Indeed. And in a femme vessel designed exactly to the best specifications
of his trusted advisors, at that.
(I suspect there would also be prayer, confession, and internal muttering,
of course... O;> )
As for the original topic... The way I've tended to interpret angelic is
that the "can't lie" would need to automatically include at least rough
degrees of belief in things which the person honestly didn't have a
Truth reading on. The "True tense" is something Seraphim get at times,
and Future Precognitive for Yves (and occasionally a Seraph), and
everyone else gets Strong Belief or True Intentions notes. This does
kind of short-circuit the "try to complete a sentence and see if it's
true!" tactic, but... I think that most GMs would tend to be happy
with that outcome. O:>
