Synergy spent all of her time in the corridors of the Shee Ark now. She still ate when she was hungry and still smiled broadly when all of her needs were met.
Though she did make a few trips here and there, she always seemed to come here, to this elevator. I wasn’t able to watch her very closely, but I did wonder if there was some significance in this place for her.
Solitary norns were starting to crop up more frequently. Logic complained of loneliness but hadn’t moved away from the plums since he was a baby. I guess, despite them all having very similar genomes, some still had their preferences. Perhaps some just didn’t like the prospect of being around norns that they strongly disliked? Who knew. It’s not as though I’d be able to ask.
Still other norns, like little Anai seemed to enjoy the company of others. Come to think of it, nearly all of the norns seemed to like being around others and even made small groups with each other. Chang and Adelphos spent most of their time together, Daedalus and Kerplunk had become friends and Drake didn’t move around much, but he liked a lot of norns. I guess he figured lying in the middle of the Norn Terrarium made it easy for him to talk to everyone and every once in a while, an apple would fall down for him to eat anyway.
