Chapter 155

  I figured it out… at least I think.

  I wasn’t exactly sure how the elder who came up with this thing figured it out but it’s one tricky fucker I’ll tell you that.

  I was periodically testing what I had with elder.

  Fortunately It told me where I could find one of its roots.

  Usually it just contacted from somewhere around buttons for some reason but the tendril it told me about was somewhat in between the tendril I had going straight to buttons and the rest of me.

  About 20 of the times I tried the modified nodule on elder failed, but the 21st one showed me I was on the right track and motivated me to continue forward.

  Finally around 40th try when I made the attempt to talk to elder I was surprisingly inundated with meaning.

  Looked like being on the delivering end of the translation node gave you more information than you might’ve expected.

  When I sent out the test phrase, “hello elder how are you?”

  I abruptly received elder’s meaning instead of the words I was expecting.

  On the surface I got the feeling that elder was primarily okay overall but underneath, it was feeling a bit stressed and cautious and sorrowful.

  And with each emotion I gained just a bit of an understanding of why it felt this way.

  A mix of emotions hit me and these didn’t come from elder, they came from me.

  Oh fuck me.
