Core Crystals...
dimumurray:
(click to show/hide)I have a strong inkling that they might be sentient...The 1000+ year old rare (possibly unique) core crystal that is essentially the heart/soul of Predator...apparently Folly can communicate with it...this interests me to no end
Quantus:
Petrified Furies...
cass:
There were definitely times when I had to stop and remind myself that this was NOT the two-or-three centuries later, steampunk-y revisitation of Alera. At least, I don't *think* it is....
(click to show/hide)I don't know if Folly was communicating with the core crystal so much as the ship itself. I mean, the Predator didn't appear to change with the installation of the new crystals-- it still sang while diving, and had some sort of awareness of/affection for Grimm that must have predated the new crystal. I have a feeling Predator is going to end up on more than a few lists of 'more than a vehicle'. Though I certainly wouldn't rule out crystals/the ether being sentient on top of that.
Quantus:
Keep in mind that (click to show/hide)Folly also communicated with the accumulated personality of a Library, on the principle that writers leave peices of Soul in theri works. So the fact that she communicated (or appeared to communicate) with the ship/core may not be a statement on the Core itself so much as on her perceptions of the world.

(click to show/hide)The core (or is it power?) crystal wasn't replaced. Airships are also equipped with auxiliary crystals in the form of lift and trim crystals. I think only some of those auxiliary crystal needed to be replaced. The core crystal is still intact, hence my thinking that its 'alive' somehow.
