Security copies Sevar on key updates from Keltham's conversation with Broom:

"Kelthams don't cheat strangers.  They keep their promises to strangers.  They trade fairly with strangers.  They have, in their utilityfunction, very strongly, the shards of - a thing I was going to teach in future lectures - the essence of Coordination - that made its way into humans, long ago, because people who didn't feel anything about keeping their promises, did less well in trade, acquired poorer reputation, and in the end had fewer children, than the honorable.  And we know that this must have happened, long ago, because there is no other way that human beings could now be what they are, things that have a word for honor."

"The very first shard of Coordination that children are taught about, in the very beginning, is this game I set them to play."

"The other solution is to care about honor.  Care about Coordination.  Be someone who, if somebody else cooperates with you, trusts you, would sooner walk out of this reality through Abaddon than betray them, when they hadn't betrayed your own trust."

"That was the god I called out to - the god whose domain is following the forms of Coordination for their own sake, as a term in the utilityfunction.  Because that is something very deep and strong in what Keltham is, that goes with his selfishness, and makes it okay, safe, for him to be selfish."

"All you need to do to solve the real version of this dilemma with a Keltham, outside of the usual game instructions where we're not instructed to roleplay being purely selfish in a way that demands complicated math to solve by pure Law, is to say under truthspell that you'll Cooperate with him.  You don't need to say why.  If you're not going to Defect against Keltham and take his own stuff, then he's not going to take three coppers away from you.  The end."

 

"I've never lied to anyone in Golarion."

 

(The voice of the Security handling her comms is audibly that of Olegario, if that matters for anything.)
