“No! I have to see Kadar. Tell him it’s Ryan from the Star Hawk. Tell him... Tell him Wesnakee.”
Wesnakee, don’t try to look it up it doesn’t exist, yet. The idea that a shared history becomes a kind of code is nothing new. Intelligence agencies have been using it for as long as there have been intelligence agencies. Words can take on heavy meanings to individuals beyond anything that a dictionary will ever define. This is epically true of people who have shared life changing experiences.
Wesnakee to most folk is nothing. To people who have read Cloning Freedom it is first and foremost a bar on the switchboard station (more on that later) that won’t become important until the sequel, Freedom’s Law, except for its shared history between Ryan and Kadar.
In the sentence above Ryan is saying, ‘I nearly died saving your life and lost a part of myself that haunts me to this day. You owe me, and by the gods if there is any of the friend I knew left in you, you will pay this debt today.” It’s a lot to put into a word and if you want the details you need to help get Cloning Freedom published. This particular story of Wesnakee is told in Cloning Freedom though you don’t see the bar itself until Freedoms Law.
Don’t let the sequel worry you. Cloning Freedom comes to a conclusion. The sequel simply goes on as life tends to.
