Maia: oh, you have a sense of hummer, that's good. What do you do when Vethec has no need of you?

-Unknown-: Turns to Synthia and Lucitius Your wife is wise. I'd suggest listening to her a lot more. Also, I usually sit around and do nothing. After all, what's a Pattern Screamer like me going to do in the real world?

Maia: looks at Lucitius of corse I'm a fool. What ells would I be?

Maia: good point. what is a pattern screamer?

Synthia: Stares at Lucitius. Oh, he listens to me, yet he wanders on his own a lot. You should bring me along more often, love.

Lucitius: Looks at Synthia shyly. You only need ask. Glances at Maia and snorts disdainfully.

Synthia: Turns Lucitius back to her. Then I ask it of you.

Lucitius: Chuckles.

-Unknown-: Turns and watches Lucitius and Synthia a moment, a sad smile on his face; after a moment, he turns back to Maia, the smile gone A Pattern Screamer is an AI or other such entity stuck inside a certain piece of code or technology. I do not exist. I am a piece of code in a particle collider.

Maia: huh. pokes Unknown

-Unknown-: His form flickers and distorts around Maia's finger, turning to a bunch of charged particles in the air Yep.

Maia: again, huh.

Maia: did you feel that?

Lucitius: Turns to Unknown. You do exist, else you would not be a Protector, standing where you are, or speaking to any of us. You are simply different, which is not a bad thing.

Synthia: Lucitius does have a point.

-Unknown-: No, I cannot feel that. And Lucitius, it is possible to be like me and be a Protector. Else, how would I do so?

Maia: oooo. looks at Lucitius

Lucitius: Yet, you still exist. It might be outside of what this pitiful existence calls the norm, yet you are here.

Maia: looks at unknown

-Unknown-: Surprised I have never met one such as you, who argues so adamantly for my own existence. He hums Maybe… I do not know. I know I cannot feel, nor can I physically interact with the world around me. I can alter the information, the code of the universe, but otherwise I cannot do what you physical beings do.

Maia: looks at Lucitius to see how he will respond

Lucitius: That is much like the life of the ethereal creatures. I know, for I was born one. Turns ethereal, his form wavering like a soft breeze was being blown through it. He moves his hand to touch Synthia, and it goes through her harmlessly. You see?

Maia: oooh. sneezes sorry.

-Unknown-: Sighs sadly But you know the feelings and sensations of this world, while I do not. That is the biggest difference between us. And besides, ethereal I am not. I am made entirely from the corrupted code of technology. I am an artificial being. I assume you know of the being Techna? He used to be another such being.

Lucitius: I knew not the sensations of corporeality for most of mine life. I made mineself corporeal. And though you may be built of technology, a thing I know little of, I know sorcery, and they combine surprisingly well.

-Unknown-: Stunned, then starts to gain some hope back, which he had lost decades ago Maybe- could you help fashion me a physical body?
