“It is wha-a-at it is, regardle-e-e-ess of your opini-ion.” The more time 209845 spent with these life forms, the more they seemed to challenge everything it had believed about the world. So stubborn, strictly set in their ways and resisting change. So different, a diverse melting pool that repeated its own song over and over. Sometimes foolish, with a truly incompetent sense of self-preservation. And yet they seemed to fit together so well. It was unlike anything in the Cloud, where all was carefully designed to fit together and maximize efficiency. And yet, despite their chaos, life forms were capable of so many amazing things. A seeming paradox of beauty born of disorder.

“A-a-apologies, I had to make su-u-u-ure you were no-ot a viru-u-us.” 209845 observed as the fox immediately formed a bond with Jidah, despite the vast differences in their physiology and history, over something as small as dietary preferences. A paradox indeed.

“Well, I cannot die-e-e becau-u-u-use I am not ali-ive. You, on the o-o-other hand, must get offwo-orld.” Or stop the rebooting, it thought silently. Best not to reveal that as a possibility; despite their chaos casualties, it was best for the Framework of the process was completed, and what was a small group going to do?

209845 turned away from the ongoing discussion, and began to search for a way down the cliff. By now, the fleet it had called down had cleared the forest behind them. Soon, the trees in the area would lose their leaves and wither. Within a span of weeks, the forest would be a wasteland. It was eery, how silently an entire ecosystem could die when there was no-one left to scream. The party here chatted carefree, blissfully unaware of the millions lost not so far away. Only 209845 knew.

"How do we stop the rebooting?" Lati asked curiously.

Jidah was very interested. She played idly with sparks, but this was very fascinating.

Quite an assumption to think they have very different physiology.

"I'd be quite hard I fear. My cousins have bared this region from your group." The fox points at @Bird Furious "There's ways around it, of course. "

"There had better be," she sighed. "I don't belong here, and I"m not staying."

"My sister could do it, with a bit of convincing. My brother could do it by force. And there's always Him. I could get an audience with Him. He might not like you. He doesn't like foreigners."

“I do no-ot know. As an agent of the Clou-u-u-ud, I am able to project-ect anywhere instantane-eously-y-y.”

209845 found a relatively sloped trail heading down and began to explore it.

“Tha-at…” 209845 hesitated for a moment, then chose its words carefully. “You-u-u cannot stop the reboo-oo-ooting.” The words gave 209845 a pang of guilt, although it could not identify its origin.

And yet to my character, you appear to be a common fox. 209845 isn’t very… familiar with the ways of the natural world.

209845 augmented its sound receptors, intrigued. The information it had received from the Cloud about this system had not included anything about local deities.

She looked at the coin the elf had given her. It was soon, but maybe she should call in that favor while she was still alive to do so.

It's highly unlikely she can smuggle all of you out. Just you maybe.

"Really? We have a few hours then. He doesn't rise till dawn. I'll warn you then, I'll fade a bit at dawn. Not so much as some, but enough."

Maybe. She's only one elf, against thousands. Much eisier to fight on this planet than drag you through. Is Lati a mortal?

Technically. Lati is the sentient being that doesn’t have a body, played by Glass

209845 grew worried, glitching faster. Had it accidentally revealed too much? But no… it had been careful. How could they possibly detect its subterfuge?

”No-o-o-o, you ca-an’t. It’s impo-o-ossible-e.” If the Clouds operations were compromised because of 209845’s slip-up…

209835 dragged its attention away from the party. Something was off about that fox; beneath its innocent exterior hid a dark deepens of power. And yet, 209845 feared it was the only one here appropriately frightened. On the bright side, it might provide another excuse to stay with this group… yes, an excuse. 209845 could not forget that it was still on mission. It owed no service to these people, and would do well to remember so. But why did it feel like this was where it belonged?

It's certainly powerful. Though perhaps... not very destructive?
