Narrator finds an injured person and burses them back to health. Narrator says he thought this person dead a thousand years ago so it makes me think theyre a robot.
Ch 2
19 years and some change ago Narrator was a space ship. What we saw in chapter 1 was what they called an ancillary. A human body taken over by an AI like Narrator.
Th8s chapter takes place in the far past on a planet where narrator's shipness is in orbit and has 20 or so ancillaries on the planet. It is a hot wet planet.
Ch 3 pg 27
Narrator rents a glider to take the injured person somewhere. But the glider is a trap. It's got a fake fuel gage and they run out of fuel. The renter and some people she recognizes from the bar where she found the injured person try to rob her. Narrator ( I keep wanting to use the pronoun she, I think cause Narrator uses it for everyone even if theyre male ) shoots them dead. Narrator uses the glider the would be robbers came in on to get where they're going. It's an abandoned cabin.
Also, this is an ice planet, so the stakes here were pretty high.
Ch 4 pg 42
Back to the past on the hot wet planet.
The stakes are low because its the past and also its hard to worry that any harm would come to a single ancillary when there's 20 of them and a ship in orbit.
Narrator works for lieutenant Ann who works with lieutenant skaaiat. They're meeting with local rich people and said local rich talk about the minorities on their planet how theyre flawed and as such the rich deserve to rule over them and its upsetting that under the rule of the Radchaai the poors seem to get preferential treatment. From the perspective of lieutenant Ann its that under Radchaai rule the poors are being given opportunities that they never would have had before.
On their way back to quarters lieutenant Skaaiat explains that everyone that is successful is doing it in one way or another on the backs of some oppressed people somewhere. The rich of this planet aren't in any way worse than the Radchaai that took over the planet.
Ch 5 pg 65
Odd chapters are the present on the ice planet. Even chapters are the past on the tropical planet.
The owner of the cabin shows up. The reason narrator is here is because the house owner has a gun that can shoot through Radchaai force fields and narrator wants to use it to kill the Radchaai emperor.
Ch 6 pg 87
Past tropical planet.
Guns are found. This is bad. What's worse is they are guns that were already confiscated and put up on the ship that is out narrator.
Also, the Radchaai emperor pays a visit and s especially rude to lieutenant Awn. They also piss off the rich people cause the first place they visit is the poor people's temple.
Ch 7 pg 101
Present cold planet.
Injured people show up and the owner of the house doctors them.
Ch 8
Past hot planet
The emperor visits and in the midst of said visit communications are cut and rich people come down to the temple demanding justice claiming a rich person's niece was murdered by poor people. They talk about how they know guns were placed in the lake and they claim its part of a plan by the poor people to commit violence against the rich.
The emporer asks lieutenant awn for a private word. Lieutenant Awn tells the emperor that this is all a rich people's scheme. The emperor orders lieutenant awn shoot the rich. In a usual suspectsesque moment lieutenant awn realizes the person high up that allowed for the guns to be placed in the lake must have been the emperor. Narrator shoots the rich as ordered. The hanging Chad here is how the emperor benefits from this scheme.
