Boo!
Remember that place on "La Soeur du Dan Ham" that used
to have a transparent floor? So you could watch the constellations pass
by your feet while having dinner, or whatever? "Mimi's" or
some crap like that? I know some people who certainly remember it.
Some years ago, I decided to have some fun at the expense of the
flatlanders inside. I launched with my Courier about five minutes before
"Mimi's" was opening. Maneouvering around "La Soeur",
I positioned the Courier directly under the transparent floor, directly
facing it, thrusting all the time to keep the same position around the
spinning dodo. At 1900Z sharp, the shutters opened and all the folks
inside looked down, expecting to see stars instead of a huge Courier,
eight missiles and a 20 MW laser's optical front end.
I couldn't hear their yells, but I could see their horror: everyone
thought I was there to wax someone among them and that they would all
die. They were stepping on each other's hands, faces, toes, balls, tits,
whatnot, on their way to the exits. 500+ people managed to clear the
room in 20 seconds or so.
I got a hefty fine for that stunt and I believe I was never allowed
at "Mimi's" from then on. As if I cared, I always pulled over
at "Sharky's".
