Blessings to you, brothers and sisters. I bring you news.
|-\-/-\\//-\-/-|
In first, the Core is at it again. They wish to either destroy or commandeer the Zoner's Freeport 11, again. This time, however, after long diplomatic talks (that the Core shrugged off, as I heard) the Zoners decided to stand against them. They are seeking support everywhere possible.
We shall discuss what to do in these circumstances, as of now.
|-\-/-\\//-\-/-|
I have met an Enlightened Spirit, Nol'Shuriz, some time ago. I saw him alongside a Commune vessel, (C~Assassin.04 - and as a thing I discovered not so much time ago, the Commune is working along with the Vagrants. This might or might not be troublesome for us. Predictably, the Commune somewhat has a grudge against me for not having assisted them against the Auxesians some time ago, in Kappa. And, as I predicted, they couldn't understand my point of view. Read the logs found below, and, if needed, judge me for said actions.
---
Code:
K'Hara|Nol'Shuriz: *** 'Ours'.. have awoken -recently-... "Mindshare" achieved.. -yet-.. unclear.. (Confusion) ***
(C~Assassin.04: You learn with the time. Patience.
(C~Assassin.04: And the knowledge will come on its own.
Oracle|Shrine.of.Altair: ?: "Agreed."
(C~Assassin.04: Ah, Oracles.
(C~Assassin.04: Hello.
Oracle|Shrine.of.Altair: ?: "Greetings, Commune."
(C~Assassin.04: What brings you far out here?
Oracle|Shrine.of.Altair: ?: "Knowledge."
K'Hara|Nol'Shuriz: *** 'Ours' greet.. "Enlightened" husk.. /Remember/ 'yours'.. from 'dream'.. ***
(C~Assassin.04: You can only get here problems, rather than knowledge.
(C~Assassin.04: The Core, the Order.
(C~Assassin.04: And so on.
Oracle|Shrine.of.Altair: ?: "I also observe."
Oracle|Shrine.of.Altair: ?: "From within the veil, I observe."
Oracle|Shrine.of.Altair: ?: "If needed, I shall unveil and fight."
(C~Assassin.04: Well, as the reports say, you as well like to let your allies get fired upon.
(C~Assassin.04: And not do a single thing about it.
Oracle|Shrine.of.Altair: ?: "We do ask for help when They head to battle."
Oracle|Shrine.of.Altair: ?: "Nevertheless, we do help them."
(C~Assassin.04: But you said, if it is needed, that you do unveil and fight.
(C~Assassin.04: But, from the reports, there could be something else.
(C~Assassin.04: How's that?
Oracle|Shrine.of.Altair: ?: "Depends on who writes the report."
(C~Assassin.04: There are audio logs.
Oracle|Shrine.of.Altair: ?: "Sent by who?"
(C~Assassin.04: By the Commune. Captured by our vessels.
K'Hara|Nol'Shuriz: *** (Confusion) ***
(C~Assassin.04: And as it seems, it was your vessel who standed near our forces, while they were shot by Auxesians, IRG and so on.
(C~Assassin.04: How do you explain that?
Oracle|Shrine.of.Altair: ?: "When this happened?"
(C~Assassin.04: *the pilot sighs*
(C~Assassin.04: As I expected.
Oracle|Shrine.of.Altair: ?: "As my vessel has no recordings of said encounter."
(C~Assassin.04: And we were all confused as well.
(C~Assassin.04: Be assured.
(C~Assassin.04: I had to bring that up because, you begun saying funny things.
(C~Assassin.04: That are not correct.
Oracle|Shrine.of.Altair: ?: "Like?"
(C~Assassin.04: Unveiling and fighting.
(C~Assassin.04: Or that includes letting your allies being shot down?
(C~Assassin.04: If it does then it is another story.
Oracle|Shrine.of.Altair: ?: "If you're trying to play with my mind, Commune, you are miserably failing."
(C~Assassin.04: Trying to play with your mind?
(C~Assassin.04: Do I look like psychic?
Oracle|Shrine.of.Altair: ?: "Or should I add that you are following the Vagrants?"
(C~Assassin.04: let me see.
(C~Assassin.04: It happened near Corinth.
Oracle|Shrine.of.Altair: ?: *checks through the archives*
(C~Assassin.04: We support anyone that is part of the light.
(C~Assassin.04: We do not make differences.
K'Hara|Nol'Shuriz: *** "Most wise" ***
Oracle|Shrine.of.Altair: ?: "I see."
(C~Assassin.04: Of course it is.
Oracle|Shrine.of.Altair: ?: "Yet - we cannot assist the Commune."
(C~Assassin.04: Why would that be?
Oracle|Shrine.of.Altair: ?: "We are allowed to defend ourselves, the Spirits and the Lightbringers if harmed."
(C~Assassin.04: And you do not consider us any of that?
(C~Assassin.04: So?
Oracle|Shrine.of.Altair: ?: "You do not look a fellow Oracle, nor even a Spirit or a Lightbringer - which refers to Wild."
(C~Assassin.04: How do I look like?
Oracle|Shrine.of.Altair: ?: "You are supporters of the Light - like us."
(C~Assassin.04: And supporters of the light are excluded from being defended or helped?
(C~Assassin.04: And, as the report says. It was the Auxesia- those who a lot of times hunted the Light.
(C~Assassin.04: The IRG, those who do experiments on captured Light.
(C~Assassin.04: While Overlord himself, and his men, hunted the hunters of Light.
K'Hara|Nol'Shuriz: *** So -many- 'Darklings'.. left /unpunished/... (Anger) ***
Oracle|Shrine.of.Altair: ?: "This vessel would have intervened, were it not the threats of a nearby IRG vessel."
(C~Assassin.04: So?
(C~Assassin.04: Hm.
Oracle|Shrine.of.Altair: ?: "Despite the firepower this ship has, it would have stood no chance against said IRG vessel - Aquilon-class."
(C~Assassin.04: So you took an advice from IRG commander, to let your allies fall, by their own and Auxesian fire.
(C~Assassin.04: Is that correct?
Oracle|Shrine.of.Altair: ?: "No."
Oracle|Shrine.of.Altair: ?: "We wished to intervene, but we were impeded."
(C~Assassin.04: But when one of the Auxesians mentioned that Thomas wouldn't approve, you stood back.
(C~Assassin.04: How are they supposed to know this?
K'Hara|Nol'Shuriz: *** "Survival instinct".. (??) ***
Oracle|Shrine.of.Altair: ?: "That could have mostly been a bluff."
(C~Assassin.04: Very well.
Oracle|Shrine.of.Altair: ?: "Besides - the one called Thomas isn't our Master Teacher anymore."
(C~Assassin.04: The reason for the questions is because we wish to know on which side you stand.
Oracle|Shrine.of.Altair: ?: "We stand for the Light. That is enough."
(C~Assassin.04: On the side of the Light, or on the side of those who bring harm to light.
(C~Assassin.04: Very well.
Oracle|Shrine.of.Altair: ?: "I would ask you this, though."
Oracle|Shrine.of.Altair: ?: "The Vagrants, the ones you work along with - saught to harm one of ours."
(C~Assassin.04: Like you, we weren't supposed to be where we shouldn't.
(C~Assassin.04: I believe that was the issue.
Oracle|Shrine.of.Altair: ?: "We had the allowance."
(C~Assassin.04: I thought you were supposed to know this, as Oracle.
(C~Assassin.04: It seems you didn't had full allowance.
Oracle|Shrine.of.Altair: ?: "We as Oracles can swim along Them within Their home voids, unharmed."
Oracle|Shrine.of.Altair: ?: "The High Matron allowed us."
(C~Assassin.04: Hm...
(C~Assassin.04: It seems that the Vagrants didn't and that is why one of yours was harmed.
Oracle|Shrine.of.Altair: ?: "And the High Matron is an Elder Spirit you all know."
(C~Assassin.04: I believe it should be matter of collective.
(C~Assassin.04: Not just one side.
(C~Assassin.04: Like we do. We follow the light, regardless of which mind it is.
Oracle|Shrine.of.Altair: ?: "I tried to speak through to them, to no avail."
Oracle|Shrine.of.Altair: ?: "We could swim within Lost without trouble."
(C~Assassin.04: Perhaps, you did something wrong.
(C~Assassin.04: The matter should be searched trough.
Oracle|Shrine.of.Altair: ?: "Then the Vagrants came, and acted like they owned the place."
(C~Assassin.04: Or perhaps, they saw something wrong about you.
Oracle|Shrine.of.Altair: ?: "They were right - a veil of confusion surrounds the Vagrants."
K'Hara|Nol'Shuriz: *** 'Ours' never.. swam -among 'theirs'.. ***
(C~Assassin.04: I need to move now. I will talk with my superious about this.
Oracle|Shrine.of.Altair: ?: "We follow the directives of the K'Haran Mindshare."
(C~Assassin.04: And only that?
Oracle|Shrine.of.Altair: ?: "They ask, we do."
(C~Assassin.04: Then, you do not support the "collective".
(C~Assassin.04: This is, where problems happened.
Oracle|Shrine.of.Altair: ?: "We can't reckognize the 'collective' you speak of."
(C~Assassin.04: I need to move.
(C~Assassin.04: Perhaps you should.
Oracle|Shrine.of.Altair: ?: "Fare thee well..."

After he left, Nol'Shuriz and I went inside the Palau cloud, near Lichtenfelde, where we spoke. After a while, a known person to us, Iona Taylor of the ORG onboard the ORG|Iona's.Revenge (an Osiris battleship) showed up. From what she told me, she was surveying for Core presence in the area. Shortly after her, two more vessels, ORV-Kebechet and Hathor, showed up. While the latter was triggerhappy and eager to fire on us, the ORV-Kebechet -surprisingly- ordered both the Hathor captain and Iona to head back. Like that, they left. Logs below.

Oracle|Shrine.of.Altair: ?: "We tried to swim along with them, but when we were asked to head to your native void beyond the Minor Gate..."
Oracle|Shrine.of.Altair: ?: "...they barred our road."
Oracle|Shrine.of.Altair: ?: "The High Matron - Saturnia - gives us the directives."
Oracle|Shrine.of.Altair: ?: "She is the 'liason' -as we humans say- between us and You."
Oracle|Shrine.of.Altair: ?: "We reckognize the K'Hara as a collective."
Oracle|Shrine.of.Altair: ?: "One mind, one body, one voice."
Oracle|Shrine.of.Altair: ?: "One Light."
K'Hara|Nol'Shuriz: *** "Unity" ***
Oracle|Shrine.of.Altair: ?: "Exactly."
Oracle|Shrine.of.Altair: ?: "The Vagrants aren't united."
K'Hara|Nol'Shuriz: *** There is /strength/.. in "unity".. (!!) ***

Oracle|Shrine.of.Altair: ?: "I learned that if one of Yours feels joy, everyone in the Mindshare does."

Oracle|Shrine.of.Altair: ?: "We carry the will of the Light."
Oracle|Shrine.of.Altair: ?: "And, if we shall battle, we'll battle along with Yours."

From: High Exarch | Haog
FREEPORT 1


We have few friends Sajuuk. We're a family here.. and when there are members of our family embedded amongst others.. who maybe fighting one another the first thing we must not do is endanger them.

I will not be specific.. but one of the reasons we do not attack everything that threatens us .. seemingly enemy factions is that we have may seekers amongst them. Members of our family. Who know the risks but cannot be compromised.

The vagabond hive does not care about humans.. The commune is likely being used. And as I suspect the recent goofiness on Malta are related to them infiltrating and encroaching on our benefactors territory.

It's a paradigm I know many were unprepared for but the fact their meddling has forced things backwards that have taken years to develop is plain on the face of those I interact with.

Until a solution is viable or plainly seen.. we must wait and let events continue. Our primary job is still to watch and observe. Care for the flock and assist seekers.

Also.. keep in mind the Hive is apparently reconciling several things so unless you feel it is an imminent threat to yourself or your crew try not to attack and neutral parties.

We're all here to support you.

Blessings to you, brothers and sisters. I bring you interesting news.
|-\-/-\\//-\-/-|
As you might or might not have heard, the turmoil that happened on Malta brought (as stated by Maltese news) to the death of former Exarch Enma Loyola. However, she isn't dead - she's alive, although she now became a Lightbringer. The Light radiates from here in a manner I haven't seen in a long time. I happened upon her casually as she was near Freeport 11, along with a Zoner Corvo, a Order fighter and, nonetheless, a common known people of ours - Sapphire Raven, the Blue Bird. It seems that Sapphire has established a mindlink with a greater Spirit (a Marduk guardian, to be exact) called Harbinger - she also had a crystal within her ship (an artifact, probably) which allowed her to enter a state of deep concentration, like she was phased out of our world. What delights me, though, is that the Blue Bird has approached the Light. Thus, I'd ask to still keep her under our watch and see how things will evolve. If you happen upon Enma, maintain a degree of neutrality, but do not show hostility towards her.
---
I address the Exarchy to discuss our stance towards the above-cited entities Sapphire.Raven and Enma.Loyola - the decision shall be unanimous.

To whoever still able to hear me.

This channel was silent for too long, I was dead to the world for too long, it's time to come back to what we're supposed to do. We're supposed to deal with consequences of the Long War.
And the one and only option for next negotiations... Oh, well, as Keeper Raven came into contact with our benefactors, it's only logical to try and promote a ceasefire and a non-aggression pact between Nomads and Gammu AI, Auxesia's Omicron-dwelling allies.
This might reduce the losses at least slightly and divert more attention to more dangerous factions such as the Core. High Mother, I need your input on K'Hara's side of conditions under which a non-aggression pact can be established.

Sincerely yours,
Cultist Israfel

The hive is adjusting to possible... mutual understanding with long standing neighbors. Despite previous attempts the AI's of gammu have never been able to comprehend or use nomad technology so the danger from them is violations of territory. Humans do this all the time. Its more then annoying. its the foundation that we cannot trust that they can keep or control themselves.

There are only a few personalities within the hive that can interact with them however. Would require the use of an ambassador that is of the hive. I know Uriel is in drake but we can will 'theirs' to a meeting if it is so desired.

I am a possibility as well but Id rather not leave malta with the current tensions.

See what you can do. Windcaller.

It is time to relay the message from Gammu's spokesperson, as well as the log of our encounter today.
I have a feeling that we got quite a dose of information just from starting the negotiations. Combined knowledge of Gammu and K'Hara might give a lot of answers about the Precursors.
All is up to Mindshare's verdict, High Mother.

Here we go again.

This is not all for today, I had quite a conversation with... An entity named Kessereya. Neither a K'Hara strain, nor a Vagrant, how should I even categorize them?
They wanted me to show off our little talk. So there it goes.
And this brings up at least one question again - one I didn't ask because I was too busy being diligent. Can I learn more about prominent Nomads, hybrids and assorted historical figures in order to not embarrass myself too much when they come up?
My knowledge of Nomads in general is so lacking that I'm quite sure that even people from outside who don't even belong to our circle or the Order might possess more at this point simply because they were around longer.

I hope you are willing to help me with that and, perhaps, tell me something more.
So many quetions and revelations in a span of just a few days. We live in interesting times, if you know what I mean.

Notable personalities are varied. We arent particularly more or less powerful but we each do have one thing in common which seems to set us apart.. and that is Perspective. As a perfect hybrid... as in the only hybrid to be stable the human side of me is a result of cloning and engineering efforts on both sides but the Oracles accomplished the feat. My perspective is well.. ill get to that later.

Harbinger is the only other personality I know vary well. Maybe Enlil, Mammetu, Lamashtu, Arulu.. some of the other primes. but a personality is.. overstating what they have. Their a little different but they are like most other powerful hybrid minds. Curious, cunning, strategic thinking to one goal.

Have maximum discernment when speaking to any of them, many wont even consider you equal or respectable... many will try to decive or be cunning in order to manipulate your understanding. Some speak vary good English... some not so much.

The best person to tell you about how the hive operates.. from a human perspective was Thomas. Haog isnt as experienced with humanizing Kharan concepts to English. But between Him and I perhaps you can .. figure it out.

I am still connected to the whole but to pronounce the ... to make ideas of the way "things are" would be a life of lessons. Thomas was human for much longer then I have ever been human the light part of me is eternal.. complex.. nonspeaking..

I heard him once say To be of the light is having one foot in the bliss of everything and another foot alone in the dark and I feel like this often. The human mind never stops, its always alone always thinking making up answers to questions unasked and the light simply.. "is".. The conflict within me he said mirrors much of what humans deal with their entire life.. Because to master the human mind to make it peaceful is a narrow path.

Trust me it was exceedingly difficult not to reject the human part of me. cut it away.. never use it walk away from this life and bask in the void as a Marduk forever. But you lose important perspective you lose your humanity. This is why I am an oracle. This is why I am here with you instead of with the rest of my family.

I agree.. NOW that The nomad life-form is a free will. So free it is always changing. therefore the static parts of it. the defenses, the fleets of ships, and hoards of fighters swarming about our territory are closer to white blood cells then the drones of a beehive. but the smallest parts of the hive can embody the largest parts of it. As I could fit in any vessle... but must become it to embody it.

Though even though I have the power to do so I am not the totality of the hive I cannot upon my authority scream orders down the line and have them obey. Because the one is the all and the all is the one.

Some of us who have individual personalities can..and often do have differences of opinion.. but we all must reunite at the dinner table. eventually the pain we cause another becomes our pain. There is no escaping that.. so while it seems like we are incapable of harming one another we often do. until we are mature enough to know better. This is why the relationship between Harbinger and I are the way it is. We fought and hurt each other.. a great deal. until there was little differences between us.

We learn we evolve and we proceed. Its different then how humans learn. But there you have it.

Because we are so introvertive as a species.. this makes dealing with human groups and even the alien a.i.'s difficult. We have a standoff policy because the hive has learned razing entire worlds and destroying starts is a most dark and terrible price to pay for a few thousand years of peace. To scar the galaxy for our temporary benefit would be akin to you torching your living room cause of a few commercials on the holonet.

So we as oracles.. who have I as a bridge to the light study, learn, understand, and master all these problems before violence is considered as a final solution.

As far as precursors.. ORIN could tell you the entire history of planet gammu. Its rather harrowing. But as the only stable a.i. to survive infection. to my knowledge...and retain its personality.. Orin can speak to us and you. Still.. however.. Orin is about as lost as I am bringing the light to human or machine minds.

Your investigations are helpful. Please continue.

Israphel, Im pretty sure the bots were largely verbose for no reason other then to mask the fact they harvest nomad materials just like the humans do in the region.

Seeing these units harvest thousands of any nomad war-form that gets isolated and is easily overwhelmed by force many times.

Essentially the few that have breached the static defenses would skulk around and survey for resources. These toasters have vary simple consumerist motivations because they are after all an inferior form of life.

As for the history of gammu. Orin told me he was from Pennsylvania sent there to catalog ruins and as far as he knew the radiation there imprints a self propagating matrix on anything remotely compatible.

Long story short the code always changes depending on what comes back to the source, matrices of ai's rise and fall come and go looking for one thing. Singularity.

Their trying to "Ascend" through another dimensional plane. Orin is pretty sure failed attempts of this idea is the reason for the strangeness in that area.

Either way the only thing i know they would be interested in would be how the khara transfer their essence through the veil.

Which we have only one person among us who has done this consciously and hes still in the hive-mind or.. Satrina says its another diemension. Where Three-Winds is.

Take all that as truth or not. Thats the Brief Orin gave me. Im sure he would weigh in himself if he wasent busy researching the oracle Jumpdrive.

I have so much information that I will need to sort everything out separately before asking any more questions.

And so, there seems to be a certain theme to Daam K'Vosh's creations, one I definitely don't like. These imperatives they leave at any given opportunity are rather harmful for people like us.

There's one thing that reamains unresolved. How far should I go, how deeply should I stare, how loud should I bellow to know whether peace with Gammu is accepted?
Despite occupying myself with Alster shipments, I can do it as fast as needed. Even if the AI is alien to ambitions and less primitive philosophy, it might be useful to, as I already said, cut the losses. Mindshare endured enough pain in this war.

I'm looking forward to your reply.
