There is a figure sitting in the dark looking whistfully out the window. Bar has provided a very big pair of sunglasses, but even then that might not be enough to combat the headache of epic proportions that John Preston is fighting.

He might look familiar. Then again? He might not.

[fathers_cleric]

An irritated look crosses Preston's face, but it passes quickly. Hell, since he's been here...

"....How will you stop it?"

[sime_channel]

"I'm just going to point people where it is. I don't know how they're going to stop it." She's not trying to be difficult! She's just...lost. Always.

Preston offers a slow nod, "...Won't that be dangerous for you? I mean...is there any way to track it without using another person?"

He frowns, "....People getting hurt in any operation is a bad idea."

[sime_channel]

"Yes, it will be dangerous. That's why I'm bringing Richard? To protect me? That's what he does. Protect people." She's sort of blank-faced at him, "I'm no lorsh."

[fathers_cleric]

"As long as you have someone to help you."

Preston frowns, "I didn't mean that you'd require help, I was trying to be polite."

His face fizzles again into a confused expression, "What's a Lorsh?"

[sime_channel]

"I do need someone to help." She says in a matter of fact tone, "A lorsh is someone who would abandon a friend to Changeover. It's the worst word my language has."

[fathers_cleric]

Ah, see, different species of human...

Preston's mouth opens again, his teeth visible, "....What is changeover?"

[sime_channel]

"I wasn't born Sime." She says with a sniff, "Nobody can tell until they're in puberty what they're going to be, Sime or Gen. Sime need help when they go through Changeover and develop tentacles and a selyn processing system...or two if they're channels, ronaplin glands and a whole bunch of things that you'll never be able to understand because you don't have the biology for it. Gens go through Establishment, but it isn't dangerous on its own."
