 <p>There was one other fox, as well. A female fox, similar in many ways to Dear, though with natural coloration rather than the iridescent white fur that Dear maintained. Dear gave her a tight hug and introduced her to Ioan as Serene, the one who had designed the landscape of its property. Ioan liked her at once.</p>
 <p>Michel himself was notably absent, though Dear assured the historian that he was still very much alive. <em>"He said that, if anyone should remain behind, it was him, as he had started this whole damn thing."</em></p>
 <p>Ioan shrugged and nodded. Dear gave a small smile and shrugged as well.</p>
-<p>There were a few tag-alongs, folks immediately identified as out-clade. A few friends, and a few partners, singular and plural. Some who Ioan suspected were like eirself, historians and helpers brought along to witness and record. One of the conservatives (at Ioan's guess, at least) had even brought a reputation analyst along with him, a slight Asian gentleman who introduced himself as Qián Chunyu.</p>

 <p>Qoheleth smiled, and then called out to the group, "Welcome, folks. Good to see, er, most of you again, and I'm sure it'll be pleasant to meet the rest of you later."</p>
 <p>Silence. Part confused, part curious, part angry.</p>
 <p>"I'm Hebel Qoheleth, though some of you remember me as Life Breeds Life, But Death Must Now Be Chosen, of the Ode Clade. For my own reasons, I've chosen to rescind my membership within the Ode clade-" He held up his hands to quell the protests from within the crowd. "I've chosen to rescind my membership within the clade because something is starting to go wrong."</p>

 <p>The silence was intent. Ioan made a note to eirself, <em>Impressive. He has them hooked. All the way. Almost all of them except the conservatives.</em></p>
 <p>"That's why I posted The Name. That's why I gathered you here today. I'm telling you, we need to fix this, and I have some ideas as to how-"</p>
 <p>Ioan missed the cue, if there was one, but with eir eyes locked on the stage, ey didn't miss the action.</p>

 <p>Then he quit.</p>
 <p>Qoheleth had time to let out a soft "hah," sounding bemused, and then began to artifact and jitter on the stage. The death lasted perhaps five seconds, as the old man's internals struggled against the intrusion of the virus, before he crashed, disappearing from sight much as the assassin had.</p>
 <p>By the time Ioan looked around the room, the conservatives had left or quit.</p>

 <p>Dear's partner greeted them at the door, silent. Perhaps Dear had sent ahead a message, for the individual mostly stayed out of the way of the four. They disappeared and returned shortly with mugs of coffee.</p>

 <p>"So," they said, finally. "What happened?"</p>
