Young and green we both were the first time we, together, Tesseract portaled to the Tharis Bulge from Epsilon Delta Station, which back then was perched on the south cliff of Valles Marineris near Melas Chasma, where the clover grows thick, and my memoires of the place walk across the Plain of Sequestered Knowledge where stands the sarcophagus of our Love and What-Could-Have-Been.
If only we’d been on Venus.
