07.45 As I leave the ship via the hatch (now a double door of great structural simplicity but extremely complex handling) choose to materialise in a spot where the concentration of individuals is at its densest. Objective: not to attract attention.
08.00 Materialise at the location known as the Diagonal-Paseo de Gracia crossroads. Knocked down by the No.17 bus. Have to recover my head, which has rolled off as a result of collision. Difficult operation due to large number of vehicles.
08.01 Knocked down by an Opel Corsa.
08.02 Knocked down by a delivery van.
08.03 Knocked down by a taxi.
08.04 Recover my head and wash it in a public fountain situated a few metres from collision. Take opportunity to analyse the composition of local water: hydrogen, oxygen, and faecal matter.
