      Not So According to Plan - Joe Lynn

      — Behold! What a beauty! – uttered Scr and pointed his dry front-limb into the commander’s observation screen. – I’ve always dreamed of visiting this place. Alas! Being a young boy, I always seemed to lack a couple million to get that blasted ticket… What about you, Bearny? How d’you like this thing?

      I glanced at the planetoid, floating in the endless, speechless void in front of us. What a formless bulge! As massive as the Moon itself, and for all that – still useless. Just you listen to that - the biggest resort in the Galaxy! The living dream of all of the rich and prosperous. As if they had left anything to dream about.

      My answer was as bold and honest as you would expect it to be from a person who had just woken up from a several months long nap:

      — Why was it built at all, eh? Why couldn't they have found some neat planet with a proper atmosphere? It would’ve cost them far less time and resources. There is such an abundance of objects, rotating about the other blue giant, all within lazy reach, just waiting to get inhabited! Mind my words – most of them already have life-sustaining atmosphere, liquid oceans, more or less friendly vegetation. And yet – lifeless! At least to a point which allows building of some overpriced retreat for fat patrons. So, tell me again – why exactly did they go through all this hassle and constructed this… monstrosity?

      — You know nothing about tourism, Bearny, - a heavy moan escaped Scr’s many folded insectoid throat. – The only route you have mastered to perfection is a lazy parade from the chair of the second pilot to your beloved cryo chamber. Where you, in my opinion, spend way too much time, leaving me all but alone.

      Why don’t you get it, pal – just any suitable planet won't suffice! A natural object, in its innate rigidity, will maintain a solid atmospheric pressure, chemical balance, gravity, salinity of seas… Non-adjustable, harsh bonds of life in all of its forms! Limitations, that remind us of being frail and mortal… No, my dear earthling – this is no good for a fancy retreat. How are you supposed to subdivide it into several isolated sectors, specifically made to satisfy various needs and picky tastes of all of the guests?

      Think further, Bearny. What about unexpected cataclysms? The rich are hardly paying for unplanned and potentially lethal adrenaline rushes, caused by overall death and destruction! No, an eruption is to happen as planned – right after a late breakfast and before a massage session. This is the main idea of the Galacticum –freedom, almightiness and submission to caprice.

      My sceptic snort only stirred Scr’s agitation:

      — Exactly, my illiterate friend! Three hundred degrees of artificial gravity, variety of atmospheres – oxygen based, nitrogen based, methane or even quicksilver based! For the Agriles, preferring scorching heat– exotic lava baths. For the frosty People of Detaynes – isolated cryo chambers, furnished with ice-beds and absolute zero
