Ada let the excitement of the day subside. Lying on her bed, her LE terminal within reach.
"LE, I want to learn the Stellar Language."
"I cannot help you, Ada. The Stellar Language is not documented in the LEsphere databases."
"Why not?""In exceptional cases, certain information may be missing from the LEsphere. There are multiple reasons for this. Here are some examples: information deemed dangerous on an individual level, information protected by HS-Xeno treaties, information removed at the request of Transients, or even information that does not exist. The Stellar Language does exist, and it can be learned at a Temple of the Humble Epic of All Life. There are also several human speakers of the language on Booz. Would you like to know more about Booz?"
"No, that's fine. Can you tell me about the civilization that lived on Caliban-1?"
"No civilization has ever inhabited Caliban-1."
"I was told the Stellar Language was created on Caliban."
"The LEsphere's information appears to contradict that claim."
On these topics, the information seemed a bit too brief and mechanical to feel like the true LE… Clearly, Sol and her accomplices were hiding broader secrets from Ada than just the means to escape.
Why?
