This colony was destroyed by "The Enemy." (pg 132) > This is something that I found more or less contradictory. First, the "introduction" to this chapter, unlike the previous, is not signed by Lysos. And they knew that Herlandia was destroyed by the Enemy - what war is that? Would Lysos create a pastoral colony *knowing* that there was this war, and that the Enemy could hurt? It doesn't make sense to me. My notes: p.134: Tizbe is a fake blonde, her natural hair is dark. So she was playing the role of the joke blonde? :-) p.137: the train's last stop for the day in Holly Lock - so, again, the whole chapter lies within one day, the same day of the previous chapter. p.137: a Lerner, described as a burly woman, suntanned to the color of rich copper p.138: Tess Musseli, of the clan that owns the railroad p.138: The Jopland hold has an uplink. What's that? AFAIK, the satellites are passive light beacons for navigation. p.138: The next train departs at 06:02 - so, they have some methods to measure time accurately. Alberto Monteiro
