Phase 1 -The Temple of the Revenant - Omicron 82

[|nfrared]

As the old one entered I was abruptly reminded of our vulnerability. This one was suffering the first stages or iridium deficiency, a sickness that Splinter was quick to draw attention to. This was our one major obstacle - should we find iridium and be able to get it to the Temple, our existence would become that much more bearable.

I had planned for this however. Such a rare mineral in preliminary reports was still several stars away, and for that reason I had charged another Seer with assessing the damage to the Bridge - The escape we had used to arrive here in the first instance. A small jump, if possible, could relocate the Temple to a point within limbs reach of our goal.

Refusing to answer in the adopted tongue as the others had, I communicated again through the implants.

"There are other yet to have audience, Splinter. The fabric of my intentions is unfolding, my foresight in this matter will benefit us all. We must discount no options if we are to survive. These designs are most promising. The old one has exceeded my expectations. Pray that the others do as well. Our survival depends upon it."

Turning back to the view of the fabrication coil, he added -

"Others will arrive shortly. I would have your council as I learn of their progress. Stay."

He indicated an antigravitational pillar, a device where one could float without bearing the weight of their physical form.
