La Bell Vitae

Kernel 1

"When the winds change at noon there is La Bell Vitae. When the hovel dwellers give up their young in hard times there is La Belle Vitae."

Glib Rick

Rusted hulks rest in a gravescape of dry grass. The OVERSEER and his SCAMP appear.

He lays his hand on a Mole Drill Droid and his thoughts meld through his PLASTIQUE. The band is wrapped tightly around his arm and he moves his fingers as is required by the rite.

"|WHAT DOES IT SAY|?"

"It speaks of the Wind; of KIB CEREBELLIAN, and of La Bell Vitae."

"|WHAT OF THE TITHE?|"

"There was no way"

The droid coos quietly. The diode display fades and then sleep eternal.
