Since nobody bothered to post a theme today (I post tomorrow's), I am going with a non-theme story today.
Spotters located asteroids. Grabbers grabbed asteroids. Shovers retrieved asteroids. Chewers pulverized asteroids. Sniffers analyzed asteroids. And Gulpers ate them for sorting and processing.Thanks to goofball rules held over from Terran Days, there were also Packers and Tossers. They packed the tailings back into dense balls of spacerock and launched them back into the belt.
Sometimes, tossers liked to have a little fun, whizzing a million-ton boulder inches from a control pod or a cruise ship.
Tosser 7-D used millimeters instead of inches. Another holdover from Terran Days, that stupid Metric System.
Bye bye, Titanic. We're still counting the bodies.
I need to come up with a theme quickly.
