“GALAXY BRAINED.”

The fur-trimmed jacket is not his. He is the first in the Gilded Mile to say so, and the last to say whose.

OBSERVATION

He answers questions a few seconds late, as if the signal has a long way to travel. Reputation on file: explaining physics to the Faculty, who did not ask.

HISTORY

He was found in a crater on the Outer Ring, glowing faintly and extremely annoyed.

ANOMALY

The first anyone in saw of the fur-trimmed jacket, he was asking a stranger on the tram whether it looked like it belonged to him. The stranger said yes. He said that was the problem. A sentence here was blacked out by hand.

CONCLUSION

He has learned to cook one local dish. He cooks it every night and is delighted every time. Observation continues.

THE FUR-TRIMMED JACKET BELONGS TO SOMEONE ELSE.

HE HAS NEVER SAID WHO.

ACCESS TO THIS OBSERVATION IS RESTRICTED.
