I
have no luggage per se, which is why I was surprised to
receive a notice to go and reclaim it at Bay YB-16 - wherever that
was.
I
was surprised again when I realized that my notebook had disapeared
from my rear pocket. That was particularly awkward as I had never
taken it out. It was still unwritten. Who knows? Maybe that kind of
article has an enormous value already. Or it is bound to have soon,
and someone has already speculated on this.
It
was not a serious loss, to put it mildly. But in some corner of my
head, I knew I was entitled to look out for people with too many pens
and crayons. It was not the kind of incident that could prevent me
from staying aboard the Haniwa.
The
next move was to find a place to settle down. I wanted to build one
with my own hands, actually, although it seemed sensible to wait
after the Launching. I went to Barracks XT-14, as shown, and
billetted myself to a two-room flat, on ground level.
