Evolution from the ashes of extinction

Mechanized Relationship

A week later Horatio was still learning from the scroll, he was getting some rest so that he could still read but he would keep the scroll close and the book in his bag to protect it. Mima peeped in and saw him resting; she came in and brought him some food to switch out the one he already ate. Mima left and went to the cafeteria with the dirty dishes.

Lucinda: How is he?

Mima: Resting, he takes a small rest time to recover his strength so he can keep reading.

Mima hands the dishes to Pure and he washes them up.

Pure: How is he protecting the scroll?

Mima: He has the book in his bag and his tail is on the scroll so that if it moves he would know.

Xiao: Smart, the tail is the most sensitive.

Victoria: Pure, Hardline is coming today.

Alisha: Is he finished with therapy?

Victoria: He is but he has to use a walking stick until he gets used to it.

Alisha: How soon is he coming?

Victoria: A few hours.

Pure: How are we doing with the work around here?

Daiyu: I got the methane calculations and currently building the engine to use it.

Trinity: Any miners that were retired from not drilling anymore to get the methane out and place a hatch to cover it up.

Pure: Have you figured out a way to environmentally replace the methane?

Xiao: I have been looking at the chemicals we are not using and I could make a combination to put in the ground that could substitute for the methane and when combined can be a substitute when kept in the ground.

Pure: Make sure it is precise; I don't want anything blowing up.

Back in the forest everything was going fine, Li, Ana and Niki were helping in the orchard.

Ana: There is another one above your head.

Li: I see it.

Li picks an apple from the tree and places it in a basket he has.

Li: I'm full.

Ana comes up the ladder a bit to grab the apples in the basket. She brought them down and Li came down.

Li: Where's Niki?

Ana: Over there, picking limes and lemons.

Niki had on really long gloves to protect her arms from the thorns. Once she had enough she brought her set over to the pile. Miguel had come to the orchard and said something to Niki.

Miguel: Disfrutándose? (Enjoying yourself?)

Niki: Si. (Yes.)

Miguel: Bueno. (Good)

Li: Hey Miguel.

Miguel: Hey guys, having fun?

Li: Yeah.

Miguel: Well that is good.

Ana: How is Raheem doing?

Miguel: His wound is healing rapidly thanks to the salve.

Ana: Did the tattoo on her back mean they have bonded now?

Miguel: The same thing happened to me when I bonded to Blossom.

Ana: Will we get one?

Miguel: When you do your part in the forest you will earn yours.

Li: What about the people here?
