Alex, don't think I have forgotten about your lessons. Tell me where the following phrases come from:

“Who you are is limited only by who you think you are.”

“Not a perfect soul, I am perfecting. Not a human being, I am a human becoming.”

“Name yourself in your heart and know who you are.”

“My body is but wax and wick for flame. When the candle burns out, the light shines elsewhere.”

“In the beat of a heart, the suck of a breath, you are the universe.”

And... “In my heart are the deeds my body has done and my heart has been weighed in the balance.”

Keep in mind, I am going easy on you. All of the phrases come from the same place. ( i.e. The Egyptian Book of the Dead ) I even translated them for you. ( From memory because she doesn't have said book with her. ) Well?

( Smiling faintly at her console, she sighs. )

I'm going to miss Egypt.

( Evie is looking far more at home. She is, carefully, turning the pages of a large tome. Beside her, there is a lit candle. While some might find the flickering light bothersome, Evie is used to it. Within the various pyramids and tombs of Egypt, she depended on torches for light. Going back to electricity - even if it's available (she hasn't checked) - doesn't seem necessary.

After looking over one page, she marks her place with a strip of leather and looks up. )

I am making progress with the native's language. I stumbled across a poem that seemed to outline their alphabet yesterday. ( The alphabet is the bare bones of any language. She won't be able to do much with it, but it's a start. ) I don't mind sharing the information with anyone who might be interested.

( She shifts and picks up a spare piece of paper, tucking it into her bag. )

Aside from that, I think it's time I started exploring other sectors. Perhaps on foot would be best?
