But I was no longer quite the creature I'd been when [[ArchEnemy Crayak]] had last seen me. I had followed the same theory for my own survival as I had for the survival of life itself: I had grown, replicated, expanded. I had broken "myself" into several dozen separate semi-biological ships. I was three dozen crystal/ships, all connected, all united by real-time communications on several different levels at once: everything from simple microwave and laser to more subtle connections based on mind-crystal harmonics.
