Summary
How many sisters do you have someone asks and his mouth says seventeen without checking with his brain, the hard, high number drilled into him by years and years of repetition, by the fact that it’s always true. His name is Michael J. Caboose, he was born on the moon, and he has seventeen sisters.
And then his brain catches up with his mouth, and it hurts, it hurts that his body was wrong and he said that, it hurts that he has to think, has to focus, has to remember the new number that his body hasn’t learned yet, has to speak up and correct himself long after the conversations or even the person has moved on.
Actually it’s ten now he’ll say to space that’s empty by then.
-
Caboose left the moon with 17 sisters. He came back to 10.

Summary
“Felix,” Locus says again.
“What!?” tears out of his throat like a frustrated bird bursting out of the leaves of a tree. Doesn’t he get how serious this is?
Locus points at the ground, straight into the dispersing smoke. Felix squints into it.
Glints of orange, of maroon.
“We have a lead.”
All of them hadn’t escaped.
-

Summary
“Please have a word with Caboose,” Kimball says, and the bottom drops out of Carolina’s stomach. “He needs someone to talk to, even if he doesn’t agree.”
Work is meant to distract. She can’t think of anything less distracting than Caboose right now. The dumbass is in that guy line’s of fire, take him out. He got lost on his way to the cafeteria again, lead him there. Count his pills to see if he took them, he’s a disaster.
Caboose is indisposed, and it isn’t because of injuries.
