For others who appear in this volume, I’m providing a Key to describe them as well as a few additional items. I had to rely on Gris’s prison narrative, which isn’t easy.
(Gris’s American Southern drawl, spoken with a Northern Voltarian accent, has to be heard to be believed.)
From there, you’re on your own! There’s only so much a Robotbrain can do!
Sincerely,
