"There's fog pushing
at the mountains. Have we been up so long?"

"Waste! And torment. I can bring them here. We'll sort them out, too,
into new persons, give them the skills they desire, and launch them."
"It can be done."

There is always risk
and you can never know what it will be,
even though you may think and think about it.
This did not seem to hold any significance
for Adonie.
