....nobody talked about Tru at Dome
.Tru had left gary rainy in the early 70's having had some genuine awakening
.at first he supposedly decided that all technology of the intraneural kind was deplorable and had vowed to see that it be somehow removed from the earth or some such nonsense.
but some people said he went back to it.realizing that with or with out him it would be developed.

one time musical genius.than hermit

now it seems if you believed stories a purveyor of not the new way but

"his way"
or maybe 'your way" depending on whom you believed

Tru's way was based on of all things the teachings of saints and prophets
with a little cybernetic EST thrown in for good measure

there was talk of Tru gaining access to the Enways

of even making them free

some people feared he was already there.

ahead of time

the way people spoke of tru was that the son of a bitch had saddled up to more prestigious scientists than Rainy.and some  even claimed

had made ins to quantum physics and all that that implied

he was the man no one was allowed to speak of

he was a turncoat

a ruiner.
