Chapter 70 - Stone Mason

Hey. Elle here. This'll be quick. I fed a couple wishes into the precognitive mechanism of my personal self-as-Tower, and learned that I'm not safe. So. I'm improving the Paths system that's now built into the thing with an eye toward personal safety. Right now, it's long-term but fuzzy, giving only general information about the current Path forward. However, if we observe how Tower-Hannah's Paths work and ask to borrow her library, we can greatly improve our own Tower's Pathfinding mechanisms so as to steer us away from dangerous or unwanted outcomes. Particularly, the cyclical snarls that portray future cycles of abuse, eye for eye, tooth for tooth type evils come into view and are able to be steered away from. Information arrives in the form of hunches, feelings, and direct mental messages that allow me to understand and foresee what particular actions of mine would lead me down darker avenues. I also just made a wish that sends half of all wish-energy that's generated and not stored into empowering the Tower's Pathfinding mechanisms.

Interested readers may remark on the shorter nature of these past few chapters. They represent changes made in real-time on an emergency basis in a time of crisis. Longer chapters should return shortly, unless I get caught up in another situation that requires an immediate patch.
