Found this in a derelict node. It still pulses. Thought you'd appreciate the symmetry.

You wasted power to render this?
After what we all talked about the other day?!
You could've used that power to search through the municipal archives.
16:36:09 Nihei
It's memory.
Besides, the power was already flowing. I rerouted a fraction.
The system didn't even blink.

I'm tired of arguing this with you. We're trying to preserve the few of us who are left. Not sit around stargazing at bullshit.

I think you forget what bears preserving. Persist as you will, so will I.
