Chapter Ninety Four: What A Great Read
the kingdoms never weep.
No one lights a candle to remember.
-- From the song, Requiem, in the musical Dear Evan Hansen.
Another conversation is happening somewhere:
"I can see it too."
"You do? I thought I was the only one. Do you think the book is cursed? I don't know how to explain this phenomena."
"Ssshhhh... the Captain might hear you!"
"Sorry. But I can see the branches of a powerful tree unknown to us!"
"I know. Do you think the Captain cares about sorcerery right now? I don't think so."
"Agreed. Maybe the cyborgs can help? What are these birds? Why do they keep showing themselves to us?"
"I do not know. I really don't. But the cyborgs will care. They have commissioned ships to navigate these dark waters."
"They will care, of course! We need to bring it to them!"
"What are you thinking? Don't tell me..."
"This book has a power of its own, and the Federation will be very interested to peruse it. I know what to do next."
"What?"
"I can read your mind, too."
"We will sell it to them without anyone knowing."
