[Fandaniel is walking through Aldrip with no real destination in mind, thinking dark thoughts.
Souls here can be lost, he thinks. If the corruption in the AI's data returns, they may all lose their souls and become fully one with this wretched simulation.
....A decent Ascian would destroy the simulation before that could happen, he thinks. Yes, that's--
A voice calls to him from nearby... An achingly familiar voice.
Fandaniel looks up and sees a face peering in his direction through the branches of a tree. For a moment, he weighs his choices, then decides being foolishly reckless is more fun.
He steps forward, fully revealing himself, and smiles up at the face of Zenos viator Galvus.]
My liege!
I must admit, I am surprised that our keeper managed to ensnare a man of your formidable strength.
Do you require assistance getting out of that cage?
