Chromatophage

So….when I got down to the terminal today...half the Spectra was gone. I was wondering why my wings were still glowing when I left. I had to wear a cloak to dinner to hide it. My wings are still glowing from yesterday as I’m writing this in my room, actually. I don’t remember drinking that much of the Spectra.

I was able to control myself and not drink any of the Spectra today. Not that I needed to do it since, you know, my wings have now been glowing for almost two days and I can still fly. So that’s what I did.

I went flying because nothing motivates you like being high in the air and being on top of everything. It’s a feeling that just can’t be described. I flew around the mountain, enjoying the sunlight and freedom. Then the guards saw me again. I was still too far away for them to see clearly, but thankfully there were some thick clouds I was able to hide behind. And that’s when i found out something else about this magic.

I can sit on clouds. Just like it’s a chair, I can sit on a cloud. When the guards were gone, I tried fluffing it up like a pillow...and it worked! What the heck is this?!

Then for giggles I sculpted the cloud into some shapes. They weren’t amazing since I’m not a sculptor, but it was something I could do. I gotta get this studied and try to start replicating it.

So I got back to the terminal and threw myself into the materials. The rest of the loose papers really were just organization charts for the company. Who ran what departments and chain of command and those sorts of things. Things not important. Then I went through the Process Manual.

It was painfully dry, but thorough. It detailed every pipe, terminal, conversion process, mixing process, and everything else needed to know to keep a weather factory running. Because apparently our ancestors created the freaking weather! I don’t know why I didn’t glean that from the logo I’d seen on every single sheet of paper. But that makes sense, right? With our pegasus magic, we can fly, manipulate clouds, and I’m sure a bunch of other things.

I wanted to jump right into the final manual for the Pegasus Device, but it was too late. I’m excited. I have an amazing resource for how to process Spectra and tomorrow, I’m gonna find out how to get Spectra!
