Morning sees the crew of Profit Margin gathered for breakfast in the crew lounge.  A rough schedule for the day's activities has been posted:

• LOW PASSENGERS BOARDING - MAXIMUM SECURITY
• CARGO LOADING
• PASSENGERS BOARDING
• DEPARTURE

No times are mentioned on the list, but the ship has been fuelled, and Saskia's overhaul of the fuel purifiers is complete.  All of the long-term passengers are present and accounted for.  In theory, they could leave for Rangent immediately, though that would, of course, result in an empty hold and passenger cabins.

For the moment there is only breakfast, and conversation.

Before heading out for breakfast Tylen uses his data glove to check through the local stores looking for a Grav belt than he can purchase.

Jago wakes to the gentle chime of the computers alarm call, and says ‘thank you’, as he always does. He knows that computers are ‘supposed to be’ inanimate objects but he seriously doubts that this one is and considers her a friend. Any way, politeness costs nothing.

Jago wakes to the more insistent trill of the computers alarm call and says, ‘thank you,’ as he always does, though possible a little more abruptly than he had a few minuets before.

Jago wakes to the irritating buzz of the computers alarm call and says, ‘all right, all right, I’m up already,” then has to actually get out of his cot when the computer fails to fall for this ploy and continues buzzing.

As he cleans his teeth, Jago runs through the morning’s activities in his head, press ups and stretches, a quick jog around the hanger deck, shower, breakfast and then get ready for the low birth passengers.

Noticing the time, Jago skips the first three items and heads for the shower.
