What Is There To Do?

The Black Void - Episode 8444

I finish my lunch while continuing to talk to Ulrike. "I can understand if Caroline finds it hard to find things to do," I say. "I visited the dorm that I've been allocated to just before coming here and saw that, apart from basic toiletries, all that I had by way of possessions was two rather unappealing books."

"There is a small library, but the selection of books is not great - and even smaller if you cannot read English, like quite a few of the women here. There are certainly no copies of People magazine - or any other magazines for that matter. There is a gym. There is also a games room, with a couple of packs of playing cards, a Monopoly set, a few jigsaws and a table tennis table. There's even a PC with a small collection of rather ancient computer games. As you can imagine, that is in great demand, so we had to institute a booking system with one hour slots. It has no Internet connection, naturally."

"That's better than I feared. How about TV, cinema and music?"

  1. "No cinema, but there's TV and music. The TV is only for viewing DVDs, though. We are probably many light years from Earth, so even if TV signals could reach here it would take a very long time."
  2. "None of those, I'm afraid."
  3. Before Ulrike can reply, we are interrupted.
