The door of the central shuttle opens. It’s SISTER SAN, now the representative of an entire market share of Wavyverse nodes. DR WONG surprised, then frowns at AVA.

Chalice Wong. Would you recommend the Destiny BOB to prepare a person for a good life?

I recommend - being born with one - so it feels like it’s always been a
part of you.

And if it were applied midway to a life, like The Orlando Study?

It’d feel like a demon who does your life better than you.

Wait. If I may restate your question -
SISTER SAN gestures AVA to not interrupt.
SISTER SAN
SISTER SAN
Interesting. <Nods surprised> Yes. We can imagine skipping over the tedious parts of growing up. Could free a person to be a more active node in a sister network.

That’s not what BOB’s designed to - AVA silences DR WONG with a look. They’re unaligned.

We know you’ve been away Chalice. Permadroned. Didn’t that trouble

Chalice. You’ve completed your destiny and officially “arrived”. What now?
CHAIRMAN AVA

A beautiful question. What now?
CHALICE looks at DR WONG, who still looks away. She looks down at herself, scanning. Blank. She notices what looked like freckles on her hand are tiny pin scars. She sees more marks on her feet rising up her ankle. She begins to hum.

I want to - step on - more bugs. <Hum> And loan - loan my feet sensations to the feet-less. <Hum> Then. I want to drop - burning waves into my leg - to know what - <Hum> - the solarnauts must have felt... <Pins self> I was thinking about reconnecting with some of BOB’s troubles. I - had dogs - and - an ex-vitro - that are a problem. I should include them in the memoir. And Alan. Is that his name? Yea.. <Pins> I’ve given read/write access of my left arm to the Peace Patrol. And <Pins> right hand access to the Empathics Bounty League. Maybe they can help track down my classic mom. I should sort out those subscriptions. I mean they’re profitable. I’m thinking about changing my name again. I have a new wavecast idea. I want to refactor 1000 Lives but only for people who volunteer their life log. Oh - I found this turtle. I haven’t thought of a name yet...

CHALICE shows everyone the retracted turtle. Painful silence. DR WONG now looking at her, curious.
