Blanchard's position in the vehicle was directly in front of Chase, but slightly farther forward than Freid's. He sat on a small platform raised a step above the main floor of the cabin. His own light-acceleration couch reclined even further than Chase's or Freid's, giving him enough clearance for the suite of video and data display monitors in front of him. They were there for emergencies, as was a similar set near Freid.
