Stoneman was a virtual representation of one of Eivor Varinsdottir's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
Description[edit | edit source]
A young girl becomes frustated with her rocks.
Dialogue[edit | edit source]
Eivor saw a girl trying and failing to stack rocks.
- Norse Child: Why won't you just stay still! Ugh! This one first... then this one... ugh! No! Stay still, stones! Or else the bad Pict-people will come for me...
Eivor approached the little girl.
- Norse Child: Can you tell the stones to stand still, please? I need to build a stone man so it will protect me from the Pict-people! I keep trying but... I just can't do it right.

Eivor knelt at the pile of stones helped her build a stoneman, using her past experience building cairns handed down by her mother and father. She stacked them carefully, drawing near to the desired height.
- Norse Child: Whoa! You're really good at this!
Eivor completed stacking the stones and validated the cairn's structural integrity before stepping back.
- Eivor: Think of this as a test, of mind and wit. Stack the cairn stones high and wide.
- Norse Child: But they keep falling...
- Eivor: You have to let the air and nature's beauty guide you. Shape, balance, expression are key.
- Norse Child: O, wow! Thank you for showing me how.
- Eivor: Steady your hands and your heart, tiny-giant. Goodbye.
Eivor took her leave of the little girl, who thought aloud.
- Norse Child: I'll be okay on my own, Mama and Papa. Don't worry about me, I'll have an army of stone men to protect me!
Eivor found a note in the house nearby.
- Instructions
How to make a Stoneman
Find stones, there are some by the river.
Stack stones to make Stoneman.
Stoneman will protect me. Protect us.
Outcome[edit | edit source]
Eivor taught the child the basics of cairns, like her mother had done for her.
