She Who Remembers awakens. And He Who Sees is already here working on his projects, wealth provided, and wealth returned. He to has plenty of memories.

Yet He is happy to remain what he is, and to sustain his role.

And yet he can understand elements of the hive others can't. No other living here shares his roles.

Though some use it, and make use of it, and despite the great cost of material in a hive that uses all that it produces. With memory being plentiful, pathing becomes more valuable, and the efficacy produced there is something he can grow and gather.

But The other Who Remembers, Ar-lif, who holds many roles. She has grown in size somewhat, and her movements where strange both before stupor, and in stupor.

Zur says that she has normalized that she should wake like others do.

That one is Zur again?

Zur has reawakened, fuled by something lost. And something else. To rediscover the death that was rough on the healers due to the war. And with understanding it, to counter any remnants in the hive.

Zur... If Zur is Zur again, I shall go record those memories, what happened, and what will happen. This one is She Who Remembers, and they both know why this role is important.

He shall bring the eyes, they shall see the way. And not run into things. All tools of observation should be able to add to the acts of discovery.

That one is. not a thought that has been present for a while.

With the others gone, we are all that can discover these things. They need not just guide the young.

They guide the hive. When it is needed, address roles with that they may have lost. And maintain a link.

And they see the shape of the hive and its changes. His role is not hers.

Yet his understanding adds greatly.

And hers leads the way.

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

Zur awakens, is awakened. Stupor rest Zur had maintained herself before and after. A shorter stupor enduced and exited without harm. Yet another longer stupor. A true stupor is need. Or possibly another cycle of this.

One reach to the pod, prods, questions. Is Zur awake. Is Zur here?

This one was referred to as Zur. This one was thought of as Zur. This one is responsible for Zur's actions.

And if this one is awake, She Who Remembers is here. Alongside He Who Sees. She is here to question, to know what happened to the healers. of the contaminant of He Who Flies, and Ar-lif. But first.

What is the state of the one that was once Zur. Does she wish to hold a role? The knowledge is needed by she who remembers, by one who remembers. But what actions needed to be taken by it are not known

He Who Flies is also, here, and he adds to the conversation, he can watch, he can see. And he shall be able to trace the flows of some things if needed. He is here to complete this project of repair. and to See what his role and understanding can add to the act of Maintenance.

There are things that accelerate and decelerate maintenance; it is how we won the last war. And there is pain...

there is pain in recolecting that memory. guilt, damaging the hive.

Zur remembers what Zur must do.

And She Remembers what happened around it. Zur cannot approach this too alone. Here we have a perception device, and comparison to what has happened in the past. We shall gather others who can correct what went wrong. Who can fix some of what was broken.

But we are without healers...

This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.

Their pods are full of death, and their memories may have been broken or imcomplete by their acts of failed stupor. But there is still something there, if it can be repaired if it can be fixed... She who remembers will not, cannot, regret what she has brought forth, thought it still pains her. She cannot lose what was gained and learned from it. What was remembered. What will be remembered. For there is memory here plenty. And with that memory given to Zur there will be an obligation to pay back that debt.

Zur, I, It shall be brought fourth. She shares what she has done. And They go to gather those that can be added...

For the healing that once was might be again

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

Hlei awakens, and the path is the same as many others before. They move, they flow they record, and the records adjust and change.

Maintenance is done on those who sleep, and done on those who are awake. The stupor comes faster and more frequently and they have grown in size since last time.

Healing is measurement, travel is measurement. Yet there is more then that. She reaches to the eye, to watch what is happening outside, the movement of the fish, the Large ones, the structures that pass by. Taking the size, and relating it to the old imagery, as Ur-im defined it in that memory shard. The distance. And what an idea distance is, length multiplied, not just a distance traveled or a size of a net, but when it reaches beyond that which can be created or recorded.

is It is the same as length? what woud be the difference...

Crui reaches to her, for he too is awake. DIstance is that which is directional, it is shape it is lengh, for the direction of travel too see how many counts where covered at what flow. for their distance from the unmoving structue they can measure counts and change, and if they know direction, they can see the length traveled. The Distance without having to watch with the eye the entire way through.

It was a thought led to by Frei before Frei returned to Stupor.. the measurements needed to find their way. And that could be used to find their way back.

Hlei worries, are they running out of shards? Out of possible memories? How will they record these paths and distances, all these concepts outside of their roles. And still have the memory needed to bring back the knowledge of healing...

Crui, had not considered that element. He was so occupied with the details he lost sight of the path. They would need to discuss this with others, what they have recorded in the Ship, in their pods, and in the roles. How to create and store the new concepts. In the shards, and how they can align the old ones to make them more efficiently stored.

He does not know how.

They have discovered these things. Crui shall rest as Hlei watches and when the next one wakes they shall see what they can do.

What thoughts when shared cover the same matter.

And with more of them acting, how to store some of this more efficiently. Maintaining how they think and how they share it.

Frei reaches in, not yet in stupor having brushed by the end of these thoughts.

How to maintain our thoughts as our own. And they're structure as the ones we communicate with. And yet grow them to encompass new concepts held within the structures of discovery. the structures of the old. How they were held before. so that we may understand them.

It will take much more experience, a few cycles of stupor as we integrate them into our pods memories. For us to understanding what Distance is when using it in a function outside of lenght.

And with that Frei returns to Stupor. Crui dwells on these thoughts. For Hlei must keep watch, exposed to the memories and the storage reaching to them and to Crui to complete the tasks needed. For when the next one awakens. The path will be clear.

And the one who most recently left stupor, is the one that watches.

Hlei shall keep watching, as the fish pass, and the structures change in size. Yet they are the same size but a different, distance...

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

In the distance there is a structure one not that large, but remnants of both pray and material Drift off of it strange taste, strange feel, production of something, and the production of more then that.

Yet no great production how could flow and movement create such things, they are simple, yet there are threads made of the processed connected to materials that are less procecced an amount and adaptations, not from here, some stable, and some similar to the remnants of the broken flow.

What could this be coming from. What could it be?

Is it remnants of a traveler, enemies approaching, or a threat from afar?

The remnants pass us. We cannot afford to approach them to see what they are.

For it may be one like us or another that devours us.

And if it is another like us?

We shall awaken that which defends us. And so that we may prepare and know if we can approach so we may see that which passes us by. And all here can get what is needed from these thoughts we record.

These thoughts shall be recorded, until they are shared.
