He just walked out of the medlab when he saw a young man in a crewmen's uniform swiftly walk past him, down the corridor. He was muttering something about a message and a bar being open soon. Figuring a few shots might help ease his pain, he slowly walked in the direction the fellow ran.
Eye-catching lights were pouring out of a doorway further down, one he had only seen locked before. Peering in, he saw the hurried guy nod over to another then start cleaning off the dusty tabletops. At the main bar of this establishment, he saw the former Mover Maestro, talking to someone whose voice was all he recognized. They were handling boxes of some sort.
Tightening the bandages on his left hand, he quietly approached the bar and spoke, "Nice old place you've got here." He gazed around the room a little longer as he continued with a mild grin, "How soon can I order something?"
"You see what your knowledge tells you you're seeing. ... how, what you think the universe is, and how you react to that in everything you do, depends on what you know. And when that knowledge changes, for you, the universe changes. And that is as true for the whole of society as that is for the individual. We all are what we know, today. What we knew yesterday, was different; and so were we."
- James Burke, The Day the Universe Changed (1985)
