old 112117 Khara how does it work?

[Slomon K'Hara]

Death, Rebirth, and Ascension.

To plainly state that "the dream" could be a common hallucination to the Khara would be fair however to them it is real. In reality it took the form of the master controller node which all energy and material flow. This widened into a gateway into a type of shadowlands beyond the mental interface of the hivemind or mirrorshare. A literal World that can give the Nymphs life, death, and experience to grow was provided.

This was the transition between genetically engineered architecture to a naturally maturing life cycle with stages in a energy rich environment that tested the fortitude of the new hybrids so that only the truly exceptional ascended into the material diemension where the hive was fighting for superiority and survival.

But this also hints to the legacy of their creators. .. Did the Dom K'vosh encounter a similar bridge into subspace? is this where they all went? ... The question looms in some of the more contemplative beings among the methuselahs.

When a Nymph ascends it is deemed to be a fully formed individual with all the abilities of its forebearers. This includes crafting objects and often this is their own fleet of vessels to control. The nymph "hatches as little more then a cerebrum and prehensile petals and matures via reinforced self image into a humanoid form of its choosing. The entire biological template of life the nomads have assimilated are their canvas as they are chimeras and encounter humans they will often choose to. mimic a humanoid style depending on the Nymphs/Neonates personality this can be a terrifying or pleasing appearance.

Master Teacher

Sacrifice was another merit rediscovered by the hive. Thomas Aquintas had sacrificed everything to even give the race a chance. Many Nymphs are taught about humans and their perspectives from Master Teacher.. He above all preaches that love and compassion are universal and could heal the rift if applied wisely.

Even though he is respected and teaches about material concepts better than any methuselah the nymphs do not all hold the same opinions as they are free to make their own judgements.

In case a Nymph is maimed or nearly killed Thomas is one of the few beings within the Dream who can heal injuries and sickness. Advisors possess the ability but are extremely hard to find as they reside in the ethers above the "land" of the dream.

These close calls with mortality teach that.. life as energy cannot be destroyed but some changes are permanent and that all actions can lead to dire consequences. Though to say the dream is a heavenly place is extremely wrong as many of the spaces that are left alone contain predatory constructs or creeps. As result of the shadowy aspects of the hivemind that grows as hostility and war is used the influx of creeps in the shadowlands rises and often falls to the nymphs and wanderers to cull or kill.

When one is fully developed the connection to the master processor develops and the Nymph "feels" the existence of the other world and decides to transition to it. This is called Ascension.

Infrequently the ascended will return to the dream not only for rest and recuperation (time there is ultra compressed to the point of.. nearly no time is spent being there) but to visit and give him updates on the outside world.

Further when a Somnium awakens to the material world it is a Solomon Khara as it is no longer dreaming.
