The Confederacy designed the Dialectic to end arguments: close the distance, put five beams on one point, and let the other side reconsider its position. Pirates found the reasoning sound and the paperwork unnecessary. The logic matrix that coordinated the original's fire went to a broker three systems away. The lasers stayed, because lasers do not need ammunition, and a crew that never has to go home to rearm never has to explain where it has been. The space the Confederacy gave to analysts now holds marines, and the analysts' doors are welded shut. Boarding crews who have taken one describe the inside as a series of locked rooms, each one defended by someone who has done this before. The name is a courtesy. Nobody aboard expects an answer.
