Chapter 88: A divorce on the base!
The food court was the final place that Sunshine visited. It was a place where cooked or processed foods from different worlds were sold by different vendors. It was one gigantic mall with restaurants and food factories.
"No wonder that fool Cassius had a harem, with access to all this food, a lot of women were willing to follow him." She mumbled.
How did she miss the signs? Was it because she was always fighting one battle or another outside and when she returned to their base the women were well fed and well behaved. She always assumed the food was their own, acquired with their money.
Back then, she was just grateful that Cassius was well liked and had people willing to care for him in her absence. By the time she realized they were his women, it was too late.
Slapping her cheeks gently, she woke herself up from the memories of the past and scrolled through what foods were being offered. Sunshine discovered a whole new world of bizarre.
Astro burgers that were shaped like constellations and cooked by nanites! Zero-G noodles that could suspend themselves in midair for one to slurp hands free. Coffee that was promised to be strong enough to make breakfast feel like a jump through time.
Huge infinite pizza slices that contained other smaller pizza slices inside like Russian nesting dolls. Bread whose taste changed to reflect your current mood.
Vegetables that could only be tasted if one believed they existed!!
Carbonated beverages that stopped fizzing with the dip of a finger.
Black hole donuts that were so dark, they appeared to be inedible and yet were marked as best sellers!
Artificial meats that tasted exactly like meat but produced from vegetables. They were also best sellers.
Sunshine shuddered. She was a pure meat lover, 100% omnivore. Everything that was said to taste just as good as meat often turned out to be unappetizing.
