[ For a few days now, Kid has been hearing the strangest sound emanating from his Guide: a
distorted snatch of piano music, repeating the same jangle over and over amid static and interference. Almost like the player could only get the short introduction right before needing to start over.
Unfortunately for Kid, the introduction is an uneven number of bars long, some abominable number like 23 which isn't divisible by anything and therefore should have been struck from existence off whatever ancient mathematician thought fit to include it. Since he can't very well go back and change history, Kid had determined that the next best thing is to track down this mystery musician and either teach them to play the piece properly -- or maybe break their fingers. Symmetrically, of course.
Which means he will be searching every room methodically, whether he had permission to enter or not and regardless of whatever the occupants might be doing at that time. And of course, asking people whom he stops: ]
Do you know if there are any pianos on board?
