bova checking out his room
The Boys' Bunkroom is where Harlan, Bova, and Radu sleep. It is a circular room with softly lit floors that provide a majority of the room's illumination. Large yellow spheres embedded in certain panels of the room's walls provide additional lighting. The beds are flat, and can slide into large triangular compartments inside the walls to save on space, but all of the boys sleep with their beds not shut into these compartments. The bedding is red with blue cylindrical pillows attached to the head of the bed. There are drawers lining most, if not all, of the wall panels. The center of the room has short stylish tables. Known as "The Pit" or "The Forbidden Zone," it is distinguished from the Girls' Bunkroom by its more disheveled appearance. Clothes are strewn around, and beds are rarely made. Goddard has been heard to comment that it looks like a firefight with the Spung has just happened there.
The Boys Bunkroom can be accessed by the girls as well as the teachers. In "A Star is Boring," Rosie talks to Bova in the Boys Bunkroom as he plans to connect to the Space Net and find someone to speak to. In "It's My Birthday, Too (Yeah!)", Miss Davenport enters the Boys Bunkroom upon hearing a crash that, we learn, was caused by the "rock" (later revealed to be an egg) Bova snuck aboard the Christa from Cignus 12.
