For once the room chosen for Battledecks* could accommodate the numbers who showed up to watch the competitive melee. In past library conferences the rooms for the activity have always attracted more than there were seats so that the overflow have had to lean or sit against the wall or wherever creative space usage led them.
The Conference Center was saving on ventilation or perhaps there was a wish to change the room into a sauna, while the number of endotherms added to the tropical climate. Those who brought along chocolate bars soon had the opportunity to drink them as hot chocolate.
*For this game the contestants, in isolation from each other, see a series of miscellaneous slides to which they must ad lib a narrative thread within a limited time. The slides are not chosen for their mundanity.
