<p>“There were eight of us,” Ezekiel said, and something about its voice sounded clearer, more present than it had before. “A council set to guide but not govern. We were to be the interface between our world and the earth. The three from the East, the prophet, the nameless one, the politician, the broken one and her friend.”</p>
|
||||
<p>Ezekiel must be the prophet, and surely Michelle was the broken one. Ey didn’t know the rest of the references, so ey filed the information away until later to look up. Ey felt the need to be completely present for the prophet.</p>

<p>“Guide towards Secession?”</p>

<p>“Not at first. At first, we were to be one people in two forms: those who had life entire on the earth that God set before them, and those who lived beyond death. Those who lived on earth saw the idolatry in the System and with the help of True Name and the Jonas, built up a religion of separation, that we be two people in two forms.”</p>

<p>“True Name?”</p>
|

<p>The prophet turned a weary head towards Codrin. There was definitely a face there, ey saw, though it was dirty and blended seamlessly into the tattered rags that surrounded it. “One of the broken.”</p>
|
||||
<p>Ey closed eir eyes and rifled through the Ode that ey kept near to hand in an exocortex. There were two instances of the phrase; ‘The only time I know my true name is when I dream’, and ‘To know one’s true name is to know god’. Both of them made sense as a possibility, as the first was the first line of that stanza and would have been one of the earliest forks, but the second named god, which fit well with Ezekiel’s role as prophet.</p>

<p>A final rattling laugh, and the arm fumbled to the side where a flat cake had been cooking atop a pile of what looked like smoldering dung. Once more, his voice lost the edge of prophecy and became more cogent. “It’s vile stuff, but I’ll try.”</p>

<p>“Find the rest on my own, yes.”</p>
|

<p>The fox gave a hint of a bow. <em>“Thank you in indulging me in this, Codrin. I cannot be the one to share everything.”</em></p>

<p>“So what was it like before Secession Day?”</p>
|

<p><em>“I do not think that the hoi polloi thought about it all that much. They were concerned about the prospect of others deciding that they did not have rights, to be sure, but it was all very abstract. Even from the point of view of the Council, we could not quite understand what a lack of rights would look like.</em></p>
|

<p><em>“I think that is why secession seemed to come so naturally to us. It took far more effort for those phys-side to comprehend what secession would look like than it did for us. From our point of view, we were separate from the rest of the world, such as it was, in a way that already seemed to preclude citizenship to any other political entity.”</em></p>

<p>“And you — Michelle, that is — were still on the council at that point?”</p>

<p><em>“That is a complicated question.”</em> It poked at the last bit of shake with its spoon. <em>“We shall say yes. Elements of the clade were still on the council at that point.

<p>*”Oh, yes. Jonah is a name that fits his current mode better, I suppose.</p>
