Max sat on the built-in bunk, facing the door of his small room.  Above him was a second bed, but he had the room to himself.  There was a small closet next to a sink, and a pair of stools next to the door.  The light overhead put out white light, hinting at blue-green. Most of the room was off white, with objects adding color here and there. He was reading from a tablet when someone knocked on the door.  

Max opened the door to find one of  Captain Sayle’s men waiting there; Max didn’t. . .
