"I think that's... where the tree is," she says, as if that explains everything.

"Tree?"

"Oh. Sorry it's... it's probably not a tree. I definitely don't think it's a tree to everyone. But it's... useful to think of it as a tree?"

"It's where the sparks go, in the end."

Natalie raises an eyebrow, "Usually if you put sparks on a tree, it burns down."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Oct 07, 2021 11:40 am

"Okay, so don't think of them as sparks. Think of them as... little lights that make you what you are. Souls."

"Okay... I may have a hard time explaining this to the Citadel."

"You're a computer made out of exotic crystals that reports to some sort of space wizard."

"Maybe you'll have an easy time reporting it. If not, I guess I could talk to them?"

by **Natalie Denisov** » Thu Oct 07, 2021 9:35 pm

"I'm a person, inhabiting a highly advanced technological device," Natalie bristles, "And that 'space wizard' is kind of an asshole. So yeah, I have no idea how reporting this will go."

"I mean, being a person residing in a computer made of exotic crystals doesn't make your nonsense any better than my nonsense."

by **Natalie Denisov** » Thu Oct 07, 2021 9:41 pm

"I didn't say it was better," Natalie says, a hand running across her face, "I just... sorry, just was treated like a 'thing' today despite someone's words to the contrary and I'm a bit sore."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Oct 07, 2021 10:07 pm

"I just... well, I know all this shite has a sort of weird dream logic to it and it never gets any better than that."

by **Natalie Denisov** » Thu Oct 07, 2021 10:21 pm

"Wonderful," Natalie frowns, "I'll try to package it as best I can. If they need to talk to you, I'll let you know. Not sure how we'd get you there. Don't really have the transport pad ready yet."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Oct 07, 2021 10:24 pm

"I'm guessing space wizards aren't big on remote communication?"

by **Natalie Denisov** » Thu Oct 07, 2021 10:34 pm

"I honestly don't know. I got summoned to some sort of throne-room-slash-observatory-room, so maybe, maybe not. First time I'd met the head 'space wizard'. Not exactly eager for a repeat."
