“There weren’t always dragons in the Valley,” Freya stammered. She stood over a small crude wooden table in the corner of a dingy and crowded dockside tavern, addressing a lithe young man lounging alone with his back to the wall. His only companion was a tankard of foul-smelling ale, which he swirled around in small circles without a word. A single candle cast eerie shadows off his angular face, its flickering light revealing slices of his visage in a random dance. Uncorrupted limestone skin, dark hair, high cheek bones, and black eyes angled down, focused on everything and nothing.

Adam couldn’t breathe. His mobility was also limited, and the laminate film that was usually in the process of receding when he woke was still wrapped tightly around his body. He could see however, and slowly realized his predicament. Adam had reactivated in this metal and glass tube countless times, systematically roused to either conduct his assigned assessments or address whatever conundrum the ships automatons couldn’t handle.
