Episode 1: Welcome to The Fairgrounds

In which John B. arrives at The Fairgrounds, a space station in the Teegarden's System commonly known as the unluckiest place in Human space, and finds himself living with Althaar, the nicest being you'd ever want to meet, from a species whose very presence in any way causes Humans to react instinctively with fear, panic, and nausea. As John goes about his new day and job on the Fairgrounds, he meets many of the other beings who have wound up there, and discovers that even the simplest day-to-day existence on the station is basically a death-defying act.

Painful voices and extended use of degraded audio

Cannot bear Althaar's voice. Extended automated(?) voice exchanges with deliberately degraded audio were physically painful to listen to. Maybe there is a good story but annoying audio effects obscured EVERYTHING.

Don't bother

This story goes 90% of the way to the end and stops. Who likes to hear the end of a story anyway. All the great classics just cut off at the end....
