"You don't sound convinced."
*"I am not. You must understand that this is not something any of the clade wants known. It is just a name, yes, but it is important to us in a way that is hard to overstate."* Dear sighed. *"Much of the clade is of the opinion that, if we could simply wipe the Name from our minds, we would. For a member of the clade to break that trust is nigh unthinkable. It is acting against our very nature."*

"Okay, good. I gave AES a check, and you're right, that's ridiculously old. Can't you just crack it?"
*"We could. Some of us probably already have. I want the key, though. It's probably a word or something, and may prove interesting in its own right."*
