Statutes and Limitations (Nathan, Val Cooper, Haroun)

[x-cable.livejournal.com]

Nathan's lawsuit against Gideon has an unexpected consequence - well, not that unexpected, but what happens after that, as Nathan makes Val Cooper the beneficiary of six months' worth of research, is going to be a very unpleasant surprise for his not-so-beloved uncle.

( Your focus is too narrow. I started looking beyond his role in Mistra months ago. )

Shaken up by the conversation with Val, Nathan goes for a less-than-successful flight in his new exoskeleton. Thankfully, Haroun accompanies him, not just to critique his technique but also to urge him to see this as the victory it is.

( No loose ends, no waking up in the middle of the night wondering. )

In which Jamie does his very best to break in the new student counselor, but unfortunately Haller is more-or-less immune to trauma, having built up a significant tolerance over the years.  They have a long and somewhat rambly conversation and find that they generally get along.
