I was racking my brains trying to remember where that fella had appeared before. Now, what on earth is that thing on his chest? Part of the communications setup? A bubble pipe? Thanks, Liza!

It's lacking insignia but the general form's the same. The hat could easily be a Medawar army hat, I think. It’s lacking insignia but the general form’s the same.

Dunbar gradually came to have Sioux articles of clothing, and his Sioux friends would get some of his Union Army clothes, through trading.)

I finally found my box of "Finders" and looked it up. There are more than one of those Laeske you know. They have their own symbols on bathroom stalls. If they as a species ( the males ) tend to be academic types, there is no reason one wouldn't be a surgeon. I don't think I'd want Rachel as my brain surgeon. Or Hamlette. It is spelled “Laeske”.

Or the lisp is not that of a Lasske, or there's a Lasske at Jack's operation, and one with Glasses, too. (Here a Lasske, there a Lasske, everywhere a Lasske.) My guess was that the one saying that the rambling is a symptom was someone familiar with the operation. Maybe the operation or the anaesthetic makes people ramble. And if Ascians are "people of the book", and their books are in their head, and Jack gets plugged into the Anvard Net, then the Ascian book in Jack's head will be plugged into Anvard. If Anvard has access to Jack's head, then the Ascians lose their privacy, and that will blur the things that make them distinct from Anvard.
