But I do know that, though I can see hints of the potential split going back a thousand years or more, that’s only hindsight. Or is anyone’s identity a matter of fragments held together by convenient or useful narrative, that in ordinary circumstances never reveals itself as a fiction? Or is it really a fiction? I don’t know the answer.
Did the singing contribute, the thing that made One Esk different from all other units on the ship, indeed in the fleets? Perhaps. But when I look closer I seem to see cracks everywhere. But how did it go from potential to real, incontrovertible, irrevocable? On one level the answer is simple-it happened when all of Justice of Toren but me was destroyed. That division, I–Justice of Toren and I–One Esk, was not, I have come to think, a sudden split, not an instant before which “I” was one and after which “I” was “we.” It was something that had always been possible, always potential. Nearly twenty years later “I” would be a single body, a single brain. A unit might be very focused on what it was doing at that particular moment, but it was no more apart from “me” than my hand is while it’s engaged in a task that doesn’t require my full attention.
“It seems very straightforward when I say “I.” At the time, “I” meant Justice of Toren, the whole ship and all its ancillaries.
