You'd better run along and get dressed while I take him up to the instrument room." "Why move him?" Kerim asked. "The instrument room's got an overall safety field. I've turned it on now, and if something starts banging us around again, the room will be the safest place on the ship. I'll bring his personal luggage up too, and you can start looking through it for the keys.
