"He was busy because his brother who has a sovereign island threatened to kill people who caused him offense and a number of countries demanded Anitam do something about it."

"Okay, that I believe."

"Yep." Sigh.

"Is this busy like 'scapegoat' or busy like 'putting out fires'?"

" - I mean, it seems like Telkam learned summoning because someone let him have access to Milliways despite his possessing poor judgment and being grossly irresponsible with that information."

"Did that secretly constitute an answer to my question?"

"I think your phrasing was very loaded."

"That definitely didn't constitute an answer to my question."

"As part of many different putting-out-fires steps taken in the aftermath of the whole mess Anitam made some arrests of people who were responsible for Telkam's getting access to summoning."

"Am I in trouble for designing him the island?"

"Of course not."

"Just checking."

"We don't expect everyone in the universe to keep track of what'll be destabilizing in Amentan politics and accommodate it, but Amentans are responsible for that."

Sigh.

"We haven't executed them."

"Good, I don't have a way to fix that yet."

" - you're not really supposed to fix it."

"I thought it wasn't my job to accommodate Amentan politics."

Sigh. 

"Is he liable to remain un-executed indefinitely?"

"I'm not sure. He's got leverage on everybody but aliens sort of change a lot of the landscape there - might depend what his brother does but his brother is very, ah, erratic - and I'm not clear on the extent to which they arrested them all to reassure everyone that Telkam doesn't have the ability to act with impunity and to what extent they arrested them because they were willfully ignoring Anitami interests to advance alien ones."

Nod.

"Anything else I can answer for you?"

"I think that'll do."

"All right! You have my contact information." Off she goes.

Saniah Asa works on a proposal for review of cases with open circles (if the subscriber or the victim of the crime requests it) given that now the victims can testify and deserve to have an avenue to have some say in GCP proceedings. She takes it to Chua.  "I think it's good to have a process, even if it's infrequently used and the most common use case is 'the panel recommends we increase the number of circles, we do that, the victim gets some assurance that their perspective has been heard'."
