<p>Tycho awoke with the idea fully formed within himself.</p>
<p>So sudden was the realization that his immediate instinct was to shove it to the back of his mind and do his level best to forget about it. He didn&rsquo;t want to admit it to True Name, to Sarah or Stolon, and even Codrin, grounding as ey was, seemed to be too real to discuss it with.</p>
<p>He barely even wanted to admit it to himself.</p>

<p>Turun Ka lifted its snout. &ldquo;We have passed the point where conversations must wait. All topics are open. First, however, recorder Codrin Bălan,&rdquo; Turun Ka said, swiping a hand through the air to produce a sheet of paper. &ldquo;Please send this to Castor by the usual mechanism without encryption, after you have all authenticated the message with a personal detail to ensure that this is viewed as a mutual decision. You may send those signatures encrypted.&rdquo;</p>
<p>True Name accepted the sheet, read through, thought for a moment, then scribbled a short note on the bottom. She handed the sheet to Codrin, who did similar.</p>
<p>When it arrived before him, Tycho skimmed through the letter: &ldquo;Both parties&hellip;agreed&hellip;fifthrace&hellip;welcome&hellip;&rdquo; followed by a few blocks of unsettled text that he supposed must be the eyes-only signatures of the Artemisians and the other two emissaries before him.</p>
<p>What could he possibly write that would ensure that Tycho#Artemis knew the letter was verifiable? He looked around at the other emissaries, thought back through the last few weeks, and wrote: &ldquo;Remember what True Name said to you in the field: He may know the law of all things yet be ignorant of how We are working to completion, working on from then till now.&rdquo;</p>

<p>He passed the note on to Sarah, who affixed her signature and handed it back to Codrin. Ey held it briefly, looking to be deep in thought, then nodded. &ldquo;It has been sent, leader Turun Ka.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Tycho,&rdquo; True Name said, loud enough for all to hear. &ldquo;Do you remember the poem I quoted to you the night of first contact?&rdquo;</p>
<p>He nodded.</p>

<p>&ldquo;I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night,&rdquo; he finished, grinning. &ldquo;That was the last thing I said to myself before uploading. It&rsquo;ll be the last thing I&rsquo;ll say before I leave Castor.&rdquo;</p>
