Day 5178
Day 5178 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Control has sent an old friend to sit with Truman Beaumont for a while. Nothing calms him faster. Milo Ferris is not currently speaking to Gil Ferris. Ewan Callahan is grieving Wilf Tanner. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Motion Still Pending takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
