        If only we knew why the structural engineers felt them necessary.

                Nah, they use plain normal gasoline. They just need to stop making their cars out of metallic sodium.

        I’m sure if Null were awake they’d have scrounged it up as well. All that tells me is that we’re operating on the same subspace wavelength.
