Mahoun's communications officer, on finding out =
that her boss was, unexpectedly, both alive and =
married, insisted that there must be a party, and put him on hold.
CONTENT: Hey! it's a wedding reception. There's =
an astonishing lack of violence, death and gore. =
Not even any sex or nudity or coarse language. =
There is a surprise, for most people, though.

ant.

[317] I'm reminded of the "milk-and-coffee" =
riddle from the mailing list last year. I =
intended these to be separate choices of =
beverage, but you know, it doesn't matter a lot if it's a combination.
[299] Just something you probably didn't pick up =
on about Yelwitian society. Or maybe you did =
because ... Mahoun got his teenage job at the =
spaceport because it was a Federation joint =
venture and the Federation wouldn't brook slave =
labour. Mahoun and his lawyer congratulated =
themselves on scoring a free slave complete with =
a transport permit. I mentioned that a member of =
Mahoun's crew came from a slave refuge. I just =
let you assume that she was a former slave. But =
remember, if you get a pet from an animal rescue =
shelter, in a society where it's normal to have pets, it's still a pet.
Also, I decided not to put it in the story, but =
there's a reason, other than extreme willingness =
to party, that Emlye was able to establish a =
party faster than I can clean my kitchen. =
Anyone see it? There are a couple of hints left in.
