“The shuttle will be launching in about an hour,” GuruG said cheerfully as they left the fabrication facility. “Would like to look around a little more?” “Certainly,” Alan replied, “Grace…” Grace wasn’t paying attention. She was staring with rapt fascination at a biomechanical hydraulic press. “Is that a “In a way,” GuruG replied. “It circulates nutrients to the overall structure and pressurizes the logic organs.” “ “You humans are familiar with that?” “We…

Craxina happily perused the xeno flea market that had sprung up along the sidewalk and spilled over into the parking lot of the shopping center next door. The owners of the shopping center didn’t mind. The extra foot traffic was more than welcome these days, and Craxina had And for those who weren’t… free coffee, the one bribe almost certain to work on It coming from Charlotte’s coffee laboratory only sweetened the…
