After a little thought, Manqui decided to invest the last remaining mental sparks of energy from his exoskeleton, for today, in listening to music. He sifted through the music archive stored inside the metallic memory chest of the A.T.H.A.H.E. Homeostasis Dwelling, and with one hand placed into his old optical disc player the fourth record
