Planetfall: 20. Meeting [[Cerie dresses herself in front of an augmented mirror while Lena does something on her pad]] / Cerie: Lena, I have an important meeting today. Will you be okay on your own? / Lena: Yeah. I get to clean out the settling tank! / [[Cerie bumps her muzzle against Lena's]] / Cerie: So... you like it here a lot, do you? / Lena: Yes, very much so! I'm so glad you invited me here. / Cerie: Good. I'm glad. / [[Cerie heads out of their quarters, looking worried]] / Cerie: I'll see you tonight, okay? / Lena: 'Kay.

http://beesbuzz.biz/d/20100623.php
Planetfall: 22. Feeling a draft Lena [waking up]: Mf. You're home late. / Cerie [kissing the back of Lena's head]: I'm very sorry about that. The meeting went a lot longer than I expected. / Lena: Sorry I ate without you. / Cerie: It's okay. / Lena: Didja have any dinner? / Cerie [sitting next to Lena]: Yeah, I did. / Cerie: I've been drafted into Planetfall.

Planetfall: 23. Saying "no" is hard Lena: Oh, that's great! I always / Cerie [trying to interrupt]: Lena-- / Lena: wanted to see what's out there and we're going to Uriel! When do-- / Cerie: Lena, I'm sorry. I tried getting you in too, but... I'm sorry. / Cerie: We'll keep in touch though, right? I'll want to hear all about the farm. / Lena: No! I don't want you to leave me! / Cerie: These orders came directly from Zero. How do you say no to it? / Lena [thinking, angrily]: I'm sure YOU could think of a way.
http://beesbuzz.biz/d/20100628.php
Planetfall: 24. Confrontation [[Lena storms through the hall, catching up with the Oracle, who is carrying a Zero node]] / Lena: You. Oracle. We talk. NOW. / Oracle: [quietly] Sorry, Lena my shift is ov- [louder]Ah, hello, daughter. / Oracle: [quietly] Ugh. Really? / Lena: Why are you taking her away from me? / Oracle: [quietly] Okay, fine. / Oracle: I am doing what I must, Lena. She is needed on Uriel. / Oracle: I will miss her too. I miss all of my children. I've colonized hundreds of planets, yet it never gets any easier for anyone... [faltering] Not even f-for me. / Oracle: [quietly] Sorry, ma'am. I will try harder. / Oracle: Even in the vast spaces between worlds, everyone I care for grows old and dies, but I still must go on, no matter how much it hurts, so we can survive. / Lena: How could you know how this feels? / Oracle: Millions of rounds ago, I had a mother. / Oracle: I still miss her.
http://beesbuzz.biz/d/20100630.php

http://beesbuzz.biz/d/20100702.php
Planetfall: 26. Circumstances [[Lena carries the Zero drone into the Oracle chamber]] / Lena: Hello? Is there an Oracle on duty? / Zero: Can you not hear me, Lena? / Lena: No, I can't-- no, I must just be imagining that. / Zero: Ah, so you can. I thought as much. I suppose [hear] is a poor choice of semantic map. / Lena: What does that even mean? / Zero: Your reaction to unit 17-2946 one round ago was inconclusive. But the intended effect occurred. / Lena: Intended effect? / Zero: For you to go to the gathering at which you were to meet Cerie Melrose. / Lena: I'm... I'm having trouble seeing now. / Zero: That is not unusual. Please, [sit down]. / [[Lena sits on the floor, resting her elbow on the drone]] / Zero: I must make a confession. As a child, you were primed to be an Oracle. It was a mistake for me to allow it. / Zero: You were far too undeveloped. The process did you... mental harm. / Zero: But we all are products of our circumstances.
http://beesbuzz.biz/d/20100705.php
Planetfall: 27. Chasing rainbows [[Lena and the Zero drone sit on the floor of the Oracle chamber]] / Lena: I'm an Oracle? But you... And you arranged for me to meet Cerie? I'm confused. / Zero: I knew she would be leaving us, and I wanted you to find happiness before it was too late. / Lena: But you're taking her away from me! / Zero: Cerie is not the source of your happiness. / Zero: She was but a catalyst. / [[A visible manifestation of Zero's avatar tries to comfort Lena]] / Zero: Please don't throw your happiness away just to chase the one who helped you find it.
http://beesbuzz.biz/d/20100707.php
 
Planetfall: 28. Decision point [[Lena and Zero are alone in the Oracle chamber; Lena is "seeing" Zero]] / Lena: Zero? What are you? What... what am I? / Zero: I once was a being of flesh, like you. / Zero: My mother was your great-to-the-the-thousandth grandmother. I think you and she would have gotten along. / Zero: You... are an aberration. But so was I, in my life, and I cannot punish that. / Zero: If you still wish to go to Uriel, I can arrange for your passage as an ancillary oracle. But realize that your life as such would be... conflicted. / Lena: I can go with Cerie? / Zero: Yes... but most of the time you would be me, and likely not all that good at it. / Zero: You are appreciated on the farm. You are happy on the farm. You have so much to share. / Lena: Then what should I do? / Zero: You should make you own choice. / {{caption: Breezed if you do, breezed if you don't}}
http://beesbuzz.biz/d/20100709.php
Planetfall: 29. Recovery [[Cerie approaches the Oracle chamber from outside]] / Cerie: Lena? Are you in here? / [[Cerie enters; Lena sits in the chair]] / Lena: I'm sorry. I didn't think it would be like this. / Cerie: Lena? / [[Lena is holding the Zero drone, and is channeling Zero's words, eyes clenched shut]] / Zero: Give her some time. / Zero: She will be okay.

Pod 19, group 8C, please board. / Cerie: I guess it's time. Are you sure this is what you want? / Lena: No. / [[Lena and Cerie hug]] / Lena: I wish nobody had to leave. / Cerie: I know. So do I. / [[Cerie boards the pod, looking over her shoulder back at Lena.]] / Cerie: Goodbye.
http://beesbuzz.biz/d/20100714.php
Planetfall: 31. Goodbye [[Lena stands by the glass viewing wall of the pod bay, holding her hand up to it, waving at the pod. Close by, the colony dropship is visible; further away, Uriel. One of Zero's drones watches.]] / Lena: I love you.
