I met that Riordan girl just before she left: I don't think I could do what she does.

Apparently, she never lets them really get close to her: always promises the world but never delivers.

Hah - maybe I have done that a few times in my life.  Nobody's seemed to be able to keep up with me so far.

Nix seems down, even though we've got the location of the base.  I think he feels guilty about what we did to Dillinger.  Still, we got the information and only Enyo:Nomad vatforms died in the process: that's something at least.

I sometimes wonder how aware vatforms are.  Someone said their form of consciousness was more like an operating system that ran various programs. 

They have this dead-eyed look to them: I found it really creepy when I was younger.  It's just something you get used to.

Shapeforms on the other hand...well, they're just difficult.
