Thank you, Senku. A Brief History of Time is proving remarkably useful.
"There have never been trouble with provisions or with room for new arrivals while I have been aboard. In that sense, it is as reliable as any institution that I have ever heard of. When carriages are requested for specific purposes, the train will usually provide them in time.
"We are usually asked to vote on such measures. I've never been quite sure whether that is protocol, inherently part of the process of creating these spaces, or simply an attempt to make us feel invested in the train when we might otherwise not feel so inclined.
"Boredom and frustration has abated, somewhat, with these additions. But I don't think they ever truly fade. This is, for the most part, an energetic population used to more freedom than they receive under the circumstances- and that is before you add in the matter of 'unlawful tethering' and concerns about their own worlds."
