With a staticy crackle, a voice spoke from the drone. “This is a place of refuge, I see.” The drone turned back to the woman. “What did you flee from in coming here?” Quote Nothing in particular. It’s just gathering data on this thread and its inhabitants. Edited January 28 by NameIess

"Does much happen in this place?" he asked. 18142 hadn't heard of any of the places Sol mentioned. He was inclined to believe that Sol wasn't a Threadhopper. Good to know.

Sandy, the other human from the Trisolaran starship, walked up to them, though something looked wrong about the way his legs moved. He whispered something to 18142. Another figure walked up, who looked almost exactly like Sandy, except his movement was normal. His eyes darted between Sandy and 18142. "I have heard about you," the unnamed clone said. He did not seem to see Sol and Ralorin. Sandy locked eyes with the clone, and they stared at each other for a long minute. Finally, the clone's shoulders slumped, and he strode over to the Trisolaran ship and disappeared beyond the door. "Sorry about that," 18142 said. "He is one of us, and isn't supposed to be here."
