0 SARA FIVE is seen egressing from a circular tube about four feet 
    across, schlepping a large duffel-type bag emblazoned with the 
    circular KA logo.  A pilot-looking character may be seen leaning 
    against a wall somewhere, being cool.

  1 SARA FIVE is racing through the curved habitation ring of Station 17. 
    She is dressed in baggy flight clothing; her hair is short and black and 
    cropped to one side. Her only visible jewelry are several small earrings. 
    
  2 SARA reaches a small circular platform which promptly ascends through 
    several levels of doors and numbers.  It reaches level 3.  
  
  3 SARA pushes past DAVID FIVE into the room from scene 1.  DAVID is 
    drying his hair.
  
    DAVID: Hi, nice to see you.
    
  4 SARA sits down at a nearby terminal and begins to type vainly at it.
  
    SARA: What, I can't get a connection to the outside?
    
    DAVID: Not around here -- at least, not now.  I've got my DKP thinking 
      machines absorbing huge amounts of information over the data link, 
      and --
      
    SARA: So what you're saying is, no, I'm sorry, my *work* has completely 
      supplanted any link heretofore extant to the outside world.
    
  5 DAVID: Um, yeah.
  
    SARA: I *knew* it was a mistake to follow you here. 
    
    DAVID: The processors here at Seventeen are really fast enough to get 
      something accomplished, and they'll be sending more researchers out soon, 
      and we're going to make such PROGRESS and --
      
  6 SARA: And I'm about to lose my better-half of five years to a whole 
      fucking lot of empty space.
    
  7 DAVID: What are you talking about?
  
    SARA: I'm talking about Susan, that's what I'm talking about.
    
      "Well, I don't know," she said.  "You'll be so far away, and I'll 
      never hear from you."  "Of course you'll hear from me," I said, "I 
      won't stop thinking about you."
      
      And then she was saying things like, "I don't know if I can handle 
      this light-year-relationship thing. I don't know if it's worth it. I 
      don't know if YOU'RE worth it." 
      
      And then it was, "If you're going to get all weepy and 
      sad, well, maybe you should just leave without saying goodbye."
      
  8 SARA: And so I'm WAITING for her response to a message I sent before I 
      left.  And now I don't know WHEN I'll get it.
      
  9 DAVID: Well, ... I'll hold off on tomorrow's major data transfer for a 
      few hours.  You should be able to get a video feed with no trouble.

    SARA: Thank you.  If you don't mind, I'm going to go find my bunk 
      because I have the WORST fucking headache in the universe.
    
 10 SARA FIVE leaves the room as DAVID watches.
 
 11 SARA reenters and drops her duffel.
 
    SARA: Okay, so I live here.
