About
Comes aboard from the tender on the twelfth day after it is called. Stops inside the frame, looks the length of the bay at thirty-four wired-off positions with twelve people in them, asks how many had people in them, takes the answer, and gets on with his work. He is the first ordinary outsider the survivors meet, and his function is exactly that: ordinariness. Receipts both parcels onto his ship's machine and hands over numbered slips. Wants a signature on a line about how Tandy goes down the transfer tube, which puts him against a doctor and a patient who want opposite things. Knows the current fee schedule and the running argument about the out-of-hours supplement since March.
