A pod was like a simulator, but a million times better

I'd rather be free than in a pod."

The following afternoon, as Sala walked up and down in her little room, waiting to go with Cham for their pod experience, she had a strange feeling in her stomach

They left the walkway at the nearest exit to the pod center

A friendly young woman called Zee guided them to their pod area.

"And then, when everything is attached, the pod moves into a horizontal position, so you're lying down."

You'll see her in the pod," remarked Zee.

Zee guided Sala into her pod; the door closed, and she could feel the cool metal attachments touching her face and her body suit

Your pod is about to move back into a vertical position."

For a moment, this felt as unreal as being in a pod

But Wena knew that Sala had told Cham about the rose fruit, didn't she? Anyway, Sala needed to tell Cham to try and persuade him not to go into a pod.

Maybe when Cham comes out of the pod."

"What do you think? Could the pod be doing something to him? Changing the way he thinks somehow?"

"I'm not sure he'll agree to leave the pod anyway, but if he does, they might still want him to stay
