An Altair IV Thanksgiving Fable

by

Eadie

Come with me as we leave Terra (Sol III “Earth” & moon Sol IIIa)



And orient our ship toward Altair:



We will use the “time sling effect” to go toward to Altair IV (it's in the direction of the galactic center):



We approach Altair IV from the night side:



And swing around the planet to our landing site:



Where we are Greeted by Robby:



Our tour guide informs us that it is just another day on Altair IV:



Some basic facts about the turkey:



Dr. Morbius has learned that the “turkey” used in ancient traditional Krell Harvest feast was called a ”chukaar” (chsu – KAY-arrr) and was quite large:







It doesn’t matter what you like:



Robby makes and serves anything:



(sorry, this isthe best I could make.)

There are enough place mats:



For all of the visitors and Krellings:



With a ”chukaar” there is always plenty of food:



















After the feast, everyone can rush to the view plate:



To watch the annual big game against the IDs



Then you can sleep. Pleasant Dreams!



I hope you liked this bit of humor.





We wave good-bye as we return home:



Good Night:




HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Miss Eadie, this is a wonderful message to All Sci-Fi's members, and I know they loved it as much as I did!

Concerning the FP lunch scene you were not satisfied with, you could (if you wanted to) use this wonderful picture from your An Addendum to Thanksgiving post — which I moved here to Contact All Sci-Fi because it was really sad about not being with the rest of these wonderful Thanksgiving messages! Laughing






By the way, did YOU make that amazing picture? If so, I can't quite figure out how you did it. The table settings are NOT the same colors as the actual photograph! And yet, everything else is in black & white! Shocked

I found it in Butch's collection of pictures. It was fan made and sent to him by email.

Thank you for the full color image.

The original photo was made by Brett Martin and posted to The Future Of Food on March 1, 2016: https://www.gq.com/story/future-of-food-david-chang and the picture can be found on Google Images.
