Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)
Review: 2019.236 (A Word for Authors)
Pro: It certainly makes sense to emphasize to new arrivals the need to take good care of their equipment.
Con: This isn’t a story, nor does it hint at one. It’s just a dull recitation of things that ought to be obvious.
