    Summary

    Kip Mdang returns to Solaara, hardly confident that the Imperial Service will take him back but sure that there is no place for him in the Vangavaye-ve.

    The City of Cities is still expanding from the backwater village it was before the Fall; the work of reconstruction continues but it is no longer a simple crisis. In the Palace the big political beasts are circling for position under the newly awakened Emperor.

    Despondent and determined to bury himself in work, Cliopher finds his former patron disapproving and the new Master of Offices openly hostile. But he is still a fifth degree secretary, and some problems are easier to solve when you feel that you have little left to lose... and don't care which enemies you make along the way.

    Summary

    There were three things the hobbits of the Shire knew for certain:

    The war against weeds in your garden was endless and impossible to win.

    Afternoon tea always tasted better with good company.

    And Mr Bilbo Baggins was a little bit odd.

    Summary

    It feels like you see our culture less and less in the arts, Cousin Faila writes.

    Cliopher writes a fun musical for the kids his cousin teaches. He doesn't expect it to go beyond the school, much less to reach Solaara.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Kip my beloved, your powers of self-deprication and understatement cannot withstand the response to your heartfelt musical. Accept love and appreciation!

    Summary

    [Feedback on APC202ESSAY-DRAFT2-DAEMONS???  By Iris B; comments by PSUMNT Research AI PE92967 “Perihelion”]

    [3] Incorrect. It is true that human/bot constructs do not present external daemons, but they do have robust Rusakov  signatures, enough that without interference they should be able to form an animus construct
       
    >Peri, what were you just saying about making claims with no sufficient literature? I can’t find ANYTHING on this subject. Obviously constructs are intelligent enough to be sentient, but there’s no published sources on their dust signatures. It’s all proprietary bullshit and paywalls [Amusement_sigil_frown]
     
    >Apologies. I was extrapolating from an unpublished dataset. It would be better to remove this section entirely.
       
    >??? Peri where did you even find data on secunit dust signatures??
       
    >Peri where did you get the data.

     

    Or; what it means to have a soul as a horrifying murderbot, even if it's really really inconvenient.
