      New Edinburgh Space Station, Seventh Day Fourth Month, 3000 A.E.

      Shanti arrived at the observation room early the next morning. It had five oversized, comfortable chairs facing a screen that took up the entire wall. To the right stood a buffet, empty for the moment, but holding the promise of being laden with treats by the time the gentlemen arrived. There was a table to the left as well, with a remote control and some other equipment on it. Each chair had a buzzer on the side, to summon a maid, if needed.

      It is quite suitable for its purpose, she said, sitting down, and these chairs are uncommonly comfortable.

      Good, Mrs. Banks said, with a curt nod. The cook has prepared jelly donuts, cinnamon rolls, and egg sandwiches.
