<p>Reed stumbled to the side, laughing. Their own champagne from earlier added a pleasant freedom of movement he only ever noticed at two drinks. Any more and he became too loose and had a hard time staying upright. Any less and he didn&rsquo;t notice that any freedom was lacking.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Is that so bad?&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;Alternatively: am I not allowed to be a bit maudlin? It&rsquo;s fucking New Year&rsquo;s, Hanne.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Maudlin? Is that even the right word?&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;What? Uh&hellip;&rdquo; He hunted down a dictionary on the exchange, prowled through it. &ldquo;Oh. Saccharine, maybe? I don&rsquo;t know. <a href="Maudlin.html">Maudlin</a> still kind of works, doesn&rsquo;t it?&rdquo;</p>

<p>She titled her head at him.</p>
<p>&ldquo;&rdquo;Extremely sentimental,&rdquo; it says. Pretty sure that fits.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Hanne rolled her eyes, grinning. &ldquo;Okay, yeah, that fits you to a tee.&rdquo;</p>

<p>&ldquo;Well, I imagine the same is true for anyone with lots of memory inside them. If there&rsquo;s no one to merge down into, it just looks like&hellip;like&hellip;&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Like death,&rdquo; Dry Grass said darkly. &ldquo;It looks like death. You could not quit because, to the System, you and all of your memories would die. That is what it felt like, is it not? It felt like you could not possibly quit without pushing the weight of the world uphill?&rdquo;</p>
<p>Reed frowned. &ldquo;Perhaps not all that, but it certainly felt like I was trying to push against something really hard. It didn&rsquo;t feel like it was impossible like anything else the System would prohibit, it just felt like I was being forced away from that option.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Like death,&rdquo; she muttered again. &ldquo;Marsh is not on the System, then, no.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;So is he&hellip;is Marsh dead?&rdquo; Pierre whispered. Vos towered over him &mdash; over all of them, really &mdash; and had always seemed as though she could weather a storm better than any stone, but now, both looked suddenly frail, fragile in the face of the loss they were all talking around</p>
<p>&ldquo;Like death,&rdquo; she muttered again. Vos began to cry &ldquo;Marsh is not on the System, then, no.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;So is he&hellip;is Marsh dead?&rdquo; Pierre whispered, his own voice clouded by tears. Vos towered over him &mdash; over all of them, really &mdash; and had always seemed as though she could weather a storm better than any stone, but now, both looked suddenly frail, fragile in the face of the loss they were all talking around.</p>
<p>&ldquo;He&rsquo;s not on the System,&rdquo; Reed and Dry Grass echoed in unison.</p>
<p>&ldquo;How can you be sure, though?&rdquo; Hanne asked. &ldquo;You can&rsquo;t merge down, sure, and you can&rsquo;t ping, but could he just be in some locked down sim or a privacy cone or something? Can those even block merges?&rdquo;</p>
<p>Lily shook her head. &ldquo;Not that I know of, no. I don&rsquo;t think anything blocks a merge.&rdquo;</p>

<p>&ldquo;Well, is there a way to find out what happened?&rdquo;</p>
<p>She frowned down to her feet as she thought. &ldquo;It used to be that there rotated audit logs for events like forking and quitting. I do not know if those are kept any longer, though, given how large they would get in a very short amount of time. Perhaps?&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Well, how do we check those?&rdquo; Rush said, speaking up for the first time since that initial clamor of voices.</p>
<p>Dry Grass spread her hands helplessly. &ldquo;I do not know. Again, it has been two centuries since I worked as a System tech. The technology has changed much. I would need time to remember. Time to research.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Dry Grass spread her hands helplessly. &ldquo;I do not know. Again, it has been two centuries since I worked as a System tech. The technology has changed much. I would need access. I would need time to remember. Time to research.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Do we even have time?&rdquo; Lily growled at her, frustration apparently winning out over panic. Cress and Tule both gave her a sharp glance.</p>
<p>&ldquo;I do not know. I am sorry,&rdquo; Dry Grass said, bowing. &ldquo;I will fork and read up as fast as I can. May I remain here?&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Please,&rdquo; Cress and Tule said in unison. The rest of the clade along with Marsh&rsquo;s partners all nodded. Lily did not. Hanne only frowned.</p>
<p>00:15</p>
<p>Dry Grass bowed once more, forked, and the fork stepped from the sim to, ey supposed, go lose herself in the perisystem architecture, hunting down what information she could. They could only hope that she still had the permissions to find what she needed.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Hey, uh,&rdquo; Sedge said into the uncomfortable silence that fell once more. &ldquo;Has anyone checked the time?&rdquo;</p>
<p>Everyone tilted their heads almost in unison. It was more a habit than anything, not a required motion, but the habit that Marsh had formed so many years ago had stuck with all of the Marshans throughout their own lives.</p>
