Day 5099
Day 5099 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Control has sent an old friend to sit with Truman Beaumont for a while. Nothing calms him faster. Perry Gorse fumbled Truman Beaumont's name and recovered it smoothly. Nobody breathed. Nell Tidewater was born to Mabel Tidewater and Dell Tanner. 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.
