Slowplay
S4 E4: Slowplay (GE31)
Summary
Naia’s worried, and it shows. That’s exactly why she’s worried.
Vale Four’s about to deploy FaceTrace. The old system, Calibrex, found thoughts. FaceTrace reads microexpressions, dwell time, everything that happens before anything becomes conscious. That’s terrible news for the Holdfasts. They’ve been trained to pass, but that haven’t been trained for this. They absolutely can’t afford a tell.
They need to practice, and they need to find someone who’s utterly sincere. They get both. Ava really and truly enjoys confession, making her the FaceTrace ideal. June and Elle aren’t there yet, but they’re making up for lost time. June runs the FaceTrace on Elle. They find out exactly where they’re both gonna linger
In the middle of this showdown, another force emerges. It’s the stupidest sports podcast that’s ever existed. They ecstatically call it Midstream, over and over again. Very loudly. They say you never changes horses in Midstream, but you might really want to.
