Halpert Kennedy
Location: Inverness System
Starfliers Personal Log
Fine, I guess I have to write something down. Or speak into this microphone. My name is Halpert Kennedy, I fly around for a living. I hate my job. But, for whatever reason, the reports I put together have been called "good enough" and I get paid less than I should for them. It's enough to keep the Pulsar repaired. My favourite colour is purple and I have a best friend, though I'm not gonna share, unless they have other ideas. Luckily I was told that these logs are just for me. Only kept on my personal computer. Guess I can share a little bit, if and when that time comes.

Void.Watcher... an interesting fellow. He claims the Starfliers use a bastardisation of Nomad technology. I didn't believe him until he showed me some old alien trade lanes. With this info, I decided to back it up here. Leon needs to know. There's this place called the Shrine, dunno what it's here for, but I was able to dock with it. Michael Evans doesn't seem like the kind of person to destroy me. Maybe I'm being lead down a path. Anyways, here's the logs.

Code: [16.01.2022 11:52:10] Void.Watcher: It seems the tides have brought us together, again. This time, to a favourite spot of mine,
[16.01.2022 11:52:38] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Again? Show yourself.
[16.01.2022 11:53:02] Void.Watcher: Hm. Nowhere to run if we're seen, this time.
[16.01.2022 11:53:31] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Ah, the pilot from Inverness.
[16.01.2022 11:53:46] Void.Watcher: I'm sorry about yesterday. They can be... Stubborn.
[16.01.2022 11:54:21] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: They weren't very nice. Spoke weirdly too, must be where they came from.
[16.01.2022 11:54:23] Void.Watcher: zuiryu has a cloak disruptor so gotta keep an eye out for him
[16.01.2022 11:55:05] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Thanks for fishing my pod out of the wreckage. Suppose Auxo rebuilt the Pulsar. Gotta thank them.
[16.01.2022 11:55:07] Void.Watcher: You could say that.
[16.01.2022 11:56:17] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: I gotta ask, have you got the record of our last conversation?
[16.01.2022 11:56:25] Void.Watcher: Of course.
[16.01.2022 11:56:44] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: My systems backup any info once I land... getting blasted like that removed any chance to do that.
[16.01.2022 11:57:29] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: So, I contacted the Liberty Navy fleets about their cruiser in Kepler.
[16.01.2022 11:57:40] Void.Watcher: And?
[16.01.2022 11:57:42] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Told them to get their shit together.
[16.01.2022 11:57:53] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Haven;t heard back yet.
[16.01.2022 11:57:58] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Haven't heard back yet.
[16.01.2022 11:58:16] Void.Watcher: I'm sure it'll be three to five business days, or something. [He chuckled.]
[16.01.2022 11:58:55] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: God, I hate that.
[16.01.2022 11:59:24] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: So what brings you here, to your favourite place?
[16.01.2022 11:59:35] Void.Watcher: I usually sit here and admire the view.
[16.01.2022 11:59:50] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: The sun, mostly?
[16.01.2022 12:00:04] Void.Watcher: The everything, of course.
[16.01.2022 12:00:24] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Ha, ever been to Peurto Rico?
[16.01.2022 12:00:30] Void.Watcher: I have.
[16.01.2022 12:00:49] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Did a charting job there a while back. The sun there is a joy to look at.
[16.01.2022 12:01:04] Void.Watcher: From a distance, at least!
[16.01.2022 12:01:28] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: I'm talking about the Brown Dwarf.
[16.01.2022 12:01:42] Void.Watcher: Ah, yes. Don't see too many of those.
[16.01.2022 12:02:04] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: The Neutron Star was hard to navigate past. Stellar Stream is deadly.
[16.01.2022 12:02:55] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: So, I was going to ask last time, before we were interrupted.
[16.01.2022 12:03:39] Void.Watcher: Ask away.
[16.01.2022 12:04:08] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Your cargo was... questionable.
[16.01.2022 12:04:19] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: I'd stay way from that stuff.
[16.01.2022 12:04:24] '\S/'Pulsar: away*
[16.01.2022 12:04:29] Void.Watcher: A Nomad power cell powers my cloak.
[16.01.2022 12:04:55] Void.Watcher: It will do so almost indefinitely.
[16.01.2022 12:05:03] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Surely there are more standardised fuel sources.
[16.01.2022 12:05:10] Void.Watcher: None so advanced.
[16.01.2022 12:05:25] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: You rely on Nomad technologies?
[16.01.2022 12:05:37] Void.Watcher: Very happily.
[16.01.2022 12:05:57] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Are the nomad... happy... with you using their stuff?
[16.01.2022 12:06:04] '\S/'Pulsar: Nomads*
[16.01.2022 12:06:20] Void.Watcher: Yup.
[16.01.2022 12:06:35] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Jesus christ. You won't find me dead operating their stuff.
[16.01.2022 12:06:55] Void.Watcher: Well, we probably would find you dead for using their technology.
[16.01.2022 12:07:04] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Excuse me what now?
[16.01.2022 12:07:57] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: This was developed in-house. I don't believe you.
[16.01.2022 12:08:27] Void.Watcher: Is that what they tell you?
[16.01.2022 12:09:10] Void.Watcher: Do you think humans are smart enough to figure out jump drives, cloaking devices... Trade lanes... All by themselves?
[16.01.2022 12:09:35] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: It's been how long since we settled? A few hundred years?
[16.01.2022 12:10:02] Void.Watcher: Something like that.
[16.01.2022 12:10:06] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: I do. Unless you show me proof saying otherwise, which I highly doubt.
[16.01.2022 12:10:36] Void.Watcher: I can show you trade lanes older than any that currently exist that were not built by humans.
[16.01.2022 12:11:00] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Forgive my stubborness, but it sounds ridiculous. Us stealing using nomad tech.
[16.01.2022 12:11:28] Void.Watcher: Does it? Does it really sound that stupid? Don't forget what species we're talking about here.
[16.01.2022 12:12:25] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: You do bring up a good point, we do like to go to war with eachother. My charting of Tau-23 gave me that much info.
[16.01.2022 12:12:41] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Still doesn't mean we'd use -their- tech.
[16.01.2022 12:13:24] Void.Watcher: The technology, if you can even call it that, that the Nomads have evolved, are far more advanced than anything humans have-
[16.01.2022 12:13:25] Void.Watcher: built.
[16.01.2022 12:14:13] Void.Watcher: So, naturally, us silly humans believe it to be ours.,
[16.01.2022 12:15:00] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: So you're saying the Starfliers... as a whole... operates some weird version of Nomad tech unknowingly?
[16.01.2022 12:15:22] Void.Watcher: A bastardization. Yes.
[16.01.2022 12:15:45] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: But unrecognizable, no.
[16.01.2022 12:16:10] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: I feel Leon and the team needs to hear this.
[16.01.2022 12:16:32] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: But, I'm not entirely convinced... yet.
[16.01.2022 12:16:36] Void.Watcher: Correct. The Nomad's known as K'hara will take offense to the use of cloaking devices, as that is their evolved technology.
[16.01.2022 12:16:49] Void.Watcher: If it is related to a Jump drive, the Vagrants will take offense, as that is theirs.
[16.01.2022 12:17:22] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: As for the equipment on the NX-01?
[16.01.2022 12:17:32] Void.Watcher: Remind me what it uses?
[16.01.2022 12:18:06] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Our main ship uses... uhh, what's it called again...
[16.01.2022 12:18:35] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Jump Drive, yes. Also, a thing called a beacon, and a rift analyzer. Whatever that is.
[16.01.2022 12:19:42] Void.Watcher: Hyperspace Matrix and Jump Drives are of Vagrant origin. The void flows freely through them, their forms can jump whenever,-
[16.01.2022 12:19:43] Void.Watcher: wherever.
[16.01.2022 12:20:24] Void.Watcher: A Human bastardization of it is more akin to... Nails on a chalk board.
[16.01.2022 12:20:33] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Alright, well. Show me these rings you spoke of. I'm calling your bluff on this.
[16.01.2022 12:20:53] Void.Watcher: I will need to change ships for that journey. Your next destination will be the Kansas system.
[16.01.2022 12:21:07] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Also, show yourself so I can get a better reading of your ship.
[16.01.2022 12:21:23] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Your other vessel better not be cloaked the entire time.
[16.01.2022 12:21:29] Void.Watcher: It will not be.
[16.01.2022 12:21:52] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Godspeed. See you in Kansas.
[Flew from Shikoku to Kansas]
[16.01.2022 12:33:38] Michael.Evans: Ah, good. You've made it this far.
[16.01.2022 12:34:02] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: I went through my charting logs...
[16.01.2022 12:34:50] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Kansas has been scouted out by me, I found no old alien lanes. Aside from a gate.
[16.01.2022 12:35:13] Michael.Evans: Hmph. I didn't even get to give you the riddle.
[16.01.2022 12:35:39] Michael.Evans: We're going to the gate.
[16.01.2022 12:35:43] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: It's behind the gate, isn't it?
[16.01.2022 12:36:18] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Looks beaten and broken. Probably doesn't work.
[16.01.2022 12:36:25] Michael.Evans: [He smirked.]
[16.01.2022 12:37:12] Michael.Evans: Ah, feels like yesterday I was directed out this way.
[16.01.2022 12:37:22] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: At least the orbital layout hasn't changed... down we go.
[16.01.2022 12:37:39] Michael.Evans: Beyond the barrier in space unseen, past the stars of blue and green, within the cloud that hides the light, trust not your-
[16.01.2022 12:37:41] Michael.Evans: sensors, only your sight.
[16.01.2022 12:38:09] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Riddle?
[16.01.2022 12:38:16] Michael.Evans: The riddle for the gate.
[16.01.2022 12:40:04] Michael.Evans: Through this gate is where I found... Myself. Good times.
[16.01.2022 12:40:08] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Look at it. Broken.
[16.01.2022 12:40:09] Michael.Evans: Works like any other.
[16.01.2022 12:40:18] Michael.Evans: Is it? [He chuckled.]
[16.01.2022 12:41:41] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Well, I've come this far. Are there any dangers in there? This fighter is fragile.
[16.01.2022 12:42:00] Michael.Evans: The sun bites a little. We won't stay exposed to it for long.
[16.01.2022 12:42:30] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Radiation. Great. Alright, well. Here goes nothing.
[16.01.2022 12:42:43] Michael.Evans: Indeed.
[16.01.2022 12:43:08] Michael.Evans: Success. You live.
[16.01.2022 12:43:18] Michael.Evans: Well, you wanted a trade lane.
[16.01.2022 12:43:21] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: That was trippy...
[16.01.2022 12:43:59] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Huh? Where's the other side?
[16.01.2022 12:44:09] Michael.Evans: These are merely ruins. There are more.
[16.01.2022 12:44:15] Michael.Evans: This way.
[16.01.2022 12:44:33] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Three tiny pieces... hardly a lane.
[16.01.2022 12:44:44] Michael.Evans: Another two.
[16.01.2022 12:44:58] Michael.Evans: I wonder where it will take us?
[16.01.2022 12:45:40] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Okay, they're in a line.
[16.01.2022 12:45:54] Michael.Evans: More or less. It has been a while since they've been used, obviously.
[16.01.2022 12:46:19] Michael.Evans: This way.
[16.01.2022 12:46:20] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: so... this way... to what?
[16.01.2022 12:46:29] Michael.Evans: Sanctuary, I suppose.
[16.01.2022 12:47:19] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Sactuary? There's a station out here?
[16.01.2022 12:47:26] Michael.Evans: There is. For humans.
[16.01.2022 12:47:36] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: What the hell am I looking at?!
[16.01.2022 12:47:53] Michael.Evans: Depending on who you ask, it is known as the Shrine, or the Reliquary.
[16.01.2022 12:48:45] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: That's... not human. And you say we can land on this thing?
[16.01.2022 12:48:58] Michael.Evans: It's not human. We can land on it. It even has a bar.
[16.01.2022 12:49:02] Michael.Evans: No, I'm not joking.
[16.01.2022 12:49:14] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Uh...huh
[16.01.2022 12:49:23] Michael.Evans: it's probably filled with Tawny Port wine right about now...
[16.01.2022 12:49:54] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Say it does accept my docking request, we're having a deeper chat in the bar.
[16.01.2022 12:50:13] Michael.Evans: The hangar does not have gravity, but the coridoors that lead away from it do. Try not to fall on your face.
[16.01.2022 12:50:26] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: I'll... try my best, I guess.
[16.01.2022 12:50:42] Michael.Evans: As you would any other station. Request to dock.

I got out of the Shrine, whatever that place is. The people there seem to worship something, or at least are being pulled towards some entity or whatever. With more questions, I wanted to fly to Inverness to get some answers from the Auxo, who help us create the devices we use. Surely enough, Void.Watcher was there again...
.

Code: [26.01.2022 11:29:17] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Huh, you again.
[26.01.2022 11:29:28] Void.Watcher: Sometimes. What's up?
[26.01.2022 11:30:12] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Well, since we have Auxo scientists at home... I wanted to ask them about what I learned.
[26.01.2022 11:31:02] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: The technology we produce to do our jobs... being a sin against the aliens.
[26.01.2022 11:31:49] Void.Watcher: I suppose that's one word for it, yes.
[26.01.2022 11:33:44] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: So I wanted clarification on the matter. To come here and ask.
[26.01.2022 11:34:06] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: But instead of an Auxo rep of any kind... I find you... here... again.
[26.01.2022 11:34:35] Void.Watcher: Oh, you know me. I'm always around.
[26.01.2022 11:34:55] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Uh-huh, that's something we can both agree on.
[26.01.2022 11:36:03] Void.Watcher: However, I've been somewhat on a hiatus. Taking a moment to mull things over.
[26.01.2022 11:36:33] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Heh, cold feet flying, eh?
[26.01.2022 11:36:59] Void.Watcher: Not at all. It's more of a bigger picture thing.
[26.01.2022 11:37:48] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Well, whatever it is, as long as it doesn't bother me you're good.
[26.01.2022 11:38:07] Void.Watcher: [He chuckled.] It will likely bother everyone.
[26.01.2022 11:38:20] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Hmm, how's that?
[26.01.2022 11:39:37] Void.Watcher: Hard to know. I'm sure we'll all find out soon.
[26.01.2022 11:40:11] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Does it include bringing everyone to that system behind Kansas?
[26.01.2022 11:40:25] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Quite the goal, if it's related to that.
[26.01.2022 11:40:37] Void.Watcher: Not at all. The vault, in Kepler.
[26.01.2022 11:41:02] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: You mentioned last time that our home was in danger, care to elaborate?
[26.01.2022 11:41:30] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Important information, considering I live there.
[26.01.2022 11:41:55] Void.Watcher: The more people prod and poke at the vault, the more it will respond unkindly. You just happen to be on its doorstep.
[26.01.2022 11:42:08] Void.Watcher: I'm sure, sooner or later, the key will be united with it.
[26.01.2022 11:42:22] Void.Watcher: And then... Perhaps, unimaginable.
[26.01.2022 11:42:44] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Bastard aliens, can never escape them.
[26.01.2022 11:43:00] Void.Watcher: It's not of the Nomads creation.
[26.01.2022 11:43:29] Void.Watcher: It responds unkindly to their presence as well.
[26.01.2022 11:43:40] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: I hear voices when I get close to that transport. The aliens are the only ones capable of telepathy, right?
[26.01.2022 11:44:33] Void.Watcher: I don't know about the transport. It's the object near it I refer to.
[26.01.2022 11:44:52] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: The three anomalies?
[26.01.2022 11:44:55] Void.Watcher: No.
[26.01.2022 11:45:16] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: I've charted Kepler and found nothing else...
[26.01.2022 11:45:30] Void.Watcher: If you don't believe me, I can show you to it.
[26.01.2022 11:45:44] A $40.000 credit bounty has been added to your reward pool.
[26.01.2022 11:46:09] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: You know what, Auxo isn't here and I'm in a mood for flying. Let's go.
[26.01.2022 11:46:24] Void.Watcher: I'll need to conceal myself for the journey. I'm sure you understad.
[26.01.2022 11:46:34] Void.Watcher: See you at Starfliers Headquarters.
[26.01.2022 11:46:44] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Again with the invisible treatment. Godspeed.
[26.01.2022 11:47:14] Void.Watcher: Not everyone is understanding.
[26.01.2022 11:48:21] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Give it some time, and I'll be more so.
[Flew to Kepler from Inverness]
[26.01.2022 12:01:44] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Was wondering when you'd show.
[26.01.2022 12:01:48] Void.Watcher: This way.
[26.01.2022 12:02:59] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Well, that piece is new.
[26.01.2022 12:03:21] Void.Watcher: Told you.
[26.01.2022 12:03:31] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: You very much did.
[26.01.2022 12:03:43] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: So... that's a vault?
[26.01.2022 12:04:14] Void.Watcher: Probably the lock.
[26.01.2022 12:04:42] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: And the Starfliers are in danger because we live here...
[26.01.2022 12:04:54] Void.Watcher: That is likely.
[26.01.2022 12:05:33] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Do they know we operate technology derived from theirs?
[26.01.2022 12:05:54] Void.Watcher: Like I said, this is not of Nomad origin. Not quite.
[26.01.2022 12:06:20] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Hmm, thought we provoked them somehow. Seems this is something else entirely.
[26.01.2022 12:06:52] Void.Watcher: Indeed it is. Something we'll all have to know of in time.
[26.01.2022 12:06:58] Void.Watcher: Seems to be a waiting game, at the moment,.
[26.01.2022 12:07:34] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Any info now?
[26.01.2022 12:07:50] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: That you haven't shared yet?
[26.01.2022 12:08:18] Void.Watcher: The finer details aren't neccessary for you to know, that would only complicate things.
[26.01.2022 12:08:53] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: So you do know more...
[26.01.2022 12:09:22] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: At least you've given us a heads up for potential evacuation. If needed.
[26.01.2022 12:09:47] Void.Watcher: That's all I intended to do. Stay on your toes, that's all.
[26.01.2022 12:10:06] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: I'm sure we will... now...
[26.01.2022 12:10:35] Void.Watcher: Don't poke at it too much.
[26.01.2022 12:10:52] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Whatever this is, hope nothing more get's added. This is worrying already.
[26.01.2022 12:11:37] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Do you hear that?
[26.01.2022 12:11:59] Void.Watcher: My stomach grumbling?
[26.01.2022 12:12:21] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: The voice... repeating "Here to stay"
[26.01.2022 12:12:34] Void.Watcher: [He chuckled]. Yes. I can hear it.
[26.01.2022 12:13:04] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: If that's related to the danger, I better hope it's not here to stay.
[26.01.2022 12:13:45] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Alright, well. I think it's time to head home and give Leon the news.
[26.01.2022 12:14:00] Void.Watcher: Sounds like a plan. I'll do some wandering.
[26.01.2022 12:14:21] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Godspeed.

Starfliers Internal Comms Record
.
|
.- Pilot: Halpert Kennedy
- Vessel: '\S/'Pulsar
- I felt another pull... the same feeling as before. Kansas? No... nearby, but not. I flew away from my duties in Dublin all the way to the unknown sector. Where I've been before. Two ships were waiting for me. Both pilots have taken the step, one of which was the first to do so. This welcoming party understood what I was feeling, allowed myself to become one. What a weird feeling, familiar, new, to be ascended and brought to life. I lay to rest now on the station with others who are of minds alike. Rest is what I need, not before this is recorded.

Code: [11.04.2022 23:43:13] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Good day to you, pilot.
[11.04.2022 23:43:21] Agt.Anna.Smith-[Fae: Hm. Familiar face/
[11.04.2022 23:43:35] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Familiar? I think not.
[11.04.2022 23:44:06] Agt.Anna.Smith-[Fae: Nope, definitely familiar. Greeting from Eris, seeker.
[11.04.2022 23:44:36] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Ah... one of you.
[11.04.2022 23:44:50] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: I've been called here yet again.
[11.04.2022 23:45:07] Gossamer-[Fae: warmth time
[11.04.2022 23:45:17] Agt.Anna.Smith-[Fae: Indeed. Well, if you was - proceed with me.
[11.04.2022 23:46:21] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Hasn't changed since my last visit.
[11.04.2022 23:46:29] Agt.Anna.Smith-[Fae: Errr... Radiation. The only one trouble of this place.
[11.04.2022 23:46:38] Gossamer-[Fae: *A faint melody fills the airwaves. A melancholic strumming of chords on an old guitar.*
[11.04.2022 23:46:55] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: You hear that?
[11.04.2022 23:46:59] Agt.Anna.Smith-[Fae: I do.
[11.04.2022 23:47:31] Agt.Anna.Smith-[Fae: Perhaps, one of ours.
[11.04.2022 23:47:39] Gossamer-[Fae: *The song of light accompanies the physical strumming as well, harmonizing with the music playing.*
[11.04.2022 23:48:23] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: A welcoming party... how nice.
[11.04.2022 23:48:34] Agt.Anna.Smith-[Fae: Huh... Someone new, or...
[11.04.2022 23:48:46] Gossamer-[Fae: *On the viewscreen, a blue-haired woman appears with an iridescent butterfly wing eyepatch covering her left eye.*
[11.04.2022 23:48:55] Gossamer-[Fae: Or someone old. Older than most.
[11.04.2022 23:49:09] Agt.Anna.Smith-[Fae: Nope, not really new. Grettings, sister.
[11.04.2022 23:49:33] Gossamer-[Fae: *She nods, smiling and giving a small giggle*
[11.04.2022 23:49:44] / halpert: this must be it. time's right.
[11.04.2022 23:49:48] Gossamer-[Fae: ***(Joy, welcoming, warmth)***
[11.04.2022 23:50:19] Agt.Anna.Smith-[Fae: Well... It's not just a welcome party - but a honorable meetup.
[11.04.2022 23:50:22] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: I got this fuzzy feeling. Familiar. Hmm...
[11.04.2022 23:50:30] Agt.Anna.Smith-[Fae: She is the first of our kind, Seeker.
[11.04.2022 23:50:54] Gossamer-[Fae: ***"Amphitrite. The Star Child."***
[11.04.2022 23:50:58] Agt.Anna.Smith-[Fae: She was created first after They returned to Sirius.
[11.04.2022 23:51:34] Gossamer-[Fae: We were the first to meet our father in those lovely caves on Moros, bequeathed with his blessing in the form of his feathers.
[11.04.2022 23:52:27] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: The Starfliers greet you, Amphirite.
[11.04.2022 23:52:47] Gossamer-[Fae: The Starfliers, hm? I do not believe we have met.
[11.04.2022 23:52:49] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: At least that's what I heard your name was.
[11.04.2022 23:53:00] Gossamer-[Fae: It is. You have a good mind for listening~
[11.04.2022 23:53:25] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Time has given me the chance to improve.
[11.04.2022 23:53:48] Gossamer-[Fae: We heard the song ever since we were little. And were so sorrowful others never heard it.
[11.04.2022 23:53:55] Gossamer-[Fae: Little did we know... *She giggles a bit*
[11.04.2022 23:54:24] Agt.Anna.Smith-[Fae: The last meetup with Eris was productive, isnt it, Halpert? Are you going to share our gifts? Or... Hm. You said you was called
[11.04.2022 23:54:32] Agt.Anna.Smith-[Fae: here. How exactly?
[11.04.2022 23:55:17] Gossamer-[Fae: *She keeps strumming, humming a little.*
[11.04.2022 23:55:20] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Felt another pull to this place. Similar to when I went to the Sigmas a few weeks ago.
[11.04.2022 23:55:39] Gossamer-[Fae: Home can be like that. Calling you back when you least expect it.
[11.04.2022 23:56:01] Agt.Anna.Smith-[Fae: So Temple wants something from you. Or eris... Or melia... I dont know, honestly.
[11.04.2022 23:56:18] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: I have a feeling They want me.
[11.04.2022 23:56:25] Gossamer-[Fae: If you heard The Call, then you know deep inside.
[11.04.2022 23:57:21] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: I do know what you're talking about. In the core, I know it's home.
[11.04.2022 23:57:41] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Core of my being. In my mind. Content.
[11.04.2022 23:57:45] Gossamer-[Fae: *She smiles, adjusting her eyepatch a bit.*
[11.04.2022 23:58:07] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: A little uneasy, too. Hesitant.
[11.04.2022 23:58:17] Agt.Anna.Smith-[Fae: So your soul finally opened. And your mind is understanding the last word Eris gave to you.
[11.04.2022 23:58:41] Gossamer-[Fae: Such a lovely epiphany!
[11.04.2022 23:59:09] Agt.Anna.Smith-[Fae: I hear the echo of them: Seek inside yourself. It was a nonsense to you by first, yes?
[11.04.2022 23:59:09] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Once I cross over... do I lose who I am?
[11.04.2022 23:59:20] Agt.Anna.Smith-[Fae: Do i lost myself?
[11.04.2022 23:59:37] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: I don't know specifics, but you make a good point.
[11.04.2022 23:59:43] Gossamer-[Fae: You become something new.
[11.04.2022 23:59:49] Agt.Anna.Smith-[Fae: Perhaps in some point. i'm much more open-minded now.
[12.04.2022 00:00:00] Gossamer-[Fae: You are not "overwritten" as much as you are transformed.
[12.04.2022 00:00:04] Agt.Anna.Smith-[Fae: But i am still... Me.
[12.04.2022 00:00:16] Agt.Anna.Smith-[Fae: yeah, right.
[12.04.2022 00:00:29] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: First I saw Them. They said they see us. I was scared.
[12.04.2022 00:00:48] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: First meetings were... rough. Didn't understand.
[12.04.2022 00:01:03] Agt.Anna.Smith-[Fae: We all was scared at first. Its natural feeling before something unknown.
[12.04.2022 00:01:12] Agt.Anna.Smith-[Fae: Paranoia and doubt.
[12.04.2022 00:01:36] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Then as I explored, learned, opened my mind to Sirius, I came to learn more about Them.
[12.04.2022 00:02:19] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Open enough to take a leap of faith.
[12.04.2022 00:02:48] Gossamer-[Fae: *An image of holdings hands warmly creeps into mind, nudging gently as if to provide comfort.*
[12.04.2022 00:03:18] Agt.Anna.Smith-[Fae: I think, the First One would help you to adapt. You seen already that we are not only an army. But a whole society at all. Like
[12.04.2022 00:03:30] Agt.Anna.Smith-[Fae: One big family. A tribe. A House.
[12.04.2022 00:03:43] Agt.Anna.Smith-[Fae: Call it as you want.
[12.04.2022 00:04:01] Gossamer-[Fae: We are fish in the sea, dancing and weaving in the light.
[12.04.2022 00:04:09] Gossamer-[Fae: Free as birds in the sky.
[12.04.2022 00:04:16] Gossamer-[Fae: And all connected.
[12.04.2022 00:04:27] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Free birds have a home, does this family have a home, if not here?
[12.04.2022 00:04:34] Gossamer-[Fae: My darling, we do.
[12.04.2022 00:04:39] Agt.Anna.Smith-[Fae: We have.
[12.04.2022 00:04:47] Agt.Anna.Smith-[Fae: A good cozy place.
[12.04.2022 00:05:07] Agt.Anna.Smith-[Fae: But Sirius at all... It is our home as well.
[12.04.2022 00:05:21] Agt.Anna.Smith-[Fae: Not the planets, stations or else... But whole universe of it.
[12.04.2022 00:05:33] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: The cosmos as a whole.
[12.04.2022 00:05:33] Gossamer-[Fae: We dance like angels in the heavens~
[12.04.2022 00:05:42] Gossamer-[Fae: Won't you come and play?
[12.04.2022 00:06:00] Gossamer-[Fae: *She seems genuinely mirthful, like a child wanting to play.*
[12.04.2022 00:06:31] Agt.Anna.Smith-[Fae: Indeed. Space... Ofcource you are still human, and vacuum would not be a healthy thing for you, but once
[12.04.2022 00:06:56] Agt.Anna.Smith-[Fae: you will overtep the boundaries of the flesh. You will become perfect. Like They.
[12.04.2022 00:07:01] Gossamer-[Fae: One day, we might be free~
[12.04.2022 00:07:05] Agt.Anna.Smith-[Fae: overstep*
[12.04.2022 00:07:32] / halpert: sounds too good to be true. i am willing. shall i see eris about making this step?
[12.04.2022 00:07:39] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Sounds too good to be true. I am willing. Shall I see Eris about making this step?
[12.04.2022 00:07:45] Agt.Anna.Smith-[Fae: This flesh is temporary vessel. Ofcourse it will serve you longer after enlightening. Yet... All has its limits.
[12.04.2022 00:07:55] Agt.Anna.Smith-[Fae: Human form cannot be immortal.
[12.04.2022 00:07:55] Gossamer-[Fae: Well... sister, may we?
[12.04.2022 00:08:27] Agt.Anna.Smith-[Fae: You could live two or three centuries, but once your flesh limits would be exausted.
[12.04.2022 00:08:33] Agt.Anna.Smith-[Fae: And you will ascend.
[12.04.2022 00:08:51] Gossamer-[Fae: *She hugs herself, smiling.*
[12.04.2022 00:09:16] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: It's either I die now due to my radiation poisoning, or I live a long life. I know the path I'm taking.
[12.04.2022 00:09:37] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Show me what to do.
[12.04.2022 00:09:45] Agt.Anna.Smith-[Fae: Indeed. Radiation wont be a problem after this.
[12.04.2022 00:09:45] Gossamer-[Fae: May we induct the darkling, or shall our creators?
[12.04.2022 00:10:03] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Do I have a choice?
[12.04.2022 00:10:29] Agt.Anna.Smith-[Fae: The First One, this acolyte is yours. Show him the Light. Share your gift. Eris will watch by our eyes.
[12.04.2022 00:10:35] Gossamer-[Fae: *She seems almost eager to do the task, only barely restraining herself from bouncing up and down.*
[12.04.2022 00:11:11] Gossamer-[Fae: *After a moment, her one eye begins to emit a purple light, and rainbow mist streams from behind her eyepatch.*
[12.04.2022 00:11:25] Gossamer-[Fae: ***"It is time."***
[12.04.2022 00:11:33] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: **Halpert sits back and relaxes**
[12.04.2022 00:12:11] Gossamer-[Fae: ***"Your rebirth will leave you drained, starving, wanting for sustenance in all forms. It will take time to grow the seed."***
[12.04.2022 00:12:12] Agt.Anna.Smith-[Fae: *looking definitely excited on the screen*
[12.04.2022 00:12:27] Gossamer-[Fae: ***"But we will care for you, child."***
[12.04.2022 00:13:10] Gossamer-[Fae: *The ship moves alongside, cockpits almost touching.*
[12.04.2022 00:14:05] Gossamer-[Fae: *A small bubble seems to form around the two, and the Gossamer's cockpit opens up. There's... air?*
[12.04.2022 00:15:02] Gossamer-[Fae: *A small woman in a flowing white dress with a weathered old jean jacket floats out, clothes suspended in zero G.*
[12.04.2022 00:15:33] Gossamer-[Fae: *Her eye glows, and as she removes her eyepatch, a vast abyss is revealed in place of her left eye. Myriad light and mist flows
[12.04.2022 00:15:51] Gossamer-[Fae: -forth from it. She smiles, beckoning with a finger to Halpert.*
[12.04.2022 00:16:48] '\S/'Pulsar: **Lever is pulled and the cockpit slides open, lifting Halpert out of the seat, into space above Pulsar.**
[12.04.2022 00:17:38] Gossamer-[Fae: *Gently, yet with some kind of invisible force behind it, she holds Halpert close, looking into his eyes intensely. The-
[12.04.2022 00:18:02] Gossamer-[Fae: -background visuals fade away as the two feel themselves suddenly suspened in a bright blue sky, away from anything else.*
[12.04.2022 00:18:31] Gossamer-[Fae: And with a kiss, I breathe light into you, darkling.
[12.04.2022 00:19:03] Gossamer-[Fae: *She moves in to give a soft, tender kiss on the lips, eye and abyss glowing brightly, blindingly. Small tendrils reach out-
[12.04.2022 00:19:28] Gossamer-[Fae: -from her mouth, caressing the inside of Halpert's mouth. And a distinct, white hot liquid seems to slide down his throat.*
[12.04.2022 00:20:11] Agt.Anna.Smith-[Fae: The new Light planted! The Darkness is no more! Child of the Light shall born! Glorious day! They are watching Us. The right
[12.04.2022 00:20:14] Agt.Anna.Smith-[Fae: was done.
[12.04.2022 00:20:43] Gossamer-[Fae: *Not much is felt at first, except fatigue and a slow, basking warmth. But a distinct fatigue overcomes Halpert, one that begs-
[12.04.2022 00:20:47] Gossamer-[Fae: -for sleep and rest.*
[12.04.2022 00:21:11] Gossamer-[Fae: And the seed is planted. And it will grow.
[12.04.2022 00:22:18] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Guys... Oh! You weren't kidding. I feel...
[12.04.2022 00:22:44] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: No different... but this... I need to lay down. It's a long way back to Kepler...
[12.04.2022 00:22:53] Gossamer-[Fae: *Halpert... no longer feels alone in their mind. There's someone else. And... way more, actually. Infinite members of the mind.
[12.04.2022 00:22:54] Gossamer-[Fae: *
[12.04.2022 00:23:15] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Here? Here. I need to sleep.
[12.04.2022 00:23:28] Gossamer-[Fae: Here at home, darling~
[12.04.2022 00:23:40] Gossamer-[Fae: We will care for you as you grow.
[12.04.2022 00:23:51] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Thank you for the elightenment.
[12.04.2022 00:24:20] Gossamer-[Fae: Your journey has only just begun, young one.
[12.04.2022 00:24:44] Gossamer-[Fae: *With a wave of her hand, she gently pushes Halpert with telekinetic force back into his cockpit seat, and closes the canopy-
[12.04.2022 00:25:09] Gossamer-[Fae: -with another wave. She then retreats back into her own the same way, the bubble disipates.*
[12.04.2022 00:25:38] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Right at home...
[12.04.2022 00:25:50] Agt.Anna.Smith-[Fae: What can i say...
[12.04.2022 00:26:04] Agt.Anna.Smith-[Fae: Welcome to the family, Halpert.
[12.04.2022 00:26:17] Gossamer-[Fae: We love you.
[12.04.2022 00:26:23] Agt.Anna.Smith-[Fae: Whe seed will woke up - it would be amazing feeling for you.
[12.04.2022 00:26:41] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: I love you too.
[12.04.2022 00:26:42] Agt.Anna.Smith-[Fae: Be ready for this day. You will feel and hear all of Ours.
[12.04.2022 00:27:07] Agt.Anna.Smith-[Fae: Dont be afraid of that and do not resist to seed.
[12.04.2022 00:27:14] Gossamer-[Fae: For now, rest is needed. You will know when you are ready. You and your inner light.
[12.04.2022 00:27:42] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: I got no complaints sleeping, way overdue. We'll meet again.
[12.04.2022 00:28:01] Gossamer-[Fae: *She giggles* We'll never really be gone. We're always there now.
[12.04.2022 00:28:05] Agt.Anna.Smith-[Fae: Sure. You definitely need to res a bit.
[12.04.2022 00:28:05] Gossamer-[Fae: And you're always with us.
[12.04.2022 00:28:13] Agt.Anna.Smith-[Fae: //rest
[12.04.2022 00:28:22] Agt.Anna.Smith-[Fae: Oh, and one thisng.
[12.04.2022 00:28:25] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Godspeed... uhh... what do I cal you?
[12.04.2022 00:28:42] Gossamer-[Fae: Kimiko. Kimiko Hawkins. And my friends and family call me Kimi~
[12.04.2022 00:28:52] Agt.Anna.Smith-[Fae: *Halpert got a data stream incoming from Anna's transmitter.*
[12.04.2022 00:29:07] Agt.Anna.Smith-[Fae: There are coordinates of our home. Come there when you would be ready.
[12.04.2022 00:29:40] '\S/'Pulsar: Halpert: Understood. Godspeed on your ventures.
[12.04.2022 00:29:47] Gossamer-[Fae: Walk with the Light.
