Ever since the day your grandparents first said, 'Stop poking me, mammal!' your
kind has struggled toward this day. First, recognition as sentient beings,     
genetically-engineered clones or not...then a few property rights, then        
protections against unlawful exploitation...but this is the big one. If all    
goes well today, you will be the first Saurian-American citizen. Unfortunately,
you're not off to a great start. As you were struggling into your clothes your 
lawyer phoned...                                                               
                                                                               
                                                                               
'Rara, we won't be able to pick you up, there was a water main break, all of   
midtown is flooded. We'll have to take another route down to the Federal       
Building. Can you make it there on your own?'

Your studio apartment is a little small, but the ceiling is nice and high, and 
you haven't that much to store, really, just a few clothes, the computer, the  
bed and the rabbit hutch.
