Nole's chair

First week they sat me opposite the wall of screens and called it public relations, which is a polite word for making the panic sound like a plan. Elias wants to promise the colonies they will be fine. I walk it back before the sentence leaves the building. Darla's manifests and Siza's checkpoints are the weather. I am the forecast they actually air.

Nole Alset does not tell me what to write in here. He tells me what not to put on the feed. Different jobs. Nelson still does not trust the mainframe. Yang pretends not to hear him. I write all of that down and none of it goes in a briefing.
