Countless clamorous voices poured in. The Chip and Green began analyzing them at the same time, sorting out the useful information.
The intelligence on a Middle World posed no challenge for Green and the Chip, and they quickly finished organizing it.
Looking at the data on the Chip's interface, Green's eyes grew grave instead.
He had traveled through thousands of worlds, and nearly every one had been like this.
