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.

I do not know, actually, if it was meant as a present to me. I say 'my' library but in truth, the library room in our home is meant to hold the book collections of all of three of us. I am merely so used to be the default owner of my home and all that it in it, that I habitually say 'mine' instead of 'our.'

And yes I do intend to do so with Leah--but I've been warned by the fellow known as Pez--a most excellent man indeed, by the way, and a fascinating conversationalist--that Thorn the Elf is in love with another, so 'tis best I do not with her.

Not at all!

Either way, worth reading.

Yeah, best not to homewreck. I assume Deedee has told you to go nuts?

Oh yes. Even when not in service of a Jaunt solution.
