<p>Sedge had gone to sleep for a bit, but as she woke up, she caught me up on news from when she&rsquo;d been dozing. The politicians had drafted a letter explaining what had happened on a technological level to post on the largest of the perisystem feeds. Much of it was information that we&rsquo;d gained from the AVEC session with the phys-side techs, explaining that nearly 1% of the System had been wiped out and deemed unrecoverable via phys-side means, that there had been a mass crashing event, that the world was assumed stable and the issue had been patched.</p>
<p>Conspicuously missing was any mention of a CPV attack, any mention that everyone — all 2.3 trillion of us — had crashed, or that messages were being gated and censored. Sedge explained that the last had included some gentle untruths. Rather than this being a political effort, this had been phrased as &ldquo;slowly bringing Lagrange up to full capacity&rdquo;. It wasn&rsquo;t wrong, <em>per se,</em> they really were working on bringing the feeds up to full capacity; it&rsquo;s just that the problem was political rather than technical.</p>
<p>Dry Grass, in our own conversations, explained that there were already rumors flying about, and that these were being subtly steered by Odists, Jonases, Selena, and, to a lesser extent, what she called &lsquo;the opposition party&rsquo;, a group of clades led by Debarre who had settled into an uneasy truce with the other group. Rumors were being nudged away from &ldquo;an attack by the Artemisians&rdquo; and towards &ldquo;solar flares or a power failure&rdquo;.</p>
<p>Rush, meanwhile, had latched onto Serene and talked her into letting ver follow along as she took a tally of all of her sims and those of her friends, seeing what remained and what had been marked as abandoned. While ve had always been one for exploring, seeing ver lock onto an interest this hard was new. Ve admitted quite quickly that it was something of a coping mechanism, something to do that wasn&rsquo;t fret about what had happened to our world.</p>
