“Bren’s aishid was about their own business. Banichi and Algini were downstairs in the Bujavid, in conference with representatives from the Guild on matters which no longer—thank God—involved the paidhi-aiji.

The Guild was in the process of choosing its on-station observation team—and while the paidhi-aiji was interested in the outcome, it was not his choice.
The Guild was consultin...g the few Guild members who had experience in space, both about the physical demands of the flight up, and the nature of life on the station.
