<p>Prophet aspect: Artemisians have been at this longer, start giving advice, etc, which influences the direction of the LV society for better or worse</p>
<li>Tycho Brahe - astronomer, in a bit of hot water for answering without consulting, chosen as delegate while handled by True Name’s stanza</li>
<li>Codrin Balan - clerk for meetings, historian for info coming from remote ship</li>
<li>Tycho Brahe - overwhelmed, gawking tourist, trying to glean as much astronomical knowledge as possible, almost uninterested in Artemisians qua Artemisians</li>
<li>[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</li>
<li>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)</li>
<li>Decide that same representatives on both </li>
<li>Artemisians upload into dmz to meet with amanuenses, Answers Will Not Help, and True Name. Lots of discussions.</li>
<li>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</li>
<liclass="done0"> Codrin not sure how ey feels about always being the amanuensis for everything big. Not tired, really, but frustrated?</li>
<liclass="done0"> Tangents/interludes throughout about how The History and Mythos affected launch-side society, maybe also sys-side via transmissions</li>
<liclass="done0"> 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.</li>
<liclass="done0"> Artemisians don’t have forking (except for very special cases like representatives), but have time management and reproduction (even between species)</li>
</ul>
</li>
<liclass="done0"> Conflict notes:<ul>
<liclass="done0"> Should stay away from humans are special thing a la Anathem</li>
<liclass="done0"> Maybe less political machinations, more figuring each other out a la Axiom’s End</li>
<liclass="done0"> Conflict is figuring out that manipulation across species lines is, True Name has to give up attempts at such?</li>
