Day 3432
Day 3432 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Control has sent an old friend to sit with Truman Beaumont for a while. Nothing calms him faster. Lark Ferris is a delighted new parent. Abel Callahan is a delighted new parent. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Shortcut reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
