K-012: Independent Transporter Welcome Wagon (Nonoop System, near the Nav Buoy)
According to Oliver’s PDA – I don’t recall him wearing a watch – it’s BG03-8-30; that is, Blue Shift, Green Job, 3rd Task, 8th Moment and 30th second.
Channing says, “Well, I’ll finish the tour, get you settled, we can talk currency and then I’m sure Moloney would love to catch up with you. How does that sound?”
Behind the counter, Moloney nods to indicate that this is so.
BG03-8-30
Assuming Oliver agrees, Channing will continue the tour, Allen following.
She leads him back out of the mess, turns right around the ring to the next door.
“You’re in luck, with us being quiet, and you being a solo drop-off, you can have a cabin to yourself.”
She leads him down a corridor, past doors labelled ‘Passenger Cabin 4’ and ‘Passenger Cabin 5’ and a T-intersection.
“I’m going to put you in six.”
She fishes in a pocket, hands him an access card with characters 6B hand-drawn on it.
Oliver will find touching it near the door sensor will unlock his cabin.
Inside is a sparsely furnished room with two bunk beds on the left (marked 6T on the top and 6B on the bottom). There are two lockers, two tiny fold-down desks each with an old-fashioned-looking vid screen and an archaic manual keyboard, two fold-away chairs and a single water spigot with a tiny basin in the wall.
“The head, shower and laundry is back up the corridor to the right. Say, would you prefer the top bunk?”
She holds out card 6T, questioningly.
Oliver nods. “Do you think you could break down the clocks for me when we talk money, too?”
Oliver takes the 6B Card.
“No, I would prefer bottom, thank you.”
Oliver prefers bottom bunk due to nightmares causing unfortunate crash awakenings in the past.
