Next to him on the couch is... a large blanket hovering in midair, wrapped around something that appears to be some kind of... something. The huge, invisible something shifts its weight and then the blanket curves around:

[ Interesting pet you have there. Not that she can talk, with her spider dog friend. ]

Yeah, it was in the news. These glowing orbs showed up in the baseball diamond and they're all on show in the Towers.

I guess they're snowglobes that show you pictures from home?

Um... sort of? You shake it and it shows a picture of a place from home. You shake it again and the picture changes.

If you really want to know, you could actually go to the Towers- you know, where all the Newcomers show up?

How quaint. But no, I need know nothing further than that. If I wish images from home, I need look no further than my memory.

Well.. your choice, I guess. I hear some people like the chance to really see it in a- a more real sense than memory.

[ NuuUuuUuuUuuUu ToT ]

A memory is just a real is it not? These orbs, surely all they are memories as well. How else would they be capable of conjuring up such things?

I don't know, something with the Core? I just figure it's worth checking out. There's something different about seeing versus just remembering.
