675 - Most Gracious Emulsifying Flow of Benificence Tower 5 Filter Puller

It was the dark of
the morning, before true sunrise even and beads before rim dawn. The
filter rincer cart creaked along in the aftermath of the rincing of
this sector from drain basin to drain basin, each right by its own
street light. A team of full sized donkeys waited patiently and
stepped forward one step, or back one step, under their teamster's
quiet voiced commands, to adjust the

674 - Never Do God's Work Less Than Perfectly

The Temple choir had
just paused for one of the ten silences during the day, so the only
sound was the whisper of wind through the ceiling vaults. Birds that
found their way in and not yet caught by the priests and novices
chirped distantly above.



... I pray to the
Ten... Help us. Guide us. We are in trouble without You... Minis
had long ceased whispering his prayers out loud, but the

673 - I'm Just Going to DIE

“... as is set out
in the infant Arkan constitution. The Assembly of Arko sits five
times per year, forty days each, so as to allow sufficient time for
the work of the Empire as a whole, and to allow sufficient time for
each member to spend working time in their constituency. This also
a/l/l/o/w/s/ permits the government to not interfere with the Arkan
religious calendar.”

672 - Hit the Cascade!

Inensa
leaned down to adjust her left faib skate. The fans of the Onyxine
Razor Fans sat raptly in the stands, watching the Mahid girls team
warm up. In her whites, with her hair braided tight, she looked like
every other Mahid woman on the team. She was sitting as second back
up, the seventh woman on the team.



She
wasn’t truly up to the skill that the girls had cultivated with all
the focus
