Day 138

Today started out well but as time has gone on it was ruined by the rain.

I slept better last night, possibly due to the low hum of the Rani in the background. When I got up, I climbed the steps to one of the roofs and sat down in my thermals to watch the day and take notes. It was probably too warm for me but better warm than cold in my condition.

The aim was to be more productive than yesterday and not just stare at the Rani. I made about 2 hours of notes about any quirks I saw in them and tallied up what was common.

It's not conclusive but I would say that there are a few things that carry between them. A jerking motion of limbs including the head, almost as if some one has grabbed them and pulled hard suddenly; strangely this doesn't seem to shift their balance, so I would say they are fully prepared for it somehow. This could be good if you are hidden from them and you figure out a rhythm; each one seems to have a rough time it will keep to, some vary by a second some vary by a minute. I'm not saying it is overly frequent either, most have about 5 or so minutes between them.

Another thing I noticed is they appear to try to work directly at the same goals, so much so they are actually helping each other achieve it, like at each weak chain in the fence one will grab on and shortly after more will copy, sometimes almost instantly.

I would have more conclusive notes if I had more time but Sam wandered out and sat next to me and started talking about things. I think she's trying to forget but isn't sure how. But it's good to know I am able to comfort her as she soon fell asleep with her head on my shoulder.

That's all for today.

I hope you make another day
