...This is how it is, and this is how it was. This is how it will be.

I pull back from their communication from their conglomeration, careful not to lose himself in that discussion.

He Dwells at the edge he is the mind that does so. i dwell at the edge I am the mind that does so.

I am also me. him, I am.

I AM ALSO ME.

I am Frei and I am ME and I dwell at the edge that is all I am...

I need to return to my memories to...

Frei who dwells at the edge who travels in this ship with others must return ot the boat before his other tasks to fully perform them without losing himself in the minds of others. Of those, he is infiltrating.

...

Of those, he is infiltrating?

He needs to get back to communicate with one of the others which one is awake?

I Protect our pods, I Protect this ship, He Protects all this. Why should I/he let an infiltrator among those being protected.

Why does this one think like that? It hurts, it is hard to put together?

I do not trust you.

╟\ pulled back from that communication, why would they attack┼ why to me?

What did ╞╟ do to have this done by a podmate? by a fellow ship dweller? By the one that defends?

Ur-Im reaches to me...

----------------------------------------

Ur-Im reaches to He Who Defends, Ur-Im has awoken, what happened to Frei.

That one... He sends images of what and who and why. He infiltrates.

And he is of a broken mind brought by being within the minds of others. Without his pod and access to those thoughts Frei may be lost for good.

It is a danger to our ship, to our hive, to our goals.

I contain the thoughts of the enemy, and he is necessary to us. We are with others, we are here to learn and take from others. And Frei is here on this trip to do the same.

It is his identity as Frei to dwell at the edge and be distant. Here we can bring him close.

Ur-im cares for them that Ur-im should not care for. Ur-Im can save The one it refers to as Frei, and its knowledge, I shall even assist, but I shall not go to stupor if it is dwelling in our hive-ship.

And we shall get to that after I get to him.

I go to Frei reach to him, and communicate. Frei, Frei this is you, this is I.

What of ╟ what of me

I guide Frei to his pod, I guide frei through himself, he dwelt at the edge, he is beyond the edge we are here in this hive-ship to find healing,

Healing, we are at the edge, we are lacking what we need, and we need to get it from others.

We need to find ourselves and reform, Who is Frei.

We are Frei, we need to find ourselves and each other, to be as we once were, cleaner, more original. Like these large ones, they grow, can we grow more?

Ur-Im shall be Ur-Im shall find healing for Wur. Frei shall find healing for the Hive, for the Ship. To fulfill Hlei. What would fulfill Frei.

What would fulfill Frei?

Maybe Frei can find it here, in this place, in this thing, it is made mostly of his memories he should not overwrite it too much.

There is so much Frei, I need to remember I need to put some of this down.

I push more shards towards Frei to construct himself to the empty parts of his pod, gently examining his memory. Frei is one of us, And I help Frei remember who he is...
