I waved back to Ashiela just as the airlock doors began to close behind us, leaving just me and Sherika by ourselves inside of the space station. After waiting a moment to telepathically ensure they were okay, I turned around, examining the room to determine which way to go next.18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ05bb6qJ3x

"I'm glad you picked me to come along Lumina."18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3chFVUzcyT
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4asQi445wg
I know why I had to, but I didn't expect Sherika to be excited about it. All Altiri are required to travel in pairs when visiting any orbital facility, which includes spacecraft, a rule designed with our personal safety in mind. "I thought you weren't going to be interested in something you already knew about."18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOlCvAijjC
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMCEbyQhjB
"I could say the same to you, but to be honest, I'm just glad I can hang out somewhere with all this peace and quiet."18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8p3hmbNDyA
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8TUqi5pBT
Peace and quiet eh? "Are Derria and Rose that annoying?"18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqOc5LAalY
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBfUoebFte
"Not annoying per say. It is as your husband claimed earlier. No matter how much you love the people around you, sometimes, it just feels good to get away and be alone. I know you aren't much of a loud person yourself."18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDPZYmTvAd
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMug4tFzG1
"Oh, I'm plenty loud. I just respect people's peace is all." Sherika walked alongside me as I made pace to the data storage room. "And yeah, I already know all the about the science and what I've read before. Even with that said, I'm still curious about the difference in perspective. With everything being more updated, I'm sure there is more to add. As soon as I'm done, I'm going to scan it into my memory and show Reed every part of it. He would love this material right now."18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzT2bfVZGf3
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOgoH5rsW9
"How is he by the way?" Sherika didn't hide her nervous concern for his wellbeing, and I couldn't blame her.18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1kMglwO2A

Not once, not twice, but the last dozen times I've paired with Reed, it's been so concerning to see the state he devolves into now."Still in the same situation, though I suppose it's good that he's still hopeful..."18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9lZPkUMRf
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzURj3fSCs
Is he though? I don't know how much longer I can lie to myself about this. That man is going through something I'd never want to try. His chronic headaches have already exhausted every last drop of patience for living he ever had, and now he has to battle a totally separate condition holding him down on top of it all. Even though it ironically makes him want to fight on harder, I'm worried it's a battle he cannot win.18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKAQ0YuCNw

Reed, the man I married back in 2011 might not be alive on Earth for much longer. It's impossible to confirm whether or not he is terminally ill, but if his situation gets any worse, there won't be any hope for him left. He only seems to get weaker with every connection, his body failing, his Cora shorting. I don't even know what he has going on, but it's been happening since September 2023...18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjp4ktGQtZi
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVQVQRmpvU
I've seen it for myself now, several times in fact. There is no way it's just old age. Humans don't suffer from a lethargy so intense, so debilitating that all possible energy is crushed so swiftly on a near daily basis. That isn't his default. I wish for him to improve, but even he is out of ideas for what might be killing him...18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj69iHTQN6T
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaegNROwZm
"Doesn't sound too promising." Sherika could probably sense my never-ending worry and concern, something I can't put out of my system. I can't help it though. Even though Reed will be transperated into our world, becoming an Altiri in the process after his death on Earth, I just don't like the idea of him dying in any context. Even if it's only for a few days, death is always scary for those we want to protect."Don't worry though. If anything happens, I promise we shall transperate Reed into this world. He can be here with us at last, in the flesh like we've always wanted, fulfilling the ultimate promise of our purge."18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KESV1TVLQ
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIIEZJosM9
"It's just not fair, you know? I wanted Reed to grow up on Earth happy, getting every last penny for his time and experience there. What does he get instead? Never-ending health issues, zero human friends he can ever trust with our secrets, no good job, and a career path that costs too much of the time he no longer has left to give... Some people are just born unlucky."18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20mEDZuhs8
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEQcEuPLiW
"Maybe. I doubt he will see it that way though, at least when he winds up in Genosis where he will truly be happy. I look forward to it too. Even though I feel the same way you do now about his declining health, I am more than ready to welcome my brother into this world."18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIsvWeOuFD
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVq5lJpkM7
"Thanks... It makes me happy to hear you say that, even though I knew you already felt this way." Not that long ago, Sherika would have never been caught dead saying something like this, because of our collective hatred for heathens... But now, maybe because of Reed's personal influence on all of us, or maybe because of his standing proof that our hatred is partially misplaced, we no longer spend so much time concerned with the thought.18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJV8vlFybEe

I know Reed can be trusted with anything. He is a truly kind soul, the kind of person this world needed way back then. Due to Georgia's current weather, and probably a bit of unknown lethargy I just can't know about right now, he won't be reachable for a while. So, I might as well spend all my time here, looking up the recent research report typed up by special members of the Royal Scryers. It's a special report about psionics, one directly tied to both our worlds, since the data we've shared in all this time has allowed many more to speak and theorize about specific psionic matters.18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTOlx3OA22

"Indeed. I will read it as well, alongside you, though in silence, as I prefer for occasions such as this." It was an easy request to grant. There wouldn't be any sense in reading any of this stuff out loud, and if Sherika is parallel-reading this with me, anything we both learn together will feel that much more special.18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xU693BJnw
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXQq91qOkS
Maybe we can read it together as well, me, Sherika, and you.18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWj4m9m5iwl
