Ne does know more than a fair share about such things depending on who a person asked and it was amusing that he was asking that of nem in particular. Words never mattered as long as ne got what ne wanted with them. "Is that a prevailing thought or has it been stated? That we are to worship the fools who run the asylum."

"There have been a few on the system; not that One has spoken with them, preferring not to deal with even false, or not, gods." Ne has no need for any of them after all. It would be curious to find out just what he had planned, not that ne'd ask; but, it was always a good idea to know what was going on, what chaos that might take place or need pushing.
