Enjolras has no particular reason to doubt Gredya's self-assessment. Not, at any rate, after so many months at Milliways.

"She said," he says, thoughtfully, "that she knows of another place like Milliways. I don't know the details. Except that someone tried to claim that place, and to use it for some selfish end. Unsuccessfully, I gather. It was that that led us to freedom of information and the abuses of power."
Joly, with his maps and his studies and his bright intelligence for matters strange and scientific, should know about that detail, he thinks.
