[Viktor makes a little hm noise, at that, deciding not to litigate it further. It's all semantics, anyway, and he has to admit that it does feel a little petty, both on the part of the Singularity and on this new herald, who has clearly shown up to ruin all of their lives.]

I would think the latter, unfortunately, given that the weather seems to be everywhere, including the Horizon.

[He likes Sten--he'd been just as disappointed to realize he wasn't present, given the fact that he might have understood why the Summoned were making the choice they did, or explained things in more detail. Perhaps this could have been avoided.]

I'm sure he read it. I hope it might ease the tensions.
