I’m always kind of amazed when retirement homes are called “Sunset Estates” or “Twilight Reflections” the likes. But it also makes me smile for the humor of it.

I think Goonth is faking, to hear whether she wants to help them or not.
“Enema sessions start at 10AM”?! Bet you they have a Vomit-thorium as well…
Just desserts Symbiont!
It’s good to see Tesfay smiling. A retirement planet sounds about the right speed for him.
“Some guy has this big alpaca farm there.”
There was a retirement home that opened in the town of Purley in the UK which called itself Purley Gates.
They changed the name soon after opening.
Well! This is going to prove interesting.
Say what you will about old people, they do have time to chat and try and stay in touch with the grandkids, wherever they are.
When a human with a symbiont shows up with a captive from a race no one has seen or heard of, it’s going to start the rumor mill like it was fueled with plutonium. Where THAT is going to lead is anybody’s guess.
Looking forward mightily to Monday and what the retirees make of their guests. O ho ho ho ho!
Hey, Pete, I always enjoy your comments and your enthusiasm. So I thought I’d forewarn you, Monday will be a scene change back to the rest of the cast. But the retirement plan it will show up soon! 🙂
Scene changes are the very stuff of suspense. I welcome them greatly.
But ach! I am trying not to anticipate your story, and doing a bad job of it. My apologies. Not my circus, not my monkeys, and I need to remind myself of that more firmly.
That said, I can see you have thought this through, and I await developments on Neutron Stardust with bated breath. And what is happening with Stangor and her– But no, I said I wouldn’t, so I won’t. Rrrroll on the story, rrrrroll on!
Hmm, I have a sneaking hunch that the Stribs somehow don’t know much about grandparents yet. They might discover that grandparents –even adoptive ones– could even WILLINGLY help raise children, without the kidnapping and psychotropic medications, for some unexpected and as-yet-unimagined-by-Stribs reason. Hmmm.
I expect a lot of “you’re a nice young man, have you met my granddaughter. She’s lovely and can cook!”
Hmmm… “Adrenaline Acres,” “Extreme Estates.”
Could the Symbiote, theoretically, camouflage T. by covering him entirely and changing his shape?
@Dockie, camouflage, yes. Change his shape, only by adding new shape to him: https://www.baldwinpage.com/spacetrawler/2021/01/26/012621-benefit-of-the-doubt/
en… enema sessions?
Not for the weak-hearted. They can take a lot out of you, take it from me.

But only stuff that needed to come out anyway. Which, if you had BOTHERED to eat a balanced diet with lots of fiber and lots of water when you were a young whipper-snapper, you probably wouldn’t NEED nowadays.
But do you young-uns ever listen to the voice of experience? Do you ever stop and think, “Hey, maybe this old coot has been through the grinder and knows a thing or two”? Feh. Why, in MY day, we learned to listen to our elders! THEY had gotten old by learning not to mess with the dinosaurs! Which they learned by LISTENING to THEIR elders! But nowadays, (starts hobbling off, voice getting fainter) …
AND ANOTHER THING …
Oh wow, man. You missed your Sal Hepatica today, didn’t you?
Youth is wasted on the young.
You know, they always say “don’t read the comments”, but here that REALLY doesn’t apply. You folks are like the best of Statler and Waldorf, adding something to the show.
