the JOI obituary: Gentle claims the dead optics-genius
President J. Gentle (F.C.), acting on behalf of the U.S.D.D.’s O.N.R. and O.N.A.N.’s post-annular A.E.C., conferred a posthumous citation
Context
The obituary's other pole, and the political frame of the whole household: the same JOI whose optics "made possible cold annular fusion and approximate energy-independence for the U.S." is claimed in death by the O.N.A.N. state — "President J. Gentle (F.C.), acting on behalf of the U.S.D.D.'s O.N.R. and O.N.A.N.'s post-annular A.E.C., conferred a posthumous citation." The founder Crooner personally honors the defense-optics man whose fusion work underwrites the annular-waste economy; the Incandenza marriage joins a Québécois-Separatist watch-list subject to a decorated O.N.A.N. weapons-optics laureate.
