River has a stiff, double-sided sheet of digital paper clutched in one hand when she enters the bar. One side has a swooping full-motion advertisement for Bentley Aeronautics' latest short-range shuttle; the other side has a tangled diagram in six colors superimposed on a picture of a test-tube full of silvery liquid, and the legend PHYSICS MONTHLY in bright red. Her hand is currently covering the small touchscreen buttons that allow the reader to flip pages, rotate diagrams, and the like.

This issue of the journal is a few weeks old. That's a hazard of having to wait for mail pickups.

After stopping by Happy Hour, River carries her drink and her magazine over to a table, and settles in.
