CHAPTER TWO The storm sounded like transport ships were landing on the floor above us as we tried to make ourselves at ease in the shielded suite. It has comfortable furniture, an entertainment console, an office area, a stocked kitchen on one end, a full bath, and several separate rooms with bunks. It was actually nicer than many of the apartments I had lived in before. But the noise made it hard for us to relax. Well, except Webby. He had curled up for a nap on the top of a tall cabinet.

CHAPTER THREE After the storm moved away, Marvin got back to work. He had to check the adjustment that Scheduler made to arrival times for expected travellers. He likes to make sure he is in the transport room for all arrivals. He doesn't really have to be; the AI would give the travellers instructions on where to wait for the next jump, and how long it will be. Marvin just likes to make sure travellers knew that in this bleak environment there is a human to interface with. He also checks in with Mapper to make sure there are no known problems at destinations. Again, Scheduler and Mapper would figure that out without him, but he says he likes to be able to reassure anxious travellers, and he gets info from Traveller's Friend about the current events and weather so he can make small talk with them if they seem the type that needs that. He likes meeting the travellers and learning about them as much as he loves learning about the technology that moves them from place to place.

CHAPTER ONE “Where's Webby!” Marvin, previously calm as he described to me the mass devastation that can be caused by a windstorm like the approaching one, is suddenly panicked when he doesn't see his cat as we head for the shielded level of the building. I yelled back over the roaring and screeching winds to let him know that Webby already went down the stairs. Marvin laughed, and his usual calm demeanor returned. He asked if I was still happy I decided to stay here.

Harper's Hill, Chapter 10: A Stranger's Armchair
Sitting in Emily's house, the house of a stranger, Nicole started to observe her surroundings. She noticed that the living room was dated. She sat in an old leather armchair that faced a big couch that looked extremely comfy, but also faded, as it was obvious that all of the furniture in this room had seen several years of use. It seemed that maybe this house hadn't been redecorated properly since the 80s.

Bored God and Excited Boy
A heavy silence filled the room, only interrupted by the soft rustle of sheets as Logan Sinclair woke up. The curtains were tightly drawn, blocking the morning light and casting long shadows on the cluttered floor. He blinked sleepily, stretched his arms, and a grin spread across his face.
