We'll see what conditions will look like on the ground

It's been long enough since the last worm that I might disappear any minute now because sudden worm so if I stop texting that's why btw

godspeed. the nice thing about the phase in which I can text is that I can juggle more conversations at once, don't worry about me

He peers at that.

"What does 'godspeed' mean? Is it a religion thing?"

"Huh? No, it's, like, 'good luck'. Or something. I don't know why."

"Oh. Huh."

I have now learned a new word!

Was it "juggle"?

No, 'godspeed'

Ah. It just means that I wish you well in your endeavors but I imagine it came from, like, "go as fast as God could go", or something? Which you are in rare company in being able to do

I'm still speed-of-light limited!

I have been an atheist all my life but if I fold up an imaginary paper hat labeled Has Meaningful Theology Opinions I might opine that if God didn't want to be speed of light limited he should have reconsidered the speed of light before instantiating it with such force

he could cheat with all kinds of tricks to not be much inconvenienced by speed of light limitations

And

HELLOOOOOOOOOO IT IS WORM TI-

—he supposes he is not writing the rest of that message.

Alt: get fucked and die, asshole.

When Traceless returns to the silo, Flywheel is sitting on the floor.

"...hi. Backlash check?"

She frowns in concentration.

Then she pinches the back of her hand and makes a face.

"Seven." 

"Okay, well, I am here to fix that." Shirt off. June keeps her silo cold but this one isn't. "Cricket might want to come here and pass out on me, he doesn't need guiding but he does need cat amounts of sleep and they've had him in and out of Crystal Catacombs all day, I don't expect you to produce an opinion on that right now but if you do have one I can tell him. He's not nice to most people but I can have him leave you alone."

She does not produce an opinion on this, no, but she can take off her shirt when he does. (She's supposed to try to be proactive.)

"Is the floor better for some reason or would the bed work for you?"

"Floor isn't better." She gets up and can follow him bedwards. 

Spoon time. He'll be the little spoon so he has his hands free to read things on his phone.

"...do you want to make out?", she asks after a while.
