The Nomad Vagrants — The Wanderers' Directives

[Foxglove]

The voids were cold and unwelcoming. Distaste

The Advisor Dione expressed the need to refresh our knowledge of the nearest voids. Diligence. This one and Kessereya traversed the Horrible Void to glimpse the machinations of the Darklings of Cruelty and their use. Manufacturing their own shells, they oppose the Light. Kessereya imparted the finding upon us to learn and behave with care. Caution. There is the possibility for subterfuge. Consumed by vainglory, they might become tools if given an incentive.

Noticing an impetus of those hailing from the Void of Twilight, this one snuck away, watching, observing movements between the Void of Ishmael and the Void of Twilight. Interest. Pursuing, we followed into the Bright Void, though lost the trail. The beyond is barren and unfeasible, thus we merged with the background and returned to the safeguard of Ishmael. We perceived an exalted darkling serving the Light, imparting words about the Darklings of the Bright Void. Joy. The Banishers returned to the Ancient Voids, never to leave it. An exalted Elder swam besides us. Admiration.

[16.11.2016 18:07:23] Vagrant.Kishar: *The entity seems to simply watch the ships present*
[16.11.2016 18:08:28] Vagrant.Kishar: {It conveys a greeting, tentatively.}
[16.11.2016 18:08:37] NC-Enma.Loyola: *She bows and leaning back in the pilot chair*. What brings you here?
[16.11.2016 18:09:25] Vagrant.Kishar: {It shows a vision of Tau-37, the Freeport, Falkland, a question as to what was going on there.}
[16.11.2016 18:10:37] NC-Enma.Loyola: Those instalations are really old... One of them belongs to the people called "Zoners".
[16.11.2016 18:10:48] NC-Enma.Loyola: I'm sure you have met them already.
[16.11.2016 18:11:01] NC-Enma.Loyola: Other one in more... complicated.
[16.11.2016 18:11:35] Vagrant.Kishar: {It conveys a feeling of acknowledgement to the Zoners. The other it seems to be suspicious of.}
[16.11.2016 18:12:12] Vagrant.Kishar: *The Nomad seems to ignore the Junker. It is evident that its shell is somewhat strange, though. Smaller, frailer.*
[16.11.2016 18:13:03] NC-Enma.Loyola: Those are miners. Called IMG, they just... drilling the asteroids.
[16.11.2016 18:14:14] Vagrant.Kishar: {A question as to the usefulness is conveyed. A vision of Malta, then Falkland again, questioningly. Are they friends?}
[16.11.2016 18:15:02] NC-Enma.Loyola: Those are not our friends, they also do not accept the Oragne Gift. Even more, they are trying to prevet us from spreading it.
[16.11.2016 18:15:35] NC-Enma.Loyola: They generally hate the Orange kin, which is why we turn them into a workers on Malta.
[16.11.2016 18:16:26] Vagrant.Kishar: {A feeling of condemnation. A small snippet of a burning IMG ship. Then Malta again, a small Nomad in orbit, questioningly.}
[16.11.2016 18:17:55] NC-Enma.Loyola: Maltese won't hard you, don't worry about it. But even if they do something wrong, do not express your anger.
[16.11.2016 18:18:14] NC-Enma.Loyola: They are only standing on the path of Light and have a lot of things to learn.
[16.11.2016 18:18:46] Vagrant.Kishar: {Elation. Another vista of Malta, this time from 20 years ago, then nothing, as if the time up until now is missing. -
[16.11.2016 18:19:24] Vagrant.Kishar: - Another vision of an unknown space, hostile yet empty. A small group of Nomads stalk the void, hiding underground.}
[16.11.2016 18:22:03] NC-Enma.Loyola: A lot of things happened since then. The Orange kin even suffered a huge Civil War. We were killing each other.
[16.11.2016 18:22:48] NC-Enma.Loyola: So you have gathered enough energy to return back now? I see.
[16.11.2016 18:23:41] Vagrant.Kishar: {It seemed startled at the knowledge that Enma seemed to know about it. A small pause, -
[16.11.2016 18:24:01] Vagrant.Kishar: - then a snapshot of an active hypergate, spitting out a swath of Nomad shells.}
[16.11.2016 18:25:09] NC-Enma.Loyola: Oh, so you are the one who remained after. We have lost connection with you for so long.
[16.11.2016 18:26:20] Vagrant.Kishar: {Another pause, then a picture of two broken parts of an asteroid that won't fit together anymore. A sunset in timelapse.}
[16.11.2016 18:27:56] NC-Enma.Loyola: You don't want to sing the same song with us anymore? Why?
[16.11.2016 18:29:02] Vagrant.Kishar: {It draws attention to its appearance, underdeveloped. Another snapshot of a K'Hara vessel whizzing past it, ignoring it.}
[16.11.2016 18:31:18] NC-Enma.Loyola: Yes, your form is old and different, but... *she paused* You need a help with development then.
[16.11.2016 18:31:37] NC-Enma.Loyola: You are falling back in time, but it's possible to 'fix'.
[16.11.2016 18:32:43] Vagrant.Kishar: {Agreement. Planet Moros flashes briefly, a few Nomad forms digging into the ground. Fear of open space.}
[16.11.2016 18:33:19] Vagrant.Kishar: {The Core nearby. A Nomad hides in the asteroid fiend surrounding Moros.}
[16.11.2016 18:34:52] NC-Enma.Loyola: That's a pretty far away from here and I doubt that I will manage to involve the Maltese into it.
[16.11.2016 18:35:48] Vagrant.Kishar: {Another vista of the Core shoting a Zoner vessel. A question whether the two are enemies.}
[16.11.2016 18:37:11] NC-Enma.Loyola: That's a really strange conflict yes, as I'm aware it's frozen at the moment. Core was trying to destroy one of the station
[16.11.2016 18:37:21] NC-Enma.Loyola: s they call "Freeports".
[16.11.2016 18:39:01] Vagrant.Kishar: {Excitement. A vista of the Freeport, a Nomad hiding behind it, then Moros again.}
[16.11.2016 18:39:36] NC-Enma.Loyola: Ah, so you even know which Freeport I'm talking about. That's good.
[16.11.2016 18:40:20] Vagrant.Kishar: {It repeats the picture of the Nomad hiding behind the Freeport from a Core Mako, then Moros again, questioningly.}
[16.11.2016 18:41:19] NC-Enma.Loyola: Freeport isn't as safe as Moros. No.
[16.11.2016 18:41:50] NC-Enma.Loyola: But Zoners are pretty much in the same situation.
[16.11.2016 18:42:06] Vagrant.Kishar: {It conveys the concept of protection by the Zoners, though it doubts the likeliness.}
[16.11.2016 18:43:06] NC-Enma.Loyola: You know that they all have to persih. But I doubt that even situative alliance is possible.
[16.11.2016 18:44:06] Vagrant.Kishar: {Two Nomad ships fighting alongside a Zoner one against a Mako, then a knife into its back with the Core destroyed wholly.}
[16.11.2016 18:44:58] NC-Enma.Loyola: You should afraid Zoners as well. They do cooperate with the Order. I know you remember what the Order is.
[16.11.2016 18:45:19] Vagrant.Kishar: *Its shell bristles at the mentioning of the name*
[16.11.2016 18:45:55] Vagrant.Kishar: {Pain. A strong undertow and then darkness before being hurled into foreign space, alone, confused, the hypergate behind it}
[16.11.2016 18:47:14] Vagrant.Kishar: {A seething hatred. An Osiris. The burning remains of Toledo. Satisfaction.}
[16.11.2016 18:48:17] NC-Enma.Loyola: I can feel your pain. *The tears are gathering in her eyes*
[16.11.2016 18:49:51] Vagrant.Kishar: {A pause. A vista of the Outcasts, then the Wild, questioningly. More allies?}
[16.11.2016 18:52:12] NC-Enma.Loyola: Unline during the Nomad war some humans are actually helping us.
[16.11.2016 18:52:41] NC-Enma.Loyola: They are gathering in differed groups and organizations. The largest at the moment is the Church of Sirius.
[16.11.2016 18:52:51] NC-Enma.Loyola: We are using them as agents mainly.
[16.11.2016 18:53:27] Vagrant.Kishar: {Curiosity. A snippet of two talking humans, one with a knife behind its back.}
[16.11.2016 18:54:35] NC-Enma.Loyola: Those humans are smart enough to realize how corrupt their nature is. They see only hope on the path of Light.
[16.11.2016 18:55:05] NC-Enma.Loyola: They are brave enough to 'betray' rest of the humanity, yes. But this is something that we should support.
[16.11.2016 18:56:02] Vagrant.Kishar: {Satisfaction. Another pause, the concept of the Church and the Nomad being apart, unable to reach each other.}
[16.11.2016 18:56:24] Vagrant.Kishar: {Two humans talking, then again the concept of apartness, questioningly.}
[16.11.2016 18:57:53] NC-Enma.Loyola: They are communicating using people like me, some are hybrids. Some are meditating for years and then be able to temporary
[16.11.2016 18:57:59] NC-Enma.Loyola: enter the mindshare.
[16.11.2016 18:58:26] NC-Enma.Loyola: It is a complicated process, but they have a stable contact with the Light and following the path.
[16.11.2016 18:58:51] Vagrant.Kishar: {Consternation. The concept of it being incompatible with the mindshare.}
[16.11.2016 19:00:27] NC-Enma.Loyola: This will take many generations. But those humans who are willing to serve should be allowed to do it.
[16.11.2016 19:01:29] Vagrant.Kishar: {Agreement. It conveys that it cannot enter the mindshare, and thus can't interface with those hybrids.}
[16.11.2016 19:04:02] NC-Enma.Loyola: I can see your problem. I'm in the Church and if you want to talk with out... head hybrid I can try to organize the meeting
[16.11.2016 19:05:15] Vagrant.Kishar: {Elation. It shows Moros, two ships in orbit, one Nomad, one Maltese, questioningly.}
[16.11.2016 19:06:06] NC-Enma.Loyola: This is problematic, but possible.
[16.11.2016 19:06:47] Vagrant.Kishar: {It displays an array of Omicron systems, though there is a fear of straying from Omicron Lost too far.}
[16.11.2016 19:08:37] NC-Enma.Loyola: I will be in thouch and will try to help you out.
[16.11.2016 19:08:51] NC-Enma.Loyola: Don't worry and don't be afraid, we will figure everything out.
[16.11.2016 19:09:00] NC-Enma.Loyola: I have to leave now.
[16.11.2016 19:09:12] Vagrant.Kishar: {Gratefulness. It shows a ship fading into cloak.}
