When: pre-dawn, 1 May YDAU
What: Steeply admits U.S.O.U.S. has already lost people testing the samizdat — an idiot Data-Analysis intern who yielded to temptation, and worse, Data-Analysis chief Hank Hoyne, who went in to pull the intern out and is now in four-point restraints, tube-fed, wanting nothing but more viewing; Steeply "couldn't even stand to be in the same room." A night-shift memo coined the phrase for their eyes. Repeatedly Steeply probes whether Marathe is personally tempted to view it, and half-admits his own terror-tinged intrigue.
