Chapter 37. Wait, I think I feel like hell

[thebestseller]

What the hell is going on? Genius and I just got out of the elevator and it looks like this place has gone to hell in a handbasket.

Is everyone alright?

Just how long were we gone?

Bastet's hurt? Damn. I won't press for more details; sounds like this isn't really the time to ask.

So it's all a farce? Just some big special effects show? Wonderful. Guess it's better than the real thing, but still...

... damnit. I knew they had to disappear sooner or later.

Appreciate it.

It is better said in person. Any of the Guards or Greeters can tell you what they know.

We are not yet superfluous. It is as it was when there were so many sudden appearances - we tour the habitable areas in search of newborns. It is rather less organized than the previous arrangement. Sometimes hours pass before they are found.

I understand, thank you.

That sounds about the only way that works now if people are appearing all over, yes. I'll get back to work as soon as I can, if they're still appearing.

Very well. As they do not appear soaked in fluid, the way they are most easily identified is through their lack of clothing. Do not be alarmed should you find one unexpectedly.

Of course. I've gotten good at helping people preserve their modesty.

I do, however, feel concerned that perhaps some will appear and be attired in what the Sphere has chosen. Surely such people would ask questions and so expose themselves as new...
