Said Sil, the ship's mainframe in reply. Jordan still hadn't gotten used to the computer's ability to read her thoughts. Actually, according to Hudson, the programmer that wrote a good deal of Sil's interactive code, Sil didn't read thoughts as much as she predicted what a person would say, based on knowledge of that person's past comments. The longer Sil "knew" someone, the better her odds of predicting thoughts. And Sil and Jordan had known each other for two years, four months, and 27 days. "Wanna play chess?" Jordan asked. Sil could predict her moves, but it was alright to lose to Sil--she never gloated. Unlike her last chess partner . . .
