hello i loved eulogy from the stars so much!! but also had a few q’s if you’re able to answer! SPOILERS AHEAD: what exactly is the timeline from hs’s perspective? like jk wakes up 300ish years later, but hs made lee before he went to sleep and lee was only active for 19 years? also i get that lee didn’t want to freak jake out more when he first said he didn’t exist, but why did he just chat with jk so long instead of giving him the coords if he knew hs was waiting for him? how did hs know to go to vega?
hi tysm for reading !! to answer ur questions, lee was more so a protocol that had a timer as to when he was supposed to be activated, which was 19 years ago, so hs would've made him muchhh before he went to sleep. lee, although supposed to be js a programmed system has been stuck all alone for 19 years- i've made him to be more sentient than js a regular 'ai system', so he's desperate to have someone talk to him and if he led jake straight to hs it would be over for him :,) this last part is js a bunch of hand wavey space logic so take it with the biggest grain of salt 😭 in my head technology is advanced enough to figure out a rough estimate as to where jake is currently at- which at the time would be altair. lee's protocol is set that no matter where jake is, the coords he sends out would be to the closest star next to him- which is vega, so basically counting on jake's shuttle to have enough juice to make it there, hs would be waiting.
