[IC] Myriad Reality

[The Odeoron]

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

The concept of a homunculus is even more chilling, isn't it?

@Memory

Sure... for you maybe... Listen, before this whole crazy ride i happen to be dragged along ever since you came around, i was a materialist pragmatist. Plain and simple. Magic was mad talk, especially considering that my powers were made in a literal laboratory! Then when i got zapped to the future, i thought a Martian must have done it. Turns out now that Gods and Magic and Unicorns actually are real.

That said, Homunculi are merely a term used for a kind of creature that doesn't even mean is alive. The skill i learned in heaven was how to create actual life out of minerals and liquids and magic.

*Slides my own glass back toward myself, picks it up, and takes my first swig*
In that case, it’s been a pleasure.

@Armed Forces

Always. I'll go make that call.
*Stands up and exits through the main door, waving once without turning around*

@The Odeoron

The idea that other universes would have their own mechanics for souls, consciousness, and so on should make you pause. Because that implies it wouldn't transfer nicely.

*It seems to consist of warped spacetime with punctured holes scattered throughout its interior*

@Dynamics

*floods every single hole with amaranthine, triggering the amaranthine to expand once in the hole*

*Hours later, arrives at the tavern*
Alright! Who called for a doctor?

@Session

*Turns away from the bartender, setting down a glass of water*
I would believe I’m the one, unless you’re another quest taker.

@Armed Forces

It sounds like this is a quest of sorts itself. Can't say I'm not excited.

@Session

You could definitely call it that. Though we’re on a bit of a time crunch, so we can chat on the way.
*Reaches into my coat and drops a hefty pouch of metallic pieces of currency onto the bar*
We can exchange information on the way, if it’s all the same to you.

@Armed Forces

That sounds like a plan.

*Slides the bag toward me*
Let me get you change before you go.

@Session

I hope that everything I’ve been lead to believe about you is true, Lynn.
*Clasps your hand and gives a very quick but firm shake*
I need it to be.

I'll make every effort to exceed your expectations. Lead the way.

*Steps toward the nearest door of the building and opens it*
Worked with the IA before?

Not as an institution. I may have visited a planet or two of yours in the past.

*We step out onto the bridge of a large IA capital ship with its viewport facing a lively world, with many parts of its surface clearly so heavily industrialized that its sprawling urban landscapes can be seen with the naked eye from our place in orbit. Several officers and other staff members are performing various duties around the bridge, with some coming and going intermittently*
Couple things you should know, then. This operation is not confidential, and while that means you’re not obligated at this time to keep any secrets, some aspects could change that in parts. Also, despite that, there aren’t any outside entities active at the moment. No media or anything like that to pester you. It’s not confidential, but it’s also not a spectacle. Would prefer to keep it that way too.

I don't make a big show of my work. What the people do after the fact, well, that part's out of my hands.

*Nods, and continues walking all the way up to the window, looking down at the world*
How much of what I shared with Luke, was he able to share with you?
