Of course, oxygen breathers only made up the most gaudy UGG Boots Clearance and frenetic of life's eight orders. Harry kept notes whenever he sighted hydros, quantals, memoids, and other exotic types, with their strange insouciance about the passage of time. They don't see it as quite the enemy we oxy-types do.
His bosses at the Navigation Institute craved data about those strange comings and goings, though he could hardly picture why. The orders of sapiency so seldom interacted, they UGGS On Sale might as well occupy separate universes.
Still, you could hide a lot in all this weirdness, a trait that sometimes drew oxy-based life down here. On occasion, some faction or alliance would try sending a battle fleet through E Space, suffering its disadvantages in order to take rivals by surprise. Or else criminals might hope to move by a secret path through this treacherous realm. Harry was UGGS On Sale trained to look out for sooners, gene raiders, syntac thieves, and others trying to cheat the strict rules of migration and Uplift. Rules that so far kept the known cosmos from dissolving into chaos and ruin.
He nursed no illusions about his status. Harry knew this job was just the sort of dangerous, tedious duty the great institutes assigned to lowly clients of an unimportant clan. Yet UGG Boots On Sale he took seriously his vow to Wer'Q'quinn and NavInst. He planned to show all the doubters what a neo-chimp could do.
That determination was put to the test when he roused from his next rest break to peer through the louvered blinds, blinking with groggy surprise at an endless row of serrated green ridges that had erupted while he slept. Undulating sinusoidally across the foreground, they resembled UGGS On Sale the half-submerged spiny torso of some gigantic, lazy sea serpent that seemed to stretch toward both horizons, blocking his panorama of the purple plane.
At its slothful rate of passage, several pseudodays might pass before Harry's view was unobstructed once again. He stared for some time at the coils' slow rise and fall, wondering what combination of reality and his own mental processes could have evoked such UGG Boots On Sale a thing. If a memoid--another self-sustaining, living abstraction--it was huge enough to engulf most of the more modest animated idealizations grazing nearby.
When a concept grows big enough, does it become part of the landscape? Will it merge with the underpinnings of E Level? Will this "idea" take part in motivating the entire cosmos?
