ソフィー - "ジュビリー"

Kurultai record, day 620. Sophie Boucher entering. Anita Gottschall and five others left Habitat in protest of my decision to end medical treatment for the sick. They call themselves the 'Jubilee'. They are going to move back to Camp One for now.

Anita claims her group can live in the open sea. She believes the planet is trying to give us what we need to survive through the angel combs.

I insisted on giving them physicals. They are lucid and rational—no worse off than the rest of us. I can't prove that they are leaving *because* of Masefield. I can't convince Anita that she is in the thrall of a virus that compels her to the tree, like a rat whose parasites drive it into the cat's jaws.

I asked NoA not to reset them when they die, but I suspect it will anyway. Everyone will blame me. Well, so be it.

I must ask Nahema what will happen to the ecosystem if the Jubilee group eats everything.

Damn it. Damn it, damn it, damn it. Damn!
