 I see, then. You (you all?) wanted to have this meeting because you feel we share the same path? You feel some kindred with the Friends?

+# Attempt 2
+
+Ioan Balan, despite all attempts to keep emself from sinking into the depths of whatever it was studying, always managed to find himself mired in details ey could not hope to escape. They twined and twisted around eir wrists, tripped em up about the ankles, and tugged em ever deeper into the fractal complications of whatever topic ey decided would be the subject of eir next work.
+
+A recent paper ey had completed on an unnerving socialbreakdown in one of the old clades --- those collection of individuals forked from a single uploaded consciousness --- had garnered em no small amount of notoriety and plenty of credit on the reputation market.
+
+It had also gained em a split of eir own. Dealing with the complex relations of a set of individuals created as clones from a single personality and sensorium had driven them deeper and deeper into the weeds of study. Ey had immersed emself in the problem so thoroughly that the Ioan that came out the other side of the research was no longer the Ioan that had gone in. The change was so great that the fork ey had sent to do the investigation had individuated, had undergone some process of speciation at some subtle level, leaving em unwilling to merge its experiences back with the Ioan prime. It had changed its name and left after sharing its memories, and moved out to live with a member of that 'family', such as it were.
+
+Ey had still not made up eir mind on whether this was a positive or negative experience.
+
+Since the paper had been published and reviewed --- and reviewed and *re-reviewed* --- ey had no shortage of requests for further anthropological work within the system. Ey had grown accustomed to sorting the requests into different bins. Ey had one for requests that were totally out of eir area of expertise (ancient methods of cryptography? In what wild universe would ey be considered any sort of expert on those?), another for serious but truly boring inquiries (yes, you run an algorithmic attempt at solving complex mathematical equations, but young Ioan had failed trigonometry three times over before giving up), and one for serious inquiries worth exploring.
+
+This last was divided into roughly two piles, itself: the first was on topics of religion and the second was everything else. The first pile far and away outsized the second.
+
+Today's inquiry was that of "The Joseph Dyer Friends Meeting".
+
+The name alone was enough to grab Ioan's attention. Was it a meeting of one person's friends? What would they meet about? A fan-club, perhaps? Those still lingered, even in this post-self society.
+
+The note clarified:
+
+> Ioan Balan:
+>
+> My name is Joseph Dyer and I am the...well, the language fails me. Organizer? Sole member? Recorded minister?
+>
+> Either way, I am part of the Joseph Dyer Friends Meeting. This meeting began on the occasion of my upload into the system as one of the first Quakers (or, at least recorded members).
+>
+> You must understand a fact about Quakers: if you are to run a meeting (church, as you might call it), you are going to have committees. That's just a fact of life. Clearness committees to admit new members, committees on faith and worship, etc etc ad nauseum.
+>
+> It is not a requirement, but as someone who spent their embodied life bounded by the constraints of a Quaker meeting, *not* having those things felt like leaving home.
+>
+> To that end, and with the lack of other Quakers uploading, I devised a method for creating a meeting of my own. Given your work on the Ode Clade business (well done, by the way!), I thought you might appreciate my attempt at a meeting of one. I understand that you are a busy individual, but if you are able to, I would love to invite you to a meeting for worship. We will discuss more at the time should you accept.
+>
+> Many thanks,
+>
+> Joseph Dyer (prime)
+
+This was not the first religious movement that Ioan had found or been asked to investigate. As an historian, ey was well acquainted with the unspoken maxim that, should one wish to be at the center of grand changes, whether in society or in thought, one ought to hang around centers of religion. In the past, ey had followed (with a fork, natch) more than one cult in whatever state of formation.
+
+Ah well, it was worth checking out, was it not?
