is caffine not common in space?

(as an interesting side-note, the american airforce (and I suspect others) has a habit of giving severe stimulants to its combat pilots (amphetamines and the like) do riders not do similar things?)

this is good babe, but it feels different than the rest, maybe because it's dirt-bound?

Caffeine, sure, turkish coffee, not so much.

(Don't know. Would doubt Taarstad's on those, though--he's never been military.)

Maybe, yes. Also I was writing at midnight. >.>

*solemn* I have no idea what you could be speaking of.

( :) They're still pretty young; Kyriake grows up to be the keeper of the house for the whole family--see also matriarch--while Theodora becomes a really, really good engineer who spends most of her time in orbit. They manage to share a house for about three days before they start having hierarchy problems. But here . . well. Lookit greataunt Helena's young man! He's ADORABLE. :D )
