Move 23 Recap

Ashari, Iawa, Sasha, Sulen, and Mikodez; messages with Kaliyan

Sulen trusses Mikodez more thoroughly, using the restraints in their pocket, and asks what room to hold him in. Sasha says that leaving him in the room that used to be hers is fine. The group discusses what to do about the water on the floor, and whether locking him in the bathroom is an option. Sulen is concerned that Mikodez might destroy the bathroom, and says, "I suppose if you restore the bed I can secure him to it until we're able to set up a more humane and secure containment." Sasha is uneasy; Sulen suggests that later they and Sasha can design a more secure holding cell together thinking, optimistically, "a shared task might create some much needed camaraderie." They ask Ashari how close the ship is to "takeoff". Ashari consults with Kaliyan and instructs her to leave the station.

Ashari, Iawa, Sasha, and Sulen leave the room. In the corridor, Sasha tells the others that she looked up the meaning of Crowned with Eyes: "The grid says in the future it belonged to a notorious murderer, Shuos Jedao. The Shuos usually just dispose of cadets who have it. I guess dumping him on us was the next best thing."
