[redshiftnpc]

[The entry opens with a soft, sweet, high-pitched voice that will be familiar to those who'd explored the ruins of the spaceship in the wastelands, or anyone who'd heard her suggestions during the item swap or over the past week or so while people have been coming down more sick. She's humming a bouncy little song, at first almost absently, and then with a bit more spirit and energy. After a few moments of humming, the voice trails off into a soft 'mmmm' before she goes quiet.]

Good morning cats and kittens. Have you all been resting up? I hope so.

[Another few little hums, and a laugh, but when her voice comes back, it's sombre, with a harsher edge to it.]

I sure hope you have. You're all gonna neeeeed it.

[Another little laugh, more breathy this time.]

You have a big problem, and I'm here to help. But you have to help me first.

[When she finishes, her voice is much softer.]

I just want you all to live.

What you gave me was a necklace belonging to a madman! He threatened me the moment I tried to give it back!

[redshiftnpc]

Well, that was rude!

[She sounds genuinely offended on Carlisle's behalf.]

I don't get it, I'll never get it, I don't understand how humans can treat each other like this. Or maybe he wasn't human? I get these things so mixed up sometimes...

[abheirrant]

It's not about being human. It's about you giving people things that don't belong to them. Maybe he didn't want anyone knowing about that necklace. Maybe—

Wait. Did we all get something?

[redshiftnpc]

Oh. I thought...

Well I'm sorry, Carlisle. I didn't realize I was doing it wrong.

[A pause, and then an abrupt laugh. It's not an entirely pleasant laugh.]

Of course! I wouldn't only bring some of you presents! I'm not a monster!

[abheirrant]

I didn't get anything.

[And frankly, he's not sure he wants anyone to find anything of his in the first place.]

[redshiftnpc]

You didn't? But I brought you something, I know I did.

[abheirrant]

If you wanted me to have something, you'd have brought it to me directly.

[redshiftnpc]

Were I capable of that, I would.

[abheirrant]

And why aren't you?

[redshiftnpc]

I can speak, but I can't touch. It's frustrating, it's so frustrating, it makes me crazy.

[abheirrant]

You can't touch, yet you were able to bring us gifts.

[redshiftnpc]

I can speak, and there are many things to speak to here besides people. I can ask the net to bring things from the wasteland, but I have no control over where it puts them.

[abheirrant]

Things from the wasteland? What're our things doing in the wasteland? Is that where you got these things?

[redshiftnpc]

Everything that arrives here goes to the wasteland first, and there are systems in place to prioritize. Obsessed with life signs, constantly chattering about life, until I talked to them about things.

[abheirrant]

So what was it you found from my world, then?

[redshiftnpc]

The concentrated precursor to life. Seeds.

[abheirrant]

Seeds. You brought me seeds.
