tune: A North County Maid

Notes:

Note from Judith and Aralias, the archivists: This story was originally archived at Hermit.org Blake's 7 Library, which was closed due to maintenance costs and lack of time. To preserve the archive, we began manually importing its works to the AO3 as an Open Doors-approved project in August 2015. We posted announcements about the move and emailed authors as we imported, but may not have reached everyone. If you are (or know) this author, please contact us using the e-mail address on Hermit.org Blake's 7 Library collection profile.

This work has been backdated to 26th of May 2008, which is the last date the Hermit.org archive was updated, not the date this fic was written. In some cases, fics can be dated more precisely by searching for the zine they were originally published in on Fanlore.

Work Text:

An Auronar maid
Through the galaxy strayed,
For with her own leaders she did not agree;
But she wept and she sighed
And she telepathicised
"How I wish once again on Auron I might be!
For my people do say
That however far you've gone
You will still feel the pull of the planet Auron.

"Now widely I roam
Exiled from my dear home,
Where thoughts are shared freely
With no need for speech,
Where you're never alone
When your sister is a clone
And the comfort of contact is always in reach.
And my people do say
That however far you've gone
You will still feel the pull of the planet Auron.

"Strange worlds have I found
Where moon discs skim the ground;
I'll own the cosmos is a wonderful sight.
But there's nowhere in space
Like our Replication Base
Where young clones develop from morning to night.
And my people do say
That however far you've gone
You will still feel the pull of the planet Auron.

"No doubt if I pleased
I could pairbond with ease:
On board we're outnumbered by men (four to two).
But whoever I wed
Must speak straight into my head
And pilot me back to my Auronar home.
For my people do say
That however far you've gone
You will still feel the pull of the planet Auron."
