I'm still in the rented hab room down in the lower levels, it's just after three in the morning.
Someone's been trying to open my door.
I'm thankful that the merchants and habiteliers of these levels know that travelling merchants and adepts like having somewhere secure to sleep - with enough scrip you can rent a room with barred windows, plasteel-lined doors, those sorts of things.
The next lifter back to the surface is supposed to leave this level at just after six, so I'd intended to sleep until five, then make my way out there. I was a little disturbed by the way the hooded one had looked at me, so I decided to pay for the most secure room I could find and get as much rest as I could before I went back up.
I should have turned around and gotten on the next lifter back up last night. But I didn't want to make it too obvious I was up to something. The time we got in, it's not unreasonable that an adept would have taken a room for the night before carrying on business in the morning. I'm just really thankful right now that I decided to spend that scrip on the secure room.
I don't know who's out there. I don't know if they know that I'm awake now. I'm not even sure what woke me up, they seem to be trying to be careful. I can see the handle moving, but it's slow, cautious. Like they're trying to feel it out. The door has three locks - the external room lock, an electronic lock and a huge, thick bolt on the inside. So I'm fairly confident they can't get in.
I don't think I'll be getting any more sleep before I leave. I just hope that they'll give up before then and that they're not lying in wait for me when I do.
Thought for the Day: Rest well. One can never be too prepared for what trials the morning may bring.
