    Summary

    It happened gradually, was the thing. The emperor’s rings were tighter in the evening than the morning; that was normal. And if the fit of the rings changed, little by little, the change wasn’t large enough from day to day for any of them to notice. And then Nemer found himself thinking it was time to contact Dachensol Habrobar about adding some ease to Edrehasivar’s signet ring, and realised all of a sudden that something had changed.

    The signet ring had fit perfectly at first, Nemer was sure of it. Hadn’t it? Or was he remembering that wrong? Maybe it had always been a little snug, maybe they had accepted that it didn’t slide on easily in exchange for the security of knowing it wouldn’t slide off easily.

    ----

    Maia's edocharei notice something is wrong, and do something about it.

    Summary

    Jayce stares open mouthed from the doorway of the lab. A man who looks strikingly like Viktor is standing by Viktor’s desk, looking through Viktor’s notes, muttering softly to himself in Viktor’s voice. He’s even using Viktor’s cane. But it can’t be the real Viktor. He doesn’t wear clothes like that and he doesn’t style his hair in that way and he definitely doesn’t wear jewellery.

    Except, today, apparently, he does.

    -

    Jayce Talis is a champion of lost causes. His latest is getting Viktor to go to a fundraiser with him.

    Summary

    Ilyukhina and Yáo do not die whilst in their medical comas aboard the Hail Mary, but they do not wake either.

    Not until Operation Time Go Fishing.

    This makes all the difference.

     

    or; Ilyukhina hasn't even been awake one hour, and they've already nearly died three times and there's a literal alien rock that's distressed beyond belief.
