Why This Must Be Read: So sue me, I am a total sucker for Domesticity in Space... and there aren't nearly enough about how Our Heroes actually adapted to life in this alien city (or, umm, didn't :) Domenica's stories tend to focus on the military aspects of the expedition, and by making the all too plausible assumption that the Marines were handed the job of feeding themselves and their scientific charges, she weaves a simple, not laugh-out-loud but drily humorous and quite endearing look at one of those domestic aspects that I love so much... and her John is simply wonderful :)
The kitchens were some kind of lab; they have ovens - kilns of some kind, since they are clearly not anything that would ever be sold at Sears - and plenty of really hard countertops and built-in storage and sinks. The marines have found Ancient refrigerators and freezers somewhere else in the city (i.e., another lab) and moved them in; apparently the transporter resembled one of those 'how many frat boys can you wedge into a phone booth' pranks during that adventure. The dining area - some kind of atrium - isn't directly next to it, so the marines have some remodeling to do.

John has never been more popular in his nascent command than when he authorizes the indoor use of C4.
