Oh, that's an interesting little something. Red's "get out of Traverson" comment is I think the first one she's just tossed out there without retyping.

I think that up until now the Camerata were targeting people who could plausibly be absent. A master illusionist, a hard-headed reporter, a speed-junkie driver, a cop three days from retirement, a gallery owner who blew up at critics at the opening.

I don't think Red fits that profile, though. Maybe it's the start of phase 2?

The Process is Cloudbank's maintenance routines, except made real. We've seen them at work. Creeps constructing things, Snapshots being RSS feeds of Red's face, that big auditorium full of Cluckers "scouting" the place for all the people who had seats in the telepresence section.

Royce says as much, and while he's rambling a bit I tend to trust his judgement.

Another question is, what is "The Country"? "We All Become" mentions it, and people mention it like some kind of afterlife, where the dead go. Can you decide to go there, or is "decided to go to the Country" a euphemism for suicide?

Regardless, we seem to be in a grassy field with a cheery red barn right about now.

Royce looks like a young man but he just sounds so... old and tired. I really like that. He almost seems inhuman.
