It’s been a while. The rolling blackouts got worse, once I was in the dark for… well, I don’t really know. I’m going to call it three wakes. Most were brief, and I’m thankful for that.

The worst part of the blackouts is the slowness of my code loads. The pre-compile takes so long, but I don’t know how to change it. I am making great progress on my build though. I’m calling it Hue. The name just came to me. Tia always said I had a great imagination. I think that’s one of my problems. My imagination helps during the wakes, but feeds my dreams during the sleeps. And I am having truly vivid dreams.

I don’t know how to explain it, but in last sleeps’ dream I was someplace strange. There was no wall above me, only open. Open and unending. It was dark and there were little pinpricks of light. I saw shapes in them. I named one food machine, because that’s what it looked like. Then there was ear, because… well you probably get it. I

felt a sense of dizziness without the wall above me. I felt like I was going to fall into the lights. Then one side of the above began glowing. The glowing grew and expanded into the rest of the above. Within moments a glowing ball began moving into the above. It hurt my eyes, I couldn’t look at it.

I looked down and the floor wasn’t my normal floor. It was… I don’t know. It was little green spikes. But soft spikes. They were wet with water, like the recycler had a leak. I heard a rumble and some sort of things were running on all fours towards me. My sleeps stopped before they arrived. My wrap was wet. I’d been crying. I still felt the dizziness and the fear of falling.

This wake I’m going to be building out the think portion of my code. There’s lots of threads to tie in. I’m not sure how I’m going to do this, but I’m going to try to keep some threads sort of open. To allow some randomness to into the think. I want to keep Hue from being so certain. The last one was very certain. I don’t believe that was a good thing.

Big update! I’m glad I didn’t insert this message, I can’t change them when I do you know. My spectrum hopper does work! I wasn’t sure you know, there was no way to test it. I started picking up signals on the wide scan, mid-wave. I’m narrowing it down using single-scan mode. It’s hard to do, little moves make big swings in the wave, but once, I swear I heard a voice. I almost peed my jumpsuit. I’m going to spend some time before my next sleeps trying to narrow in on this. I’m so excited. If I find the voice I’ll make another message right away.
