Your energy body eats?

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

I don't know exactly what that means.

@Legend

It’s so hard to explain to other people. I’ve never fully gotten it down.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*looks at you*

<Snipped quote by Malevocholy>

*looks at you after and speaks to no-one in particular*
When are we going to leave? I don't want to be here anymore.

@Extra

*Smiles empathetically*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

About what?

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

How much detail do you see?

@Legend

An extreme amount. It’s easy to describe it as sight for convenience sometimes, but to say I feel it is a lot more accurate. I feel the distinct presence of unique matter all around me.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

You thought you died, that’s understandable. It wasn’t my intention to kill us all though, I thought I was removing something that the intruder was trying to get to. I had no idea that it would end up like that, but we are alive…
*looks down*
Yeah… we are the only ones alive now…

@Extra

I understand grief. What it’s like, and what it does to you. I can’t experience it for you, but I can extend my hand in the same way I have to anyone else I can. The world is ready for you when you’re ready for it. When you get there, one step at I time, I’ll take your hand and help you through.

*moves my eyes to look at you for a moment then looks back at the wall*
I appreciate the words of encouragement either way. Also, it sounds like your friend is fine now…

@Extra

She sounds like she’s getting there.
*Rubs the back of my head*
I’m sorry for getting mad at you earlier, by the way. In the lab. Things were so tense…

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*sighs*
Those are nice and encouraging words… but wasn’t what I was hoping to hear.
*wipes my eyes*
Figured since you all are able to naturally do these supernatural feats and travel in such expansive ways, that maybe some of you would know or at least seen something of this scale.

@Extra

I wish I had more for you. I don’t… Deal with this sort of thing. I usually avoid it as much as I can. I don’t have the experience to share, just what I’ve learned from my own loss.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*my brow twitches in frustration with no reaction to the screaming, but I am staring at the wall*
What if you don’t have anyone anymore. What if your world is gone?

@Extra

I’ve-
*Blinks and thinks for a moment*
I’ve never personally experienced loss on that scale, I have to be real. But no matter how much life takes from you- no matter how small your world may feel- you always have yourself. Keep going, keep pursuing anything that feels right to you. The rebuilding will come natural, even if it’s the hardest thing you ever do.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

What about machines to map out territory?

@Legend

I have some machine and computer-assisted tools I use. A lot of it, I went to school for. Isaac helped me out a lot with some custom tools that I can easily use in conjunction with my extra senses. Gives me an edge and makes me a lot faster and more detailed than just about anyone else.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

I didn't realize people asked for that. I guess you can sell anything if you put your mind to it.

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

Since Envy was at the battle, that ship might have sailed.

@Legend

In an imperial republic like the IA, they have all kinds of mechanisms to support expansion. For better or worse. I just am glad that the expansion my work supports helps people.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Right, but what do you do with them?

@Legend

It’s a service that you sell to expeditionary organizations. At least, that’s the way it’s organized as an industry in the IA. They ask me to go chart a place out, I map it for them, note any substantial features or notable resources, and send it to them so they can do more thorough exploration later.
