>FAST TALKER...SUCCESS.
If anyone is going to have time to question this thing a lot, it's whatever facility bothers picking it. Not like the one with the tar-fuck is the only one you gotta ship them too.
"Look, I'm gonna talk to it, and while I do? Get the cube and get it into position. Hurry."
"Sir, yes, sir!" He nods, trying to keep his voice down. You turn your attention to the sun-orb thing, still making sure you're hiding from it's sight. The moment you open your mouth, Delta (as quickly and quietly as he can) starts rushing back to where you parked your vehicle.
"But how did you get to the top yourself? Were you always there or were you put there? Uplifted, like you claim you want to do for others?" If anything, you should get more information on how it thinks.
<span class="mu-s">"There is a top. I am the top. There is a bottom. You are the bottom. This is the natural order of things. Learn it well."</span> That sounds like what it said a few moments ago. Good thing you're not too interested in its answers.
"Why would a high being like you want us humans on the same level as you?" Yeah, that doesn't make sense. Wouldn't it be the opposite?
<span class="mu-s">"Don't you want to be higher? The chain of being is natural, yes, but it must burden your light to be locked so low, low. Dim your light. Let me replace it."</span>
LISTENTOME You duck your head when you realize that the cover you're hiding behind is <span class="mu-r">slowly being glassed like the house the anomaly is in.</span> You quickly scramble to hide yourself in the shadows where the light hasn't converted anything.
"Still. What purpose do you gain from it, cool sun orb whatever you are?" You wipe the sweat from your brow. Father Above DON'T USE, you don't want to know what happens if the light touches you too long.
<span class="mu-s">"Galen."</span> <span class="mu-r">Your blood goes cold as you hear that name. How in the...?</span> <span class="mu-s">"I simply wish to free you. Don't you want to be free? Dim your light. Quiet your heart. Let me in."</span>
"S-shit, dude, you don't gotta force this onto me. I'm just trying to get, uh, fuck. A better perspective on things?" The light shining in through the slowly widening plane of glass shows the piles of ash coating your boots and pants. Where did all of it come from? donTTHINKABOUTIT
<span class="mu-s">"You are trying my patience. I am the top. You are the bottom. Let me FIX IT."</span> The clattering of gears rings through the air. The air is burning with the scent of rotten glass and ash. <span class="mu-r">It's getting closer.</span>
You're not sure how close, considering getting close enough to check leaves you more exposed to the light LETIT, but it's definitely out of the house now. Shit, shit, where the hell is Delta?
<span class="mu-s">"I shall save you, just as I saved this village."</span> It hurts to breath. The ash, the heat, the light, your chest feels like it's about to burst any second now. Trust in the plan. TRUST. IN. THE. PLAN.
