Codex - Clouds

Section 1
"'The clouds are like icebergs,' that's what I said to teacher. She explained why they weren't, you know, chemically.""I said, 'that's not what I meant. I meant they're like icebergs for the skyships to avoid, like seaships before Atlas.'""'Only in the far south,' she said, 'far beyond Koinos, in the bitter cold, where no-one lives.'""My best friend at Gwendolier Institute is Em, she is already an expert on radio signals. She likes clouds too, the way they look, but she says they interfere with the radio signals. She said some of the Sky hulks fell over when the signals went hazy. Reaalllly slowly of course.""There are no boys here to distract us, only clouds and dreams, drifting on by."
