I have picked up Skylark once again. Lark at the moment is still fleeing from the institution. The Institution had been planning to turn her into a power source, a machine that would have had wires connected all around her body. Fortunately she escaped and left the city. She is rationing whatever food she has and is utterly worn out. Lark is in constant fear that the machines that the institution have let out to track her will find her, which one night, one did. Lark was able to crush the machine but it started rebuilding itself the only reason she did not kill it was because it made bird noises out of nowhere. This is what Lark was searching for, birds, so she stopped; supposedly birds would lead her to people that could help her. The little machine informed her that it could lead her to the birds. Lark decided to trust it because she had the part of the machine pixie that helps it get back to the institution. Lark believes that the machine is nothing but a machine. I believe this machine has feelings by what Meagan Spooner writes on page 154,”“Shadow men,” repeated the pixie. For the briefest second, I imagined I had detected amusement in its voice. Which was impossible, of course.” My prediction is that this machine pixie is going to get fond of her or it is going to turn her in the moment it gets its little mechanic hands on the navigation piece, the one that takes it to the institution.
