To Meet One's Heroes

by R&D Officer Lio L. Levon

"...odn't hitnk I liwl erev etg sdue ot htat..."
 
I've visited another world.
 
This world was high up, above the clouds. The people there were squirrel-like, and there were many of them. It was a world that... we in a big way, were responsible for. They had B+'s notes, and from those, they created a civilization with our technology... or at least the best they could. It was amazing to witness, how prosperous they were. What was a bit less so was how they saw us.
 
To them, we were as gods. It was frightening to be thought of that way. I don't think I deserve that kind of worship or recognition, not even a fraction of that... But to see them happy, I couldn't get myself to break their spirits or hopes. I helped Quet do their studying while seeing to the people there who spoke to me.
 
The group went down to check the anomaly and.... Well, somehow they brought it to Liminal, nearly destroying the Word Tree. Were it not for Chatterfang's skills, we may have very well lost all of the memories ever written down... a terrifying thought to think about...
 
The Anomaly, in the end, was removed from their world, and they can return to things being peaceful. We somehow returned with a veritable Mountain of silver, and a new engine, though its glow is... strange to me. Perhaps the product of another world doing their best at replicating the engine? Regardless, what we have for the Submarine's rebuilding is here, and aside from small things here and there for us to look for, the work can begin apace.
 
It is time I get serious and really focus on the Submarine now. There's work to be done.
