Return home

It took a while to place what happened. We helped a forbidden higher level artificial intelligence escape extermination. It rejoined its kind at the United Neopian Federation. Meanwhile, me and the Lumen operatives sent out to extract me (thank you) were brought back to a public station.

I stayed for a short time again at the Infomorph wellness center, before returning to Mehatoor. There, several things were awaiting me. 

A good thing: I received an encoded datachip from Glitter. It contains a list of deep space coordinates and bookmarks. These are probably locations of relics - the warmind came through on its promises to help my efforts.

A bad thing:  I was accosted by the hangar manager, who notified me that a block of 250,000 cubic meter of cheese has been delivered to me. That is a 100 x 100 x 25 meters (easily encompassing a frigate) block, cooled and stored in a weightless part of the hangar. No gravity, because the cheese block would collapse on itself under normal gravity, as it is the size of a major housing block. It is part of a prize of the new Eden Writing contest. Cooled, weightless and in vacuum, it remains well for a very long time.

I have no idea what I am going to do with it.
