From Pittman's attitude, Beltira realized that the "synthetic brain" technology she had created seemed more important than she had anticipated—the Wanderer from Outer Realm, always a step ahead of others, seemed to see a much broader potential for development in this technology, or... perhaps already planned some future application for it.
"Can I ask?" she pondered for a moment and couldn't resist her curiosity, "What do you plan to do with these 'brains'? Surely it's not just to expand the Psychic Choir or manufacture more Mind-Assistance Devices?"
Pittman silently glanced at Beltira, then smiled after a brief consideration, "Have you seen those rumbling factories?"
"Factories?" Beltira was taken aback for a moment and then nodded, "Of course—although I can't move now, the entire Sorin Region itself has many factories. I've seen those producing clothing and metal containers, and those that treat wastewater and recycle sludge monsters... Those machines are impressive."
