Arc

Thousands of ships early because of Prepotente; the Plenty charging for gates (ch. 21). A secure sponsor conversation begging Carl not to pick Odette, for Mordecai's sake (ch. 21); locked out of her controls (ch. 46, ch. 47); 'Just be careful. Okay?' and, at the door, who is trapped in the system (ch. 49). Residuals: 'I am forbidden from telling you' (ch. 50).
