Move 21 Recap

Iawa and Sasha enter the room where Mikodez is being held; the door disappears behind them. Mikodez wakes up and asks, "Are we finally off the station?" Sasha replies, "Not yet. Ashari's monitoring the situation. I get to explain the ways you have fucked up." She lists seven crimes. The sixth is "Imsayed met you, and explained that he's your little brother. You panicked and attacked him"; the seventh is that he failed to report that Imsayed had a potentially deadly concussion. Sasha asks, "Either you are criminally negligent, or you meant to kill him. Which one is it?" Mikodez says he wouldn't attack his younger siblings, and asks, "What can I fix? I won't let the mothling go back for experiments." He adds that Remi's journals didn't use the high calendar: "That's not something that anyone should have in their possession, ever." Sasha is unimpressed, and tells the grid to begin making furniture in the room disappear. She asks again, "Why did you hide the fact that Imsayed was hurt?" Mikodez ignores the question, asking, "Did everyone's first missions include complimentary implausible clone twins, or am I just special?" Sasha answers, "I got an entire fucking ship full of people who think I'm lawful property. At least Strashik's friendly. Or did you think he was going to steal your identity, somehow? Is that why you tried to kill him?"
