Summary
They said Mobius was cruel. Maybe that was true. They said she was heartless, that she enjoyed hurting people. Maybe that was true too. It was observable fact. Scientific. Mobius was a woman of science. The observable was all there was and certainly all that mattered. She was cruel, and she was heartless, empirically so and in all the ways that mattered.
They didn't really say any of that, not audibly anyway. It was observable fact. Scientific. They said it in the way her laboratory sat silently humming a tuneless melody of pristinely machined metal and engineered chemical reaction. They said it in the way their voices dropped involuntarily when she passed in the hall. Like they had seen a ghost. They said it in the way she ate alone night after night. They said it in the way nobody asked after her condition beyond and insofar as it interfered with her operational capacity. It never did. They never asked. That was fine.
