“Then it would be a task indeed to bring her back, and inthe end, nothing in it for me … for if she autoforgot, thenshe is a stranger, an alien. Not Maellenkleth. Her body wassweet and full of life, but that which I loved has gone forever.”

“Painful as that is, so it is truth. And now I must ask, who can do a reconstruction in Multispeech, if we bring her? Neither Fellirian nor I have the skill.”

Kris mused over the question, pondering imponderables. “Areconstruction? I don’t know who does them … I can do it, although I never did it before. You can’t practice it, youknow—it’s too dangerous. But I do know how, if only now intheory; it’s rather like the Game, in fact it’s related. But it’stricky … you need two others at minimum to do it. Mael toldme how before she left. It was her last gift to me.”

“As if she knew she might need it. But why that? She wouldhave known if she autoforgot she wouldn’t return. Just the body.”

“I don’t know.”

“But you agree that we have to try to look, and if we findher, bring her back and try to reconstruct something; we owethat to her.”

“I owe her more than that.” “So then, the reconstructors you need. How skilled must they be?““Only one need be skilled, and the other two only obey …are you volunteering?”
