Content preview: approach to this offer Fine so far. In fact it was better than fine. As always when Joshua left the Datum behind, the oppressive sense of enclosure he invariably experienced there dissipated quickly: a pressure hed not really been aware of when he was grog up, not until it wasnt there any more. The pressure of a world too full of other minds, he suspected, other human consciousnesses. It seemed to be a fine sensitivity; even on remote stepwise worlds he always registered it if somebody else showed up, anywhere near by, even a small party. But hed discussed this strange quasitelepathic facility, or disability, with nobody bar Sister Agnes not even Officer Jansson, and he didnt choose to talk it over with Lobsang now. Still, the sensation of freedom, of release was there. That, and his peculiar awareness of the Silence, as of a mind far away, dimly sensed, like the toll of a huge and ancient bell in a faroff mountain range Or rather he did sense this when Lobsang wasnt talking, as he was now. We will follow the line of latitude west, roughly. We can manage thirty miles an hour easily. A nice leisurely pace; we are out here to explore. That should bring us over the footprint of the continental US in a few weeks Lobsangs face was not quite real, Joshua thought, like a slightly off CGI simulation. But here in this fantastic vessel, in this realization of Lobsangs astonishing dreams, Joshua was oddly warming to him. You know, Lobsang, I caught up with your story when I went back to the Home, after my interview at transEarth. People were saying that the smartest thing that any supercomputer could do the moment it was switched on would be to make certain that it couldnt be switched off again. And that the story about the reincarnated Tibetan was a front, precisely so you couldnt be switched off.

Lobsang thought that over. I look forward to meeting Sister Agnes someday. I hear what you are saying. Thank you, Joshua. Joshua hesitated. While youre thanking me, maybe you could answer a question. Is this you, Lobsang Or are you back on the Datum, in some store at MIT Is that a meaningful question Oh, certainly it is meaningful. Joshua, back on the Datum I am distributed across many memory stores and processor banks. Thats partly for security, and partly for efficiency and effectiveness of data retrieval and processing. If I wished I could consider my self to be distributed among a number of centres, of foci of consciousness. But I am human, I am Lobsang. I remember how it was to look out of a cave of bone, from a single apparent locus of consciousness. And that is how I have maintained it. There is only one me, Joshua, only one Lobsang, though I have backup memory stores scattered over several worlds. And that “me is with you on this journey. I am fully dedicated to the mission. And by the way, when I inhabit the ambulant unit, that too, for the duration, is “me, though there remains enough of “me outside that shell to enable the airship to fly. If I were to fail or were lost then a backup copy on Datum Earth would be initiated, and synched with whatever you were able to retrieve of my memory stores on the ship. But that would be another Lobsang; he would remember me, but he would not be me I hope thats clear. Joshua thought that over. Im glad Im just a standardissue human. Well, more or less, in your case, Lobsang said dryly. Incidentally, now that were under way, be sure that my report on the congressional expedition slaughter is already with the authorities. And, to be on the safe side, with such newspapers as I find trustworthy. Including the Fortean Times, a boon to all researchers of the Long Earth phenomenon. You can access back issues on the screen in your stateroom Its done. A deals a deal. Thank you, Lobsang.
