Joelle's Q-interview about the Master

quote

‘Not exactly. Not exactly veiled.’

Context

Steeply's debrief of Joelle, her answers transcribed with the questions redacted to "Q." Asked (evidently) whether she was veiled in the lethal crib scene, she gives this hedged double negative — which collides head-on with Notkin's secondhand account to the same Office (p. 788), where Joelle was nude and the whole cosmology ran through the veil. The book's two testimonies about the deadly scene can't both be right, and the veil is where they disagree.
