Night had fallen in Astraopolis. Em stood inside the brightly lit Automat, wrapped in her sheet, and considered the rows of little illuminated windows with their dishes of food, debating between shepherd’s pie and macaroni and cheese. She was surprised to find comfort food in a place called Nebula’s End, where exotic extraterrestrial fare seemed more suitable.

“They have perfectly working rockets, why shouldn’t there be perfectly working food?” Buck said.

Em, Astraopolis, and Dr. Carny’s Death Killer elixir. More happens of course. One of my favorite chapters. Enjoy!
