To the leadership of the Covenant,

Our name is Amphitrite, and we have been directed by that which you call 'Melia' to establish communications with your collective. We understand that this is your preferred form of communication, and will defer to it and relay the message in a form more understandable for the greater whole. The anonymity of the Carrier of Light shall be preserved for the moment to prevent subterfuge undertaken against the Light Within.

Our kind eagerly awaits more knowledge of the budding plans to purge the Banishers. We await your response.

Hello.

As you knew the name of the one I communicated with, I will assume you're legitimate. Now that the communication barrier is resolved, we can keep in touch more often concerning the movement of our mutual enemies and provide opportunities for each other.

However, I never mentioned a solid long term plan to dealing with them when I spoke to Melia. What I did suggest is keeping watch on the movements and resource allocation of our enemies. It would be within both our interests to share data on them. In a sign of trust and cooperation, I will forward you a copy of what subjects we know so far.

The message has been delivered to the whole. The Light is appreciative of the Bird's shared wisdom.

We shall speak once more when a directive has been provided. You shall know the intentions of the Light soon.

(The text stream flickers initially as the Neural Relay on Secundus parses the concepts of the Vagrant's thoughts into words, creating approximations at first, then becoming more logical and coherent.)

With the help of the Collective, the whole was able to create an analogue to them as well as you if need be. They have been favourable to ours, and so we shall be to them.

Amphirite is preoccupied and thus this one shall address you this time. Since the initiation of our agreement, your flock has kept its word. We are impressed. We would like to request your aid as we did with the Collective if you are willing. First, however, we would inquire as to the h̯̥̙ʷe̝̹̹̟̤̼̽̃a̘ʰ̬̹̬̪̝̰̽̈l̪t̟̞̥̝̟̻h˞ˡ̼̰̽ of your fellowship.

An honor to talk to you, Polyhymnia.

Our organisation and people fare relatively well lately, we have recently received some losses to our Inner Phalanx council and our personnel, but the traitors have been neutralised. On a more diplomatic side of things, we show growing concern as a war is on the verge of breaking out in our region of the Independent Worlds, and there are multiple parties with possible or known thralls to the Order Overwatch, such as Crayter, Gaians, SIS sighted in secret converse and there are Order operatives present in Inverness who will most likely use that opportunity to strike at us, not to mention the K'Hara and their infested forces in the same region...

But regardless, all is well, we believe that we have evolved further from inner conflict and we stand in belief that we can defend ourselves should hostiles appear. Otherwise, despite the minor setback, we are developing smoothly.

What is it that you desire?

There is an incessant knawing at the back of our minds. We were gone way too long from the plains of our Creators. Our kin is still stranded on the other side of the divide between galaxies. Our kin wants to return home. We have envisioned a means by which to bridge the vast distance. With the addition of your power, we may hasten to process. The Advisors would like to inquire as to what you would wish as compensation to assist us in creating a gateway to help our kin arrive home safely.

How do you propose we help you? I am interested in helping you, but I need to understand the details and what resources you'll need for this.

As for compensation, I personally have something in mind but it is rather more of an instinctual selfish impulsive desire, one where it involves the healing of the mind, although this only benefits me and one other person affilicted by psionic damage. We can discuss compensation later with the Inner Phalanx.

Your willingness is appreciated by the Advisors.

It may be a difficult proposition to explain the details of intergalactic travels in brevity, but we will nonetheless try. You are aware that our means far exceed that of your kin. The Creators blessed us with their infinite wisdom and imparted on us the ability to construct instant tesseracts. They pale in comparison to the Creators' own tesseract system, but they can be made serviceable for our ends.

The main contention is our means of generating the necessary energy. While our zero point cells are able to extract vast amounts of power, they do deplete depending on strain. Erecting a bridge over approximately two and a half million light years would be possible, but any zero point cell would reach maximum entropy within too short a time. To decrease the strain, we intend to operate using an intermediary solution. A three-step. Reach the middle, then the other side.

The distance between is a great desert devoid of material that is useful to our way of constructing. We need to bring it there. Your kin possesses the fʷ̬̚ö̤̬̝̥̼̰̽̈r̹̞ʰ̝̬m̟̩̻̪̬̬̽̈s̹̝̜̈ necessary to bring silicate matter in vast quantities from one location to another. We require you to carry silicate to the site for us. That is all.

Hm, three step hyperspatial routes, yes, we have participated in something similar with hyperspace technology, particularly with pinpointing intended destinations with beacon vessels.

What are the materials that you need? We know of a Nomad gate wreckage near our home area - in Crayterian Space, will you need anything from that?

We are unaware of any wreckage of our siblings' constructs in your vicinity. What is necessary is merely the material, and if it is a derelict tesseract, it is made of what we need, though we would likely need more. Our knowledge of intonation suggests that retrieval of something in Crayterian territory might be an obstacle, otherwise it would not have been mentioned. Would this deduction be correct?
