章 460: Shadow Beckoning

Raijin faded back as the rest of the council continued their arguments. Many certainly wanted them to push forward despite the darkness, while the others simply wanted to disappear into it.

No-one wanted to die, of course. But for some, the struggle was already insurmountable.

She herself didn’t know which way to go. At first she believed they could weather Godeater, and survive between its shadows. But now? Now she wondered if Yggdrasil was the only thing left to them. Maybe they should all be preparing for that reality.

As she quietly thought to herself, an alert came into her DI - someone was activating one of the devastator hangar bays. When she brought up the ship’s tags, immediately saw that it was Thanatos.

Raijin left behind a semi-autonomous construct of herself at the chamber, then sunk down into the station herself. Her consciousness sped through the various circuits and nodes in the blink of an eye, from the chamber all the way to Thanatos’ hangar bay.
