I winced at that one. Finding the right Rafael Ramirez in all of the nations that lay north of the Aztlan border would have been an impossible task. Instant data overload—unless the searcher already knew to localize the search to the Seattle telecommunications grid. Had Rafael’s mother kept in touch with the AFL, letting them know that she’d settled in Seattle, and had the AFL retained this information all these years, until it came time to smuggle Rosalita out? It didn’t seem credible. And why hadn’t Rafael’s mother ever told him he had a grandmother in Aztlan? Didn’t she realize that Mama G was still alive? Was staying in contact with someone in Aztlan really that difficult? Maybe the rebel uprising was more disruptive than the Azzie tridcasts admitted.
