X marks the spot

Who: Dirk and OPEN
What: Productivity is the enemy of something or other. Map making.
Where: Out and about
When: Day 95

In an effort to get a better idea of the lay of the land, Dirk has made a rough map of the town, complete with all buildings, pathways, and obtrusive foliage. Like most of his projects, however, Dirk's map has quickly transformed into something obtuse and oddly managed. His current project is cameras. If he can mark down where every camera is, he hopes it will reveal where there aren't any cameras.

He's assuming for the moment that all of the buildings are wired, so he's starting outside.

Starting in the early afternoon, Dirk works his way across the town starting near the lighthouse and eventually working his way back through the town. He's trying to be systematic about his recording, but it's hard to be systematic when some of the cameras are so easy to miss. He climbs a few trees with his red pen tucked behind his ear, he peers up into the eaves of buildings, he checks under benches and around shrubbery, and he's filling up his map with small red triangles.

"So if you are uncertain, you have a partner whom you ask questions of to clarify the situation. This is what you want Ned for."

It sounds... very reasonable, put like that, and Daneel can't deny that some good might be done this way.

"I was unaware that quantum mechanics had applications like this, but if Ned wishes to help you, then he should." He's giving his blessing, Dirk. "I only ask that you keep him safe, as he has become very important to me."
