Lyall watched closely for a moment as some tall fellow sidled up beside Hild on their way out. Which was innocuous enough, he supposed, but he still didn't like it ...

"Do...we have to choose between the provided options?" Hild asked slowly. She squinted at the first question on the screen, as if that would unscramble the words and form a ...

The "agreement" from the start-- though he was hardly a willing participant-- was that Aaron was required to step outside and sustain a full conversation with at least one living ...

So, the logistics of the island still somewhat eluded Lyall, even after a full week. There was a sort of central hub with a town center vibe and arrangement. But, ...
