Emptying your mind was easier said than done.
Memory of scorched earth seeped into any tranquil void hard fought to clear. Australia. The Western American seaboard. Beyond the overwhelming loss of human life and the elimination of countless species, there was the bitter reality that the damage done would take generations to heal. The more the environmentalist dwelt on the reality to which she had awoken, the more it seemed as if the war waiting outside cryostasis had already been lost.
With every fall of her lids she was plummeted into the same darkness that had held her captive for decades. With a sigh of defeat, she abandoned her mediation form, stretching her short legs out in front of her with a wriggle of her toes. Gaze wandered from her own rug to the scattered omnics and humans throughout the temple. A meek smile curled her lips before she stretched to her feet.
The pilgrimage here to find some sort of perspective was far from a success, but the trip wasn’t an entire loss. More good had been done by the climb than the days grappling with attempts at meditation, and the descent still lay ahead. Geared up and ready to go, Mei Paused by the gates to inspect her kit, coiling synthetic chord between her gloves.
