2936 Doctor Avalon Perris

After Ves discovered that the living gem was leading him to somewhere rather than trying to run off on its own, he had become a lot more wary of its motives.

It became clear to Ves that the intelligence driving the gem possessed enough awareness of its situation to perform navigation, recognize specific people and lead its current owner into the pinnacle lab in order to fulfill an unknown objective!

It was the latter part that really sent alarm bells ringing in his head.

Perhaps the gem had been observing Ves ever since he obtained it. Perhaps storing the Supreme Comprehension gem on his own person was a mistake!

Still, just because something was alive didn't mean it was an enemy. If the gem was driven by some remnant portion of the Supreme Sage's spirituality, which Ves highly suspected was the case, then it should be smart enough to make a deal.
