Or they weren't able to for some reason.

And Lachesis isn't in the Porter anymore. Hasn't been for a while, I'm afraid- she only lingered long enough to make a few alterations. But if they want to gain control of imPorts- and deny America access to them, destroying or capturing the Porter would make sense. [Privately, Sabriel thinks of the AI imPorts she's met, and decides Lucifer is full of it. Magicman is definitely alive.]

We can't give it that, but we can give it conversation, stimulation... and fifty viewpoints that differ drastically from its creators.

Silly, Sabriel. What do you call it when you say you'll do something and then never follow through?

[ He's not outright going to say "Lie to it" because the machine is listening to everything, but it's what he's implying. Lie to it. Offer it the moon. It is useful to know that fact, though, as Lucifer has been living all this time under the belief that Lachesis and the Porter are the same thing. The more you know. ]

Is the universal idea that we can talk our way out of this prevalent among all of you on the outside? I rather prefer the more aggressive stance, personally.

No- a rescue attempt is being planned, but right now we don't have any idea where you are- and any failed attempt will make the next one much harder.

Once we know where you are, I'll contact you and several other captives.

[ Well, that's something to get out of this. He'll take it. ]

Good. I'll wait for you to call me, then. Thank you, Sabriel.
