Kim Stanley Robinson Quote
Thus when Hiroko came up and said, Nadia, this crescent wrench is absolutely frozen in this position, Nadia sang to her, That’s the only thing I’m thinking of— baby! and took the crescent wrench and slammed it against a table like a hammer, and twiddled the dial to show Hiroko it was unstuck, and laughed at her expression. The engineer’s solution, she explained, and went humming into the lock, thinking how funny Hiroko was, a woman who held their whole ecosystem in her head, but couldn’t hammer a nail straight.And that night she talked over the day’s work with Sax, and spoke to Spencer about glass, and in the middle of that conversation crashed on her bunk and snuggled her head into her pillow, feeling totally luxurious, the glorious final chorus of Ain’t Misbehavin’ chasing her off to sleep.
