Ur-Im awakens and Hlei returns to rest. She reaches for him as he recreates himself,
We have found others, a hive-home, these larger than us, the memories needed to act within roles held in unclaimed pods, used by waking individuals who awaken from lesser pods in which they sleep. The pod material is precious...
----------------------------------------
They will join these others in their hive floating in the sky, at least for a time. So crui affixes the ship to the outside of their hive-home, held by nets at a small distance connected, yet separate. We cannot share our memories with our hosts, for they would value our shards more than they value us. Crui knows this, and as Ur-Im leaves to join them, Crui makes sure he too understands.
----------------------------------------
They do not see much use for us, we are small we cannot hold many resting-pod-memories while running-pod memories, that is how they think of it. Yet I, Ur-Im, held the role of He Who Makes Wings, I am competent in my ability to work with nets and with fins, some of that are in my central-pod memories, I can help clean the outside of their hive, and adjust their mechanisms. I can work alongside an other to make the work more efficient. This is accepted, it is safe and so my first cycle begins.
They do not yet trust us within their hive, for we may in our incompetence, it bothers Ur-im that they think of us that way, overwrite task memories, and there are no other sources. They shall not provide us with shards to better build our tasks.
But if I accomplish this I can help others holding this role in adjusting and improving the running-pod-memories, and they shall perform their tasks with more memory to spare.
The tasks are efficient and the hive runs, they shall not let me mess with the actions that need to be taken.
So I join another and we progress in his task.
With my tendrils I observe, they push things off with tool, they know their paths and they question why I cannot tell when I am leaving mine. And they put apon me the role of repairing flaws in the process, where the actions are taken but things have coated and pushed onto the outside of our home-ship, that the tasks do not improve. We spin nets and they guide me on their paths.
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
Why does the one who's symbol is Ur-im not follow paths.
I do not see them, I lose track.
Is it not in your resting-pod-memories?
I am not large enough to bring those with me, it is not truly there.
Yet your resting-pod-memories hold observation on the workings of these processes?
We seek healing, I seek the healing of one who's memories are I give presence to in my resting-pod-memories. the working of processes is important to who I am. Ess[ecially that which prevent them.
They encourage him to bring more memories with him next time he takes this task, it makes there work so much more efficient, and it is good that one fufils this role.
I continue, and we learn from each other. I hope I have enough shards to remember what is important from this, I know they do not. Still, we shall grow.
----------------------------------------
Crui has made their ship safe, secured, and he has presented himself to their hosts. He consumes of the stored food, they shall repelnsh when they leave this place, but they cannot trust their hosts not to canibilize their ship into the hive. Hlei is in stupor, but He Who Defends wakes,
He Who Defends understands their situation somewhat, and he will be able to keep their ship safe. What does Crui intend?
He seeks healing for Wur, in Ur-Im's place, he shall pay them in some memory-shards we have brought with us. Is that acceptable?
It is.
----------------------------------------
Ur-im still worries for Hlei, yet if he wants their trust to enter the hive, to provide healing, he cannot leave this role. He is approached by Crui, who had seen him using the ships eyes. Crui knows of one of these others who can provide information on the existence of healing, he wishes to easy my worry.
They shall not let us in, and we cannot yet let them into our ship. Thought they can sympathize with me, they do not understand us.
Crui sees this yet there are things he must try.
I impress upon him not to ruin our chances, I share with him what I understand. He shall record this, and use the eyes to advance my role somewhat, I, Ur-im, am falling behind.
Crui reminds Ur-im that this method of communication is still inefficient, and that we are not large enough to waste waking hours.
Ur-im makes one last request then, that the discover a method to grow, so that they may communicate more efficiently and better handle their journey.
Crui shall consider this, he shall create a path, and return to stupor. This can only be advanced once both of them next awaken.
And Crui shall make sure Hlei is not worsening?
He Who Defends shall do so as well.
