"
A
move
?
Against
Ortega
?
"
"
Just
so
.
"
Bancroft
settled
back
into
his
seat
.
"
Lieutenant
Ortega
made
her
prejudices
quite
clear
the
moment
she
stepped
into
this
house
.
She
was
unhelpful
in
the
extreme
.
She
lacked
respect
.
It
was
something
that
I
remembered
,
an
account
to
be
adjusted
.
When
the
shortlist
Oumou
provided
me
with
included
Elias
Ryker
s
sleeve
,
and
listed
Ortega
as
paying
the
tank
mortgage
,
I
saw
the
move
as
almost
karmic
.
It
dictated
itself
.
"
"
A
little
childish
for
someone
your
age
,
don
t
you
think
?

Bancroft
inclined
his
head
.
"
Perhaps
.
But
then
,
do
you
recall
a
General
Maclntyre
of
Envoy
Command
,
resident
of
Harlan
s
World
,
who
was
found
gutted
and
decapitated
in
his
private
jet
a
year
after
the
Innenin
massacre
?
"
"
Vaguely
.
"
I
sat
,
cold
,
remembering
.
But
if
Bancroft
could
play
the
control
game
,
so
could
I
.
"
Vaguely
?
"
Bancroft
raised
an
eyebrow
.
"
I
d
have
thought
a
veteran
of
Innenin
could
scarcely
fail
to
recall
the
death
of
the
commander
who
presided
over
the
whole
debacle
,
the
man
many
claim
was
actually
guilty
by
negligence
of
all
those
Real
Deaths
.
"
"
Maclntyre
was
exonerated
of
all
blame
by
the
Protectorate
Court
of
Inquiry
,
"
I
said
quietly
.
"
Do
you
have
a
point
to
make
?
"

Bancroft
shrugged
.
"
Only
that
it
seems
his
death
was
a
revenge
killing
,
despite
the
verdict
handed
down
by
the
court
,
a
pointless
act
,
in
fact
,
since
it
could
not
bring
back
those
who
died
.
Childishness
is
a
common
enough
sin
amongst
humans
.
Perhaps
we
should
not
be
so
quick
to
judge
.
"
"
Perhaps
not
.
"
I
stood
up
and
went
to
stand
at
the
door
of
the
conservatory
,
looking
out
.
"
Well
,
then
don
t
feel
that
I
m
sitting
in
judgement
,
but
why
exactly
didn
t
you
tell
me
you
spent
so
much
time
in
whorehouses
?
