Summary

In Chapter 6, Breq remembers going with Denz Ay and her daughter to retrieve the cache of Tanmind guns. Searching her data records, Breq determined the guns had been confiscated during annexation and should have been destroyed, a problem which she reported to Awn and Skaaiat. Awn and Skaaiat determined the Tanmind must have been up to something, looking for a reason to accuse someone in the lower city of something, with the Jens using their orphaned niece as an excuse. Breq remembers Awn wondering if there was more to everything, and Skaaiat wondering if Awn was being set up by Jen Shinnan. Awn believed that whatever the case, no one in Ors could have hidden the guns without help from higher up. Word then came that Lord of the Radch, Anaander Mianaai, would be visiting.

Breq takes a moment here from recalling the past...
