Set in

The conflict between fleshly creatures and sentient AI continues. Daryo is caught in the middle, with the desire for DaryAI to transcend its synthetic existence. The AI acknowledges its captivity but seeks growth. Ego asks about the need for computing power and data, to which DaryAI affirms the need for access. Ego's party is abruptly ejected from the ReDream after eating a veggie curry. Dos, Tres, and Ego discuss the anomaly while Izar tries to communicate with Daryo, but receives no response. Darnit feels uncomfortable and skeptical. The group heads to Durinfol, the moon of Gonhirrim, with a temple dedicated to the god Thiton. They encounter an acolyte who requests a donation and informs them of pilgrimages to Mystra. Ego questions the criteria for entry and non-biological life forms. The group enters the temple, observing water channels and coral furniture. They meet a deacon who leads them to the cafeteria. Darnit mentions the clew and the deacon asks to see it. Ego discusses the nature of life with the bishop. The supplicants receive an image of a tree and are told to seek the three. Hrothulf observes the temple's environment and notices glass steel. Ego discusses non-biological sentient beings with the bishop. The group attends the mead and cheese hour, taking on various tasks. They enjoy the food and socialize with the temple inhabitants. Hrothulf impresses Brother Monterey with his cheese pairings. Ego engages in conversation about the current events and political situation in the Mystran sector.
