O.1.16

The creatures see you, then your Connexus. They look at each other. You recognize the same work in their bodies. They were made in the same dome that created your twin. They approach, wary but open. They throw you a bundle of uncorrupted mealworms. One of them eats a few, then offers the rest to your Connexus.

Food ⇧

One of them grabs another worm from the ground and punctures it with a large needle. This one is blackened with corruption. It squirms until the poison locks its body still. They point to the corrupted worm. Bad. Then to the living mealworms. Good. They never say the words. You understand them anyway. You feel them trying to establish a deeper connection through your Connexus.
