Day of Joy: Esme Mullane Adventures, #0
()
About this ebook
Cymbals clashed as drums made of old bowls, binds and a Saurid's belly sounded. Emse dodged past the musicians.
A Day of Joy on the Final Oblivion. Not a bad thing though Esme preferred the days where it was food everywhere over music.
Still, good to have a day off work on this alien space station so far from Earth.
Then Esme's girlfriend gave her a problem to solve and Esme's day improved.
Any day when she got to ask questions, solve problems and make her girlfriend happy was a good day.
As long as she could find a solution to the problem…

Day of Joy
Cymbals clashed as drums made of old bowls, bins and a Saurid's belly sounded. The beat varied between frenetic and so slow that it temped Esme to curl up and fall asleep. The music bounced off the floor and ceiling, off the walls of the habitats closes to the social area. Esme still wasn't sure why the Final Oblivion , stupid name for a space station, was designed like this.
Big open meeting areas but overstuffed with plants and fountains except in very select places. Lots of shiny silver and chrome support struts around the edges of the Void at the center of the station but no goddamned railings to keep people from falling off. Sure, sure, the antigravity system would keep you from going splat. It turned gravity into pretzels along the struts and edges of the thousand and one platforms.
Still creepy as hell having all that open space and nothing at all to keep you from falling right into it.
Esme turned away from the Void, determined, as always, to ignore it. Better off just pretending it wasn't there. Besides, there were way better things to focus on than the stupid design of the Final Oblivion.
Like the Day of Joy going on around her. There were flute-like things off in the t'Saoir's tentacles that they used to sing along with the Nikiphoros hanging from the ceiling. While the Nikiphoros looked like anthropomorphic bats, the t'Saoir were stout little purple penguins with eyestalks and tentacles.
Who were playing music with singing bats the size of a human. Damn but aliens were weird. A good weird, granted, but still
