Seventh Day of Yule-Tide 2020

On the seventh day of Yule-tide my true love gave to me, seven event passes for up coming astrobiology conferences,

Six-sided crystals

Five mock-up tourist brochures for Titan

Four record discs for the radio telescope

Three UV fluorescing samples

And two microscope slides

To go in my science laboratory.

 

Tani fussed over her research

Fiddling with notes on presentations

Rerunning demonstrations

And becoming derailed by a new experiment

Because what if she incorporated a six-sided crystal

Infused with bioluminescence into the Titan space probe plans…

Time passed, Enceladus turned, and Tani muttered away in her lab.

A tinkling at the door caught her attention

Tani looked up, elongated head angled towards the door

Her true love approached and passed over the tinkling objects

Tani ran an arm over the objects and gasped

The words inscribed on the metal described them as event passes

For seven different upcoming astrobiology conferences

(Which is precisely what she had been preparing for)

Tani squealed and hugged her true love.

He also passed over a box compiled by various people in her life

A box with six-sided crystals

Five mock-up tourist brochures for Titan

Four record discs for the radio telescope

Three UV fluorescing samples

And two microscope slides

To go in her science laboratory.
