The district got clean water, stable heat and checkpoints. SGI insisted the third item protected the first two. People who complained were invited to a very thorough conversation. Nobody disappeared. Everybody knew he wanted credit for that. There is a special kind of bad feeling when your ruler advertises the things he has decided not to do to you.

A courier named Kett started painting YOUR HAT IS TOO BIG on the new security gates. SGI had the slogans removed. They returned with better lettering. He ordered a meeting. Kett arrived carrying invoices for the paint. Asked whether he was afraid of a joke, SGI said no. Asked why the joke required a meeting, he had to restart the sentence twice.
