Chapter 19: Eom

The clerk had a tablet, and the tablet had a speaker, and nobody in that cold room breathed while it played.

A soft voice came out of it, warm as tea.

It said what a man says when he thinks a holder in a cage will not live to repeat it.

The voice went on, unhurried, and a pen rolled off the table while nobody bent to get it.

The old woman on the Board shut her eyes at the third sentence.

The chair of the Board, the heavy man with the gold pin, stared at the tablet.

When the file ended, the silence was the loudest thing in the room.

"That is a forgery," said Eom.

His voice was calm.

His hand, Si-woo noticed, had begun to tremble against his trouser seam.

"A device of the subject's, hidden against regulations, edited by who knows whom..."

"It's timestamped on the card," said the clerk, faintly. "It has the room tone. It's got the cylinders in it."

"You don't know that."

"I know a whine at forty hertz when I hear one, Chief."

"Then it is inadmissible," Eom said. "Obtained without consent."

"It was obtained in a room you put me in by vote," Si-woo said.

"The recorder sat in my own sleeve."

"I'd say the consent was yours."

Someone laughed, high and shocked, at the back.
