Ah, Chichen Itza. Terminal Classic style. My favorite kind of pyramid.

It's one of my favorite places to come and unwind. My own Fortress of Solitude. I come here a lot. And this time it's be brought someone to share it with.

"It does feel oddly... familiar, " @Katz Spindle said.

"Your place is down plaza to the left," I said. "Dinner at 9!"

Riding the Waveform is one of the best parts of the job. Not only does it look AMAZING from the inside, but it creates a subtle vibration throughout The Mephitis that is both wonderfully relaxing and stimulating at the same time. Plus, really not much to do during the ride -- no steering, no loading, no unloading. We're out of radio contact for the duration, so no pesky calls or distractions. Nothing to do but keep an eye on the instruments and enjoy the ride.

Purple and green auroras spill over the bow of the ship. The background radiation shimmers. The ship hums.

For all my fame an notoriety, is it wrong that THIS is when I'm happiest?
