(Even though the wher Hatching has already begun, I figured I'd start this incase she doesn't Bond.)
The two small pails - one glowing with fungi bits and the other empty - scraped against each other slightly as Venus walked down the dimly lit hall. Yes, these glows definitely needed changing. Coming out of the corridor into the wide open base floor of the Weyr, the Candidate sighed quietly. There were glowbaskets spread out every few yards across the entire cavern, and then all the way down at least halve a dozen hallways and staircases leading to all the other sections of the carved out building.
Venus glanced to her right at the nearest glowbasket, hanging just past the corner of the archway to the hallway she'd just came from. Moving to stand in front of it, she unlatched it's side covering, reached in and pulled out the failing ball of moss-like material, then dropped it into the empty pail. Next she picked out a newly harvested glow from the other pail and placed it in the glowbasket, securing the door firmly.
Only a couple hundred more to go and she could probably be done for the day. Lovely.
