PSI Jazz!

As you make your way along the deserted corridor, you notice the loudest of the party sounds are falling away behind you and you are heading into a zone of mellow synths and gentle rolling jazz. Piano and trombone music makes its way to your ears, as you turn a corner and come to the source of the uplifting vibes. The corridor opens into a large, softly lit lounge, which features a stage at the back and a floor full of tables and stools, at which various people sit enjoying the show. A couple of waitresses are weaving their way through the tables, taking drinks orders or delivering beverages from the trays they carry. There is a well-stocked bar against one wall, at which a number of familiar characters are ordering drinks. Before you can give the patrons of the lounge much attention or try to work out who is who, the scene on the stage catches your eye, and all but makes your jaw drop. The band playing is a five piece outfit, and although the fact the piano player, the trombone player, the bass player and the saxophone player are all Mega City Judges, in full uniform (and helmet) is stunning enough, it’s nothing compared to the sight of the sultry songstress undulating before them. Dressed in a black satin dress with a slit that reaches for the sky is a tall, slim, buxom blonde with curves a man would kill for. Or would...if it wasn’t for the Judge’s badge pinned to her dress, identifying this particular lounge-singing beauty as Mega City One PSI Judge extraordinaire Cassandra Anderson!



Do you...

Worry that Anderson will pick up on your inevitable impure thoughts about her and head off to check out the other venue, or...

Make your way to an empty table, as close to the stage as possible, to get a better look?
