Arc

The prologue

A legless avatar on another season's tenth floor, five seasons still to serve, who bribes Huanxin, is squeezed, and orders Uzzi killed to buy a key (ch. 0).

The mask off

A theatre for a set; the adjutant ask that never comes, because she is sponsoring Nekhebit and going into the dungeon herself (ch. 35, ch. 36). Fifteen minutes off the record with a shot-down probe for cover: Pieter, Armita, the eye of the Bedlam Bride, the confession form, the legs never fixed, a trust for Mordecai, a plan to die killing Huanxin, and the elements the crawl exists to mine (ch. 37). 'See you on the inside, Carl.'
