It looks like glass. The visor I ordered looks a bit retro, but it looks like glass. But it doesn't feel like glass. I mean, to my fingers, sure, all glassy glassness, but the way it feels... Something tells me the atoms are more tightly spaced. Stronger, more adaptable, more efficient and lightweight. I guess Vitrium is the glassio-novus of the glassio-sapiens world. Except there's no silica manifesto looming over every piece of Vitrium making all the other glassware look at it askance...
I'm really babbling now, I'm thinking that inanimate objects can look askance.
Its the sleep deprivation I suppose. But I'm just so certain that I'm so very close to making this thing work. I mean, it's not going to change the world or anything, I'm not creating the next Eufibre, but i genuinely think it can help people. Maybe help George, maybe help the team. I'm sure the Rashoud facility has something that can blow this little Tonka toy out of the water, but i't mine. I made it. I took some vitrium, some eufibre optics and a lot of circuits and made them generate an artificial quantum source! Well maybe not made as in past tense, but it's so very very close.
I'm so very tired... The irony is not lost on me that i'm the only Sentinel that needs to sleep once a week. I should be helping them more. Should be spending more time with Hugh. Should be glaring cryptically at Jenny, should be helping Rick in the 'good fight', should be chilling with Wu Shen, should be smirking knowingly at Craig... Should really be spending more time with Hugh.
Sometimes I think I worked so hard on making sure i wouldn't get hurt again that I turned my heart into stone. But maybe I turned it into vitrium. It's an awful metaphor but i makes a cruel sense to me.
