Once Holt was sure Jay would cut him down, he went back to Corysande.

. . .

Actually, he wasn't sure why he went back, but whatever.

She’d fallen asleep in her swing.

Aw.

She smiled and hugged him tightly.

He blushed and hugged her tighter.

"Yeah," he said. "Me too. I just... I always find a way to screw things up. I'm a mess."

Her caw sounded like a chuckle, and she held out her wings as if to show him.

Holt was very confused as to how she managed to stay upright in her sleep.

"Psst. You awake?" he whispered.

He blushed and hugged her tighter. 

Hehe. C'mon! Let's keep exploring!

Okie. He grinned at her and followed, touching as many leaves as he could.

She was just talented like that.

She jumped, falling ungracefully out of her swing and onto the ground. “Ow…”

Okie. He grinned at her and followed, touching as many leaves as he could. 

She grinned back at him, and they ran into another tunnel, then emerged in the bone room again.

Huh.

They went back and found the crystal room again.

She tried one more tunnel- and this one led to a room full of iridescent stalactites and stalagmites.

The light from their flashlights bounced off the mirror-like surfaces easily, illuminating the entire space with a dim light.

Oo, pretty.

Rebus looked her in the eyes, still drilling downwards. “I’m not stupid - I won’t try to fight him head on or anything. But technology can match a Narrator for a little while; enough time to get away. I won’t abandon them to their fate.”

Rebus let go of his throat, keeping him in place instead by utility fog shackles on every limb. He paced, spreading glowing geometric lines as he spoke. “I told you; you messed up. You were boring, overshadowed. You need to do something, or the Authors find a new gimmick and you either die quietly, or loudly.” 

“I am indeed honestly manipulative and manipulatively honest.” He said cheerfully. “Honestly, I’m simply good at convincing people to do things; haven’t had to resort to actual manipulation for quite a while.” 
“Alright. It might take a few pages to line up the schedules, but I can do that.” 
Rebel smiled, slowly following the guards. Good - where? I was thinking there’d be at least a few corrupt guards, but if needed I can kill these two en-route.

“My computational capabilities? I definitely qualify as a supercomputer, and if I shut down most of my personality I can likely do more,” the orb buzzed, “My substrate is limited to the area I can Ennull naturally, but I imagine you can either convert the output or produce more of the conditions.” 

Hmm. The interface point for our previous superintelligence is- erm- damaged, but I'm sure we can repair it. Is this a position that interests you?

"Mostly fossil fuels and the like." She pointed to a large thing with buttons on the side. "That's one of our units. The green button turns it on, once the key's in it."

After a few keystrokes, Rebus had a skeleton key, which he placed in the keyhole. He connected the trolley with a cable, then hit the button. “That should take around two minutes to get enough power; geothermal might be of help to you in the future. Or you can simply skip to fusion.” 

 @Through The Living Glass Hey Utility, can you give me an excuse to disregard this scientist’s advice and rescue your captives? You’re doing great so far.

“I would be capable of it, and willing to do so. Interest and strong, moderately irrational desire are not something I have yet possessed, though I do wish to move and otherwise apply my abilities.”

She nodded, expression muted. 

“And we’ll be moving to your moon?”
