Hansen's World Construction Period: 2217.08.23: Terran Standard Year: Second Age of Human Space Exploration: Hentai World Music Palace.
"So this is it then?"
"Not quite; parts are still coming in, a lot more construction needs to be done, plus it needs to be programmed.
"Hansen designed this thing?"
"Hansen couldn't design his way out of a shithouse. No, this one's Ernst Fuch's idea."
"Head of R and D? I thought he was a prig."
"You wouldn't believe what Mister Social Morals Workplace Representative is really like. He's been obsessing over this baby for years."
"So what's with the weird design?"
"His obsession; some early first age celluloid. 'Barbarella' I think it's called."
"Well, I can see that. I understand the slide, but what's with the conveyor belt. It makes the place look more like a factory than a music hall."
"That's how the blueprints worked out. Hansen wants to surprise his guests. He gives us the plans, we ask no questions. We just build it, and he pays us a shit ton of money."

Magda chuckled. The look on that idiot's face was a memory she would treasure. Her old sorority sisters would have a field day with this story.
"Damn, I miss college," she smiled, remembering.
New Boston Yale
was one of the earliest colonial subsidiary colleges established. Every bit as good as the original but far cheaper; good for colonists who just wanted careers, unimpressed by any prestige attached to the original.
Magda Lorraine's parents, upper middle-class colonials who'd settled on New Pretoria, were happy to send their daughter to NBY, but knew the kind of environment these Yank-descended colleges contained for young women. They made sure of her weapons and hand to hand combat training before packing her off.
NBY was a breeze. Her parents taught her to be a hard driver. She sailed through Hell Week for the
Phi Kappa Kappa
sorority; joined their
Maenad
division shortly after.
"Mmmm, the good 'ol days," she sighed; battling the rape frats, the Gee Bees, the Incel clubs, the Roofers . . . Her division set more than a few fratters straight. God help the ones who took liberties and got the usual wrist slap. More than a few rape fratters walked out of courtrooms with smug smiles, and crawled into their frat houses, in agony, desperately cradling their pulverized testicles . . . if they still had them.
Magda suspected Dick Ransome had good protection back in the day.
Had to be good, to get away with whatever shit he pulled and not get smacked by the Maenads.
She knew of the Ransome family and their power but didn't care. NBY was a gladiatorial arena, both academically and in campus life. The people who went through it successfully, came out as warriors, ready to take on the challenges of the ever expanding human hegemony.
Magda earned her MBA and the Wal-Mazon keiratsu immediately snagged her. She scraped, clawed, manipulated, and back stabbed her way up the tier, taking time to include a brief three-year marriage.
Magda paused, remembering. It was the one anomaly in her otherwise ruthless life. Miles Lorraine was actually nice, and the divorce was amicable. He was one of the few men she genuinely liked, but she loved money and power more. Besides, his sights were set on business opportunities in the Outer Rim, making the marriage impossible. She liked to think they were still friends,
Wherever he was.
"Dick Ransome would not last very long around me in college," Magda thought. Her little prank was mild compared to college. The universe outside college held different ideas.
There were college shenanigans, and then the real world. What happened in NBY, stayed in NBY. More discreet methods were available to handle people like Dick.
Still, the thought, of Dick making his way back to the hotel, wet, naked, and humiliated, made her laugh.
Embarrassing, even for a place like this, ha!
The path Magda walked led out of the Green Grotto into a broad park. She was glad to be out of the maze with its perverted statuary, and the view before her much improved her demeanor.
The deep green grass, new cut, with a scent bringing strong childhood memories, was not terrestrial. Her parents used this species on their lawn back in New Pretoria.
Magda also recognized the trees lining the pathway, "Argosean poplar," standing tall, shaped like assegai spears, purple leafed with lavender blossoms fluttering in the warm, soft breeze. They were considered the most beautiful of all trees in known Humanspace, and highly expensive, even by today's standards. Only the richest could afford such plants.
The number lining the pathway, and placed around the park, was a reminder to Magda of Hansen's obscene wealth.
I could be so rich.
The park, in contrast to the more elaborate Green Grotto, was fairly simple, with metal benches lining the trail.
"I don't think this area was built for sordid activities, or lingering."
There were no hidden copses, grottoes, or tall grass, nor statuary. It was a pleasant path to walk, on a warm, partly cloudy day, sun dappling through the leaves.
"There's obviously something at the end."
A line of trees and hedges partially obscured the building at the end. The sight, when she crossed the line, brought out another, "Oh bloody fucking hell!"
The building was Neo Deco, made of glass and plasti-steel. Wide gray marble steps ascended upwards to the glass doors.
Two identical marble statues flanked the doors, evoking a mixture of admiration and disgust from the redheaded executive; admiration for the Michelangelean skill and artistry, disgust for the obscenely erotic nature of the sculptures. Their garishness outdid even the statuary of the grotto: two extremely well-endowed satyrs, huge, vein-lined cocks erect and prominent, faced away from the doors, pursed lips upon pan pipes.
However, the statues in themselves weren't the cause of Magda's "Bloody hell." The building, itself, was an obscenity.
Two large globular structures flanked a spear-pointed tower. White pennants and flags waved from its mushroom-shaped top. It was far more obvious, even to Magda, the building's symbolism. She realized, with further disgust, the placement, and design, of the steps leading to the doors, represented the taint beneath.
"Bloody fucking subtle, Hansen."
