The lights and magic symbols on the various magic-guide devices flickered continuously, and a low hum emanated from the magic web at the laboratory's base. A stream of light flashed across the surface of a recording device not far away, and Kamel approached the young researcher, Cohen Bell.
"The auxiliary equipment is ready, Cohen," the Great Arcanist buzzed, "prepare to conduct the third connection experiment."
The young technician on the chair nodded: "I'm ready."
As he spoke, he looked up, winking at Pea, who had curiously come over to watch: "Keep a good eye on this; it's the real use of the Neural Thorn."
After spending some time together, nearly everyone in this laboratory had become familiar with Pea.
