Day 5409
Day 5409 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Cass Tanner has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. For four seconds Truman Beaumont's radio carried a voice describing exactly where Truman Beaumont was standing. Control has sent an old friend to sit with Truman Beaumont for a while. Nothing calms him faster. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Plum Harvest runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
