Esposa Heyya taking a bath “No gym, no games, the voice whispered and I shrugged resignedly: at least I tried.”
A long moment’s pause followed, but I could feel the air vibrating gently around me as if struggling to form the words. Only milk and honey. Beyond the terraforming module were the food tanks, and a little farther away, a thin, crystalline stream trickled from the water tank. *

I smiled back, put on my suit, buckled my seatbelt, still according to the regulations, entered the descent data, pressed the lever and leaned against the backrest: from now on everything would be automated. On the banks there was a fine gravel, and here and there a golden sand stretched along the banks forming a little beach. To be able to write a few words you have to think them first, so it seemed pointless to use the makeshift pencil: it would have read my thoughts anyway. *
