Had expected the Read-Only news

texture · ~12-14 Nov YDAU, anchor-derived

• When: The Antitoi shop, at the confirmation that the found Entertainment copy is Read-Only, not a duplicable Master.
• What: The endnote explains that the disappointing news had been expected by Broullîme and Fortier from the moment they saw the Antitoi brothers active and alert: had a Master — with its unique case and slightly larger size — been lying loose in the shop, even the dim brothers would have set it aside, arranged the special 585-r.p.m. hardware to check its value, and been already lost. A live Antitoi meant no Master. Broullîme as co-holder, with Fortier, of the cell's cold deductive read.
