Day 11

The day started in a typical fashion. I woke up next to my neighbour's stupid-looking dog again. The digital clock on the wall read 25:01. Weird, but I don't care, my mind is still occupied by the naked lady I saw last night. I have seen my fair share of naked bodies but she's of a different breed. Back on Earth, I might have preferred the stupid-looking dog, or the digital clock; here... she's a commodity.

The phone rang, I answered it and I was shocked to see her on the screen! Even though we did not say so, I thought last night would be the first and the last time as that was the unwritten rule between the so-called Type E and Type U. "What is this?!" I said, "Are you trying to get us killed?" She ignored my question and went on to ask me anxiously, "What time is it now?" I could have explained to her what she saw on my clock was normal in an environment distorted by us energy gatherers but that might get me into trouble with the agency.
