Erob’s House
In which Edger gives a demo.
A nice concise summary from Shan of what a Healer is, and isn’t.
An interesting touch in the med tech’s rant, the complaint that Edger and Sheather are “not of Erob’s house medical staff”. Separately, it’s reasonable to be concerned that they are not certified medical staff, and understandable to be concerned that they are not of Erob’s staff (and therefore are unknowns). But with that wording it isn’t just the sum of those two concerns, but has the flavour of an ingroup-outgroup bias (“Erob’s house medical staff are the best; I am of Erob’s house medical staff and these persons are not; I am obviously right and they are obviously wrong”).
The similarity Shan sees between the Turtles and the Tree is intriguing. It doesn’t mean they’re related, particularly since the similarity seems to be one of kind rather than detail, but more like another facet of their other commonalities, being very old and having more to them than meets the eye.
PA: being very old and having more to them than meets the eye.
While this is obviously true, I get the feeling that there is more there. Again, not that they are related, but that they both tap into the same “wavelength” in the universe, something metaphysical rather than biological.
I have felt that too.
Regarding that the Tree originated in another universe they might just be the same power or element which expressed itself differently according to the different conditions / surrounding in those two universes.
