Chapter 443

This chapter contains a meta-textual note (Note 415*) discussing the discovery of datasets belonging to Jefri's parents and the ship's computer, which appears superior yet nonfunctional. The note also includes editorial comments on narrative pacing, character attitude progression, and stylistic choices such as capitalization and italicization, reflecting on the development of Steel's galactic aims and the temporal flow of scenes.
