Turner says the hardest adjustment is "getting used to freedom, deciding what I'll do next." Anderson admits, "I've forgotten what it's like to have appointments, to have to be organized." History has flashed along at astonishing speed in their absence, and they must catch up. Sutherland already has a fax machine, which he must learn to operate.
