The battleship doctor checking on Essim recognized Mahoun as his 
former patient in the brig.

SKI: Mahoun learns that all the other Yelwitian prisoners from his 
ship died when the battleship exploded. Essim waits to hear something else.

[133] Oh great. The one time I use a stock character name and I 
immediately confuse myself.

[135] Please don't be insulted when I tell you things over and over 
again. It's partly because I don't want to burden you with having to 
remember all the details and partly because I never got tired of 
stories like Chicken Little or The Three Little Pigs where the same 
information or the same circumstances are repeated. The familiarity 
is supposed to be reassuring and symmetrical, not boring.
