Does the Heart simply power the machinery, an enormous magical battery?

Or does it provide something … more?

And what does the Library do in return?

Whatever the case, the chip in the Heart is clearly visible in amidst the forest of wiring. It pulses, beating in time with the shard in your chest.

Displays along the nearest bank of processors blink, replacing scrawling diagnostics and system reports with the symbol of the Heart, backed by two golden wings.

"Ma'am." says House, his distorted water-voice echoing around the chamber.

"What can I do for you?"

What do you do?
"Oh... nothing..." Milliway said as she began to scrutinise screens and tap on controls.

"Just, uh, checking your diagnostic logs. I had a small incendiary incident earlier... small explosion... nothing major. Just checking it hasn't burned any of your circuits or... anything..."

Tap. Tap-tap. Tap. Tap-tap-tap.
