Can you predict what will come in 100 years? Can you see beyond the known dimensions of time and space, into the unknown? Dimension X. A spread 200 light-years across space. For the passengers on the immigration space ship from Earth, they appear to be pinpoints of light in the darkness.
The men, women, and children slept in their box in the pure dormitory. Or sat reading the immigration folders that describe the worlds of the rich stars in growing A few rosy terms. And traffic stood before the vision port and searched for the spot of light which would be her new home.
Can't tell which is which, can you? I asked the steward for mine. There it is. You see, that nice bright little star up in the left-hand corner. Oh, who's back on here? Alka-three, I'm gonna meet my son there.
He sent for me. Harry always was a good son. I used to say to my husband just before he died. Harry is a good son. I'm going to Dorodora III. My sister's there. Oh, isn't that nice?
It's a wonderful thing for a young girl like you to start life way out here. I used to tell Harry's father that if he had any spunky be out on the ridge, start making a fortune.
He was a system buyer at Bloomingdale's kitchenware. I think maybe if I asked the person he could point out Dorodora III. Oh, would you go ahead there? You paid your fare like everybody else. Oh, what did you say your name was?
And Travis, I'm not the eldest. Mrs. Harold E. Elders, of course I don't use Harold's name now. Are you all alone? Yes, my folks died last year. That's why I'm coming out to live with my sister.
