• I need a drink. A strong one. I left Tellus to get away from sights like that! That poor Nagara, never knew what hit na. - karla #
  • Karla: Take as much time off as you need. -JH #
  • I hope it was just a fluke, and not a pattern. I’ll investigate it today. First, a meal with chronies to clear my head. -Karla. #
  • Karla: Neither Dolores nor I can seem to find your situation report. Can you give an update? -JH #
  • Found a lost Lyricean pup down in the Wrecks. Sending description to Dolores. -Livie #
  • Livie: Don’t return na to nas parents yet, take na by WLK. This pup keeps being found wandering about the city and we want to understand -JH #
  • JH: Understood. I’ll let you know what we can figure out. Maybe get Mam Lix down here too? -Livie #
  • Livie: On my way. -Mam Lix #
  • Found Starl passed out in a vegetable garden in the Heights. I am escorting him to Maslow’s. -Cole #
  • Cole: Any sign of Myrtle? -JH #
  • JH: Actually, yes. Starl seems to be wearing one of Myrtle’s hoses as a bracelet. -Cole #
  • Progress is slow. Lyricean children have an even more limited vocabulary than their parents. -Livie #
  • This does not appear to be an abuse situation. Please dispatch a transport to bring nas parents to WLK. Sending coordinates now. -Mam Lix #
  • Mam Lix: Sent. -JH #
  • The pup’s pod is here. Not too happy with us for interfering, which is slowing down progress more. -Livie #
  • Near as we can figure out it’s some form of sleepwalking. I think it has something to do with searching for a lost twin. -Livie #
  • Livie: It’s been a long day and my shift is almost over. Can you explain it real slow? There’s another missing pup out there? -JH #
  • JH: If I may, I don’t believe it’s a real pup. I think it’s a mythical thing; they kept singing about ‘twins in spirit.’ -Mam Lix #
  • JH: It reminded me of those poor down-downers who spend their whole lives looking for their ‘true band,’ only with sleepwalking. -Livie #
  • So what are we supposed to do when we find nas wandering around lost again? -JH #
  • JH: Good question. -Livie #
  • JH: Unless na’s in immediate danger of being injured or is asking for help, we’re to let na be. -Livie #
  • Livie: If that’s what they want. -JH #
  • JH: As clearly as anyone here can understand them, yes. -Livie #
  • We sent them home in the transport. The young one at least seemed pleased to get to ride in a mediator vehicle. -Livie #
  • Livie: What about the parents? Still angry? -JH #
  • JH: I think we made them easy, but it wouldn’t hurt to have someone visit in a few days and make sure. -Livie #
  • Good work, Livie, Mam Lix. Be sure to file your report, with any WLK documentation, with Dolores. -JH #
  • JH: Will write it over dinner break. … speaking of which, off-duty for a while. -Livie #
  • Back on patrol. -Mam Lix #
  • Livie: I’m going off duty too. Want to meet somewhere? -JH #
  • JH: How out Bamboo Monkey Pizza? -Livie #
  • Be there soon. Off-duty. -JH #
