Summary

The Divine Detachment circles the planet at a blistering velocity, its corresponding satellites watching over it. On board The Kingdom Come, The Chime finds itself in argument, and Detachment silently approaches. Aria faces off against the laws of gravity, Cass struggles to piece a plan together, Mako thinks it'd be a good idea if you call him Larry now, and parts of AuDy are lost and found.

This time on COUNTER/Weight: Do You Have Room For Me?

We are older than we know.

0:41.3	her Institute was, quote,
0:43.0	a most necessary precaution,
0:45.0	as assimilation into the state structure
0:48.0	is the only way to protect Stradai
