%title Nevi'im

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

Prophet aspect: Artemisians 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
        * But The Dead Know Nothing - Amanuensis in training via Codrin (small bit of penance for modifying history)
        * Answers Will Not Help - managing news, info coming from guest/remote ship via Why Ask Questions
        * True Name - is here'n'there being a bitch
        * [Five aliens] - visitors/emissaries, learning about system, humans, life, etc, got their own subtle machinations going on
    * Artemis:
        * Tycho Brahe - overwhelmed, gawking tourist, trying to glean as much astronomical knowledge as possible, almost uninterested in Artemisians qua Artemisians
        * Codrin Balan - amanuensis/reporter
        * But The Dead Know Nothing - Amanuensis in training via Codrin
        * Why Ask Questions - shaping reports back, starts considering shaping their society, her and True Name fail
        * True Name - is here'n'there being a bitch
        * [several Artemisians] - society is like comprised of four different species gathered along the way, they are shaped like lizards skiltaire human-ish post-natural taur-types (original species), all went post natural but first went 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/Artemisians don't want to slow down)
    * Decide that same representatives on both 
    * Artemisians upload into dmz to meet with amanuenses, 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? Or perhaps humans are invited to join the other 4 species on the ship, also expand the DMZ (can't/won't change it from one-way, but folks can send forks into it to live, communicate through perisystem border. Tickles Dear because can't merge forks back
    * 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
    * [ ] Maybe Tycho dies, or invests entire in the remote ship, then gets the Sarah Williams quote read at memorial?
    * [ ] Codrin struggles with feeling completely reactive and unable to be proactive. It's not that ey doesn't want to take on the project, but ey feels obligated to; it's not that ey can't decide whether or not to join the Artemis, but that ey can't do so unless Dear and its partner do so first.
    * [ ] Artemisians don't have forking (except for very special cases like representatives), but have time management and reproduction (even between species)
* [ ] Conflict notes:
    * [ ] Should stay away from humans are special thing a la Anathem
    * [ ] Maybe less political machinations, more figuring each other out a la Axiom's End
    * [ ] Conflict is figuring out that manipulation across species lines is, True Name has to give up attempts at such?
