Excerpt

from Titan is all the Rage by Jemima Pett

“I’m bored.”

“You’re always bored.”

“We’re always going to the same places, that’s why.”

Sand-yachting on Mars had become tedious, and snowboarding on the polar ice caps had given Kent and me a few week’s respite until the ennui set in again.

“I have to go back to the corporation in ten days.” I told him. “Do you want to stay here or go back to Earth for the rest of the time?”

If we went back he could crow about it sooner for longer. If we stayed for more snowboarding, or returned to sand-yachting, or even switched to float-rapids down the dusty canyons, he’d build up new stories to keep him one-up in the adventure stakes.

“Let’s go up to Poris Major and try some canyoning.”

Good. It kept me out of instant communication range for longer. Besides, I had a marketing idea that I wanted to work on undisturbed.

Had the guys on Titan had got far enough to open up the oceans for tourism? They were definitely close; the corporation had funded the exploration, and realising our investment was my priority. My last exchange with them indicated possibilities for plume-shooting, dune-buggies, and cryo-diving, as well as submarine wildlife tours. I grabbed my tab and sketched out a plume-shooting storyboard while Kent got another round of drinks.
