There was an unoccupied microlevel in Alisandrean orbit, like a hidden floor on an elevator. There, the Princess Ascendant sat on a Vedani sled’s platform, her back to the handlebar column. Here she had the time for a moment of removal, when information could come together in her mind and in the world. Moonshadow could access certain stream spectra. Together they ascertained this location, using some of Soleil’s familiar public database cross-referencing.

Once here, they were able to tap into sets of signals, sifting for specific importance. They found floating pieces of the scroll, in the Vedani aetherscape accessible to Moonshadow the coaster sled.

SOLEIL LOOK WHAT I FOUND

“Very good. Yes, very good.”

It was extremely moving, though it would command radical shifts in order to adapt. Somehow, all put together, the enormity of what was occurring socially cracked her heart open; all the tragedy and hope, personal loss and unbelievable discovery poured out in the swirling mist of shuddering breaths of revealed exertion. She wasn’t cold, but she wasn’t warm out here in the bubble of field that this light vehicle could create for her. Sweeping social movements often send one to perspective’s outer reaches of space, far from the comforting center.

The cosmos moved, and Soleil created a point of stillness where she sat.

This is always the way it is, isn’t it. Everything’s always happening.

UIXTR: Semi-incorporeal though the Kao-Sidhe may be, they conduct discussions of great substance – and, on the other hand, little matter.

OIBHN: I’m glad they invited us to the Fray, after we noticed its effluvia in our uncharted aethers, where we usually detect their sparkling traces. Certain among my social spheres are very engaged! People are communicating their own contributions, like Yykth here.

YYKTH: Hey, I’m “here.” I’m mostly just listening to the statements that are being collected. I am circulating related topics, which I also see speakers picking up. Then to one side, but not totally separate because concurrence-feeds-generation, new Spheraeonic samples are mutating, and becoming really interesting with added volumes. So, that’s a form of multi-wave artistry that’s circulating with the Dragon edits of the scroll.

UIXTR: The scroll reads better and better as it comes along. It’s clear which parts can be regrouped for subsequent iterative understanding. But it’s all out there as soon as it comes, and it’s coming together nicely. We might soon have exhausted a full account of the needs of the dawning age, the age upon us wherein we cannot unsee each other.

OIBHN: I’ve never unseen anyone – unless there’s somebody I’ve forgotten.

YYKTH: Forgivable slips can be remedied, I’m learning.

UIXTR: Perhaps much can be remedied. Beyond that, the path will show itself.
