“Right,” he said distractedly, pausing to do so. @Dragonheir “They’re coming along well. I might try to stylize the next one a bit.”

"That's cool. What're you going to make it into?"

He shrugged. “I’m not much of an artist. Just add swirls and lace patterns and stuff like that.”

"Fun. So . . . do you know why they faded?"

“I…” he faltered. “No. I don’t know. It was right after the whole nuclear blast thing, though…” he frowned. “Rax. I probably have radiation poisoning. I still don’t know why I lived through that.”

"Oh."

She grabbed his wrist gently to stop him from adding more tattoos, Narrated away any radiation poisoning/toxicity he may have recieved from the blast, and then let go.

"Okay, continue. I have no idea why you lived, either . . . I'm certainly not mad, though."

With a loud bang, more machines appear around the beacon. They toss out lines of force fields, one set protectively surrounding Bat, and the other forcing the air apart with a whoosh. Rebus appears within the vacuum, surrounded by a cloud of nanomachines. They billow out as both sets of force fields deactivate. He smiles at the group. “Hello, Bat. Tam, Cricket, good to see you. Sorry about the force fields; I built those in for combat reinforcement purposes. What do you all need from me?”

“Oh. Thanks.” He smiled, feeling weirdly less sick. He hadn’t realized he felt sick. “I’m not mad, either. Not at all.”

“We were wondering if you could help Cricket with that utility fog stuff. He’s poisoned.”

Rebus smiles. “I can do that. I was worried you’d need my soul.” He turns to Cricket (@Ookla the Irreplaceable). “I’m going to molecularly detoxify you with nanomachines. Even background Ennulling stops them from transmitting, so I’ll need you to trust me and try not to Ennull.”

“Oh… okay.” he said, not liking Rebus at all.

Rebus would have been offended if he had his soul, but he didn’t, so he wasn’t. He pulls up several holographic screens for the benefit of the others, and a cloud of nanomachines surround Cricket and begin to enter his body through pores. They’re almost imperceptible as they work their way farther through.

He bit his lip, nervous. “How long?”

Thanks. It’s… just weird, having your body invaded. If Rebus wanted to, he could kill me in an instant.

“Yeah,” he sighed. “We shouldn’t have to. He nuked himself.”

"I mean, so could I, but I'm not going to," she replied.

Then . . . she realized what she'd said and looked away uncomfortably.

"Not a word, please. I realize what I said and I don't want to deal with that again right now."

Bat was confused, having not heard the beginning of the conversation. (Unless his ear thingie does that?)

“Exactly.”

He nodded. “But that’s different. I trust you.”

Rebus sends a screen over with a thought, displaying the rough positions of the nanomachines and giving more detail when clicked. 

9 minutes ago, Ookla the Irreplaceable said:

He bit his lip, nervous. “How long?”

He shakes his head. “It really depends upon a number of factors. The most important is the plot; I can’t fix it if your Author doesn’t want it fixed.” 
The nanomachines reach his bloodstream and begin removing anything but Nullite that does not appear in ordinary human blood. 

10 minutes ago, Through The Living Glass said:

Hey, Rebus. Thanks for coming."

“I’m not here, technically. The Dreamsmith requires your entire soul.”

Rebus blinks. “What?”

It would have only done that if Cricket was talking directly to him or if Tam wanted to include him in the conversation.

"Well . . . I trust Rebus, I suppose. Is that good enough for now?"

Just now, Dragonheir said:

"Well, thanks anyway. And you're visiting the Dreamsmith? What for?"

“You okay?”

She smiled at him sadly and squeezed his hand a little.

He held on tightly. Why did he feel so terrified? He’d lived through worst.

Hey, it's going great. Breathe.
