Contrary to my author commentary title, I was not going for an Amigara Fault reference with the title of this. It's more in relation to what exactly is happening to those at Site-87— voids of people are being made, and replaced with something that looks like the personnel.

I was originally going to make it more subtle— give clues that these were not the people they claimed to be, but people would have to follow S & C Plastics really closely— dare I say, borderline religiously —to get the clues that the Contradictions were not who they claimed they were.

The next couple of days may have two tales a day uploaded— I need to do a bit of catch-up.

Good call, and thank you. I've read about half of the stories in the canon at this point, and most of your work, but I was literally thinking while reading this that I should make a cheat sheet with all the characters names, positions, and relationships. This is a great ensemble cast, but its a lot to remember when you only read a few stories a month over coffee. Also doesn't help that I remember faces better than names… if I make a cheat sheet for myself maybe I should also pick some headshots for them.

As if my head weren't spinning already.

The way the ideas are communicated through a mimesis of dialogue and description, with a minimum of exposition or narrative, is extremely satisfying.
