 <li>How are you all taking to time skew? I&rsquo;d like to know more specifics of the mechanics and social implications so that I can understand Iska&rsquo;s reticence better.</li>
 <li>The Artemisians ask for regular breaks, where they always retreat back to their rest area. Probably five minutes every half hour. When asked, Turun Ko said, &ldquo;Consensus synchronization, planning-strategizing responses,&rdquo; by which I infer that they are used to being able to step aside for conversations to ensure they are all on the same page. Does that hold true there? TN is currently instructing them on the use of cones of silence to see if that helps.</li>
 <li>How are you liking it? Other than the inability to fork, I&rsquo;m taken by the relatively prosaic nature of the talks, incomprehensibility aside. Do you like it there?</li>
+<li>What do you think, are we just dreaming this all up?</li>

 <p>In terms of knowledge share, you&rsquo;re spot on in much of what you bring up. The firstracers are hard to read, as you say, though you can add &lsquo;rocking head side to side = amusement&rsquo; to your list. You don&rsquo;t mention much about Iska, but they&rsquo;re really quite nice after one gets past the clipped nature of their speech. I like them plenty. I&rsquo;ve already spoken about Stolon.</p>
 <p>Artante is curious. Her mannerisms are incredibly familiar, which I originally chalked up to the similarity in species, but it&rsquo;s come to light during discussions that she has picked up an obsession with the media that was embedded in the Dreamer Module broadcast. She&rsquo;s watched all of the videos several times over (more than seventy hours worth!) and listened to all of the audio enough to know how things sound. (Iska&rsquo;s speech is clipped, I&rsquo;ve mentioned, and occasionally misses intonation around questions/commas <em>qua</em> pauses/etc., and the firstracers&rsquo; melodious speech often sounds more like singing than speaking.) She and Sarah have had much to talk about, though both leaders nudge them often back to sociology and psychology as it relates to political systems, rather than therapeutic applications of forking or whatever. We&rsquo;ll have to ask them how she got that video within a system after this is over. 230+ years and you&rsquo;d think they would&rsquo;ve figured that out on our end by now. Ah well, engineers and their priorities.</p>
 <p>TN here struggles with the 1racers lack of expression, though I had been chalking much of that up to her struggles with skew until you mentioned it. There have been a few misses in the conversation, where the two leaders will wind down a conversational blind alley and have to back up to the point where they turned the wrong corner. So patient is Turun Ka that this has been all the more frustrating for us, as it&rsquo;s difficult to tear down the assumptions that we&rsquo;ve built up in the interim. Now that I say that, though, perhaps it is also frustrating for it, too, we just can&rsquo;t tell.</p>
+<p>Are we dreaming it? Given how dreadfully immediate everything has felt, if we are, it is closer to a nightmare than a dream. Given what is happening with the Odists, I&rsquo;ll stick with TN&rsquo;s original assessment: the chance is small, but it isn&rsquo;t zero.</p>
 <p>Anyway, I should head back to common time and catch up with Sarah before we head back to it. I want to make sure we talk more about the reasons why they picked &lsquo;recorder&rsquo; as a required profession for this meeting. If it&rsquo;s about telling stories, I&rsquo;m all for it.</p>

 <p>Codrin#Assist, pass on my love. Can you also check my work with Dear? I think I remember that Why Ask Questions Here At The End Of All Things was initially forked to shape sentiment sys-side during Secession, and that Why Ask Questions When The Answers Will Not Help was forked to shape sentiment outside the System. Is this correct? I&rsquo;ve only met the two of them recently, so I&rsquo;m unsure how that plays out in their social interactions.</p>
