Is he HAM? Does he call a HAM? A specific person? A company? An automated system? A help desk? Does he call from a cell phone? Landline? Does he sit down to have a cup of coffee at home? At a cafe? Outdoors? In a vehicle? Is he relevantly unhappy before making the call? Or is he neutral? And the call makes him actually happy? Is he happy for himself? Someone else? The future?

[Sarisberie]

Is the sitting down or the coffee relevant? E.g. could he have had tea, wine, water etc? Has he suddenly remembered something? Is there something which requires action? Is it relevant who he rings? HAF HCM etc, relative, work contact? Has this anything to do with money? Relationships?

RECAP: A man works on a ship. One morning, he sits down to have a cup of coffee. It is sunny outside and the sun is shining on him and his seat. The man is relevantly unhappy. He gets up, makes a (somewhat) work-related phone call, and comes back to his coffee. He returns to his coffee and is much happier.

[jondahr]

Is he unhappy because of the sun? Is he too hot? Sweating? Is the phone call related to his unhappiness? Or was that an unrelated event? Even if it was, did it play a part in leading to his happiness? Is it relevant where the seat is (apart from being in the sun)?

[jondahr]

Did he say something on the phone that made it necessary for the ship to change its direction?

[Sarisberie]

Was there an eclipse? Another weather phenomenon?

[doriana_]

********SPOILER********

Logan, a Navy officer, was getting his morning coffee, but his seat in the dining area was in the sunlight. He called the control center and ordered them to adjust the ship's course by a few degrees, moving the sun off of his seat. He then was able to drink his coffee without the sun in his eyes.
