[There: a small flicker to the mental buzz. For a second the sound coalesces into an image. Each vibrating note is like an scale interlocked across some great dark water animal, and across each scale passes some ghost of a memory. Somewhere there's a blurred image of a transport viewscreen flashing warning alerts; elsewhere there's Nirad, or someone who looks so like him that it's difficult to parse the difference. He stands on the ledge of some high rooftop and whistles to himself; somewhere a city is burning and ash lingers on the tongue; somewhere--
The buzz winds down like a rope being coiled - habitual more than pointed.]
( Yeah, I guess. They're not all like this. I've been on this one a long time. )
