Ask
the
Aperture
Authority
and
they
’
ll
tell
you
that
the
syntax
is
now
fully
understood
.
This
is
true
,
but
only
up
to
a
point
.
After
two
centuries
of
study
,
human
machines
can
now
construct
and
interpret
the
syntax
with
an
acceptably
low
failure
rate
.
Given
a
desired
destination
,
they
can
assemble
a
string
of
runes
that
will
almost
always
be
accepted
by
the
aperture
’
s
own
machinery
.
Furthermore
,
they
can
almost
always
guarantee
that
the
desired
routing
is
the
one
that
the
aperture
machinery
will
provide
.
In
short
,
you
usually
get
where
you
want
to
go
.
Take
a
simple
point
-
to
-
point
transfer
,
like
the
Hauraki
run
.
In
that
case
there
is
no
real
disadvantage
in
using
automatic
syntax
generators
.
But
for
longer
trajectories
—
those
that
may
involve
six
or
seven
transits
between
aperture
hubs
—
machines
lose
the
edge
.
They
find
a
solution
,
but
usually
it
isn
’
t
the
optimum
one
.
That
’
s
where
syntax
runners
come
in
.
People
like
Suzy
have
an
intuitive
grasp
of
syntax
solutions
.
They
dream
in
runes
.
When
they
see
a
poorly
constructed
script
,
they
feel
it
like
toothache
.
It
affronts
them
.
A
good
syntax
runner
can
shave
days
off
a
route
.
For
a
company
like
Ashanti
Industrial
,
that
can
make
a
lot
of
difference
.
But
I
wasn
’
t
a
syntax
runner
.
I
could
tell
when
something
had
gone
wrong
with
the
platelets
,
but
I
had
to
trust
that
Suzy
had
done
her
job
.
I
had
no
other
choice
.
But
I
knew
Suzy
wouldn
’
t
screw
things
up
.
I
twisted
around
and
looked
back
the
other
way
.
Now
that
we
were
in
space
,
the
q
-
planes
had
deployed
.
They
were
swung
out
from
the
hull
on
triple
hundred
-
metre
-
long
jibs
,
like
the
arms
of
a
grapple
.
I
checked
that
they
were
locked
in
their
fully
extended
positions
and
that
the
status
lights
were
all
in
the
green
.
The
jibs
were
Ray
’
s
area
.
He
’
d
been
checking
the
alignment
of
the
ski
-
shaped
q
-
planes
when
I
ordered
him
to
close
up
ship
and
prepare
to
lift
.
I
couldn
’
t
see
any
visible
indication
that
they
were
out
of
alignment
,
but
then
again
it
wouldn
’
t
take
much
to
make
our
trip
home
bumpier
than
usual
.
But
as
I
’
d
told
Ray
,
who
cared
?
The
Blue
Goose
could
take
a
little
tunnel
turbulence
.
It
was
built
to
.
I
checked
the
surge
point
again
.
Only
three
ships
ahead
of
us
.
