It’s pretty cool to see you do a comic-style project as well as you do your

enjoyed the story, and this new take on your original concept. I
particularly enjoyed the cafeteria, which you made both realistic and
decidedly less appealing than a trip to Cinnabon! I agree, if you’re going
to lure humans with a particular scent, it would be tough to beat the
Cinnabon aroma.

I think you’ll find that the ability to do variety exists in all builders.
Creativity is creativity. Building is building. It’s just a question of
motivation.
For example, I’ve never tried to make an interior like the cafeteria, but the
plot needed it, so I was motivated. I approached it logically. Me thinking:
Hmm... It needs a hygiene station first - little sinks for mandatory hand
washing, monitored by a camera. Then maybe a moon muffin buffet table, always
stale, even when fresh. How about a few pots of reheated moon gruel that you can
slop on radar dish plates that leak through a hole in the center. Something to
wash it all down? Yes, a drink dispenser. (Oh, and the ungainly goblets you must
use are RF tagged so you can’t leave the cafe with them and spill all over the
moonbase.) You can have either hot or cold. The spigot on the hot dispenser
needs to be fiddled with or you don’t get anything but a trickle. The cold
dispenser includes choices for orange and grape slushies. If you hit the button
for grape though you’ll still get orange, because I don’t like grape. In any
case all the orange syrup was used up months ago and you’ll just get plain slush
regardless. There are also only a few chairs in the cafe, austere stand up
tables being the primary place to eat. This isn’t a social meeting place, it’s a
grim, grey feeding trough. By the way, I hear a Cinnabon just opened off of
module 32. Hey, where are you going? :-)
