“Don’t dunk on us, now!” said Steve Williams as he dribbled the back of Dante’s head into his locker. Dante kept his face against the cold metal after he pulled away, just to minimize the damage of any possible second strike.

A new face replaced the footage of factory production on the vid screen, and Jack sucked in a breath. “Traitor,” he muttered.

“I know we’ll have some detractors for sure in our industry,” the man on screen–who the chyron identified as Oliver Moreau, executive chef of Oceanside–said. “And those who think this sort of technology doesn’t belong outside of space, but I really think this is going to be a remarkable advancement for getting better, healthier food to people everywhere.” He grinned that boyish and crooked smile that had made him famous. “And it doesn’t hurt that it tastes great.”

The three minutes […]
