after the Waking World log

Hoo boy. I realise this phrasing may be treading on thin ice right now, but strange things are afoot at the Aratta Skyhook.

First things first. Leah took the news that she was chosen to be the first Conductor deliberately... about as well as we figured she would. She has a theory as to why and asked me to run it by you guys. [And so she does, letting the memory play out from the linked point until Leah says she'd like to talk to the Oracle who uncovered this.]

So yeah, Thace, if she hasn't found you already, find her.

Second. I made sure to get a planetside view while I was out and about. Alexandra had never bothered before, and apparently wouldn't have understood what she was looking at anyway, and for an uninhabitable planet there's a shitton happening on the surface. And, uh, I found the source of the mysterious ticking noise, probably.

They're building a computer chip the size of fucking WYOMING.

That's a really damn good metaphor. Psychic Protection helps, but it only gets you so far; try also to specifically avoid using their memeplexes.

[truerevelation]

Memeplexes? Like ... complex memes? Ain't worked on my psychic protection for ages... should really'a thought about that after the shit in the Vale, huh.

[eldritchwheelies]

Memes referring to other memes. Memeception. Matroyshka dolls of sci fi and anime references. Yeah.

[truerevelation]

... You lost me after the 'referrin' to other stuff' and until 'sci fi and anime references'.

[eldritchwheelies]

If we get Sara out of her dungeon, we need to show y'all Inception. And Pacific Rim. Assuming those aren't things she watched at the base, the way that fighter pilots get together to heckle Top Gun.

But you got all the stuff that actually matters; the rest of it was just commentary. Though I can show you a Matroyshka doll if you want; one of those Russian dolls containing a doll containing a doll, shit, it's dolls all the way down.

- Oh, those things! I getcha. They're pretty neat.
