Under a Starless Sky

Chapter 92

It was dark. Sophia could see, as she was a walking breathing tricorder, embedded in a suit. She turn the illumination up in his suit, making him the source of light in the room.

“Wait,” Jon said, but it was too late. The room filled his eyes. “I was trying to see.”

“In the dark? You have a skillset I am not aware of?” Sophia asked.

“It was dark all the time hear. I learned to see in the dark,” Jon said.

“I accept the possibility that your experience was real to you. The memories you hold may be accurate, but this body didn’t build the neural pathways to support that skill. Knowledge and abilities are two different things,” Sophia said.

Jon sighed into it. The air was okay, but it had a flavor he couldn’t identify. He approached the alter. It looked strange in the light he cast, its shadows moved as he did. There was a stone before the alter. A Torchlight was attached. He touched it. No response.

“Hello?” Jon said.

“Its capacitor is likely drained. I could charge,” Sophia said.

“Proceed,” Jon said.

There was a stirring of air and he had a sudden twinge of hope.

“I lived the better half of a life here,” Jon said. “With you.”

“With me?” Loxy asked. She saw the Torchlight, christened ‘Solarchariot.’ She embraced him.

“It wasn’t just a dream,” Jon said.

A capacitor kicked on and the Hall of Ghosts illuminated around them. They separated, but held hands.

“TL?” Jon asked.

No response.

“It could take moment for all the systems to reboot back up,” Loxy said.
