*Nothing investigates them, though as the sun rises I wake to it, groggy as I look around.*
What was that?

<Snipped quote by Balance>

*Doesn't notice, still half asleep.*

@Stabby

Rise and shine, sleepyhead.

Hey, don't blame me. I just got here.

@Balance

I'm not used to waking up with someone nearby, even if they did just arrive.
*Stands up and brushes myself off, the wolf turning to shadows and sinking into my body again.*
So what are you doing here? I thought it would take you a good while before you were done.

@Stabby

It will. But I found a goldmine of history in this city, so I've been exploring it more carefully. If there's one electronic library still working, there might be more, maybe even a way to connect to what broken down satellite network this planet might still have.

@Balance

Wait what!? You found a functional E-library!?
*Though louder than normal, I'm not shouting as I say this, and am clearly interested.*

@Stabby

Yeah. Thanks to that I'm almost completely done with my paper on this planet.

@Balance

Can I see it?

[Balance]

<Snipped quote by Balance>

Can I see it?

@Stabby

Yeah, sure. Mind if I bring a friend of mine along, too? Also a planet-hopper.

@Balance

It's not like I could stop you, so go ahead.

@Stabby

Hey, you'd be surprised. *Pulls out a phone and calls Kelly*

@Balance

Probably, but that runs the risk of not being able to see the E-library.

@Balance

Hello?

[Balance]

<Snipped quote by Balance>

Hello?

@Host

Hey--you know how I go around exploring planets and stuff? I found a fun one, if you're interested in abandoned cities and notoxic fumigation.

@Stabby

A good risk not to take.

@Balance

Sounds dangerous.

[Balance]

<Snipped quote by Balance>

Sounds dangerous.

@Host

Only a little bit.

[Host]

<Snipped quote by Host>

Only a little bit.

@Balance

Is this a ploy?
