    Summary

    The governor module rudely reminded me about the pending command. I closed the logs and finally looked at the Target Package.

    The package with my memories. The memories that the rogue me had encrypted and locked before it had been captured by the company. The memories that the company really wanted to get so they could see who was standing behind the rogue me’s actions, and whether or not they had the legal grounds to start a war with Preservation Alliance and Pansystem University of Mihira and New Tideland.

    The memories that the hostiles hoped my organics remembered how to access.

    MB gets captured, loses its memories, gets a new govmod — and still stays a Terrifying Fucking Menace who will and can fuck things up just because it could.

    Also includes a very scared but enthusiastic CSU that got tagged along in this whole mess, and ART who's stressing the shit out while MB gets to have all the fun!

    Summary

    More than eight-hundred thousand girls with the Spark stolen away under Sturmhalten from all across Europa, and not one was a Heterodyne? Pfsshyeaaaah, right, sure.

    And the moon is made of cheese, and all the stars are pickled onions, and you really think that’s how statistics work?

    There’s nothing stopping a Heterodyne from divining the Jägertroth and the Jägerbrau by alternate means, including just making it up. That’s what they did the first time; so doing it again is fine. Which is to say:

    A hearth witch in Europa has a multitude of skills. Physicians are rare and hospitals scarce— but life still needs living. Poultices and medications, liniments and embrocations, bone mending, wound binding, midwifery… Sparks hold the minds of the people, but hearth witches understand the heart; and provide what care is needed.

    What do you need to get rid of wasps?

    Summary

    “But you said you didn’t have a word for – for forcing someone into reproduction?”

    No. Is different, but equivalent violation. Means, to force to sleep.

    Or, Dr. Ryland Grace has yet to confront the choices taken from him. Eridian norms, ironically enough, force the issue.
