"How do you get better at making people? I don't think I know that."

"Oh, there are books on it, if you weren't made knowing or if there's been new advances in the state of the art."

He nods. "Thank you. I really don't want to make what happened to me happen to someone else." He cocks his head. "Even if the head injury part is avoidable."

"Certainly don't make anyone yourself until you've learned all about it and found out what's needful and gotten authorization," she says. "Lots of people never make anyone, it's fine."

"Authorization?"

"This polity requires a government OK before you can make people. You have to pass a test on people creation in general and give an outline of who you're going to make and why."

"Oh. How many rounds are in this polity?"

"Eleven!" she smiles.

He smiles back and nods. "I think that's a good way for a polity to be."

"Oh, good," she says. "Here, have some breakfast." It's a stuffed flatbread.

He eats the stuffed flatbread. Mm, carbs and filling. 

"Thank you. I think I'm going to try to get a job on a sail." 

"The docking tower's easy to see from here, can't miss it!"

"Thank you!" he says, and leaves. 

He strolls away from the doctor's office in the direction of the docking tower, and when he's out of sight of the office he starts looking for a discreet cranny to duck into. 

The town is not very closely spaced; he can go between houses but it's not exactly an alley. There are shrubs he could hide behind.

He hides behind a shrub when no one is looking. Then he turns invisible and strolls out from behind the shrub. He leans against a wall somewhere he won't leave footprints or get bumped into anytime soon and gazes up at the rounds in the sky, magically casting his vision to get a look at their surfaces. 

The nearest round visible from here at this time of day might be the one with the trees that the doctor mentioned; it's pretty foresty, with a lake visible. The next nearest ones look like another farm round, and one with a mix of towns and farms like it's a farm round that's getting built up over time.

Can he find any that are completely uninhabited?

Nope!

He teleports to a part of the tree one that's already been mostly deforested and doesn't have any people around right now. 

Can he see New Riverround from here? 

That one might be New Riverround, not quite in eclipse past Springround.

He teleports to a visible rooftop on the round that might be New Riverround and looks around. 

It's a city. No very tall buildings, probably so you don't run out of gravity in your attic. It's busy and dense, though there are parks between sections and plenty of trees lining the streets. People have bicycles.

Alright. 

He carefully defines book in his mind, then pings for the five highest concentrations of them on the round. 

There and there and there and there and there. In that order.

He teleports to the first one, still invisible.
