Better still, to hurry back to his quarters and listen to it in private. To listen to it again and again. Eleven years, and everything he knew—or thought he knew—upended in 137 seconds of audio. It shocked him, and now that he’d heard it, he wanted to listen again, to hear the words of that strange dialect translated by the computer, the contact with outsiders. With the unknown.

Not even Hillary Koh?” “No, sir. She provided the code, and heard a few snippets, but the computer was churning away to get the whole text, and Koh is off shift now. Probably asleep.” “What snippets, exactly?” Li couldn’t help but glance over his shoulder as he asked this, though nobody would have possibly followed them into the uncontrolled climate here in the bowels of the water processing system.
