But if it really is a "Lady Sally's", complete with minimum-age rules, health checks all around, profit-sharing amongst the employees, and no requirement to have sex even if you work in the place, then the shuttle flights would be allowed to resume.
In short: a brothel with happy employees is OK with Noah, one with "comfort girls" isn't. (I guess maybe Noah's leaning towards one of the Heinleiner factions, despite what it says in his character writeup...)
But there won't be a brothel on Stellvia. First, there's no room. ("Boss, we just opened a new structure..." "And it's already completely leased.") Second, the place has a reputation as a "safe" place for 'Dane families to visit to maintain.

Quote:Actually, if Noah found out about any flights going from Stellvia to a space brothel, he'd shut them down pretty damn quickly... until he had a chance to determine whether the brothel was staffed by volunteer employees or draftees. Noah's like me that way - it's okay if everyone's willing and informed ahead of time, but desperation or coercion on even one participant's part makes it a no-go. And then there's the concerns about slavery.
Also, I'd imagine a fair amount of the "trade" would be with visiting Danes. They'd likely want to have a regular shuttle out of Stellvia if Rob allowed them to.

Quote:I thought The Island was in LEO...? Stellvia's at L5, which counts as "in orbit" but is further out than most folks consider "Earth orbit" to be...
Stellvia's probably the first stop for 'dane tourists heading into Fenspace - it's in Earth orbit, after all.
