[ She sees that look, and the truth is that she has no clue if it's safe. It was only two weeks ago that Wanda locked some part of the Singularity (maybe?) into Julie's brain so that she wouldn't waste away, but it's a stopgap measure. It couldn't be extracted, but it could be silenced, at least for now. And now Julie is flinging herself straight back into the unknown by doing this.
She'd already been back to the Singularity, of course, but it hadn't needed her so desperately before. Not like it does now, the way it clung to her and overwhelmed her.
But this is what she can do. This is all she can do. Between Geralt and the Singularity, Julie is willing to give herself up to get them both back. ]
You can tell 'em. [ She shakes her head a little. Julie strongly suspects a lecture from both if she's the one to explain, and that's not really what she's aiming for. ] Just... if I do get somethin' we can use... Sam, you know what'll happen if I'm found out. I won't hold nothin' back from y'all, but...
[ Her voice trails off. She's afraid. She can do what the natives have been trying to do for millennia -- communicate with it. Thorne has already killed people in their quest to get access, and that was just the Horizon. Cadens has experimented on people for no reason, apparently, let alone with the possibility of something so great. Julie is positive that if there's even a rumor she can do this, she'll die in a secret laboratory somewhere, just another human guinea pig.
And there are so many Summoned now who trust the natives too much, who don't know what it was like in the beginning. Even one of them running their yap puts her life on the line. She's not exactly someone who blends into a crowd. ]
