The floor of a small curved room, seen from above in the dark: the edge of a bunk, and a rug cut from a silver thermal blanket pulled back from a round floor hatch with a wheel in its lid.
A crooked stair cut down into grey rock, turning as it goes. One small lamp burns far below. — 1 M — 2 M
Fat blue marker on chiselled rock: 3 M, a tick, and under it, SAFE FROM THE SUN.
Crayon on ration-box card: a grey cloud with blue rain falling from it, the word RAIN, and a small question mark.
Crayon on white card: a round blue and green Earth with a smiling face and yellow rays around it, and the word HOME underneath.
Crayon on white card: a brown dog with pointed ears and a long tail, and the word DOG.
Crayon on ration-box card: four robots in a row, a digger with round wheels, a tall crane on tracks, a long machine on many wheels, and a little walker with a lamp on a stalk.
Crayon on white card: a stick figure in a round helmet, labelled me.
Blue marker on ration-box card, a copy of a drawing: the number 1, a section through the ground with a deep pit in the middle, and a small circle in the sky.
Crayon on ration-box card: a grinning masked girl with pointed red ears and red eyes, holding a scythe with a red blade, and a long dark tail curling along the bottom. Signed N.
Crayon on white card: a yellow sun with a smiling face and orange rays.
Blue marker on ration-box card, a copy of a drawing: the number 3, a round module with a row of bunks inside and one window circled in red, and under its floor a short line, a door, with stairs zigzagging down from it.
The end of the tunnel: a wall of rock with a window drawn on it in chalk, four panes, and an Earth in the top right pane. Beside the window, eleven chalk strokes in a tally. Under it, in chalk, a floor with a door in it, its lid open, stairs going down, and 3 M written beside them. A lamp on a curved stalk lights the wall from below.

A drawing in black line on pale vellum: a section through a residential module with one window facing a small circle labelled EARTH. Inside, standing beside a bunk, a girl drawn to scale: a bob of hair with a tuft at the crown, an oversized hoodie with a pocket, rolled cuffs, hands at her sides, socks; a dimension line beside her reads 1.38 M. In the floor, labelled DOOR IN THE FLOOR, a hatch with stairs going down about three metres into a long passage labelled HER TUNNEL, with a dotted line on toward the pit, TO THE PIT: 17 degrees. General notes: 1. All plant idle until sunrise. Fleet to cold sleep, accept losses. 2. Except MOLE-1: extend HAB 3 tunnel to 3 m cover. 3. Restore HAB 3: air, heat, light. 4. No work on occupied modules. Ever. A red stamp: ISSUED FOR CONSTRUCTION, REV B, T.V. A timeline along the bottom: now, 31 h struck out, sunrise 128 h, 130 h, just, Earth launch. Title block: EARTHLIGHT, a city for the Moon, sheet 3 of 14, residential module, rev B, drawn T.V., checked N., scale 1:30, office longhand.
