“17, that wasn’t okay of them. Touch isn’t meant to hurt you.”

17 pondered for a moment, expression blank. The words didn't really compute. "It was meant for the tests."

They walked in silence, unsure how to respond to what Réva was saying. She seemed very convinced.

“Here it is!” Finally, 209845 was able to feel a surge of relief. There great oak was at the base of the hill, just as the fox had said it would be. And among its roots… 209845 brushed away a rough thicket to reveal a dark tunnel leading down. The walls of the tunnel were rimmed with streaks of a faint bioluminescent moss. Invisible to most mortals, it was a clear sign of how deep this tunnel went.

”This tunnel should lead into a larger system where we can rest and regroup,” it announced to the rest of the party. From there, hopefully things would begin to make more sense.

She sighed and started down the tunnel.

“Honestly, yes, I did. They might have made you, but your body is yours before anyone else’s.”

They seemed to retreat into themself, clutching the sword tighter and looking down at their feet as they walked.

"So," Sigismund said, "We'll be safe from the Cloud down here?"

She felt a little bad about it. But they needed to learn to be independent.

“We can never be entirely safe… but they won’t expend all their resources searching for me. So long as we stay out of the way and out of sight, they shouldn’t come looking for us in here.”

They paused, looking ready to turn back and run. The fear had returned to their expression.

They did so, seemingly more comfortable now that they were in the rhythm of receiving and obeying instructions.

She nodded approvingly.

"Yes . . . well I work there, sometimes. Make sure the books are happy."

"I don't know." 17 tested out another jab with the sword, trying to match what Jidah had done.

“Good. Don’t choke the sword.”

209845 began to lose it. Why was nobody taking it seriously?

"NO! Listen to me, stay awake! I need you to get us to the caves, do you understand? CAVES. We need to get under cover. If you sleep now, I will ZAP YOU!"

209845 began to overheat, warming the air around them. Every second, the Cloud drew closer. Every second, they're chances of getting caught grew higher. 209845 didn't want to be reset...

209845 realized everyone was looking at it, and calmed down.

"Apologies, I've just... this has never happened to me before and I feel like the rest of you may not perceive the gravity of this situation. I'm overwhelmed, is all." That was the truth... but there was something more. 209845 shouldn't feel overwhelmed. It was supposed to remain emotionless. And so this new experience frightened it.

"Thank you."

209845 began to search for the route.
