Day 3830
Day 3830 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Control has sent an old friend to sit with Truman Beaumont for a while. Nothing calms him faster. Kip Doyle and Dot Ferris have stopped leaving their friendship to chance. Edie Gorse and Ewan Callahan have got into the habit of each other. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
