daughterofthefifthAfter weeks of entry and exit, the air in the room no longer smelled unused. The dust had been cleared, the system access panels had been reactivated, and the computer was under strict instructions: Lighting at 60%, music at 5 (a number Lwaxana found arbitrary, but she and Miss Pond had spent some time determining the level just loud enough to fill the room but not so loud as to interfere with conversation, and "5" it was), all replicator dishes produced in group amounts.
A long table along one side held the fruits of her initial bouts with the replicators. On orders to produce Earth Indian food, it had given her three large dishes of Thai curry, one bowl of garam masala, a large basket of decorative corn, a plateful of pemmican, a square dish full of succotash, and a great quantity of naan. It had also produced six pitchers of something labelled "India Pale Ale."
The room itself being very large even with its contents, Lwaxana and Amy had taken pains to drag in from nearby empty quarters a number of chairs, which they had arranged into artful groupings so as to facilitate small bubbles of congenial conversation. Many of these clusters had been furnished also with small tables, or were placed under standing industrial lamps draped with silk scarves to soften their utilitarian appearance.
But of course the main attraction was this: in the very center of the room was a perfect miniature of Earth's Taj Mahal. At 1/24th scale, the peak of its magnificent dome and tops of its spiraling minarets were just under five feet tall. Having been fitted by its unknown maker with tiny replicas of its fixtures as well, the building glowed from within. It was set in forty square feet of miniature gardens and ringed all 'round with a low wall to prevent accidental stumbling. The water in the tiny reflecting pools glittered under the light of ten inch lamp posts. The exterior carvings were done in exquisite detail and a close look into one of its tiny windows revealed perfect, tiny furniture.
It was a room that invited wonder, and now, with Amy's and Lwaxana's help, it welcomed talk and celebration as well.
