BETTY-SUE vs. PATTY

(The Pig Pen)

I wake up as the sun is coming up over the horizon.  I undock the ship and we begin floating down the river.  On both sides of us tall fields of corn are growing.  Due to the climate of the world, crops just grow constantly, and they rotate them around, so one field is just starting to sprout while another is ready to harvest, and another is about halfway between. Once again I marvel at how different the world is from what I once knew.

Tending these fields are a wide assortment and ages of women.  These folks prefer the simple life, and thankfully for them there is still a demand for “real food” which supposedly does taste a tiny bit better than what the Molecular Reorganizers can produce, though truth be told I’ve never been able to tell the difference. 

And out here in the so called “Farm Belt” a need for combat still exists among the women, and unofficial fighting venues have been established in a few areas.

The first fight we take in here is between a couple young women inside a fenced in muddy area locals call The Pig Pen.  Many women surround the area to cheer on the fighters, some of them dressed in fake beards.
