... because the new section has been building for over three years and
you've known for at least a year the date you were going to bring it up to
spin... yet you had me kicked out of my compartment with less than thirty

warning at all. Sethos, you aren't just moving us around to allow for attaching
the new section. If that were true, we would have been told at least a month
ago, along with temporary reassignments and with dates for moving into new
permanent quarters. No, you're rousting us right out of Golden Rule habitat ...
and I want to know why!"
"Get out of my office- I'll have someone take you by the hand and lead you
to your new-temporary-quarters."
"Not necessary. Just tell me the coordinates and the compartment number.
I'll wait here while you look them up."
"By God, I believe you want to be kicked off Golden Rule!"
"No, I've been quite comfortable here. I'll be happy to stay ... if you
will tell me where we are to sleep tonight... and give us our new permanent
assignment-where we'll be living once the new section is welded on and
pressurized, I mean. We need a three-room suite, to replace the two-roomer I had
and the one-room compartment Mrs. Ames had. Two terminals. One for each of us,
just as before. And low gravity. Four-tenths gee by preference, but not more
than half a gravity
