&¨&&&&&&&¨ ¨¨&¨&&¨&¨&
¨&&¨¨¨¨¨¨& there's probably a point where we try ¨¨&&&¨&&&&

&¨&&&¨¨¨¨& or mor&@%@§ a "killer fact", something ¨¨&&¨&¨&¨¨
&&&¨¨&¨¨¨& that a species that isn't curious will ¨¨&¨&&&&&¨
&¨¨&¨&&¨¨& never find &¨&&&¨¨¨¨&
¨&¨&&&¨&¨& ¨&&¨¨&¨¨¨&
&&&&¨¨&&&& but something that a species that is ¨&¨&¨&&¨¨&
¨¨¨¨&¨&¨¨¨ curious is bound (in the fey sense) to &&&&&&¨&¨&
