%title Nevi'im

In which the Dreamer Module comes to roost and now they've got aliens.

Prophet aspect: Aliens have been at this longer, start giving advice, etc, which influences the direction of the LV society for better or worse

## Rough outline

* Locations/characters:
    * Castor:
        * Tycho Brahe - astronomer, in a bit of hot water for answering without consulting, chosen as delegate while handled by True Name's stanza
        * Codrin Balan - clerk for meetings, historian for info coming from remote ship
        * Answers Will Not Help - managing news, info coming from guest/remote ship via Why Ask Questions
        * True Name - is there being a bitch
        * [four aliens] - visitors/emissaries, learning about system, humans, life, etc, got their own subtle machinations going on
    * Remote ship:
        * Tycho Brahe - overwhelmed, gawking tourist, trying to glean as much astronomical knowledge as possible, almost uninterested in aliens qua aliens
        * Codrin Balan - amanuensis/reporter
        * Why Ask Questions - shaping reports back, starts considering shaping their society
        * True Name - is there being a bitch
        * [several aliens] - society is like [something], they are shaped like [something], they are originally from [somewhere] but they were post-biological (beyond implants) before uploading/launching
* General plot:
    * Agree to fall into trajectories that aren't diverging so quickly (using attitude jets and angling solar sail, though Castor is still moving slower and has little chance to catch up/aliens don't want to slow down)
    * Aliens upload into dmz to meet with Tycho, Codrin, Answers Will Not Help, and True Name. Lots of discussions.
    * Tycho, Codrin, Why Ask Questions, and True Name upload into similar DMZ on the remote ship. Lots of discussions
    * Begins with a lot of learning about each other
    * Shifts to gentle nudges this way and that to information sent between the two ships and between DMZ and System as a whole
    * Shifts from there to gentle nudges back and forth on each others' societies
    * Climax??? Maybe there is a subversive faction of both humans and aliens who figures out how to break through the DMZ on each?
    * Denouement: Who's upset? Who's happy? Why? What's next?
* Notes:
    * [ ] Codrin not sure how ey feels about always being the amanuensis for everything big. Not tired, really, but frustrated?
    * [ ] Tangents/interludes throughout about how The History and Mythos affected launch-side society, maybe also sys-side via transmissions
