This short story follows Dominion Vegas and ties up some plot lines in that tale. Julie Lansdowne , from Dominion Vote, is now Undersecretary of the Air Force in the U.S. military and has asked her family to join her in Las Vegas while she manages a special reception at nearby Nellis AFB. The reception is for the women of the Comporellian Empire, reaching Earth on a trading mission. They can offer planet-saving technology in exchange for virile young men from Earth.Our leading nations have all become matriarchies in recent years, thanks to the ubiquitous S&S gyms; thus the Comporellians see us as a civilized race and enter negotiations in a bargaining mode.
