<p>After True Name and Answers Will Not Help tottered off to their rooms, each leaning on the other, Codrin, Sarah, and Tycho sat on a pair of beds, heads down and running in fast time in order to discuss the last segment of conversations.</p> <p>After True Name and Answers Will Not Help tottered off to their rooms, each leaning on the other, Codrin, Sarah, and Tycho sat on a pair of beds, heads down and running in fast time in order to discuss the last segment of conversations.</p>
<p>&ldquo;I wasn&rsquo;t expecting her to be that open about political machinations,&rdquo; Tycho said. &ldquo;I&rsquo;d think she&rsquo;d want to keep it under wraps. If her and Jonas and their friends have been working to shape our past so much, you&rsquo;d think they&rsquo;d want to be a bit more subtle about that.&rdquo;</p> <p>&ldquo;I wasn&rsquo;t expecting her to be that open about political machinations,&rdquo; Tycho said. &ldquo;I&rsquo;d think she&rsquo;d want to keep it under wraps.

<p>Sarah shrugged. &ldquo;Maybe, though it could be many things. Could be that they&rsquo;re aiming to show the whole of us, positives and negatives, as the Artemisians don&rsquo;t have the context of the <em>History</em>. Perhaps she wants to show that we have a society strong enough to handle manipulation without slipping into authoritarianism. The fact that we use language so consciously is probably a sign in our favor, in the end.&rdquo;</p> <p>Sarah shrugged. &ldquo;Maybe, though it could be many things.

<p>&ldquo;Or she could just be slipping,&rdquo; Tycho added. &ldquo;She&rsquo;s hardly winding up in word salad territory, but it&rsquo;s hard to tell how much of that was telling the truth, being a politician, or actually getting into the territory of grandeur.&rdquo;</p> <p>&ldquo;Or she could just be slipping,&rdquo; Tycho added.</p>
<p>&ldquo;She&rsquo;s hardly winding up in word salad territory,&rdquo; she allowed. &ldquo;But it&rsquo;s hard to tell how much of that was telling the truth, being a politician, or actually getting into the territory of grandeur.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;No reason it can&rsquo;t be both, I guess.&rdquo; Codrin sighed, buried eir face in eir hands, and rubbed eir face vigorously. &ldquo;She might be working on some level way above our pay grades and still having a hard time keeping it together.&rdquo;</p> <p>&ldquo;No reason it can&rsquo;t be both, I guess.&rdquo; Codrin sighed, buried eir face in eir hands, and rubbed eir face vigorously. &ldquo;She might be working on some level way above our pay grades and still having a hard time keeping it together.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Tycho frowned as those fears once more floated to the surface. Something was going on in these talks that he simply didn&rsquo;t understand. Things were being said with so many different meanings and the subtext felt completely disconnected from the text.</p> <p>Tycho frowned as those fears once more floated to the surface.
