They twisted down corridors until they came to a room separated in the middle by glass. “Master Jiom,” said the woman whom he had contacted before. “I gathered Jesex, but I haven’t sent them out yet, because I was waiting for word from you─” “Yes, yes, Tamare, that was appropriate.” The men stood on the other side of the glass, a row of buttons in front of them. “Meg, I shall grant mercy, but…
