Rust (and presumably the others) keep walking across the alien landscape. There are more of the blade-plants in small bunches along the way, but after around a hour, you reach a massive field of them, the twisting spirals of flat metal melding and interlocking. “What is that?” asks Rust, while you’re still far off. “I have never seen anything like this.”

Adtae looks at them. This may be challenging to traverse. I can make shadow bridges, to traverse the plants. But it may take some time.

I am assuming that the plants are sharp.

The bird woke up, stretched, and chirped happily at the man.

It looked curiously at the metal plants.

The plants are indeed sharp. 

“Why would it be challenging to transverse? Oh, because you are like one node. You do not fit.”  Rust expands a lot to try to see. “I think you can see farther than me. How far do they go?” The blade plants exist in a strip of land perhaps a hundred feet deep, but going off as far as the eye can see in both directions.

The bird chirped curiously.

It hopped down from the man's shoulder and approached the plants, pecking at them.

The plants are slightly brittle, at least on the outside. They’re also very hot (they are metal that’s been in the abnormally hot sun for weeks). The suit will stop you from getting actually burned, but it still heats you up quickly.

Alright, I think I’ll go to sleep. Good night.

It waddled over to him and hopped up and down, chirping excitedly.

Then it ran back over to the plants, hopping up and down once more. It twittered at him happily.

Now that I think about it, the metal pieces on the ground are probably also very hot. Not quite as bad, though; they haven’t been intact for nearly as long.

It seems to be a vast expanse. I can see the end across, but not to the sides.

It hopped onto his hand, still chirping.

It seemed like it wanted to get a better view of the plants.

He lifted it so where it could see the top.

It looked around for a moment. Then, satisfied, it fell asleep again.

He sighed, smiling, and cradled it in his palm. He brought his hand to his waist.

Rust contracts, thinking. “If you can see the end, I could go through and get help. But where did this thing come from? How long have I been gone?” 

Quote

Technically, this is Adtae’s fault. It wasn’t before, but I have a retcon for why there can be such a strange thing here, without Rust knowing about it.

How is it my fault?

*innocent pleading eyes*

Adtae nods.

Adtae nods.

“I will split, and leave the translator here. I can fit through the gaps - I think Bird can too - so I will go to the planet spirit and get the sky people to bring a device. The split me will be less smart - I can eat the plants here so I can avoid having to forget.”

You see, Adtae said it had been a long time. Thus, now it’s been a long time here too.

Aaaaaaahhhhhhh

Adtae nodded again. This is good.

Rust parts down the middle, separating into two swarms, one slightly larger than the other. The smaller swarm waves a hand-shaped tendril goodbye, then goes off through the thicket. 
What remains of Rust wraps around one blade-plant. “I will eat this; I will not remember things unless they are important until I have more nodes.” 

Quote

Let’s see… if we say Rust can move half again as quickly on their own, this will still take several hours.

Adtae stood stock still, waiting.

Rust digests one blade plant, then spreads out to surround another.

Do we want to do something, or do we want a time skip?
