Bull Heavy Metal #133: 1991 July

As: 'NogegoN'

A young woman named Nelle arrives on the planet NogegoN looking for her missing friend Olive. The planet has very low gravity, and most travel is done by jumping from place to place. Olive (or Olivilo as she was called on NogegoN to meet the requirements of symmetry) had been living with a sculptor named Natan, who makes sculptures by having models jump through vaporized stone. They fought and she left. Nelle dislikes Natan immediately and destroys all the statues made with Olivilo. Soon, however, as Nellen, she is making new statues and feeling attracted to Natan. Nellen makes several symmetrical trips to public records offices for information about Olivilo, and to establish her own identity. She has conversations with an archivist, and ruminates by herself, about the doctrines and values of a symmetry-based society. At the end Nelle discovers that Olive has left the planet, and Nelle leaves as well.
