tell me what the rain knows
[A cloaked woman - Meredith, from the voice - steps onto the Plane.] Roe.
[Roe is currently seated on one of the pillars near the black hole. She is unaffected by the gravity of it and just tapping away at the screens floating around her.] You're not going to ask me to stop it, right?
[Meredith tilts her head up to get a better look, and in the light of the stars below her, you can almost see her eyes.] Can you?
Probably not. The Machine is unpredictable when it gets into these 'moods.' [Roe shrugs.] It's not my problem.
[Meredith lowers her head again.] Is there anything you can tell us about what will happen?
[Roe pauses and waves her screens away, laughing.] Sure. What goes around comes around. Do you get it?
Yes. You make yourself sound very cruel. [Meredith's blank expression is just visible under the shadow of her hood. But for just a moment, she sounded sad.] It seems an odd way of dispersing energy. If you find a way to stop it, we would appreciate you doing it. If not...
[With a sigh, Roe pushes off the pillar - though she never once touches it - and lands next to Meredith.] See what happens when you're as old as me. [But she does pause.] I'll think about it. You know how the Machine gets when it has you, though.
Not personally. Thank you for speaking me. [And instead of offering a hand, Meredith bows.]
[Roe waves it off, which is actually polite for her. Then she turns and walks into the black hole, disappearing. Meredith vanishes a moment later.]
