One thing I noticed about the memory compression method of She Who Preserve Through Stupor is that a single shard holds less information, and yet the storage method is more efficient.

There is no distinction in the role of He Who Knows Where Things Are. It is a very specific term, that does not even include the details of the role. It is as it is defined. With little to no context at all. For lack of a better way of explaining it, there is no cultural context in the idea. It could be one of us, it could be an enemy, it could even be a well-trained fish. Most thought and concepts are one thing a single symbol. No potential, no, if's or then's. a letter is.

And no context existed with location and order of letter other than a simple order of reading. It also makes it somewhat slower, as it must be decoed in a specific way.

Even the young don't think like this this was intentional.

But I reach to her again, Inquiring, in simple thought. is it okay that I am doing this?

And for once I understand her response: It is, these memories are preserved as is She Who Sleeps. To be seen and used at a later date.

It is interesting that this one doesn't understand direct compresion.

It loses a lot of detail.

It is a known feature of the hive, memories that better survive. Is there one who records?

There are some that duplicate, one or two that transfer. But they are few, they are of the missing roles.

She does not seem to comprehend the idea of a missing role but...

Missing roles?

A role that is...

Is the hive complete?

In a way, but they are dying...

Can they not heal?

The healers are gone and their shards unreachable.

I feel her panic, her worry, but than... relaxation, no determination.

She thinks, sharing as much as she can with me.

Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on the original website.

We cannot take our time being efficient and slow. Your absorption of this and my adaptation to your communication must be accelerated, the hive is dying a slow death. Her kind are dying a slow death. And her purpose is to prevent that.

She is know...

I didn't understand that last part.

We have much to work on.

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

She Who Flies is left with a an important role, she needs to make sure that everyone in the hive is getting fed. But is that really necessary, some need reminding sure, but most interactions lead those around them to notice and the guides.

Wait there is there who delivers parcels, he brought food as well. He could make use of this. So to get back to what I've been doing. Well, first Wur should contact She Who Remembers, They Who Remember War need to be balanced out by someone with more perspective.

But where could She Who Remembers Be? Wur would deliver food as she followed these paths, and Wur.

Wur needs to think.

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

She Who Wishes To Heal saw her fellow young, her hivemates, her siblings, were taking damage in their lives, in their development. In their choosing of roles. In all this they are taking damage. She Observes This and yet. She cannot help.

They shall recover in stupor. But they are young, they do not have much they cannot store this. And when they rest and when they wake, and when they become their chosen roles. They have not the memory room to preserve this forever.

And it hurts.

She reaches to She Who Remembers. She knows of the need of these missing roles but what can she do to become She Who Heals?

And she who Remembers responds only with sorrow. There is little that can be done for that. Their shards are not accessible, and there is no-one left to teach her.

She should observe injury, she should learn of stupor and of the processing of food. She can observe traps and how damage is formed to prevent that. But there is no direct path towards that missing role.

And here She Who Flies, no Wur reaches out to them. And is brought into communication.

There is a request, She Who Remember should visit They Who Remember War, they will assume one of them summoned her, and give her a voice in their descisions.

That is all well and good, comes back from She Who Remembers, and the young are choosing their roles. But She Who Wishes To Heal needs guidance,

Greetings,

and why does She Who Flies carry guilt?

There is another in the hive, one who... She Who Flies pulls back.

Why?

We do not know young one. Wait here a moment.

She Who Remembers leaves.

The wait is painful, for all that cannot be done.

She Who Remembers Returns, and she inquires, Does she wish to heal so much that she would leave her siblings?

She would leave her siblings anyway, when they grow, and when they choose.

Than she should take some time to learn form them, take these shards a shell shall be brought, part empty. And record these memories that make her who she is, and those that make her want to be who she wants to be.

When she who Flies returns with the materials. She shall leave with her, so that she can become She Who Heals.

She, she shall.

And with affection and with a strange sense of loss, She Who Remembers continues on her way.

And though the emotion worry her, they soon fade away in her interactions with her siblings.
