“ARCOLOGIA 42
[Arcologia 42 / Alto cuntciliabolo]
— Così come già segnalato da A39, A40 e A41, i replicanti stanno avanzando nella nostra direzione, SignoRe.
— Hanno raggiunto la membrana?
— No SignoRe. Stimiamo che la possano raggiungere entro i prossimi tre giorni.
— Approntate le difese.
— A questo proposito, SignoRe...
— Cosa? Parla! Proferisci!
— L'ultimo messaggio ricevuto da A41 era confuso. Si sentono strani suoni metallici seguiti da rapide successioni di piccole esplosioni. Stiamo cercando di contattarli, ma non rispondono. Se la loro membrana avesse ceduto...
— Stupidezze! Le membrane ci proteggono da mille anni. Io stesso ho progettato la nostra e ho contribuito a costruirla. Prima ancora che giungesse il tempo dell'etichettatura etica.
— Sì mio SignoRe. Ma i replicanti scoprono ogni volta qualche nuova diavoleria, e conservano anche tutte quelle vecchie. Se le tramandano. Noi abbiamo smesso di farlo, ma loro ancora nascono, muoiono e rinascono. Si replicano. E quel che è peggio… imparano.”

“-Escúchame, Chuck -contestó, haciendo una pausa para calmarse y que no se le quebrara la voz-.No me cabe la menor duda de que tienes padres. Lo sé. Suena horrible, pero estoy seguro de que tu mamá está sentada ahora en tu cuarto, sosteniendo tu almohada, observando por la ventana ese mundo que te arrebató de ella. Y te apuesto a que está llorando. Con fuerza. Los ojos hinchados, los mocos en la nariz: un llanto como debe ser.
No dijo nada, pero Thomas escuchó unos ligerísimos gemidos.
-No debes rendirte, Chuck. Vamos a solucionar todo y a salir de aquí. Ya soy un Corredor, y prometo por mi vida que te voy a llevar de vuelta a tu habitación. Y tu mamá dejará de llorar.
Lo decía en serio. Esa promesa le quemaba el corazón.
-Espero que tengas razón -dijo Chuck con voz temblorosa. Hizo el gesto del pulgar hacia arriba en la ventana y se alejó.
Thomas se levantó y caminó por el pequeño recinto, ardiendo en deseos de poder cumplir su palabra.
-Créeme, Chuck -susurró al aire-.Te juro que te llevaré de vuelta a tu casa.”
