[06.02.2022 20:00:46] Entity: ***"A tour... (amused)"

[06.02.2022 20:02:06] A/)-Revenant: What's wrong? Do you need help?

[06.02.2022 20:02:57] Quimper-[Fae: T: "Our sister nymph tasked ours to make this place a bigger home for our children."

[06.02.2022 20:04:02] Quimper-[Fae: T: "Ours will soon start construction of a darkling habitat on the sphere."

[06.02.2022 20:04:19] Entity: ***"Have -wrathful- bretheren paid a visit yet?"

[06.02.2022 20:04:46] Quimper-[Fae: T: "Not to the knowledge of ours. Maybe the Raven can enlighten more?"

[06.02.2022 20:04:48] Entity: ***"Scenery might 'remind' them of the beginnings... Perhaps."

[06.02.2022 20:04:50] A/)-Revenant: One.

[06.02.2022 20:04:53] A/)-Revenant: Ki'Shar.

[06.02.2022 20:05:09] A/)-Revenant: There may have been another. I would not know for certain.

[06.02.2022 20:07:17] Quimper-[Fae: T: "Ours wonder. Does yours posses knowledge of the infestation of husks."

[06.02.2022 20:08:38] Entity: ***"Is your protege in 'danger'? (concerning)"

[06.02.2022 20:08:46] A/)-Revenant: He went to attack the Insurgency.

[06.02.2022 20:09:00] A/)-Revenant: He has yet to answer me - I only heard brief panic upon the comms.

[06.02.2022 20:09:32] Entity: ***"Unexpected aggression... a shift in character perhaps (contemplating)"

[06.02.2022 20:09:52] A/)-Revenant: It was expected.

[06.02.2022 20:10:05] A/)-Revenant: He wishes to prove himself to be strong, to not be pushed around.

[06.02.2022 20:10:21] A/)-Revenant: I cannot always help him, so I gave him space to figure this one out on his own.

[06.02.2022 20:11:12] A/)-Revenant: Vincent?

[06.02.2022 20:11:45] "Ridge": Yea-- urgh...fucking Insurgency.

[06.02.2022 20:11:52] Entity: ***"He may wish to seek help from 'lost ones' here. Their ~hyperspace~ attunement may aid in our mutual endavours."

[06.02.2022 20:12:39] A/)-Revenant: I had thought of that long before you suggested so.

[06.02.2022 20:13:00] A/)-Revenant: He has discomfort with 'associating' with any of your kind, an understandable concern.

[06.02.2022 20:13:25] Entity: ***"His -choice- however how to approach."

[06.02.2022 20:13:41] A/)-Revenant: Indeed, his choice, no matter how illogical it may be.

[06.02.2022 20:13:50] A/)-Revenant: Yet I'm still aggravated.

[06.02.2022 20:14:04] A/)-Revenant: Why are we doing this? What is this all for, Harbinger? What is it you're hoping to find in these Vaults?

[06.02.2022 20:14:17] Entity: ***"~my~ preference is not to interfere unless absolutely necessary. The steps he takes are his, and yours by extension."

[06.02.2022 20:14:42] "Ridge":  ...are...you alright? You went abruptly silent.

[06.02.2022 20:14:53] A/)-Revenant: [a light exhale was had] A little annoyed.

[06.02.2022 20:15:06] "Ridge": Who's prodding your nerves now?

[06.02.2022 20:15:09] A/)-Revenant: Barry.

[06.02.2022 20:15:13] Entity: ***"Alternative solution to dilemma."

[06.02.2022 20:15:28] A/)-Revenant: What dilemma?

[06.02.2022 20:15:41] "Ridge": Really.

[06.02.2022 20:15:52] Entity: ***"Or perhaps discover it was all a fool's errand in the first place (oddly)"

[06.02.2022 20:16:25] A/)-Revenant: I do not appreciate vague answers, what is it that /you/ are seeking out from these Vaults?

[06.02.2022 20:17:08] Entity: ***"Are you worried what you may find will harm you and your -friends-, your kind?"

[06.02.2022 20:17:17] "Ridge": What's he done now? 

[06.02.2022 20:17:44] A/)-Revenant: Doing this - is already a risk for harm, no matter what is found. No, it is not a large fear.

[06.02.2022 20:18:06] A/)-Revenant: I do not like taking steps in the darkness, not without ... a form of will - of purpose. What is the point to this? Do /you/

[06.02.2022 20:18:10] A/)-Revenant: even know what you are looking for?

[06.02.2022 20:19:21] A/)-Revenant: I do not like working in the dark - what is the point of this journey.

[06.02.2022 20:19:39] A/)-Revenant: It has irritated me for months, of course, you may perceive it as paranoia. 

[06.02.2022 20:19:50] Entity: ***"(almost a laughter) Vaguely. It is not something you can ~know~ but feel..."

[06.02.2022 20:19:55] "Ridge": Perfectly understandable at this point.

[06.02.2022 20:20:24] A/)-Revenant: A feeling, to find what? Do you not think the risks will not affect you either?

[06.02.2022 20:21:02] "Ridge": So...what then?

[06.02.2022 20:21:13] A/)-Revenant: Hm?

[06.02.2022 20:21:20] "Ridge": Has he shed some.../any/ light on the situation?

[06.02.2022 20:21:49] A/)-Revenant: I am not sure what he looks for - but that is not what concerns me.

[06.02.2022 20:21:56] A/)-Revenant: It is whether he knows himself.

[06.02.2022 20:22:11] Entity: ***"Perhaps the risks are greater for ~myself~ than anything else. Acceptance had given me assurances and will to pursue..."

[06.02.2022 20:22:23] "Ridge": Barry having an existential crisis...?

[06.02.2022 20:22:28] A/)-Revenant: No.

[06.02.2022 20:22:50] A/)-Revenant: You cannot fulfill a deal if you are dead or worse. Such actions of taking a blind step into the darkness has a repurcussion

[06.02.2022 20:22:57] A/)-Revenant: for everything. Not just the one taking a peek in.

[06.02.2022 20:23:23] Entity: ***"...at long last. Consider it a doorway to alternative outcome, one that was once considered by the makers..."

[06.02.2022 20:23:33] "Ridge": I know. It is obvious by now that if we do get to open that vault /something/ will happen.

[06.02.2022 20:23:33] Entity: ***"...but ultimately discarded."

[06.02.2022 20:24:03] "Ridge": We won't just walk out of there in one piece.

[06.02.2022 20:24:09] "Ridge": Or...I-I don't know.

[06.02.2022 20:24:20] A/)-Revenant: The feeling you feel, are you certain it is familiar? Or is it too vague to tell what it is? Do you know what it is?

[06.02.2022 20:25:16] A/)-Revenant: Perhaps so, perhaps not. Although I have some confidence with cautious study, that we can alleviate any

[06.02.2022 20:25:17] A/)-Revenant: loss.

[06.02.2022 20:25:37] A/)-Revenant: If Melia can figure out how the Shrine blocks their signals, we could reduce our 'footprints' at least.

[06.02.2022 20:25:55] A/)-Revenant: Unfortunately, it appears they have not had any luck in studying it.

[06.02.2022 20:26:32] Entity: ***"Our kind is torn apart, in so the outcome intended has slowly been closing its door, the opportunities lost."

[06.02.2022 20:26:56] "Ridge": Unfortunate.

[06.02.2022 20:27:47] "Ridge":  ...well, I'm back home. E-Ehm. Well, this is dumb.

[06.02.2022 20:27:48] A/)-Revenant: You hope to find a tool to prevent such atrophic decay?

[06.02.2022 20:27:51] A/)-Revenant: Hm?

[06.02.2022 20:28:11] "Ridge": I need to board my transport and visit Kreuzberg soon. As soon as possible, actually.

[06.02.2022 20:28:37] A/)-Revenant: Why's that?

[06.02.2022 20:28:54] "Ridge": I'm missing a wing and two of my Thor's engines are blown.

[06.02.2022 20:29:32] A/)-Revenant:  ...oh. There was something we needed to speak about - but - one thing.

[06.02.2022 20:29:42] "Ridge": I got blasted by a Battlecruiser. ...at least I got out alive-- uh?

[06.02.2022 20:29:49] A/)-Revenant: Your home and the area around it is clear?

[06.02.2022 20:29:55] Entity: ***"Preventing might be impossible already."

[06.02.2022 20:30:20] "Ridge": Right now, yeah. I'm looking out the window and everything seems calm.

[06.02.2022 20:31:06] A/)-Revenant: A possibility, but, you have cause for this intrusion into the 'graves' - which eases my mind.

[06.02.2022 20:31:08] Death: XA-Ridgenose, was put out of action by IN|H-Slicer (Gun).

[06.02.2022 20:31:24] A/)-Revenant: That is good.

[06.02.2022 20:31:48] "Ridge": Why do you ask?

[06.02.2022 20:32:01] A/)-Revenant: Checking in, we found another Bell.

[06.02.2022 20:32:10] "Ridge": Where?

[06.02.2022 20:32:19] A/)-Revenant: The last incursion point, Sigma 59.

[06.02.2022 20:32:47] "Ridge": Third bell!

[06.02.2022 20:33:10] A/)-Revenant: Technically, fourth.

[06.02.2022 20:33:14] "Ridge": W-We should go there sometime! I-I mean. As soon as possible w-

[06.02.2022 20:33:17] "Ridge": Fourth?

[06.02.2022 20:33:23] A/)-Revenant: Oh look at that - A Valor.

[06.02.2022 20:33:28] A/)-Revenant: Intriguing.

[06.02.2022 20:34:08] A/)-Revenant: The first was within Kepler. As was second, and third.

[06.02.2022 20:34:23] "Ridge": Third? In Kepler?

[06.02.2022 20:34:26] "Ridge": I saw only two.

[06.02.2022 20:34:41] A/)-Revenant: I ponder if this vessel is going to open fire on me.

[06.02.2022 20:35:08] "Ridge": The Valor?

[06.02.2022 20:35:15] Entity: ***"Unwise to remain... 'unwanted guest'."

[06.02.2022 20:38:10] "Ridge": What's next?

[06.02.2022 20:38:39] A/)-Revenant: Look into the artifacts we found. Get that shield prototype on the run.

[06.02.2022 20:39:05] A/)-Revenant: If the Vagrants cannot properly analyse the Shrine, we may need to investigate it the more "materialist" approach.

[06.02.2022 20:39:09] Entity: ***"Remaining still... unwanted." (two orbs around form into large nomad vessels)

[06.02.2022 20:39:13] A/)-Revenant: I'd rather not touch it.

[06.02.2022 20:39:31] A/)-Revenant: A new friend.

[06.02.2022 20:39:41] "Ridge": We can go fairly soon-ish, I suppose.

[06.02.2022 20:40:40] A/)-Revenant: There is a purpose behind the incursion into the Vaults, mind you.

[06.02.2022 20:40:50] Entity: ***(irritation grows)

[06.02.2022 20:42:02] "Ridge": There is always a reason for...everything, I guess.

[06.02.2022 20:42:10] A/)-Revenant: Nerves are eased. I'd had feared it was another game. Another trick.

[06.02.2022 20:43:26] A/)-Revenant: Nephele. [nods]

[06.02.2022 20:43:31] Vagrant.Nephele: "*Yours* managed to surwive? Such persistence. Yet, it brings relief"

[06.02.2022 20:43:35] Entity: ***"Unwanted guests are abound... be wary of trespassers."

[06.02.2022 20:44:06] A/)-Revenant: Ah - Ki'Shar had picked me up. The exit converged on the latest incursion.

[06.02.2022 20:44:20] A/)-Revenant: I'm afraid not much was discovered - beyond some geological samples.

[06.02.2022 20:44:36] A/)-Revenant:  ... And some history. Odd that they never fully destroyed the husks.

[06.02.2022 20:44:44] A/)-Revenant: A warning, perhaps.

[06.02.2022 20:44:51] "Ridge": And it wasn't.

[06.02.2022 20:45:10] Vagrant.Nephele: "A pity it could not be of further assistance, but the very chance to behold the anomaly"

[06.02.2022 20:45:13] A/)-Revenant: Indeed. Perhaps m

[06.02.2022 20:45:28] A/)-Revenant: my mind is playing tricks on me. Being too near the Order - can set it off.

[06.02.2022 20:45:34] Vagrant.Nephele: "To feel its mesmerising pull"

[06.02.2022 20:45:43] Vagrant.Nephele: "It is grateful for that"

[06.02.2022 20:45:46] "Ridge": The Order is around again?

[06.02.2022 20:45:58] A/)-Revenant: The night before? They have been around in general.

[06.02.2022 20:46:12] Entity: ***"Powers that dwell beyond are not keen to share space... they can 'steal' your shape even."

[06.02.2022 20:46:43] "Ridge": One strange place you're in to peak their interest like that.

[06.02.2022 20:46:44] Entity: ***"And the memories. Precious memories."

[06.02.2022 20:46:51] "Ridge": Usually you see The Order that often in the Omicrons.

[06.02.2022 20:46:55] A/)-Revenant: They can not only read it, but replicate too?

[06.02.2022 20:47:22] A/)-Revenant: I'm one of the most wanted upon their lists.

[06.02.2022 20:47:37] Vagrant.Nephele: "The only thing *ours* truly care for, meticulously collected thoughts orbiting around the core of Light"

[06.02.2022 20:47:43] A/)-Revenant: Or did you forget they tried to kill my family and played on my ability to forgive?

[06.02.2022 20:48:05] Entity: ***(curious) "They are not what they ~seem~... wearing familiar 'skins'. Perhaps they are 'shy' to show themselves yet."

[06.02.2022 20:48:36] "Ridge": I didn't.

[06.02.2022 20:48:48] Vagrant.Nephele: "The very thought of being truly endangered feels...refreshing"

[06.02.2022 20:48:56] "Ridge":  ...and I'm somehow starting to believe I will reach that "Most Wanted" list. One way or another.

[06.02.2022 20:49:16] A/)-Revenant: If one of them believes that you are romancing me, you are in no doubt in their scopes.

[06.02.2022 20:49:19] Vagrant.Nephele: "Harbinger, *yours* did mention tresspassers"

[06.02.2022 20:49:24] A/)-Revenant: A Valor.

[06.02.2022 20:49:26] "Ridge": I doubt.

[06.02.2022 20:49:28] A/)-Revenant: It appears to have ran away.

[06.02.2022 20:49:36] "Ridge": I doubt anyone would believe that.

[06.02.2022 20:49:37] A/)-Revenant: You are with me, they saw you with me at the anomaly.

[06.02.2022 20:49:38] Entity: ***"But wary the moment when they no longer abide to maker's restrictions..."

[06.02.2022 20:50:01] A/)-Revenant: You could have at least warned us they were a conscious entity and not autonomous defenders.

[06.02.2022 20:50:37] Vagrant.Nephele: "It clashed againts *theirs* but felt nothing inside these husks"

[06.02.2022 20:50:38] "Ridge": So?

[06.02.2022 20:50:52] Entity: ***"Concious... unlike ~us~ and our bretheren you will find no means nor chance to 'speak'."

[06.02.2022 20:50:54] A/)-Revenant: You have been seen with me multiple times.

[06.02.2022 20:51:50] Entity: ***"Perhaps the only 'word' they will listen that of the Makers."

[06.02.2022 20:52:15] A/)-Revenant: They can learn, adapt, grow, problem solve, evolve. A fatal perception of mine to perceive them as a lesser guardian.

[06.02.2022 20:52:15] "Ridge":  ...so? I'd be with you anywhere, honestly. Doesn't matter who sees us, right?

[06.02.2022 20:52:19] Vagrant.Nephele: "But the ever hungry jaws of time devoured *theirs*"

[06.02.2022 20:52:26] A/)-Revenant: It means you're associated, and that they will target you.

[06.02.2022 20:52:40] Vagrant.Nephele: "Or maybe did they not?"

[06.02.2022 20:52:51] "Ridge": I can't be innocent forever, right? 

[06.02.2022 20:53:17] A/)-Revenant: You're already not, if that counts.

[06.02.2022 20:53:26] Vagrant.Nephele: "Makers devised all the Tribes, how would *theirs* perish while tools of *theirs* remain?"

[06.02.2022 20:53:30] Vagrant.Nephele: "Illogical"

[06.02.2022 20:53:40] A/)-Revenant: Perhaps something happened.

[06.02.2022 20:53:40] "Ridge":  ...I meant. Not being hunted by anyone.

[06.02.2022 20:53:46] A/)-Revenant: You don't know that.

[06.02.2022 20:53:50] A/)-Revenant: They /are/ keeping watch on you.

[06.02.2022 20:53:58] A/)-Revenant: You would be a fool to think otherwise.

[06.02.2022 20:54:07] A/)-Revenant: Especially after what you told the Section Eight pilot.

[06.02.2022 20:54:25] Entity: ***"To presume intent of maker's will is a folly, 'lost one'."

[06.02.2022 20:54:32] "Ridge": That he should open his eyes for once and not have me report every basic detail?

[06.02.2022 20:55:25] A/)-Revenant: Whatever the case, they are not present - and it is impossible to even begin to dare replicate them or comprehend

[06.02.2022 20:55:30] A/)-Revenant: what they might have been.

[06.02.2022 20:55:47] Vagrant.Nephele: "Remark of *yours* started this chain of speculation"

[06.02.2022 20:55:51] Vagrant.Nephele: "Maker's Word"

[06.02.2022 20:56:25] Vagrant.Nephele: "Perhaps a command remains, even if the commander perished"

[06.02.2022 20:56:25] 2022-02-06 20:57:21 SMT  Traffic control alert: Vagrant.Nephele has requested to dock

[06.02.2022 20:56:38] "Ridge":  ...and that I'm not going to report anything to Section 8 anymore. 

[06.02.2022 20:56:52] "Ridge": If that wasn't clear from the last time we talked business.

[06.02.2022 20:57:03] A/)-Revenant: Oh, absolutely.

[06.02.2022 20:58:13] Vagrant.Nephele: "Perhaps the command could be affected, or even negated"

[06.02.2022 20:58:17] A/)-Revenant: I have pondered if there was some form of override, but... it is hard to determine anything.

[06.02.2022 20:58:34] A/)-Revenant: If it has been so long, directives can become corrupted, twisted. Lost through time.

[06.02.2022 20:58:58] "Ridge": Partly irradiated, but better than no wing at all. I'll get the droids to attach it. Thank god I don't have to pay for my own-

[06.02.2022 20:59:00] "Ridge":  -repairs.

[06.02.2022 20:59:34] A/)-Revenant: I was going to show you around but - oh well.

[06.02.2022 20:59:55] A/)-Revenant: The Valkyrie, it will need repairing - the one I am willing to part with. It has been a bit... ehrm... Modified.

[06.02.2022 20:59:57] A/)-Revenant: To say the least.

[06.02.2022 21:00:48] Vagrant.Nephele: "What became of the Banishers, which has tracked you thought the gate?"

[06.02.2022 21:00:54] "Ridge": Valk-- right. The one you're willing to "part with"?

[06.02.2022 21:01:00] A/)-Revenant: They flew off. I was truly expecting them to kill me.

[06.02.2022 21:01:02] A/)-Revenant: Yes.

[06.02.2022 21:01:05] "Ridge": You had more of them? I thought you said you had only one.

[06.02.2022 21:01:18] A/)-Revenant: I told you that I had one to give you.

[06.02.2022 21:01:40] A/)-Revenant: Which was mine, known as the "Core|Wraith" from long time ago. I've had it since I was a Guildmaster.

[06.02.2022 21:01:44] Entity: ***"Irritating pests..."

[06.02.2022 21:02:00] A/)-Revenant: They will persist, it is Human nature to do so.

[06.02.2022 21:02:11] A/)-Revenant: Truthfully, I had thoughts. To not repair that jump drive.

[06.02.2022 21:02:12] A/)-Revenant: Pure spite.

[06.02.2022 21:02:39] "Ridge": A Core Valkyrie?

[06.02.2022 21:02:51] "Ridge": Y-- I always forget you were part of The Core.

[06.02.2022 21:02:53] Vagrant.Nephele: "Banishers, trapped eternally in foreign void, amusing thought"

[06.02.2022 21:03:12] A/)-Revenant: I've had it modified over the years, but I put it into storage at least five years ago before I went into stasis.

[06.02.2022 21:03:27] Vagrant.Nephele: "Banisher, Bird. What would be the next step on the path?"

[06.02.2022 21:03:40] Vagrant.Nephele: "Now that it tasted the mystery, it will not stay aside"

[06.02.2022 21:03:45] Entity: ***"Shall we 'bet' if they return favor (entertainingly)"

[06.02.2022 21:03:53] A/)-Revenant: Oh, they would.

[06.02.2022 21:04:09] "Ridge":  ...has it turned brown from the rust?

[06.02.2022 21:04:41] A/)-Revenant: It needs parts replacing, and the 'assimilated' parts gutted.

[06.02.2022 21:04:47] Entity: ***"As a once ~dreamer~kind the notion of 'betting' upon odds and chances delivered much amusement."

[06.02.2022 21:04:52] "Ridge": For example?

[06.02.2022 21:05:03] A/)-Revenant: I don't think you want to be stabbed by a machine into your brain.

[06.02.2022 21:05:40] A/)-Revenant: How can you bet - what would even be put upon the 'table' so to speak?

[06.02.2022 21:05:54] Entity: ***"Instead of inferring the outcome letting one remain blissful for the purpose of blind 'gain'..."

[06.02.2022 21:05:58] "Ridge": What?!

[06.02.2022 21:06:31] A/)-Revenant: Pffhehheh.

[06.02.2022 21:07:19] A/)-Revenant: Is there a problem, Vincent?

[06.02.2022 21:07:56] "Ridge": You're telling me there was a giant nail stabbing your brain each time you boarded the ship?

[06.02.2022 21:07:58] A/)-Revenant: Hmmm.

[06.02.2022 21:08:04] A/)-Revenant: Who said it was a nail?

[06.02.2022 21:08:36] "Ridge": Then what?

[06.02.2022 21:08:40] "Ridge": A giant syringe?

[06.02.2022 21:09:12] A/)-Revenant: Oh, I'll let you daydream all about it. It's going to be removed in the end.

[06.02.2022 21:10:12] A/)-Revenant: I wonder.

[06.02.2022 21:10:24] "Ridge":  ...it won't uh...kill the one that removes them. Right?

[06.02.2022 21:10:45] A/)-Revenant: I would never hurt you.

[06.02.2022 21:10:57] A/)-Revenant: For all intents and purposes, it will just be a regular ship.

[06.02.2022 21:11:01] A/)-Revenant: I am merely teasing you.

[06.02.2022 21:11:38] "Ridge": A normal ship. The ship of the former Guildmistress.

[06.02.2022 21:11:44] "Ridge": "Normal" ship.

[06.02.2022 21:11:57] A/)-Revenant: Yes. Normal.

[06.02.2022 21:12:00] A/)-Revenant: No one will know.

[06.02.2022 21:12:07] "Ridge": I will know.

[06.02.2022 21:12:23] A/)-Revenant: Then you will fly it with pride then, no?

[06.02.2022 21:12:25] "Ridge":  ...and there is a slight possibility Hachette will know, too.

[06.02.2022 21:12:35] A/)-Revenant: She won't. I never told her.

[06.02.2022 21:12:40] A/)-Revenant: She only has one close secret of mine.

[06.02.2022 21:12:41] A/)-Revenant: Well, two.

[06.02.2022 21:12:52] A/)-Revenant: The second was rather unwilling.

[06.02.2022 21:13:00] Vagrant.Nephele: "Truth remains hidden, the only result seem to be further antagonisms"

[06.02.2022 21:13:17] Vagrant.Nephele: "Flow of cycles shall uncover"

[06.02.2022 21:13:31] "Ridge": Alright...?

[06.02.2022 21:14:03] Entity: ***"A little 'guardian' is quite jealous of others..."

[06.02.2022 21:15:02] "Ridge": W-Well. I-I mean I might fly it with uh. "Pride". Silent pride. Appreciation.

[06.02.2022 21:15:37] Entity: ***"The moment of depature arrived."

[06.02.2022 21:15:51] A/)-Revenant: [There was a forced tone, dry sarcasm] Oh, and if you get it blown up, I will forcefully remove your brain and shove it into

[06.02.2022 21:15:52] A/)-Revenant: a jar.

[06.02.2022 21:16:10] "Ridge": Something to remember once we uh. Push through?-- uh.

[06.02.2022 21:16:15] "Ridge": Please don't do that.

[06.02.2022 21:16:30] Vagrant.Nephele: "It vaguely felt the presence of *yours*"

[06.02.2022 21:16:33] A/)-Revenant: Hm.

[06.02.2022 21:16:41] Vagrant.Nephele: "Kin singing through husk, encased in another"

[06.02.2022 21:16:50] Ki'Shar: "As I felt its presence nearby."

[06.02.2022 21:18:20] Ki'Shar: "There was no point to remain hidden in shadows."

[06.02.2022 21:18:31] Vagrant.Nephele: "It wonders...Light of *yours* remain a voice in the choir of the Mainshare"

[06.02.2022 21:18:36] Ki'Shar: "Yet we hope we didn't interrupt anything in particular."

[06.02.2022 21:18:49] Vagrant.Nephele: "or it is mistaken?"

[06.02.2022 21:19:00] Ki'Shar: "It is -not- mistaken."

[06.02.2022 21:19:06] "Ridge": Do I-- right. What other parts need to be replaced?

[06.02.2022 21:19:26] A/)-Revenant: I will send you a list over the comms.

[06.02.2022 21:20:10] "Ridge": I-- I might be able to e-ehm. Y-Yeah I will ehm. Get through the list and try my best.

[09.02.2022 16:50:25] Vatan: *A soft voice echoes, vaguely masculine, though of many voices.* "Yours brings the Lost with it."

[09.02.2022 16:51:37] A/)-Revenant: [Muttering quietly, hoping that they would pick up] Unintended. 

[09.02.2022 16:51:59] A/)-Revenant: Will it not suffice to commune in private?

[09.02.2022 16:52:30] Vatan: "We shall allow. But These Ones shall remain shouded, nearby."

[09.02.2022 16:52:42] A/)-Revenant: I understand.

[09.02.2022 16:53:13] A/)-Revenant: You recall our conversation, regarding the intent of Harbinger - how you believed he was working towards a negative outcome

[09.02.2022 16:53:15] A/)-Revenant: to your kind?

[09.02.2022 16:53:26] Vatan: "Towards All."

[09.02.2022 16:54:15] A/)-Revenant: Regardless... I do not believe the intention is that. Briefly, I spoke, to understand if this was a mad man's quest.

[09.02.2022 16:55:14] Vatan: "The Bird must understand differences of intentions and results."

[09.02.2022 16:55:27] Vatan: "This Knowledge should be Known."

[09.02.2022 16:56:28] A/)-Revenant: With the Order getting involved, more and more, the outcome will only steer towards all being inflicted with their carelessness

[09.02.2022 16:56:41] A/)-Revenant: Results - cannot be determined. I do not think even he can determine it

[09.02.2022 16:57:07] Vatan: "The Light seeks our Knowledge left for us. We all have such drives."

[09.02.2022 16:57:16] Vatan: "We must seek for such."

[09.02.2022 16:57:27] A/)-Revenant: What I believe he insinuated through -- Yes. Something to 'provide opportunities' to your kind.

[09.02.2022 16:57:56] Vatan: "Yet this knowledge is safeguarded by the Unknowns."

[09.02.2022 16:58:46] A/)-Revenant: I do not believe his intent is of malicion, at least, not at all for your kind.

[09.02.2022 16:59:05] Vatan: "This Unknownshare heeds not our song. It is without equal. We fear not the intention. We fear the result."

[09.02.2022 16:59:31] A/)-Revenant: And who would you rather control the result?

[09.02.2022 16:59:39] A/)-Revenant: The Order? Liberty?

[09.02.2022 16:59:45] Vatan: "None."

[09.02.2022 17:00:03] A/)-Revenant: It appears that he aware of some inner workings of the "graves" - as Shozak called them.

[09.02.2022 17:00:29] Vatan: "These Ones wish it not to occur at all. Not until such time as the Light is prepared for what is to be unleashed."

[09.02.2022 17:01:23] A/)-Revenant: The consequences are unknown - yet the effects can be controlled. Your kind, will not be harmed by the guardians.

[09.02.2022 17:01:41] A/)-Revenant: To search within - does not mean to release. Merely a means to investigate, I foresee.

[09.02.2022 17:01:42] Vatan: "Yet theirs has."

[09.02.2022 17:02:17] A/)-Revenant: Both of the Tribes know of the guardians, they know how to cleanse themselves of the mark.

[09.02.2022 17:02:45] Vatan: "Such guardians have spat towards those of the Lost. Such occurances of these guardians, these sentinels, came after your-

[09.02.2022 17:02:49] Vatan: deliving and searching."

[09.02.2022 17:03:07] A/)-Revenant: I pondered if the quest was insanity, a delve into darkness. There is some foresight, and understanding. And there is

[09.02.2022 17:03:09] A/)-Revenant: certainly purpose.

[09.02.2022 17:03:19] A/)-Revenant: These guardians - are merely after those who disturb.

[09.02.2022 17:03:31] Vatan: "Yours has disturbed."

[09.02.2022 17:03:33] Vatan: "The Key."

[09.02.2022 17:03:35] Vatan: "The Bird."

[09.02.2022 17:03:38] Vatan: "The Banishers."

[09.02.2022 17:03:44] Vatan: "The Schemer."

[09.02.2022 17:03:45] A/)-Revenant: The K'Hara are fine.

[09.02.2022 17:04:00] A/)-Revenant: Shozak, knows better than to play. He watches, with great amusement, keeping distance.

[09.02.2022 17:04:44] Vatan: "These Ones see not reason to give bond to this song."

[09.02.2022 17:04:46] A/)-Revenant: [Silently, they pondered, tapping the controls. ]

[09.02.2022 17:05:48] Vatan: "Such clashing with the Unknownshare only occured once Yours and the Schemer delived into their Voids."

[09.02.2022 17:05:58] Vatan: "These events are not seperated."

[09.02.2022 17:06:37] A/)-Revenant: The Lost Tribe involved themselves with ... I do not know their reasoning, but it appears they found themselves with fascinatio

[09.02.2022 17:07:00] A/)-Revenant: Shozak, found great amusement. But nevertheless, I do not believe I have seen the Sentinels return to harass others.

[09.02.2022 17:07:19] A/)-Revenant: Only to circle back to investigate their incursion point.

[09.02.2022 17:07:56] Vatan: "The Lost, we know not what their designs are. What their designs in the Void on the edge of the Horizon is."

[09.02.2022 17:08:05] Vatan: "We know not the designs of the Mirrorshare."

[09.02.2022 17:08:09] Vatan: "We know not."

[09.02.2022 17:08:42] A/)-Revenant: I have remained vigilant, to remain observant for any notes or indication of Harbinger potentially holding malice.

[09.02.2022 17:08:53] A/)-Revenant: There has been no cause for such yet.

[09.02.2022 17:09:31] Vatan: "We believe The Bird not a sound mind to sing of such."

[09.02.2022 17:09:41] Vatan: "As such, the bond it has with the Elder."

[09.02.2022 17:09:52] A/)-Revenant: Yet, he does not hold any bonds to the machine.

[09.02.2022 17:09:59] A/)-Revenant: He cannot interface with what I can.

[09.02.2022 17:10:30] Vatan: "We remain unconvinced."

[09.02.2022 17:10:50] A/)-Revenant: Whether you are, or not, remains irrelevant - 

[09.02.2022 17:11:01] A/)-Revenant:  ... For there will always be another, outside of influence.

[09.02.2022 17:11:14] Vatan: "Define."

[09.02.2022 17:13:15] A/)-Revenant: Automative life forms. My assistant.

[09.02.2022 17:16:09] A/)-Revenant: Regardless, the intent was expressed.

[09.02.2022 17:16:42] A/)-Revenant: I would have gladly terminated myself if it meant preventing something terrible.

[09.02.2022 17:17:00] A/)-Revenant: Yet, there is no hint, clue, or key, that suggests such recklessness.

[09.02.2022 17:17:24] Vatan: "Such paths may be chosen for it."

[09.02.2022 17:24:31] Vatan: "We ponder if The Bird desires to sing of other designs."

[09.02.2022 17:25:15] A/)-Revenant: We have discovered those constructs that the Sentinels have left behind.

[09.02.2022 17:25:43] Vatan: "Define these objects and husks."

[09.02.2022 17:25:46] A/)-Revenant: It is uncertain as for what their purpose is, studies have yet to be concluded.

[09.02.2022 17:25:56] A/)-Revenant: Hmm ... A four pointed star structure.

[09.02.2022 17:26:05] A/)-Revenant: Thin - Bioorganic ... Stone - almost.

[09.02.2022 17:26:18] Vatan: "We are familiar with such designs."

[09.02.2022 17:26:18] A/)-Revenant: Mineral dense composit.

[09.02.2022 17:27:00] Vatan: "Such is cast and given to dreams to create. Such are universal in design."

[09.02.2022 17:27:21] A/)-Revenant: Hm. Well. Regardless, these are not the only things appearing.

[09.02.2022 17:27:38] A/)-Revenant: The Vagrants, have found a new home near Gallia. And the Order have begun to surface more and more.

[09.02.2022 17:28:00] A/)-Revenant: Section Eight has resurfaced in Hudson, Kepler, and the Taus.

[09.02.2022 17:28:07] A/)-Revenant: Overwatch - is deploying heavier assets.

[09.02.2022 17:28:32] Vatan: "We've observed the Banishers within the Kepler Voids."

[09.02.2022 17:29:25] Vatan: "This 'home' is unknown to Ours."

[09.02.2022 17:29:26] A/)-Revenant: Worrying, as are their blind ignorance.

[09.02.2022 17:29:46] A/)-Revenant: Overwatch Agents followed the Key through to the pathways.

[09.02.2022 17:30:06] A/)-Revenant: Yet - they were clueless on the other end.

[09.02.2022 17:30:21] A/)-Revenant: Lost. Without thought. Sheer idiocy. They almost destroyed the exit from that place.

[09.02.2022 17:30:45] Vatan: "We put little considerations into the Knowledge of the Banishers."

[09.02.2022 17:31:11] A/)-Revenant: Yet - they are another driving force - whether they know what they are doing or not - far worse unintended consequences may

[09.02.2022 17:31:12] A/)-Revenant: surface.

[09.02.2022 17:31:37] Vatan: "Such is within possibilities, as we have considered."

[09.02.2022 17:32:38] Vatan: "These Ones have not the ability to influence the outcome further than it already has."

[09.02.2022 17:32:58] A/)-Revenant: Unless they get within the anomaly.

[09.02.2022 17:33:16] Vatan: "We are without merit in those voids. We can not act."

[09.02.2022 17:34:17] Vatan: "These Ones, This Light, has no further paths to take involving these events."

[09.02.2022 17:34:38] Vatan: "The Bird, the Key, the Banisher, the Schemer. The Shares. All heed not Our Song."

[09.02.2022 17:35:26] Vatan: "We are without paths. We have put forth attempts, all in vain."

[09.02.2022 17:36:22] Vatan: "These Ones request knowledge on the Lost Home. So we may know of such voids to avoid."

[09.02.2022 17:36:51] A/)-Revenant: Melia is nearby, inquire for a safer path. My knowledge will only endanger you, too close to hostiles.

[09.02.2022 17:37:16] A/)-Revenant: The Sentinels - although without communication - certainly possess problem solving.

[09.02.2022 17:37:36] A/)-Revenant: You believe that this Journey should not be taken?

[09.02.2022 17:37:52] A/)-Revenant: Shall I perhaps attempt to find Harbinger - so that you may attempt to communicate with him?

[09.02.2022 17:38:16] Vatan: "We have discussed. We have shared our ponderings of the Journey."

[09.02.2022 17:38:46] Vatan: "These Ones understand little reason for the Elder to commune with Ours."

[09.02.2022 17:39:16] Vatan: "It will use Ours, or cast Ours away."

[09.02.2022 17:39:36] A/)-Revenant: I have doubts that they would. Perhaps you could ask the Vagrants to accompany you for protection?

[09.02.2022 17:40:05] Vatan: "The Bird has not heeded our Song."

[09.02.2022 17:40:26] A/)-Revenant: And you did not heed mine. Seek perspectives, do not ensnare yourself into a singular dimension.

[09.02.2022 17:40:42] A/)-Revenant: Perhaps this Journey is madness. Perhaps it is not. Speak to him, evaluate your own understanding.

[09.02.2022 17:41:30] A/)-Revenant: As you said, I am ""merely but a puppet of him"" - *teasingly* Perhaps it is futile to speak to me then.

[09.02.2022 17:42:13] Vatan: "The Bird requested. We came to heed such call out of respect."

[09.02.2022 17:42:26] A/)-Revenant: I understand. And I apologise, if you believe this has wasted your time.

[09.02.2022 17:42:50] Vatan: "The cycles remain as they are."

[09.02.2022 17:43:25] Vatan: "We shall agree to commune with the Elder if it desires only such exchange of songs."

[09.02.2022 17:43:41] Vatan: "It it requires more, it shall not occur."

[09.02.2022 17:45:19] A/)-Revenant: I will do what I can to try and reach out.

[09.02.2022 17:45:49] Vatan: "We shall observe until such time The Bird "Reaches Out"."

[09.02.2022 17:46:29] A/)-Revenant: I wonder if I could prod the little sleeping -- ...

[23.02.2022 23:18:56] 2022-02-23 23:19:05 SMT  Traffic control alert: A/)-Lazurith has requested to dock

[23.02.2022 23:19:50] A/)-Lazurith: So, sitrep: we know that we don't know anything about where they're from or why they're striking.

[23.02.2022 23:19:58] A/)-Lazurith: Okay, we do know where.

[23.02.2022 23:20:13] A/)-Revenant: Why they're striking; we can only speculate off of what we know.

[23.02.2022 23:20:15] A/)-Revenant: Traces.

[23.02.2022 23:20:24] A/)-Revenant: It is likely the Blood Dragons have also meddled with the Triage.

[23.02.2022 23:21:30] A/)-Revenant: Why they are striking? Perhaps they are expanding the zone that they consider necessary to protect. 

[23.02.2022 23:21:41] A/)-Revenant: [...]

[23.02.2022 23:21:43] A/)-Lazurith: That's... fantastic.

[23.02.2022 23:22:23] OS&C|ONE-Beefmaster: Hilda: good day,

[23.02.2022 23:22:30] A/)-Revenant: Say.

[23.02.2022 23:22:33] A/)-Revenant: Cruise Vessel.

[23.02.2022 23:22:47] A/)-Revenant: You don't happen to be selling any of those refreshments, do you?

[23.02.2022 23:23:10] OS&C|ONE-Beefmaster: Hilda: hmm well i am a cook so i cook with them but i can give you some. 

[23.02.2022 23:23:19] A/)-Lazurith: Your thirst for wine is just unquenchable.

[23.02.2022 23:23:24] A/)-Revenant: You know me too well.

[23.02.2022 23:23:41] A/)-Revenant: I can offer you ten million credits for five bottles.

[23.02.2022 23:23:44] A/)-Revenant: well, crates.

[23.02.2022 23:23:52] OS&C|ONE-Beefmaster: Hilda: that is way to much

[23.02.2022 23:23:55] A/)-Revenant: Why?

[23.02.2022 23:23:58] A/)-Lazurith: Hahaha. This is so you. 

[23.02.2022 23:24:22] A/)-Revenant: Come now, I am offering.

[23.02.2022 23:24:36] A/)-Revenant: Take the money.

[23.02.2022 23:24:38] A/)-Revenant: Do it.

[23.02.2022 23:24:42] OS&C|ONE-Beefmaster: Hilda: they are good but that would be as if i steal from you. 300k at max thats would be fair.

[23.02.2022 23:24:46] A/)-Revenant: Take.

[23.02.2022 23:24:48] A/)-Revenant: The.

[23.02.2022 23:24:49] A/)-Revenant: Monetary.

[23.02.2022 23:24:51] A/)-Revenant: Goods.

[23.02.2022 23:25:07] A/)-Revenant: Excellent.

[23.02.2022 23:25:09] A/)-Revenant: Thank you.

[23.02.2022 23:25:13] A/)-Lazurith: Hey, while you're at it.

[23.02.2022 23:25:16] OS&C|ONE-Beefmaster: Hilda: *sighs* Fine but i will Donate a lot of them to Charity.

[23.02.2022 23:25:22] A/)-Revenant: Kind hearted.

[23.02.2022 23:25:32] A/)-Revenant: Don't donate it to a Crayter Charity.

[23.02.2022 23:25:44] A/)-Lazurith: Are you by any chance offering some of that vodka in your hold?

[23.02.2022 23:25:51] OS&C|ONE-Beefmaster: Hilda: I donate it to Orbital Program. 

[23.02.2022 23:26:07] A/)-Revenant: Ah-ha! Orbital bombardment programs are an existing charity?!

[23.02.2022 23:26:20] A/)-Lazurith: O-of course I'm paying. Please. I don't want to keep her waiting.

[23.02.2022 23:26:35] A/)-Revenant: I heard that.

[23.02.2022 23:26:37] A/)-Lazurith: Five crates would be enough.

[23.02.2022 23:26:55] A/)-Lazurith: Lucky numbers.

[23.02.2022 23:27:01] OS&C|ONE-Beefmaster: Hilda: the Orbital Spa and Cruise Wildlife Program. 

[23.02.2022 23:27:25] A/)-Lazurith: I have my carnal vices too. Forever bound to them. Oh, the misery!

[23.02.2022 23:27:26] A/)-Revenant: Are you done indulging on your alcoholic addictions?

[23.02.2022 23:27:30] A/)-Lazurith: What, me?!

[23.02.2022 23:27:31] A/)-Revenant: Come now.

[23.02.2022 23:27:36] OS&C|ONE-Beefmaster: Hilda: you are realy Generouse and your Money will safe many cute Animals,

[23.02.2022 23:27:41] OS&C|ONE-Beefmaster: Hilda: both of you. 

[23.02.2022 23:28:07] A/)-Revenant: Let us hope we weren't trailed in the meanwhile.

[23.02.2022 23:28:17] A/)-Revenant: I had hoped for it to be a quick transaction.

[23.02.2022 23:28:37] A/)-Revenant: There was a greater purpose to this rather than bland ... indulgences.

[23.02.2022 23:29:37] A/)-Revenant: You'll see soon enough.

[23.02.2022 23:29:40] A/)-Revenant:  ... Why Vodka, though?

[23.02.2022 23:29:50] A/)-Lazurith: It's straight to the point. Almost barbaric.

[23.02.2022 23:30:03] A/)-Revenant: Do you intend to create flammable projectiles?

[23.02.2022 23:30:12] A/)-Revenant: Perhaps a concotion of a deadly chemical formula.

[23.02.2022 23:30:50] A/)-Lazurith:  ...No. I mix it with different flavors. It's... not exactly the classiest choice for a drink.

[23.02.2022 23:31:11] A/)-Revenant: Oh, you really do intend to disable your neurons, hm?

[23.02.2022 23:31:24] A/)-Lazurith: Only when I deserve it.

[23.02.2022 23:31:42] A/)-Revenant: I won't report it to your superiors,  but I will be slightly disappointed.

[23.02.2022 23:32:00] A/)-Lazurith: You wouldn't...! That's so cruel.

[23.02.2022 23:32:09] A/)-Revenant: Oh, but I will.

[23.02.2022 23:32:11] A/)-Lazurith: And here I was, about to offer you some rice. 

[23.02.2022 23:32:22] A/)-Revenant:  ... Why do you have a bag of rice?

[23.02.2022 23:32:27] A/)-Lazurith: Two, to be exact.

[23.02.2022 23:32:31] A/)-Revenant: Why?!

[23.02.2022 23:32:46] A/)-Lazurith: I figured you were famished after such a long run. 

[23.02.2022 23:33:21] A/)-Revenant:  So you went out and obtained... Rice.

[23.02.2022 23:34:09] A/)-Revenant: While your gesture is, uhm, much noted. It is not necessary at this moment of time.

[23.02.2022 23:34:15] A/)-Lazurith: It's... diplomatic though, isn't it? There has never been a palate that disagreed with it... and...

[23.02.2022 23:34:16] A/)-Revenant: For now, I reject your offer of ... two bags of rice...

[23.02.2022 23:34:41] A/)-Lazurith: I was told it would be a small plate. A small PORTION, for heaven's sakes.

[23.02.2022 23:34:49] A/)-Lazurith: Whatever will I do with two entire bags of rice.

[23.02.2022 23:34:56] A/)-Revenant: Although, if you find that you have electronics that are incapacitated from moisture - you can simply

[23.02.2022 23:35:01] A/)-Revenant: demoist them in the rice.

[23.02.2022 23:35:04] A/)-Revenant: So there is that at least.

[23.02.2022 23:35:20] A/)-Lazurith: Why would I ever-- 

[23.02.2022 23:35:28] A/)-Revenant: You may never know when you have a coolant leak.

[23.02.2022 23:35:37] A/)-Lazurith: I... that was embarassing. I really thought I was going to do you a favour. But I got screwed over.

[23.02.2022 23:35:59] A/)-Revenant: My gift to you. Enjoy the two bags of rice. 

[23.02.2022 23:36:11] A/)-Revenant: Perhaps it will teach you in a lesson in conservation of resources.

[23.02.2022 23:36:26] A/)-Revenant: They will be useful in the future, I do not doubt.

[23.02.2022 23:36:48] A/)-Lazurith: Or better yet, in being clear and not hasty at the marketplace. 

[23.02.2022 23:36:55] A/)-Lazurith: I really wanted to do something nice for once.

[23.02.2022 23:37:01] A/)-Lazurith: Eghhh... 

[23.02.2022 23:37:11] A/)-Revenant: I do appreciate your gesture, but, did you not think saving me was not a nice notion?

[23.02.2022 23:37:20] A/)-Revenant: Or is my life worth less than ... two bags of rice?

[23.02.2022 23:37:21] A/)-Revenant: Pahahah!

[23.02.2022 23:38:33] A/)-Revenant: Come now. Do not fret, you did not lose my favour.

[23.02.2022 23:38:40] A/)-Lazurith: Of course, I'll always be here. You have completely won me over by, well, solving a lifetime worth of questions. 

[23.02.2022 23:39:08] A/)-Lazurith: Erm. Yeah. It really was a big deal for me. 

[23.02.2022 23:39:39] A/)-Revenant: I have heard the most displeasing rumors, although I was never present on the Spires to confirm it.

[23.02.2022 23:39:48] A/)-Revenant: You were lashing out at others, so they say.

[23.02.2022 23:40:02] A/)-Revenant: Was there something wrong?

[23.02.2022 23:40:27] A/)-Lazurith:  ...I did. I couldn't understand where I was going wrong, and why I couldn't fit in. 

[23.02.2022 23:40:42] A/)-Lazurith: And why I broke over when others didn't. 

[23.02.2022 23:40:59] A/)-Revenant: Ah. Most individuals click after a lengthy while. I suppose your transition into the third generation did not go well.

[23.02.2022 23:41:20] A/)-Revenant:  ... You know. I never fully transitioned, myself.

[23.02.2022 23:41:30] A/)-Lazurith:  ...Really? But...

[23.02.2022 23:41:31] A/)-Revenant: I still have some second generation implants.

[23.02.2022 23:41:54] A/)-Revenant: Heavily modified, optimised for life support, rather than assistance with processing.

[23.02.2022 23:42:01] A/)-Lazurith: I can't say I'm privy to that knowledge. What's the difference between- 

[23.02.2022 23:42:03] A/)-Lazurith: Oh.

[23.02.2022 23:42:23] A/)-Revenant: You all chose your perks, to enhance your intellectual capabilities, or fighting capabilities.

[23.02.2022 23:42:53] A/)-Lazurith: Was there... ever a first generation?

[23.02.2022 23:42:56] A/)-Revenant: Hm. Yes.

[23.02.2022 23:43:50] A/)-Revenant: First generation - well. My memory is rather hazed. I do not entirely recall it.

[23.02.2022 23:44:56] A/)-Revenant: I believe there were some issues regarding the recognition system, the IFF integration for security was not quite

[23.02.2022 23:44:57] A/)-Revenant: attuned.

[23.02.2022 23:45:19] A/)-Lazurith: Erm.

[23.02.2022 23:45:20] A/)-Revenant: Nevertheless, it was a hit and miss generation. It was not mandatory.

[23.02.2022 23:45:33] A/)-Revenant:  -- Why --

[23.02.2022 23:46:05] A/)-Lazurith:  ...What...? 

==========================

[23.02.2022 23:46:08] A/)-Revenant: Oh, they're not -- [There was moment, a sigh of relief]

[23.02.2022 23:46:13] A/)-Revenant: I thought it was the Omicron Tribe.

[23.02.2022 23:46:29] Entity: [He seem pays no attention to guests, completely focused on the strange 'object' outside the shrine]

[23.02.2022 23:46:53] A/)-Revenant: Three Guardians.

[23.02.2022 23:47:11] A/)-Revenant: Something must have happened, hmm?

[23.02.2022 23:47:15] A/)-Lazurith: I've never seen any of them around here, so close to the Shrine. I think my stomach is in one of my boots right now.

[23.02.2022 23:47:37] A/)-Revenant: Power off your weapons, do not present yourself as a threat.

[23.02.2022 23:47:48] A/)-Lazurith: O-of course. Never.

[23.02.2022 23:48:21] A/)-Revenant: [gazed at Harbinger for a moment]

[23.02.2022 23:48:22] Entity: [three 'objects' outside powered up, at the same time three warforms glow increased till they became pure white energy...]

[23.02.2022 23:48:41] Entity: [changing shape into orbs and disappearing within the 'objects' outside]

[23.02.2022 23:48:56] A/)-Revenant:  ...hm.

[23.02.2022 23:49:08] A/)-Revenant: [Gazed over to Lazurith for a moment]

[23.02.2022 23:49:31] A/)-Lazurith: They... they looked different. I don't...

[23.02.2022 23:49:39] Entity: ***"Have you come to -think- and -ponder- here?"

[23.02.2022 23:49:43] A/)-Revenant: I do not fully understand either.

[23.02.2022 23:49:46] A/)-Revenant: Oh - he's awake.

[23.02.2022 23:50:05] A/)-Revenant: [nervously chuckles] To... some degree.

[23.02.2022 23:50:36] Entity: ***"~they~ won't bother you. It is a measure against -other- interlopers."

[23.02.2022 23:51:02] A/)-Revenant: How do you know that for certain? They still came after us in Shikoku.

[23.02.2022 23:51:04] Entity: ***"The -unwelcome guests- kind."

[23.02.2022 23:52:10] A/)-Lazurith: S-so... if they're here defending us, does that mean there's more... danger?

[23.02.2022 23:52:14] Entity: ***"Unlikely to be -the same-.

[23.02.2022 23:52:30] A/)-Revenant: Oh - Oh!

[23.02.2022 23:53:04] A/)-Revenant: I surely must have subconsciously drank some of that intoxicant. How could I misunderstand that?

[23.02.2022 23:53:24] Entity: ***"The place remembers the visitors and among those who visited... were the kind ~I~ would prefer not to rummage around."

[23.02.2022 23:54:08] A/)-Revenant: The Order came back again?

[23.02.2022 23:54:11] A/)-Lazurith: I'm not sure I understand myself.

[23.02.2022 23:54:24] A/)-Revenant: Those Guardians we just saw, are there to keep undesirables away from the Shrine.

[23.02.2022 23:54:38] A/)-Revenant: They were not Sentinels.

[23.02.2022 23:54:42] Entity: ***"Well observed."

[23.02.2022 23:54:59] A/)-Lazurith: Were... were they always there? 

[23.02.2022 23:55:05] A/)-Revenant: Are they "always here" now?

[23.02.2022 23:55:45] A/)-Lazurith: I can't sense them... it's as though they're all around me.

[23.02.2022 23:55:46] Entity: ***"They will remain 'here', bound to the place until relinquished from this ~purpose~."

[23.02.2022 23:56:48] A/)-Revenant: You can relax, Lazurith, the Sentinels won't chase us here.

[23.02.2022 23:56:53] A/)-Revenant:  ... I hope. 

[23.02.2022 23:57:11] A/)-Lazurith: Yes... I hope so, too. 

[23.02.2022 23:57:23] A/)-Revenant: That gnawing feeling you may be experiencing? That pluck in the back of your head?

[23.02.2022 23:57:43] A/)-Revenant: I'm not entirely sure what it is. Not everyone feels it, but it can be felt here.

[23.02.2022 23:59:05] A/)-Lazurith: I... have to say, I was not able to sense this feeling months ago.

[23.02.2022 23:59:39] A/)-Revenant: Oh, good - you feel it too, I thought I was experiencing brain death.

[24.02.2022 00:00:09] A/)-Revenant: There it is again. That pluck.

[24.02.2022 00:00:18] A/)-Revenant: Akin to a harp string being tugged.

[24.02.2022 00:00:50] A/)-Revenant:  ... When did those Sentinels appear? Shortly after I malfunctioned?

[24.02.2022 00:00:53] A/)-Lazurith: I'd compare it to a feather between the shoulder blades - soft, but almost unnerving without the intention of being unnerving.

[24.02.2022 00:01:13] A/)-Lazurith: Oh, yes. 

[24.02.2022 00:01:34] A/)-Lazurith: They were simply twisting and turning around me, I had... no idea what to make of it.

[24.02.2022 00:01:46] A/)-Revenant: You haven't seen the Order lately, have you?

[24.02.2022 00:02:25] Entity: ***"(thinking) Confused one for another..."

[24.02.2022 00:02:26] A/)-Lazurith: No... the last Order operative I remember was that wayward cruiser in Kepler.

[24.02.2022 00:02:42] A/)-Revenant: The Section Eight. Hmmhrmm..

[24.02.2022 00:02:42] A/)-Lazurith: That was a long time ago, though. They've gone off the grid now.

[24.02.2022 00:02:53] A/)-Revenant:  I last detected Hawkins in Kepler a week ago.

[24.02.2022 00:04:05] A/)-Lazurith: I don't agree with the notion of playing "wait-and-see" with them. 

[24.02.2022 00:04:21] A/)-Revenant: I'm afraid we simply do not have the strength or the vitality to play on our terms.

[24.02.2022 00:05:16] Entity: ***"Then -use- knowledge against the clueless -foes-."

[24.02.2022 00:05:18] A/)-Revenant: The only hope we hold is understanding them. Clashing heads, will prove nothing.

[24.02.2022 00:05:59] A/)-Lazurith: But we have an edge over them. Over everyone, in fact.

[24.02.2022 00:06:09] A/)-Revenant: Elaborate.

[24.02.2022 00:06:36] A/)-Lazurith: I mean-- we know about the Tombs. The vault - whatever it is. 

[24.02.2022 00:06:57] Entity: ***"Do they not -wish- to play the ~saviour~, eager to throw oneselves into the fray?"

[24.02.2022 00:07:42] A/)-Revenant: Humanity will inevitably respond to the incursions as a threat, it is inevitable the others will attack.

[24.02.2022 00:07:51] A/)-Revenant: At best, they are slowing them down.

[24.02.2022 00:08:40] A/)-Revenant: Although... Lazurith, did you happen to witness one of the "anti nomad" rhetoric presentations many years ago 

[24.02.2022 00:08:42] A/)-Revenant: within the Spire?

[24.02.2022 00:09:23] A/)-Revenant: This is a sore topic to tread upon, but you recall Leviathan's disdain against the Nomads?

[24.02.2022 00:09:24] Entity: ***"-humanity- will quietly sleep, blissfully unaware, until the floor cracks give in and..."

[24.02.2022 00:09:44] A/)-Revenant: They are slowly waking up - Gallia has been made aware.

[24.02.2022 00:09:56] A/)-Revenant: -- I managed to eavesdrop upon an Order's meeting with them, but I digress.

[24.02.2022 00:10:16] A/)-Revenant: Do you recall Leviathan's quest for Nomad extermination, Lazurith?

[24.02.2022 00:10:35] A/)-Lazurith: I could really use a refresher. 

[24.02.2022 00:10:59] A/)-Revenant: I purposefully chose to forget some parts, but, there is a few details I recall. The projects.

[24.02.2022 00:11:41] A/)-Revenant: One, in particular, was aimed at disabling Nomad vessels, primarily to disrupt their energy synchronisation.

[24.02.2022 00:12:06] A/)-Revenant: An atrophic field to dampen energy. One of the clues into the research was found in the Leeds system, before it was 

[24.02.2022 00:12:07] A/)-Revenant: invaded.

[24.02.2022 00:12:27] A/)-Lazurith: In Leeds? 

[24.02.2022 00:12:48] A/)-Lazurith: That's an unusually well hidden oversight if it's in Leeds.

[24.02.2022 00:13:18] A/)-Revenant: Yes. There was a study regarding the interaction of the pollution fields with Nomad interdictors.

[24.02.2022 00:13:48] A/)-Revenant: Although, such is not the case these days, it was noted that they avoided the heavy smog fields, unless it was absolutely 

[24.02.2022 00:13:50] A/)-Revenant: necessary.

[24.02.2022 00:13:58] A/)-Lazurith: Oh! 

[24.02.2022 00:14:06] A/)-Lazurith: It... makes a lot more sense now.

[24.02.2022 00:15:13] A/)-Lazurith: But the Sentinels work differently, don't they?

[24.02.2022 00:15:21] A/)-Revenant: There was a compound - I forgot the name of it. A chemical smear that would disrupt the efficiency of the photosynthetic proces

[24.02.2022 00:15:26] A/)-Revenant: Likely, we do not know entirely.

[24.02.2022 00:15:47] A/)-Revenant: I informed the Vagrants to find the signal they operate on for hunting those afflicted with a scent.

[24.02.2022 00:16:10] A/)-Lazurith:  ...Worst case scenario, it won't work at all. 

[24.02.2022 00:16:25] A/)-Lazurith: Assuming they have a different physiology, that is.

[24.02.2022 00:16:42] A/)-Revenant: The Elders were struggling with understanding how the Shrine was blocking them out, unfortunately.

[24.02.2022 00:17:00] A/)-Revenant: Ah, well, shooting them will only work for so long.

[24.02.2022 00:17:20] Entity: ***"Memories are curious thing. Keeping them. Discarding them. Placing into a ~box~."

[24.02.2022 00:17:30] A/)-Lazurith: I don't know if you've felt it too, but I feel some kind of... hollow light from them, if that makes any sense?

[24.02.2022 00:17:55] A/)-Revenant: I'm fascinated at how they can track memories so ... well.

[24.02.2022 00:18:04] A/)-Lazurith: Memories? 

[24.02.2022 00:18:10] A/)-Revenant: Did you not read the Dossier?

[24.02.2022 00:18:42] A/)-Revenant: We cannot control our own memories, only destroy parts.

[24.02.2022 00:18:56] A/)-Revenant: Memories, is how they track unwanted entities.

[24.02.2022 00:19:37] A/)-Lazurith: Oh! Right.

[24.02.2022 00:19:42] Entity: ***"A dangerous approach. One memory latches onto another, forming links... break them and ~something else~ breaks too."

[24.02.2022 00:20:03] A/)-Revenant: I'm afraid there is not much option regarding memories, even if it means to kill who you are.

[24.02.2022 00:20:56] A/)-Revenant: Unless the Vagrants are able to understand how we can ... 'dampen' the scent, developing protection is nigh-high -

[24.02.2022 00:20:57] A/)-Revenant:  ... Hm.

[24.02.2022 00:21:40] Entity: ***"Though -some- comfort cold be found in you lacking shared memories. Just ~few~ of you rather than... everyone."

[24.02.2022 00:22:45] A/)-Lazurith: Being hollow among hollow beings.

[24.02.2022 00:22:48] A/)-Revenant: I have heard of the other tribes cleansing their own to purge the memories.

[24.02.2022 00:24:03] A/)-Revenant: Although I cannot say that we are capable of "cleaning" ourselves with such precision.

[24.02.2022 00:24:43] A/)-Revenant: Oh, right, Lazurith, there is a C-24 formula for these instances. A hit and miss amnesiac.

[24.02.2022 00:25:24] Entity: ***"The -little one-, a wanderer of the wrathful tribe. Ceased to exist to protect -others-."

[24.02.2022 00:25:33] A/)-Lazurith: How much of myself am I going to forget before embarking for this?

[24.02.2022 00:25:59] A/)-Revenant: Yet the Vagrants are likely contaminated. I did not expect them to assist me.

[24.02.2022 00:26:19] A/)-Revenant: The Sentinels were present within Orkney, I do not hold any doubts they will embark into their new foundland.

[24.02.2022 00:27:53] A/)-Lazurith: Will Kess be alright? 

[24.02.2022 00:28:02] A/)-Revenant: They are immortal until they are not.

[24.02.2022 00:28:04] A/)-Revenant: They will be fine.

[24.02.2022 00:29:12] A/)-Lazurith: Hrm. 

[24.02.2022 00:29:34] A/)-Revenant: Do you perhaps have a perspective regarding how we can lessen the pain from the Sentinels?

[24.02.2022 00:30:35] A/)-Lazurith: Okay, well they clearly strike where it hurts. We traipsed in their home, and paid with our sanity.

[24.02.2022 00:30:46] A/)-Revenant: Methods, approaches.

[24.02.2022 00:30:56] A/)-Lazurith: Yes, I'm thinking about it. 

[24.02.2022 00:31:11] A/)-Revenant: I have opted for a more defensive route, shielding systems.

[24.02.2022 00:31:18] A/)-Revenant: Mille is handling the generation part of it.

[24.02.2022 00:31:23] Entity: ***(curious) So bright you shine, brimming with energy... They -consume- you."

[24.02.2022 00:31:49] A/)-Lazurith: Let's get one thing clear, they definitely have a pattern of attack and different roles.

[24.02.2022 00:32:08] A/)-Revenant: [jokingly, she dryly prods Lazurith with a quip] I think Harbinger is getting hungry, he might snack on you.

[24.02.2022 00:32:14] A/)-Lazurith: And clearly, there are some forms tha-

[24.02.2022 00:32:34] A/)-Lazurith: Erm. I-- I would like to live some more, please.

[24.02.2022 00:32:41] Entity: ***"Observations? Wondeful step. Share your -findings-..."

[24.02.2022 00:32:50] A/)-Revenant: [laughs] He doesn't even have a mouth, but continue.

[24.02.2022 00:33:53] A/)-Lazurith: Regardless, I have definitely noticed they have... something different about them, every time.

[24.02.2022 00:34:06] A/)-Revenant: Do you believe that they have different roles, akin to a bee hive?

[24.02.2022 00:34:14] A/)-Lazurith: Yes. Yes, precisely.

[24.02.2022 00:34:54] A/)-Lazurith: When we walked into their home, they retaliated with brute force - they had no need to be cautious about it.

[24.02.2022 00:35:11] A/)-Lazurith: But out in Kepler? In Shikoku? There is caution to be exercised.

[24.02.2022 00:35:39] A/)-Lazurith: The small ones are most definitely worth noting. Agile. Uncatchable.

[24.02.2022 00:36:00] A/)-Revenant: So ferocious with their seemingly missile-like projectile.

[24.02.2022 00:36:22] A/)-Revenant: Why do you believe they were in Shikoku?

[24.02.2022 00:37:21] A/)-Lazurith: This might sound like absolute nonsense, but what if the Kepler anomaly is not the only one? 

[24.02.2022 00:37:27] A/)-Lazurith: What if there are other entry points, as well?

[24.02.2022 00:37:31] A/)-Revenant: It is indeed not the only incursion point.

[24.02.2022 00:37:38] A/)-Revenant: Sigma 59, has another "Bell" -- another structure.

[24.02.2022 00:38:01] A/)-Revenant: Coronado, Delta, er - Colorado, Hudson, Inverness, were other points.

[24.02.2022 00:38:03] A/)-Revenant: Omicron Mu.

[24.02.2022 00:38:11] A/)-Lazurith: Then... maybe they are attempting to map Sirius like we mapped our star charts over the last 800 years. 

[24.02.2022 00:38:32] A/)-Lazurith: But this doesn't explain why they know exactly where we are...!

[24.02.2022 00:38:46] A/)-Revenant: The scents - our minds - it is a mnestic trace.

[24.02.2022 00:39:14] A/)-Revenant: Forget about the material world, there is a whole another dimension we have yet to grasp as a conception, the theory of

[24.02.2022 00:39:16] A/)-Revenant: psychics.

[24.02.2022 00:39:38] A/)-Lazurith: Yes, we have to grasp how it works and if we can even understand it to begin with.

[24.02.2022 00:39:46] A/)-Lazurith: But my question is... have they really understood ours?

[24.02.2022 00:40:04] A/)-Lazurith: We can't know everything about them, like they can't know everything about us. 

[24.02.2022 00:40:06] A/)-Revenant: Do you believe them capabe of such things?

[24.02.2022 00:40:16] A/)-Revenant: We have seen them awaiting - predator and prey games - within Hudson.

[24.02.2022 00:40:26] A/)-Revenant: Instinctual? It is not known for certain.

[24.02.2022 00:41:09] A/)-Lazurith: It is worth noting that they tend to attack and never yield.

[24.02.2022 00:41:27] Entity: ***"How familiar..."

[24.02.2022 00:41:40] A/)-Lazurith: However... sometimes they do, in fact, disappear as quickly as they arrive. 

[24.02.2022 00:41:46] A/)-Revenant: Indeed. There were a few exceptions to their relentlessness.

[24.02.2022 00:41:54] A/)-Revenant: The injured retreated into nearby anomalies.

[24.02.2022 00:41:58] A/)-Lazurith: I saw the small forms do that many times, actually...!

[24.02.2022 00:42:50] A/)-Lazurith: Maybe they're trying to deploy a trail? Some kind of beacon for a general attack location? 

[24.02.2022 00:43:18] A/)-Revenant: Ponder this; the purpose of their attacks, of the Vault they guard.

[24.02.2022 00:43:22] A/)-Revenant: What are the Sentinels for?

[24.02.2022 00:44:04] A/)-Lazurith: Well, clearly to defend it. But...

[24.02.2022 00:44:18] A/)-Revenant: And how far can one push the definition of defending?

[24.02.2022 00:44:54] A/)-Lazurith: That was bothering me quite a lot. They are REALLY pushing their definition of defending. They are out for blood.

[24.02.2022 00:45:07] A/)-Lazurith: Maybe... we never met the real Sentinels.

[24.02.2022 00:45:19] A/)-Lazurith: Maybe the real Sentinels are at the Vault's site.

[24.02.2022 00:45:34] A/)-Revenant: Hmm...

[24.02.2022 00:46:19] Entity: ***"Keep that thought... Keep it well."

[24.02.2022 00:47:05] A/)-Revenant: That could make sense. Akin to a broodmother - their very brain.

[24.02.2022 00:47:45] A/)-Revenant: Perhaps there is more, but we have not seen a hive of theirs.

[24.02.2022 00:48:09] A/)-Lazurith: We wouldn't want to reveal Valravn to them, would we? 

[24.02.2022 00:48:27] A/)-Revenant: Er, I'm afraid they traced some assets to the clouds in Inverness.

[24.02.2022 00:48:37] Entity: ***"As the means to 'unmask' ~them~ will be found be careful. Their -familiarity- is an illusion."

[24.02.2022 00:49:00] A/)-Revenant: They are shape shifters, aren't they.

[24.02.2022 00:49:44] A/)-Lazurith: Or maybe these are simply weaker forms?

[24.02.2022 00:50:12] Entity: ***"These... are ~my~ 'stolen' forms."

[24.02.2022 00:50:40] A/)-Revenant: I noticed the similarities when you ... summoned those things.

[24.02.2022 00:51:32] A/)-Revenant: How could that be? Do you have an opponent of sorts?

[24.02.2022 00:52:45] Entity: ***"Perhaps... (thinking) A concerning thought."

[24.02.2022 00:53:15] A/)-Revenant:  ... You wouldn't happen to be in danger if your, er ...

[24.02.2022 00:53:23] A/)-Revenant: "agreement" - was exposed to them, would you?

[24.02.2022 00:53:51] A/)-Revenant: [Glanced over to Lazurith with uncertainty, analysing him for a brief moment. ]

[24.02.2022 00:54:13] A/)-Lazurith: Erm...

[24.02.2022 00:54:15] Entity: ***"-many- variants to assume, no certainty found yet."

[24.02.2022 00:54:30] A/)-Revenant: If it is a network, then it most certainly can be traced back to you.

[24.02.2022 00:54:34] Entity: ***"Evidence inconclusive."

[24.02.2022 00:54:50] A/)-Revenant: I am not sure how your ... kind "works" - but that is a potential risk that has to be bared in mind.

[24.02.2022 00:55:19] Entity: ***"(almost a laugh) Risk applies to -all- here."

[24.02.2022 00:55:46] A/)-Revenant: I'm almost thankful that we have evolved to be singular minds.

[24.02.2022 00:55:52] A/)-Revenant: I would have died long ago if I was chained to Vincent.

[24.02.2022 00:55:53] A/)-Revenant: Bahh.

[24.02.2022 00:56:12] A/)-Lazurith: Good thing you recognized that.

[24.02.2022 00:56:24] A/)-Revenant: You are just as bad as him, you do not get off clean either.

[24.02.2022 00:56:56] A/)-Lazurith: Okay, that's not true at all. I am a lot more amicable.

[24.02.2022 00:57:02] A/)-Lazurith: In my humble opinion.

[24.02.2022 00:57:19] A/)-Revenant:  ...You know, hyperspatial interferences also disturbs the Sentinels too.

[24.02.2022 00:57:22] A/)-Revenant: Akin to the Vagrants.

[24.02.2022 00:57:58] A/)-Revenant: Oh, I did not tell you, but, the Order wanted to work with me.

[24.02.2022 00:58:00] A/)-Revenant: Again...

[24.02.2022 00:58:08] A/)-Revenant: Overwatch, this time. Commander Storgen.

[24.02.2022 00:58:10] A/)-Lazurith: Can those people ever make up their minds? 

[24.02.2022 00:58:34] A/)-Revenant: I do not doubt it being a trap, but perhaps I could twist it to be their trap.

[24.02.2022 00:58:44] A/)-Lazurith: [The gearhead sighs.] What did they want, this time?

[24.02.2022 00:58:52] A/)-Revenant: To work together to "fight against the Sentinels. "

[24.02.2022 00:58:53] Entity: ***"Do you -seek- revenge for the loss of your -protege-?

[24.02.2022 00:59:23] A/)-Revenant: As much as it pains me greatly, I cannot exhaust the last of my vitality running around for revenge.

[24.02.2022 00:59:28] A/)-Revenant: No, Vengeance, is far sweeter.

[24.02.2022 00:59:41] A/)-Revenant: It is not the first time they have hurt me.

[24.02.2022 00:59:49] A/)-Revenant: Nor will it be the last.

[24.02.2022 01:00:12] A/)-Lazurith: Wait, protege?

[24.02.2022 01:00:18] A/)-Lazurith: I thought-- nevermind.

[24.02.2022 01:00:21] Entity: ***"So you have a -plan- growing..."

[24.02.2022 01:00:35] A/)-Revenant: He seems to be humored by the idea that Vincent is -- ah, whatever. 

[24.02.2022 01:00:55] A/)-Revenant: Not quite, but they can certainly be utilized to speed up some areas.

[24.02.2022 01:01:08] A/)-Revenant: I do not believe they are aware regarding the dangers of hyperspatial technology.

[24.02.2022 01:01:44] A/)-Revenant: And if they wish to capture me again, I may have a nasty surprise for them.

[24.02.2022 01:02:24] A/)-Revenant: Storgen desired to share knowledge, information, regarding the Sentinels. However, he does not like the

[24.02.2022 01:02:31] A/)-Revenant: Section Eight operatives at all, interestingly.

[24.02.2022 01:03:54] Entity: ***"Curious... though inconsequential for now."

[24.02.2022 01:04:12] A/)-Lazurith: Tell me. Were they ever involved with anomalies at all?

[24.02.2022 01:04:17] A/)-Revenant: Indeed.

[24.02.2022 01:04:32] A/)-Revenant: A few of their operatives went through, they are certainly contaminated.

[24.02.2022 01:04:41] A/)-Revenant: If the greater battleship attacking Mu was not evident enough.

[24.02.2022 01:05:21] Entity: ***"Small comforts knowing they are 'bound' to as well."

[24.02.2022 01:06:47] A/)-Revenant: I have considered cautiously offering my 'help' with Storgen.

[24.02.2022 01:08:03] A/)-Revenant: My ability to fight is becoming more and more windred. To be almost disabled by two craft is a disgrace. Caution is an imperati

[24.02.2022 01:08:06] A/)-Revenant: imperative at this point.

[24.02.2022 01:08:36] A/)-Revenant: A shame that hypercharged dark matter cannot be tamed, unlike natural background dark matter.

[24.02.2022 01:08:38] Entity: ***"Perhaps having -others- marked will offer some... distraction."

[24.02.2022 01:09:01] A/)-Revenant: People's curiosity will provide such, the Insurgency had lingered as you noticed.

[24.02.2022 01:09:32] A/)-Revenant: The Starfliers - an allied hyperspace research company - had unfortunately stumbled across it in their survey.

[24.02.2022 01:09:55] A/)-Revenant:  ... Although, they had the foresight to plan to leave their base of operations from Kepler, how lucky of them.

[24.02.2022 01:10:17] A/)-Revenant: What I am curious about, is the "Bell" within Sigma-59, at that incursion point.

[24.02.2022 01:10:24] A/)-Revenant: What could they possibly want there? Another site, perhaps?

[24.02.2022 01:10:37] Entity: ***"Unfortunate for them, but it benefits to be _not_ the only ~targeted~."

[24.02.2022 01:11:52] A/)-Lazurith: Ah, the artifact! I almost forgot!

[24.02.2022 01:11:55] A/)-Revenant: Katherine.

[24.02.2022 01:12:01] A/)-Revenant: Of the Pennybrooke.

[24.02.2022 01:12:09] A/)-Lazurith: Why is it that it beckoned them wherever she carried it around?

[24.02.2022 01:12:12] A/)-Revenant: She calls herself the "Herald" amongst the other Tribes.

[24.02.2022 01:12:20] A/)-Revenant:  ... I have it in my care, Laz.

[24.02.2022 01:12:30] Entity: ***"(another pause) these names are... -unfamiliar-?"

[24.02.2022 01:12:41] A/)-Revenant: [There was a brief pause]

[24.02.2022 01:13:00] A/)-Revenant: You do not remember Katherine, nicknamed Herald, of the Research Vessel Pennybrooke?

[24.02.2022 01:13:40] A/)-Revenant: You gave her an artifact, which had seemingly came active the years later, now intermingling with the Sentinels.

[24.02.2022 01:14:35] A/)-Revenant: I am unsure if data files are any worth to you, considering your, er... more ethereal state.

[24.02.2022 01:15:24] A/)-Revenant: If I show you the artifact, do you believe you may recognise it?

[24.02.2022 01:15:30] Entity: ***"The artifact... what became of it and the -herald-named?"

[24.02.2022 01:15:53] A/)-Revenant: It seemingly shattered within her care, and mist appears to emerge from the cracks upon its "activation. "

[24.02.2022 01:16:29] A/)-Revenant: It seemingly drains all energy within a certain radius, and ... somehow, alerts the Sentinels.

[24.02.2022 01:17:20] A/)-Revenant: I'm not so sure, but if you insist. Allow me to release it from stasis.

[24.02.2022 01:17:33] A/)-Lazurith: Finally. I can see what it's all about.

[24.02.2022 01:21:12] A/)-Revenant: Memory shard? It stores memories?

[24.02.2022 01:22:56] Entity: ***"Fragments. Fleeting thoughts. Visions."

[24.02.2022 01:23:05] A/)-Lazurith: But for whom?

[24.02.2022 01:23:43] Entity: ***"You know the answer already... those were some of my fragments."

[24.02.2022 01:24:02] A/)-Revenant: I suppose it may explain why it lured the Sentinels.

[24.02.2022 01:24:37] A/)-Revenant: Respectfully, perhaps you should have the shard.

[24.02.2022 01:31:23] A/)-Lazurith: Err... no.

[24.02.2022 01:31:29] A/)-Lazurith: I'm afraid not. 

[24.02.2022 01:31:43] A/)-Lazurith: I would love to, though.

[24.02.2022 01:33:39] A/)-Revenant: Then we are in agreement.

[24.02.2022 01:34:01] A/)-Revenant: If you can;

[24.02.2022 01:34:14] A/)-Revenant: We may need to delegate some tasks.

[24.02.2022 01:35:18] A/)-Lazurith: Sure. What sort of tasks?

[24.02.2022 01:35:41] A/)-Revenant: Delegate small tasks, miniscule, unconnected ones. Finding allies may be prudent.

[24.02.2022 01:35:56] A/)-Revenant: But, for now, let us not worry too much about it and unwind.

[24.02.2022 01:35:59] A/)-Revenant: I am eyeing this bottle...

[24.02.2022 01:36:36] A/)-Lazurith: And I am eyeing mine.

[24.02.2022 01:36:45] A/)-Revenant: Mmm.

[24.02.2022 01:37:19] A/)-Lazurith: Guess it's time for a toast at the edge of space on a millennia-old alien structure. 

[24.02.2022 01:37:56] A/)-Revenant: That sounds reasonable, but, try not to make a mess.

[24.02.2022 01:38:00] A/)-Revenant: I would rather not clean up after you.

[24.02.2022 01:38:23] A/)-Lazurith: Hey, I can clean up after myself! 

[24.02.2022 01:38:40] A/)-Revenant: Or, perhaps, do not make said mess in the first place.

[24.02.2022 01:39:25] A/)-Lazurith: Well, I won't!
