Reminds me of Jerome Corbell, finding himself in a Diks 'hospital:' steps into a tranport booth, nothing, but a fine dust filtering down in the booth immediately adjacent. Twas a 'transporter' that just removed waste cells, etc. Kinda like this? Let's hope, I could use a recharge.
Great Scott! Thank you xG for your service! It's that there's something creepy about your descriptions: "rough time for the industry;" "A harsh mistress;" "pragmatic;" "number came up;" I am so sorry for your injuries. Do you feel your sacrifice has made a difference?
'cuz it's pasteurized before you drink it! lol
