<p>True Name wavered, reaching out a hand to grip at Tycho&rsquo;s sleeve. She remained stubbornly skunk, clinging to that appearance of being in control. &ldquo;Thank you, Turun Ka,&rdquo; she said, words coming out slowly, spoken through clenched teeth. &ldquo;Our apologies.&rdquo;</p>
<p>The firstracer bowed, tucking its chin close to its chest. &ldquo;There is no need to apologize. Allowances are granted to those who arrive from new worlds. Iska will accompany you to discuss further accommodations.&rdquo; It turned to face the rest of the emissaries. &ldquo;You all may rest and acclimatize in the rest area we have provided for you. We welcome you.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Artante Diria bowed at the waist, a gesture so easy and recognizable that Codrin, Tycho, and Sarah all reciprocated more out of habit than anything. </p>
<p>&ldquo;Welcome. You may call me Artante. This way, please,&rdquo; she said, gesturing with a hand.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Welcome. You may call me representative Artante Diria. This way, please,&rdquo; she said, gesturing with a hand.</p>
<p>Codrin hesitated, watching as something happened to bring Why Ask Questions back into sync with common time. Her shout completed and then turned into a low moan as she crumpled to the ground, retching. For the first time since ey&rsquo;d met Michelle nearly four decades ago, ey watched the dueling identities of a mind split. Skunk and human battled battled for primacy even as True Name helped her cocladist to her feet.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Where are they taking them?&rdquo; ey asked once ey&rsquo;d caught up with Artante and the other emissaries.</p>
<p>&ldquo;There are several unison rooms available in the compound. They will be given one as quarters.&rdquo;</p>

<p>He looked back toward the door, worry painted on his face, and nodded. &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t think that was Why Ask Questions. That was Answers Will Not Help.&rdquo;</p>

<p>&ldquo;<em>Nu.</em> There are analogous-similar topics. Psychosis and time-sickness have been seen-observed in the past. This is why quitting-exiting-death are prevented-illegal in the conference and rest areas. That representative Answers Will Not Help quit-exited-died is upsetting-distressing-concerning. Representative Iska has undertaken the task of exploring-examining the event.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Right. I&rsquo;m sure True Name and Turun Ka are discussing this, too.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Artante shook her head. &ldquo;They are having a different discussion. It is not the time for them to have the conversation of steps and checklists.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Sarah frowned. &ldquo;Should we not tell her about this discussion?&rdquo;</p>
<p>Sarah frowned. &ldquo;Should we tell her about this discussion?&rdquo;</p>
<p>After a hesitation, the fourtracer replied, &ldquo;There are steps on the checklist for if you do and if you do not.&rdquo;</p>
<p><em>Sounds like a no, then,</em> Codrin thought, working to maintain a neutral expression. For all their talk about staying away from manipulation and subtlety, there sure seemed to be plenty going around among the Artemisians. It was as Tycho said: they seemed to be working on some higher level, less comprehensible to em as a mere mortal. Ey supposed five thousand years of flying around through space would change how one engages with the world no matter what.</p>
<p>&ldquo;And how about you two?&rdquo; ey said.</p>

<p>&ldquo;<em>Anem,</em>&rdquo; Turun Ko confirmed, and the single word came out nearly a song.</p>
