Three brief reflections on Cawti. First, in JHEREG it's stated quite clearly that Cawti is still doing "work". From the questions Vlad asks her about the Mellar contract, I very much got the impression that she works for folks other than Vlad. This ought to settle the issue discussed earlier in this group. Second, it's clear in ORCA that Cawti is not in the dungeons. Given her intention to remain active in the movement when Vlad leaves, I would assume that either the movement has moderated, Cawti has moderated, or she's become somewhat separated from the movement. Third, I think there's an error in JHEREG. In Chapter 16 (pg 151 of Book of Jhereg), Cawti is tasked with taking out one of the bodyguards. But it is then Keira who says 'Which one am I going to be taking out?' This line (and the next couple of paragraphs) make a lot mre sense if that was Cawti speaking. -- `The skills needed for dealing with a computer are not simply irrelevant to those needed for dealing with people; they are actually a negative. You cannot reboot, reinstall, or power cycle a human being no matter how desperately they need it.' -- me, in forthcoming article
