[Audio] Monday, late morning

[professorwolf]

[After setting Steve Rogers on his way (or letting him stay at the apartment until he got his bearings, whatever) and collecting a fresh set of clothes, Lyall has some catching up to do and, first, a question for the network.]

Ah, good morning, this is Lyall. Does anyone know if something drastic changed with the ship? While I was aboard, I felt essentially human. No sense of smell or hearing, no feeling of general agelessness, nothing. Did someone reactive something on there?

[He completely bypasses the whole "I totally died" thing, for now. And, of course, he's unaware of the troubles they've been having here....]

Longer than any of us. She left that ship when she was just a little girl, or so I gather. She doesn't talk on the network much, and when she does, she is generally saying something cryptic but important. That message last night, however, was a bit of an anomaly. She is rarely that clear. I am left to wonder if it was really "her", at all.

Ah. She called herself a "construct" but I don't really know what that means either.

Generally, it means something constructed, like an automaton or perhaps something genetically modified. Those bone creatures reminded me of a construct in some ways. They are hardly natural, after all.

But the that venerable woman calling herself a construct likely is not related to those, in particular. I do wonder what she meant... perhaps I should see if she would speak with me. I have attempted to parse her sayings in the past with some success.

She wasn't very forthcoming, but she seemed to want to help us. Perhaps it will help that she knows you.

Perhaps, though I believe she knows more about many of us than she lets on. It is merely that she can only communicate obliquely... through metaphor and coming at things at an angle.
