Well, Desperatio isn't going to like Invidia's heavy handed attempts at manipulation from the grave. But, then again, now the Council believes that they've rooted out all of their moles... Oh, huh, look at this card I just so happen to have in my hand...

I loved them both!

Seriously, though, I like the idea of Fox and Eve being able to come together without Eve being completely off the hook. And Aya's words reflected mine. I feel Fox is more mature then he is given credit for.

And note that Acedia is meant, in some respects, to be a sympathetic character, but she is not free of guilt. She just has the fortune of her apathy leading her to not do all that much wrong herself, and hers is more a crime of in action.

Also, this reminds me of Atka and the Incubators ability:

Modern elevators are strange and complex entities. The ancient electric winch and “maximum-capacity-eight-persons" jobs bear as much relation to a Sirius Cybernetics Corporation Happy Vertical People Transporter as a packet of mixed nuts does to the entire west wing of the Sirian State Mental Hospital.
This is because they operate on the curious principle of “defocused temporal perception.” In other words they have the capacity to see dimly into the immediate future, which enables the elevator to be on the right floor to pick you up even before you knew you wanted it, thus eliminating all the tedious chatting, relaxing and making friends that people were previously forced to do while waiting for elevators.
Not unnaturally, many elevators imbued with intelligence and precognition became terribly frustrated with the mindless business of going up and down, up and down, experimented briefly with the notion of going sideways, as a sort of existential protest, demanded participation in the decision-making process and finally took to squatting in basements sulking.
An impoverished hitchhiker visiting any planets in the Sirius star system these days can pick up easy money working as a counselor for neurotic elevators.

Does liking our own colabs make us shallow and hypocritical?
