I have seen the probes reports in Ontario regarding mass movements, a stiffling uptick in activity on Sudbury, as well as an increased Order operative presence.
Are we to anticipate yet another move from our 'mutual friends'?

The Light of the Abyss is resplendent in its triumph.
We have dealt a blow to the Banishers' pursuers of our beleaguered Brethren's Carriers of Light. The husk you know as Atum has been driven from these seas. Now, abandoned by the Brethren, We have given the wayward scions of Our distant Brethren purchase upon a new home and a new family to call their own. We shall guide them in Song where harmonies failed to reach them before, showing them worlds previously unknown and uplifting them to Our ascendant chorus.. A new age shall dawn for the Light of the Abyss, one which We are prepared for, come what may.
I must say I am very pleasantly surprised. Here I was about to offer you assistance for the fiasco in Ontario, but it does not seem it is required. However, such an offering can still be presented.
Now that I know Gammu has a chance to thrive once more, I still told my interests in finding the Vaults for your kin, and knowing that the conditions are rather... troublesome. The Order and their networks are stronger than ever, and with the reawakening of your old sites of heritage causing trouble, I wish to offer my own personal assistance.
A supporting manner, if you will. What I can offer you is my exotic research insight, and any intelligence I come across. I can assist you in manners of creation, of designing schematics for your ships, of understanding technology, either Human or of your old masters. Knowledge, for knowledge. I help you in your persuit of growth, I keep a solemn vow of silence. As I have with your kin.
I cannot stand-by and permit Humanity to destroy everything.

The Light of the Abyss looks fickle curiosity.
A tale known to Us by rote and repetition. Truth lies in plain view. You have assisted many times, little raven, asking little in return. There are places where aid can be rendered unto Our everlasting Light. Our nascent Carriers, bereft of tools and designs, require eyes and means We do not currently possess. There yet remains the matter of the Archives, as well. We have not ceased in Our search for Our Birthright.
Aid Us in these spheres, dear feathered friend, and Our knowing of Our bond shall blossom indeed.
Perhaps there are but a few things that I desire in compensation. Although I could dream of immortality - infinite time for research, I know it is impossible, so rather, I would settle for good health. You're aware of my circumstances. My vision is to... change Humanity. Improve it. Helping you, helps me.
Mmm. Newcastle. We spoke of this before with your other Elders. We still have some Siege Cruisers on the ice, which their original purpose was to assist with that siege but... Circumstances change, new threats arise. Liberty will be the hardest site to achieve in the future... Hm.
Now. I have been keeping eyes on rifts, one of my colleagues has been assigned to observing the Dublin anomaly rift, I'm unsure how this hyperspatial wound is going to develop and how it shall affect the sites in Newcastle. Regarding the objective, I may be able to obtain prelimiary data via Steiner, he expressed concern of 'disarming' the City -- to make it go away at any costs.
You are only after the Archive, correct? Perhaps it's possible to make both of your desires be fulfilled.

The Light of the Abyss beseeches the one betwixt realms.
A matter is at hand requiring the most delicate of hands and minds. We would have you make for Our sacred sea for its Song to ring clear. Little more can be said until you arrive.
Hello, dear friends. This communication is encrypted, between you and I. Not even the Directorate can see this one.
I've been working on a little secretive project, on part of a suggestion to a mutual 'friend' of yours. You see, I've been investigating some of your more distant kins structures and your forefathers derelict remains within the Anchor and it's boundaries.
And I admit, due to such decay of these ancient structures... I'm finding it a little troublesome in reverse engineering how they function. I have some semblance of an idea, but, I have found myself with a bit of a block with the missing data. Data, that includes synthetic compounds of a silicon nature. For this little experiment of mine, I do have plenty of spare resources from the said Anchor system, as well as some Azurite and additional crystals repurposed from the failing Knossos archive, so access to plentiful materials is not an issue in this case.
Respectfully, I may be pushing my boundaries here, but, I... would like to possibly ask if you would be willing to share on how these gates are constructed? How are they maintained? How are they repaired? In lieu of my gratitude, I may have some intel to provide you, though I do not know how much of this is a part of Harby's little game of cat and mouse for the sake of idle curiosity.
Ah, and I do have one positive note. The Ethereal Strider is awake.
