*SPOILERS FOR RADIANT STAR* Why was Justice of Albis...

able to lie about the Ylec oracle stones?

I've had a little too much arrack and I forget what they're called (I know arrack is a real thing on current Earth but just lemme fanboygirl pls it's actually some stupidass ipa) and I don't remember the exact exchange, but I think at some point an ancillary of Albis was asked if it knew anything about the Ylec stones and it seemed like it basically just outright lied, not just trickily omitted something (maybe I'm over-applying Raven Tower god rules but still) to either Ilora or Nialt, and this was before it had gated its way to Radch space, so it wouldn't have known about the conclave or been re-coded by Breq. I don't think it was asked by someone who was an officer of the military (I know fo sho it didn't ask Charak), but I would assume it would be under obligation to be truthful to anyone under Charak's command??
