A technician does measurements on the overlap as Dr. Warren continues talking to Adtae. She’s still unable to quite grasp how the powers work (because they defy the laws of physics), so she’s mainly asking about what they can do. “Have you ever seen your shadows shatter? They seem unbreakable.” 

They have only shattered in the presence of light from my world. It is what happens when I am no longer maintaining them, and they snap through the barrier put up by the light, exiting reality. But I can recreate them.

The two left the weirdly organic room and went down the stairs.

@Ookla the Inquisitive

Down the stairs are a few rooms, also organic. A technician passes the two of you with carrying a mechanism seemingly designed to hold something in place and then press on it. “Are you looking for Dr. Warren? She’s back there, though Dr.” - he says something interspersed with nigh-unpronounceable rollings of sounds - “is over there if you don’t want to wait.”

She blinks. “Your shadows are unbreakable, and can be generated at no cost to you? If we can figure out how to stabilize them, the Runway and other superstructures will look minuscule.”

He blinked. “Um… we can wait.”

There is a cost. Though I guess if you do "stabilize" them, making them independent of me, that is irrelevant.  But in order to do so, you would need effective manipulation of the Overflow, as well as a sound understanding in Andarik. One that I don't have.

The technician shrugs. “I’ll tell her; you’d likely be more comfortable talking to another human, while both doctors probably look similarly alien to your companion.”

She nods. “We’ll do tests. Unless there is something somehow only possible where you come from, I think we can understand it.”

There shouldn’t be.

He paused his communication.

There are two things that come to mind when I consider this problem.

He hesitated.

They both have merit, but they both have acute failings. First, the Demons. I actively contain their power within them. This keeps their power out of the Overflow, where it can have great effect. Even though that power should be very difficult to contain, I am somehow able to keep it in check. But the problem with this is that it requires my supervision. The other thing that comes to mind, though, is the light in my world. It makes it much easier to sustain Andarik, and blocks me from bringing Andarik into Reality. It doesn’t take any supervision. But it fails against unrestrained Andarik…

She nods along. “So it is effectively only possible where you come from, or with things brought from there.”

Well, good thing I brought things over, yes? I believe the light has some small Adari inside of it.

She nods again. “What light do you mean?” Getting a message, she pauses to read it. “Your friends are awake now, by the way. We could all be here, or you could talk to the head technician while I speak to them. I think you may be exceeding the bounds of my materials science training, regardless.”

Pyre liked that very much, and cooed softly.

He chuckled and scratched a little firmer but not too hard.

The light of my world, which has an effect on my powers. I believe there is some Adari within.

Perhaps that is best.

"I'll pass the message along to Dr. - I doubt you can spell our pronounce the name, actually. Chief Engineer should work - who is three rooms down." 

@Spark of Hope, Adtae's departure should pass Kal.
