Survivors
We embark in 7 minutes.
They'll be here.
Permission to step aboard, my dear Makaela! We have one Prime Canal pass, so, Biff, Happ, below.
I just need a place to sleep.
I sure could use a morning grain.
Throw the line.
We're off.
Uh, captain, may I remain on deck to take in the sunrise? I can't hear anything from people who aren't here.
So much new building.
A Skytrain to Helen's Bridge is due in 2 years.
Electric City.
What a wonder it is.
Make sure the package is properly stowed.
I can always be spot checked.
And you.
Look like you're doing something to earn your quid pro quo.
All in service for all.
Power quality authority! Just a moment! Hello.
Is there a - a problem? There - there's not a problem.
I just, uh I, uh - I was just I was just perusing my Electric City code of conduct.
Mr.
Butler, you dropped these.
You stole my tags!? I picked up a red line EF reading coming from your flat.
So? You givin' me a ticket? A tap kit.
It's a hobby of mine.
Heh.
Uh, I run on my own battery, so it's legal.
Legal? Well, barely.
I see contraband all over this place.
But you seem harmless enough.
How are you set for green points, Mr.
Butler? Call me "Knobs.
" What are you in the market for? Time.
Information.
An occasional name.
Hey! I'm no expletive snitch! But for a person with mahogany knuckles, I could be a excellent snitch.
Knobs, you are going to keep me appraised of what's going on in your world.
Anyone you meet, you remember their name.
Anything you build, trade, or sell, you remember who for.
So I'm a rat now? Not at all.
You're a professional.
Are you really with the power authority? Ask no questions and you will be told no lies.
No questions, no lies.
That's good.
The conveniences we enjoy today are a product of sacrifice and hard work.
This is your city as it was generations ago.
A sparse spot of hope in a troubled land.
Mankind had failed, but nature prevailed.
Rugged survivors fended for themselves What's your name? Ruth.
I am Mrs.
Bean.
Come with us.
We'll take care of you.
Deep to the lifeless south desert, nestled providently between the physical barriers - Providently nestled.
If you're going to say it 30 times a day, say it properly.
The sustenance preservation guild is opening a cannery in the New Pulse precinct.
Citizens are encouraged to attend the tasty opening celebration and sample the preserved goods.
I know I won't miss it.
And while I'm there, I'll be checking out the New Pulse book market which, I hear, is not to be missed.
They'll be here.
