<p>“It will require a bit of fudging, at least for myself, as too how many instances actually exist for the clade. I believe that it would reflect poorly on us to say that we were initially ten, and then for someone to dig up that I had already forked three or four times less than a year after Michelle’s decision.”</p>
|
||||
<p>His laugh was kind and relieved. “Oh, good. I am glad that I am not the only one.”</p>
|
||||
<p>“Not by a long shot,” True Name said. “It seemed like a good thing downplay.”</p>
|
||||
<p>“Yes, it is, come to think of it. There are enough concerns</p>
|
||||
<p>“Yes, it is, come to think of it. There are enough concerns about capacity as is. It might seem as though we were already aiming to test that so early on.”</p>
|
||||
<p>“Mmhm. The second thing that I was thinking was more of a question for you.”</p>
|
||||
<p>Life Breeds Life nodded.</p>
|
||||
<p>“How far in the future do you think we should be considering these changes?”</p>
|
||||
<p>“Centuries.” The answer was immediate.</p>
|
||||
<p>True Name frowned. “Really?”</p>
|
||||
<p>“Yes. There are some that we can do right away, but those steps are more in Praiseworthy’s court: downplay the number of instances, minimizing our perceived role on the Council, et cetera. The aspects that are in my jurisdiction, however, are ones that will take years and decades to form. Histories written after the fact bear the weight of having undergone analysis, the shifting of public knowledge — at least, what they think they know — takes place over months and years. Time is on our side, though, as you well know.”</p>
|
||||
<p>She nodded.</p>
|
||||
<p>“That is not to say that I will not start right away, of course,” he said, laughing.</p>
|
||||
<p>“Oh, I do not doubt you will.” She grinned. “What were your thoughts, though? You mentioned having some changes that you would like addressed as well.”</p>
|
||||
<p>“Yes. I would like to eventually downplay the role of the Council of Eight in history to the point where those sys-side simply think of those who helped out in the early days as founders.”</p>
|
||||
<p>True Name stopped in the aisle, letting Life Breeds Life step ahead and turn to face her. “You would like individuals to forget that there was a council?”</p>
|
||||
<p>“It is a way to build a mythos and identity, yes. It allows us to use the words ‘freedom’ and ‘secession’ and so on in a collective sense, as though these were the decisions of all, rather than a few. It will instill a sense of patriotism, if one could call it such a thing, for being sys-side, which will in turn reduce the connections that many feel to phys-side.” He smiled, tugging a book from the shelf at random and flipping through the pages. “This will not happen for this generation. Nor, likely the next. The goal for future generations, though is to ensure that they feel that the System is a place to live rather than a place where they wound up, or a place that they uploaded to simply because it was convenient or necessary, or even a place that they uploaded to simply for the way life works here, whether it be immortality or forking.”</p>
|
||||
<p>The skunk watched the pages flip beneath Life Breeds Life’s fingers and thought for a solid minute.</p>
|
||||
<p>Eventually she nodded, saying, “That makes sense, yes. If the concept of the Council disappears into foggy memories and untrustworthy histories, then any attempts to lead again will seem out of place, too. It will give Jonas and I more latitude to continue working long term.”</p>
|
||||
<p>“Precisely.” He grinned and replaced the book on the shelf. “Down the line, too, I am considering suggesting that we say that we uploaded after Secession. Say in the thirties. Not far enough to be an obvious lie, but enough distance from it to give us the space to act as we must now so that we can act as we will later.”</p>
|
||||
<p>True Name felt the smile grow on her face, earnest and excited. “Excellent. Excellent thinking. Keep me up to date as you go, though I do not expect the updates to come all that quickly.”</p>
|
||||
<p>Life Breeds Life laughed. “Of course not. We have plenty of time.”</p>
