"SAO: SUMA ASKS OF COERCION…"
Suma: Yeah she did ask about this, since she saw that happen before, during the times she was stalking.
"SAO: THIS DANCE. LIKE UNTO OLD TONGUE…"
"SAO: A BASTARD FORM. BUT EFFECTIVE."
Storm: So imitation OT.
"SAO: COMMAND WORDS…"
"SAO: HAZARD FOR THE UNPREPARED."
Storm: So why doesn’t the dance affect the Stalker?
"SAO: TO COERCE. TO FORCE INTO AN ACT."
Suma: But yeah... Storm is right. So why does it not affect the Stalkers?
"SAO: THE CHILDREN ARE IMMUNE, YES…"
"SAO: WE SUSPECT THE DEAD GOD’S INFLUENCE"
Suma: (thought Sammy was wondering who the dead god is) The Dancer… The Dead God.
"SAO: YES. SOME FINAL MISGUIDED WARD."
Storm: Why would it be misguided though?
"SAO: THE DEAD GOD WAS THE ENEMY"
Storm: But I mean, if it helps. You guys kinda protect the...er or you claim you want to protect the kids, right? Don’t want any more casualties in town?
"SAO: PROTECT FROM YOURSELVES. YES."
Storm: Granted… I mean we are not the ones kinda getting ourselves killed right now.
Storm: Do have to wonder what the whole...idea of saying “Oh you know protecting the kids from themselves”. I know that some Watchers are ordered to some pretty bad things to kids even sometimes… you know… order the Angel to kill them. But if you got orders to kill Suma would you?
"SAO: SUMA WOULD NEVER BETRAY THE WHOLE"
Storm: But what if...that something you have to consider? What if she did something or the Voice deemed that they want her eliminated? What if it would be something the Voice said you wouldn’t agree with?
"SAO: IF SHE PUTS HERSELF ABOVE REDACRE…"
"SAO: HER FLESH IS FORFEIT. AS ARE WE ALL."
Storm: But would you be okay with that? Because everything she says to me, you sound like you are really considerate and caring.
"SAO: TO WASTE A HOST IS A TRAGEDY."
"SAO: ESPECIALLY ONE WITH SUCH APTITUDE"
Storm: So..you would go through, if you were given the orders?
"SAO: THE TOWN JUDGES. NO ORDERS EXIST."
Storm: So you wouldn’t mourn or anything like that?
"SAO: IF SUMA DID NOT BETRAY…"
"SAO: SHE LIVES ON IN THE SONG. NO LOSS."
Storm: But I mean...does she get a choice in the matter?
"SAO: SUMA SPEAKS TO US IN PRIVATE"
"SAO: IF A HOST BETRAYS THE SLEEPING GOD"
"SAO: WHAT IS THERE TO MOURN?"
Suma: But yeah...Speak-As-One the gestures they want to show you is Claim-From-You, like she has said earlier...So first we have Claim/Cut/Blade..So..on go…
(Suma and Sammy perform Claim-From-You while Suma names each gesture separately)(Claim/Clut/Blade - Fear/Flee/From - You/To/Thy)
"SAO: SOME REMNANT. A STRANGE GIFT."
"SAO: WE WILL REPORT IT TO THE CHORDIST."
Storm: Was it part of her name?
"SAO: IT MUST HAVE BEEN A SMALL PART. YES."
"SAO: WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR THIS INTELLIGENCE"
"SAO: OUR REPORT IS NOW EXPECTED"
(Suma asked something in private)
"SAO: SUMA MAY ASK. BE BRIEF."
"SAO: IT IS DANGEROUS TO MEET THAT THING"
(reference to Wayka)
"SAO: BUT SUMA IS NOT A FOOL"
"SAO: SOME DISCRETION IS HERS TO EMPLOY"
"SAO: REMAIN VIGILANT. WE SPEAK AS ONE"
