After Amaterasu, the Habitat, Alpha Centauri, Luna, Mars, the Pacific and London, we read about a bay on the South Atlantic.
The restless, blue, green and white-foamed ocean shines and glitters. Its cool breeze is salt-tanged. Walvis Bay stretches from Pelican Point to a high tower of homes and offices. Pleasure boats dance while robots unload freighters. Metamorphic grass, trees and flowers cover former desert. Invisible communication lines cover half a continent.
On the roof of the tower, Fenn and Maherero converse with refreshments while watching a dance accompanied by specially bred colourful birds. The dance leader follows their conversation through sonic ear plugs and directs the dance accordingly.
The next question is what are they talking about but we will have to return to that later.
