to contemplate the future, was always a Lilim trait. And the Lilim had

"Awwww
yeah!" Ivy suddenly shouted, punching a fist in the air, much to the
surprise of the others. "You know what'd be totally swee~eeeeet? We
should steal Aunty Zyuu's badger-things, and drop them on the crystal
stuff!" She paused, as the other five artificial intelligences stared at
her avatar, rather confused by the utter non-sequitur. "No, wait. We
should drop them, and I should be ridin' them, and I can use my
rocket-boosters to steer the badger-things and then all the crystals
will be screaming and there'll be awesome lightning stuff and... I know!
If we also take the bear-armour, we can strap them to the badgers!
That'll make everything even more killy, plus hugs from the inside are
cooo~ooool, plus we can send the pictures back for the Aunties' Mark IIs
so that the totally sweet plans can be refined and made betterer, and
stuff! Ooooh! Ooooh! Ooooh!"
One might say 'crazy', but that would
be wrong, because that was a perfectly normal statement for most of her
relatives on her mother's side. Including her mother.

"And...
and, also, while we're there? We can go blow up all the clouds!" She
pouted slightly. "I still haven't forgiven them for hittin' me with
lightning!"
No. Excess sanity was not one of her problems.
