Been thinking about Exodus Code
Been thinking Jack has spent a long time under the Earth, one way or another.
Reckon it was weird if all that cave wanted was his body.
So what if Mother Earth missed him?
An alien intelligence, sure, in that 'verse, but, one that lay there dreaming for a thousand years, while Jack dreamed with them.
Then the signal that drove people mad (if they have to keep that)
is a grief loss screaming
trying to call him where he's gone.
That way when he understands he rebuilds that connection
and possibly teaches it about wifi so they don't need the earth around them
to communicate.
... the fic world does not need a rewrite of that book
but it Bothered me in that particular sticky way
that keeps sparking ideas.
