“What makes you think that?”

“They never brought any bodies back. They said they’d dug a mass grave out there, but I don’t believe it for a second. Nobody would leave a hundred bodies out there when they could be recycled. We could never afford it.” Evgen let out a long breath. “And I think, now that the committee is coming after the library…I think something is happening up here. Something big. I think the committee’s afraid that whatever happened with Berols’ Anna’s people will happen here, too.”

“They need the good paper for something.”

“Yes, exactly. It’s for documents and books, after all, for things that mark. That define. And they need lots of it. I’ve never seen anything like it.”

“Can’t you find out?”

“Hardly. I’m not on the committee anymore. But you could. You’ll be able to go through the archives. You’ll be able to find out what they want with all the paper.”

“And if I can find that out…”

“…then we can figure out what they’re planning.”

Evgen looked Vanja in the eye. “And you can help me find information about what happened with Anna’s colony. Because if they succeeded, we have to learn how to do it. So we can do more than just survive. I mean, the way things are now—we’re alive, but what kind of life is it?”

“We speak of new worlds, we speak of new lives, we speak to give ourselves, to become,” Vanja mumbled.

“What’s that?” Evgen said.

“It’s a poem,” Vanja said. “By Berols’ Anna.”

“I’m not familiar with that.”

“It was in a book I found at Ulla’s apartment.”

“Huh,” Evgen said. “I’d like to read that.”

“You would have to speak to Ulla.”

“Who is this Ulla?”

“A retired doctor,” Vanja said. “She says she knew Anna back in the day.”
