[06.02.2022 19:48:13] "Ridge": ->: Raven? Are you there?

[06.02.2022 19:48:16] Quimper-[Fae: C: Good evening Revenant.

[06.02.2022 19:48:33] A/)-Revenant: ["Yes. What is it?"

[06.02.2022 19:48:43] "Ridge": Well, uh. Are you well?

[06.02.2022 19:50:44] A/)-Revenant: ["Yes. What is it?"]

[06.02.2022 19:50:56] A/)-Revenant: O-oh.

[06.02.2022 19:51:07] A/)-Revenant: ["Oh - Harbinger is here. "]

[06.02.2022 19:51:14] "Ridge":  ...have fun, then.

[06.02.2022 19:51:26] "Ridge": I'll be out bombing The Insurgency with the Xenos.

[06.02.2022 19:51:29] Entity: ***"Travels 'abroad' are commonplace in ~my~ endeavours."

[06.02.2022 19:52:15] A/)-Revenant: Heheh. Go get them.

[06.02.2022 19:52:36] Entity: ***"There is 'precious-little' left around to draw the interest... The focus lies elsewhere."

[06.02.2022 19:53:24] A/)-Revenant: It boggles the mind as to why you wanted to take a look into these 'graves' in the first place. What kind of test is this, 

[06.02.2022 19:53:25] A/)-Revenant: really?

[06.02.2022 19:53:57] Quimper-[Fae: Thraike: "There is a lot of precious in these voids.. some thing might have to be found but afterall this shall be our home."

[06.02.2022 19:54:10] Entity: ***"~you~ are making... a progress still, are you not?"

[06.02.2022 19:54:27] Death: 46th|J:Creed suffered a self-inflicted catastrophic decompression.

[06.02.2022 19:54:54] Entity: ***"So this to be a 'home' for the lost ones... Amidst -nothing- and -nowhere-..."

[06.02.2022 19:55:22] Quimper-[Fae: "Ours shall make it to one."

[06.02.2022 19:55:31] A/)-Revenant: I don't think it would be wise to get too attached to this place.

[06.02.2022 19:56:38] Quimper-[Fae: "This might be true."

[06.02.2022 19:56:59] Entity: ***"Unwanted visitors pour in... Irresistable."

[06.02.2022 19:57:32] Quimper-[Fae: C: We are already working on it. Our children are.

[06.02.2022 19:59:08] "Ridge":  ...oh. Oh. Oh. Oh, fuck.

[06.02.2022 19:59:12] A/)-Revenant: What?

[06.02.2022 19:59:28] A/)-Revenant: Apologies, wrong line.

[06.02.2022 19:59:32] A/)-Revenant: What?

[06.02.2022 20:00:46] Entity: ***"A tour... (amused)"

[06.02.2022 20:02:06] A/)-Revenant: What's wrong? Do you need help?

[06.02.2022 20:02:57] Quimper-[Fae: T: "Our sister nymph tasked ours to make this place a bigger home for our children."

[06.02.2022 20:04:02] Quimper-[Fae: T: "Ours will soon start construction of a darkling habitat on the sphere."

[06.02.2022 20:04:19] Entity: ***"Have -wrathful- bretheren paid a visit yet?"

[06.02.2022 20:04:46] Quimper-[Fae: T: "Not to the knowledge of ours. Maybe the Raven can enlighten more?"

[06.02.2022 20:04:48] Entity: ***"Scenery might 'remind' them of the beginnings... Perhaps."

[06.02.2022 20:04:50] A/)-Revenant: One.

[06.02.2022 20:04:53] A/)-Revenant: Ki'Shar.

[06.02.2022 20:05:09] A/)-Revenant: There may have been another. I would not know for certain.

[06.02.2022 20:07:17] Quimper-[Fae: T: "Ours wonder. Does yours posses knowledge of the infestation of husks."

[06.02.2022 20:08:38] Entity: ***"Is your protege in 'danger'? (concerning)"

[06.02.2022 20:08:46] A/)-Revenant: He went to attack the Insurgency.

[06.02.2022 20:09:00] A/)-Revenant: He has yet to answer me - I only heard brief panic upon the comms.

[06.02.2022 20:09:32] Entity: ***"Unexpected aggression... a shift in character perhaps (contemplating)"

[06.02.2022 20:09:52] A/)-Revenant: It was expected.

[06.02.2022 20:10:05] A/)-Revenant: He wishes to prove himself to be strong, to not be pushed around.

[06.02.2022 20:10:21] A/)-Revenant: I cannot always help him, so I gave him space to figure this one out on his own.

[06.02.2022 20:11:12] A/)-Revenant: Vincent?

[06.02.2022 20:11:45] "Ridge": Yea-- urgh...fucking Insurgency.

[06.02.2022 20:11:52] Entity: ***"He may wish to seek help from 'lost ones' here. Their ~hyperspace~ attunement may aid in our mutual endavours."

[06.02.2022 20:12:39] A/)-Revenant: I had thought of that long before you suggested so.

[06.02.2022 20:13:00] A/)-Revenant: He has discomfort with 'associating' with any of your kind, an understandable concern.

[06.02.2022 20:13:25] Entity: ***"His -choice- however how to approach."

[06.02.2022 20:13:41] A/)-Revenant: Indeed, his choice, no matter how illogical it may be.

[06.02.2022 20:13:50] A/)-Revenant: Yet I'm still aggravated.

[06.02.2022 20:14:04] A/)-Revenant: Why are we doing this? What is this all for, Harbinger? What is it you're hoping to find in these Vaults?

[06.02.2022 20:14:17] Entity: ***"~my~ preference is not to interfere unless absolutely necessary. The steps he takes are his, and yours by extension."

[06.02.2022 20:14:42] "Ridge":  ...are...you alright? You went abruptly silent.

[06.02.2022 20:14:53] A/)-Revenant: [a light exhale was had] A little annoyed.

[06.02.2022 20:15:06] "Ridge": Who's prodding your nerves now?

[06.02.2022 20:15:09] A/)-Revenant: Barry.

[06.02.2022 20:15:13] Entity: ***"Alternative solution to dilemma."

[06.02.2022 20:15:28] A/)-Revenant: What dilemma?

[06.02.2022 20:15:41] "Ridge": Really.

[06.02.2022 20:15:52] Entity: ***"Or perhaps discover it was all a fool's errand in the first place (oddly)"

[06.02.2022 20:16:25] A/)-Revenant: I do not appreciate vague answers, what is it that /you/ are seeking out from these Vaults?

[06.02.2022 20:17:08] Entity: ***"Are you worried what you may find will harm you and your -friends-, your kind?"

[06.02.2022 20:17:17] "Ridge": What's he done now? 

[06.02.2022 20:17:44] A/)-Revenant: Doing this - is already a risk for harm, no matter what is found. No, it is not a large fear.

[06.02.2022 20:18:06] A/)-Revenant: I do not like taking steps in the darkness, not without ... a form of will - of purpose. What is the point to this? Do /you/

[06.02.2022 20:18:10] A/)-Revenant: even know what you are looking for?

[06.02.2022 20:19:21] A/)-Revenant: I do not like working in the dark - what is the point of this journey.

[06.02.2022 20:19:39] A/)-Revenant: It has irritated me for months, of course, you may perceive it as paranoia. 

[06.02.2022 20:19:50] Entity: ***"(almost a laughter) Vaguely. It is not something you can ~know~ but feel..."

[06.02.2022 20:19:55] "Ridge": Perfectly understandable at this point.

[06.02.2022 20:20:24] A/)-Revenant: A feeling, to find what? Do you not think the risks will not affect you either?

[06.02.2022 20:21:02] "Ridge": So...what then?

[06.02.2022 20:21:13] A/)-Revenant: Hm?

[06.02.2022 20:21:20] "Ridge": Has he shed some.../any/ light on the situation?

[06.02.2022 20:21:49] A/)-Revenant: I am not sure what he looks for - but that is not what concerns me.

[06.02.2022 20:21:56] A/)-Revenant: It is whether he knows himself.

[06.02.2022 20:22:11] Entity: ***"Perhaps the risks are greater for ~myself~ than anything else. Acceptance had given me assurances and will to pursue..."

[06.02.2022 20:22:23] "Ridge": Barry having an existential crisis...?

[06.02.2022 20:22:28] A/)-Revenant: No.

[06.02.2022 20:22:50] A/)-Revenant: You cannot fulfill a deal if you are dead or worse. Such actions of taking a blind step into the darkness has a repurcussion

[06.02.2022 20:22:57] A/)-Revenant: for everything. Not just the one taking a peek in.

[06.02.2022 20:23:23] Entity: ***"...at long last. Consider it a doorway to alternative outcome, one that was once considered by the makers..."

[06.02.2022 20:23:33] "Ridge": I know. It is obvious by now that if we do get to open that vault /something/ will happen.

[06.02.2022 20:23:33] Entity: ***"...but ultimately discarded."

[06.02.2022 20:24:03] "Ridge": We won't just walk out of there in one piece.

[06.02.2022 20:24:09] "Ridge": Or...I-I don't know.

[06.02.2022 20:24:20] A/)-Revenant: The feeling you feel, are you certain it is familiar? Or is it too vague to tell what it is? Do you know what it is?

[06.02.2022 20:25:16] A/)-Revenant: Perhaps so, perhaps not. Although I have some confidence with cautious study, that we can alleviate any

[06.02.2022 20:25:17] A/)-Revenant: loss.

[06.02.2022 20:25:37] A/)-Revenant: If Melia can figure out how the Shrine blocks their signals, we could reduce our 'footprints' at least.

[06.02.2022 20:25:55] A/)-Revenant: Unfortunately, it appears they have not had any luck in studying it.

[06.02.2022 20:26:32] Entity: ***"Our kind is torn apart, in so the outcome intended has slowly been closing its door, the opportunities lost."

[06.02.2022 20:26:56] "Ridge": Unfortunate.

[06.02.2022 20:27:47] "Ridge":  ...well, I'm back home. E-Ehm. Well, this is dumb.

[06.02.2022 20:27:48] A/)-Revenant: You hope to find a tool to prevent such atrophic decay?

[06.02.2022 20:27:51] A/)-Revenant: Hm?

[06.02.2022 20:28:11] "Ridge": I need to board my transport and visit Kreuzberg soon. As soon as possible, actually.

[06.02.2022 20:28:37] A/)-Revenant: Why's that?

[06.02.2022 20:28:54] "Ridge": I'm missing a wing and two of my Thor's engines are blown.

[06.02.2022 20:29:32] A/)-Revenant:  ...oh. There was something we needed to speak about - but - one thing.

[06.02.2022 20:29:42] "Ridge": I got blasted by a Battlecruiser. ...at least I got out alive-- uh?

[06.02.2022 20:29:49] A/)-Revenant: Your home and the area around it is clear?

[06.02.2022 20:29:55] Entity: ***"Preventing might be impossible already."

[06.02.2022 20:30:20] "Ridge": Right now, yeah. I'm looking out the window and everything seems calm.

[06.02.2022 20:31:06] A/)-Revenant: A possibility, but, you have cause for this intrusion into the 'graves' - which eases my mind.

[06.02.2022 20:31:08] Death: XA-Ridgenose, was put out of action by IN|H-Slicer (Gun).

[06.02.2022 20:31:24] A/)-Revenant: That is good.

[06.02.2022 20:31:48] "Ridge": Why do you ask?

[06.02.2022 20:32:01] A/)-Revenant: Checking in, we found another Bell.

[06.02.2022 20:32:10] "Ridge": Where?

[06.02.2022 20:32:19] A/)-Revenant: The last incursion point, Sigma 59.

[06.02.2022 20:32:47] "Ridge": Third bell!

[06.02.2022 20:33:10] A/)-Revenant: Technically, fourth.

[06.02.2022 20:33:14] "Ridge": W-We should go there sometime! I-I mean. As soon as possible w-

[06.02.2022 20:33:17] "Ridge": Fourth?

[06.02.2022 20:33:23] A/)-Revenant: Oh look at that - A Valor.

[06.02.2022 20:33:28] A/)-Revenant: Intriguing.

[06.02.2022 20:34:08] A/)-Revenant: The first was within Kepler. As was second, and third.

[06.02.2022 20:34:23] "Ridge": Third? In Kepler?

[06.02.2022 20:34:26] "Ridge": I saw only two.

[06.02.2022 20:34:41] A/)-Revenant: I ponder if this vessel is going to open fire on me.

[06.02.2022 20:35:08] "Ridge": The Valor?

[06.02.2022 20:35:15] Entity: ***"Unwise to remain... 'unwanted guest'."

[06.02.2022 20:38:10] "Ridge": What's next?

[06.02.2022 20:38:39] A/)-Revenant: Look into the artifacts we found. Get that shield prototype on the run.

[06.02.2022 20:39:05] A/)-Revenant: If the Vagrants cannot properly analyse the Shrine, we may need to investigate it the more "materialist" approach.

[06.02.2022 20:39:09] Entity: ***"Remaining still... unwanted." (two orbs around form into large nomad vessels)

[06.02.2022 20:39:13] A/)-Revenant: I'd rather not touch it.

[06.02.2022 20:39:31] A/)-Revenant: A new friend.

[06.02.2022 20:39:41] "Ridge": We can go fairly soon-ish, I suppose.

[06.02.2022 20:40:40] A/)-Revenant: There is a purpose behind the incursion into the Vaults, mind you.

[06.02.2022 20:40:50] Entity: ***(irritation grows)

[06.02.2022 20:42:02] "Ridge": There is always a reason for...everything, I guess.

[06.02.2022 20:42:10] A/)-Revenant: Nerves are eased. I'd had feared it was another game. Another trick.

[06.02.2022 20:43:26] A/)-Revenant: Nephele. [nods]

[06.02.2022 20:43:31] Vagrant.Nephele: "*Yours* managed to surwive? Such persistence. Yet, it brings relief"

[06.02.2022 20:43:35] Entity: ***"Unwanted guests are abound... be wary of trespassers."

[06.02.2022 20:44:06] A/)-Revenant: Ah - Ki'Shar had picked me up. The exit converged on the latest incursion.

[06.02.2022 20:44:20] A/)-Revenant: I'm afraid not much was discovered - beyond some geological samples.

[06.02.2022 20:44:36] A/)-Revenant:  ... And some history. Odd that they never fully destroyed the husks.

[06.02.2022 20:44:44] A/)-Revenant: A warning, perhaps.

[06.02.2022 20:44:51] "Ridge": And it wasn't.

[06.02.2022 20:45:10] Vagrant.Nephele: "A pity it could not be of further assistance, but the very chance to behold the anomaly"

[06.02.2022 20:45:13] A/)-Revenant: Indeed. Perhaps m

[06.02.2022 20:45:28] A/)-Revenant: my mind is playing tricks on me. Being too near the Order - can set it off.

[06.02.2022 20:45:34] Vagrant.Nephele: "To feel its mesmerising pull"

[06.02.2022 20:45:43] Vagrant.Nephele: "It is grateful for that"

[06.02.2022 20:45:46] "Ridge": The Order is around again?

[06.02.2022 20:45:58] A/)-Revenant: The night before? They have been around in general.

[06.02.2022 20:46:12] Entity: ***"Powers that dwell beyond are not keen to share space... they can 'steal' your shape even."

[06.02.2022 20:46:43] "Ridge": One strange place you're in to peak their interest like that.

[06.02.2022 20:46:44] Entity: ***"And the memories. Precious memories."

[06.02.2022 20:46:51] "Ridge": Usually you see The Order that often in the Omicrons.

[06.02.2022 20:46:55] A/)-Revenant: They can not only read it, but replicate too?

[06.02.2022 20:47:22] A/)-Revenant: I'm one of the most wanted upon their lists.

[06.02.2022 20:47:37] Vagrant.Nephele: "The only thing *ours* truly care for, meticulously collected thoughts orbiting around the core of Light"

[06.02.2022 20:47:43] A/)-Revenant: Or did you forget they tried to kill my family and played on my ability to forgive?

[06.02.2022 20:48:05] Entity: ***(curious) "They are not what they ~seem~... wearing familiar 'skins'. Perhaps they are 'shy' to show themselves yet."

[06.02.2022 20:48:36] "Ridge": I didn't.

[06.02.2022 20:48:48] Vagrant.Nephele: "The very thought of being truly endangered feels...refreshing"

[06.02.2022 20:48:56] "Ridge":  ...and I'm somehow starting to believe I will reach that "Most Wanted" list. One way or another.

[06.02.2022 20:49:16] A/)-Revenant: If one of them believes that you are romancing me, you are in no doubt in their scopes.

[06.02.2022 20:49:19] Vagrant.Nephele: "Harbinger, *yours* did mention tresspassers"

[06.02.2022 20:49:24] A/)-Revenant: A Valor.

[06.02.2022 20:49:26] "Ridge": I doubt.

[06.02.2022 20:49:28] A/)-Revenant: It appears to have ran away.

[06.02.2022 20:49:36] "Ridge": I doubt anyone would believe that.

[06.02.2022 20:49:37] A/)-Revenant: You are with me, they saw you with me at the anomaly.

[06.02.2022 20:49:38] Entity: ***"But wary the moment when they no longer abide to maker's restrictions..."

[06.02.2022 20:50:01] A/)-Revenant: You could have at least warned us they were a conscious entity and not autonomous defenders.

[06.02.2022 20:50:37] Vagrant.Nephele: "It clashed againts *theirs* but felt nothing inside these husks"

[06.02.2022 20:50:38] "Ridge": So?

[06.02.2022 20:50:52] Entity: ***"Concious... unlike ~us~ and our bretheren you will find no means nor chance to 'speak'."

[06.02.2022 20:50:54] A/)-Revenant: You have been seen with me multiple times.

[06.02.2022 20:51:50] Entity: ***"Perhaps the only 'word' they will listen that of the Makers."

[06.02.2022 20:52:15] A/)-Revenant: They can learn, adapt, grow, problem solve, evolve. A fatal perception of mine to perceive them as a lesser guardian.

[06.02.2022 20:52:15] "Ridge":  ...so? I'd be with you anywhere, honestly. Doesn't matter who sees us, right?

[06.02.2022 20:52:19] Vagrant.Nephele: "But the ever hungry jaws of time devoured *theirs*"

[06.02.2022 20:52:26] A/)-Revenant: It means you're associated, and that they will target you.

[06.02.2022 20:52:40] Vagrant.Nephele: "Or maybe did they not?"

[06.02.2022 20:52:51] "Ridge": I can't be innocent forever, right? 

[06.02.2022 20:53:17] A/)-Revenant: You're already not, if that counts.

[06.02.2022 20:53:26] Vagrant.Nephele: "Makers devised all the Tribes, how would *theirs* perish while tools of *theirs* remain?"

[06.02.2022 20:53:30] Vagrant.Nephele: "Illogical"

[06.02.2022 20:53:40] A/)-Revenant: Perhaps something happened.

[06.02.2022 20:53:40] "Ridge":  ...I meant. Not being hunted by anyone.

[06.02.2022 20:53:46] A/)-Revenant: You don't know that.

[06.02.2022 20:53:50] A/)-Revenant: They /are/ keeping watch on you.

[06.02.2022 20:53:58] A/)-Revenant: You would be a fool to think otherwise.

[06.02.2022 20:54:07] A/)-Revenant: Especially after what you told the Section Eight pilot.

[06.02.2022 20:54:25] Entity: ***"To presume intent of maker's will is a folly, 'lost one'."

[06.02.2022 20:54:32] "Ridge": That he should open his eyes for once and not have me report every basic detail?

[06.02.2022 20:55:25] A/)-Revenant: Whatever the case, they are not present - and it is impossible to even begin to dare replicate them or comprehend

[06.02.2022 20:55:30] A/)-Revenant: what they might have been.

[06.02.2022 20:55:47] Vagrant.Nephele: "Remark of *yours* started this chain of speculation"

[06.02.2022 20:55:51] Vagrant.Nephele: "Maker's Word"

[06.02.2022 20:56:25] Vagrant.Nephele: "Perhaps a command remains, even if the commander perished"

[06.02.2022 20:56:25] 2022-02-06 20:57:21 SMT  Traffic control alert: Vagrant.Nephele has requested to dock

[06.02.2022 20:56:38] "Ridge":  ...and that I'm not going to report anything to Section 8 anymore. 

[06.02.2022 20:56:52] "Ridge": If that wasn't clear from the last time we talked business.

[06.02.2022 20:57:03] A/)-Revenant: Oh, absolutely.

[06.02.2022 20:57:37] Entity: ***"The sentinels follow the all-encompassing and overriding 'word'. (thinking) Perhaps we ~were~ ensnared by one once as well.

[06.02.2022 20:57:55] "Ridge": Hmm...now-- ah! Hold on...- yeah this should do.

[06.02.2022 20:58:13] Vagrant.Nephele: "Perhaps the command could be affected, or even negated"

[06.02.2022 20:58:17] A/)-Revenant: I have pondered if there was some form of override, but... it is hard to determine anything.

[06.02.2022 20:58:34] A/)-Revenant: If it has been so long, directives can become corrupted, twisted. Lost through time.

[06.02.2022 20:58:58] "Ridge": Partly irradiated, but better than no wing at all. I'll get the droids to attach it. Thank god I don't have to pay for my own-

[06.02.2022 20:59:00] "Ridge":  -repairs.

[06.02.2022 20:59:34] A/)-Revenant: I was going to show you around but - oh well.

[06.02.2022 20:59:55] A/)-Revenant: The Valkyrie, it will need repairing - the one I am willing to part with. It has been a bit... ehrm... Modified.

[06.02.2022 20:59:57] A/)-Revenant: To say the least.

[06.02.2022 21:00:48] Vagrant.Nephele: "What became of the Banishers, which has tracked you thought the gate?"

[06.02.2022 21:00:54] "Ridge": Valk-- right. The one you're willing to "part with"?

[06.02.2022 21:01:00] A/)-Revenant: They flew off. I was truly expecting them to kill me.

[06.02.2022 21:01:02] A/)-Revenant: Yes.

[06.02.2022 21:01:05] "Ridge": You had more of them? I thought you said you had only one.

[06.02.2022 21:01:18] A/)-Revenant: I told you that I had one to give you.

[06.02.2022 21:01:39] Vagrant.Nephele: "They crave for knowledge, would not block the spring from which it flows"

[06.02.2022 21:01:40] A/)-Revenant: Which was mine, known as the "Core|Wraith" from long time ago. I've had it since I was a Guildmaster.

[06.02.2022 21:01:44] Entity: ***"Irritating pests..."

[06.02.2022 21:02:00] A/)-Revenant: They will persist, it is Human nature to do so.

[06.02.2022 21:02:11] A/)-Revenant: Truthfully, I had thoughts. To not repair that jump drive.

[06.02.2022 21:02:12] A/)-Revenant: Pure spite.

[06.02.2022 21:02:39] "Ridge": A Core Valkyrie?

[06.02.2022 21:02:51] "Ridge": Y-- I always forget you were part of The Core.

[06.02.2022 21:02:53] Vagrant.Nephele: "Banishers, trapped eternally in foreign void, amusing thought"

[06.02.2022 21:03:12] A/)-Revenant: I've had it modified over the years, but I put it into storage at least five years ago before I went into stasis.

[06.02.2022 21:03:27] Vagrant.Nephele: "Banisher, Bird. What would be the next step on the path?"

[06.02.2022 21:03:40] Vagrant.Nephele: "Now that it tasted the mystery, it will not stay aside"

[06.02.2022 21:03:45] Entity: ***"Shall we 'bet' if they return favor (entertainingly)"

[06.02.2022 21:03:53] A/)-Revenant: Oh, they would.

[06.02.2022 21:04:09] "Ridge":  ...has it turned brown from the rust?

[06.02.2022 21:04:41] A/)-Revenant: It needs parts replacing, and the 'assimilated' parts gutted.

[06.02.2022 21:04:47] Entity: ***"As a once ~dreamer~kind the notion of 'betting' upon odds and chances delivered much amusement."

[06.02.2022 21:04:52] "Ridge": For example?

[06.02.2022 21:05:03] A/)-Revenant: I don't think you want to be stabbed by a machine into your brain.

[06.02.2022 21:05:40] A/)-Revenant: How can you bet - what would even be put upon the 'table' so to speak?

[06.02.2022 21:05:54] Entity: ***"Instead of inferring the outcome letting one remain blissful for the purpose of blind 'gain'..."

[06.02.2022 21:05:58] "Ridge": What?!

[06.02.2022 21:06:31] A/)-Revenant: Pffhehheh.

[06.02.2022 21:07:19] A/)-Revenant: Is there a problem, Vincent?

[06.02.2022 21:07:56] "Ridge": You're telling me there was a giant nail stabbing your brain each time you boarded the ship?

[06.02.2022 21:07:58] A/)-Revenant: Hmmm.

[06.02.2022 21:08:04] A/)-Revenant: Who said it was a nail?

[06.02.2022 21:08:36] "Ridge": Then what?

[06.02.2022 21:08:40] "Ridge": A giant syringe?

[06.02.2022 21:09:12] A/)-Revenant: Oh, I'll let you daydream all about it. It's going to be removed in the end.

[06.02.2022 21:10:12] A/)-Revenant: I wonder.

[06.02.2022 21:10:24] "Ridge":  ...it won't uh...kill the one that removes them. Right?

[06.02.2022 21:10:45] A/)-Revenant: I would never hurt you.

[06.02.2022 21:10:57] A/)-Revenant: For all intents and purposes, it will just be a regular ship.

[06.02.2022 21:11:01] A/)-Revenant: I am merely teasing you.

[06.02.2022 21:11:38] "Ridge": A normal ship. The ship of the former Guildmistress.

[06.02.2022 21:11:44] "Ridge": "Normal" ship.

[06.02.2022 21:11:57] A/)-Revenant: Yes. Normal.

[06.02.2022 21:12:00] A/)-Revenant: No one will know.

[06.02.2022 21:12:07] "Ridge": I will know.

[06.02.2022 21:12:23] A/)-Revenant: Then you will fly it with pride then, no?

[06.02.2022 21:12:25] "Ridge":  ...and there is a slight possibility Hachette will know, too.

[06.02.2022 21:12:35] A/)-Revenant: She won't. I never told her.

[06.02.2022 21:12:40] A/)-Revenant: She only has one close secret of mine.

[06.02.2022 21:12:41] A/)-Revenant: Well, two.

[06.02.2022 21:12:52] A/)-Revenant: The second was rather unwilling.

[06.02.2022 21:13:00] Vagrant.Nephele: "Truth remains hidden, the only result seem to be further antagonisms"

[06.02.2022 21:15:51] A/)-Revenant: [There was a forced tone, dry sarcasm] Oh, and if you get it blown up, I will forcefully remove your brain and shove it into

[06.02.2022 21:15:52] A/)-Revenant: a jar.

[06.02.2022 21:16:10] "Ridge": Something to remember once we uh. Push through?-- uh.

[06.02.2022 21:16:15] "Ridge": Please don't do that.

[06.02.2022 21:16:30] Vagrant.Nephele: "It vaguely felt the presence of *yours*"

[06.02.2022 21:16:33] A/)-Revenant: Hm.

[06.02.2022 21:18:49] Vagrant.Nephele: "or it is mistaken?"

[06.02.2022 21:19:00] Ki'Shar: "It is -not- mistaken."

[06.02.2022 21:19:06] "Ridge": Do I-- right. What other parts need to be replaced?

[06.02.2022 21:19:26] A/)-Revenant: I will send you a list over the comms.

[06.02.2022 21:20:10] "Ridge": I-- I might be able to e-ehm. Y-Yeah I will ehm. Get through the list and try my best.

[09.02.2022 16:50:25] Vatan: *A soft voice echoes, vaguely masculine, though of many voices.* "Yours brings the Lost with it."

[09.02.2022 16:51:37] A/)-Revenant: [Muttering quietly, hoping that they would pick up] Unintended. 

[09.02.2022 16:51:59] A/)-Revenant: Will it not suffice to commune in private?

[09.02.2022 16:52:30] Vatan: "We shall allow. But These Ones shall remain shouded, nearby."

[09.02.2022 16:52:42] A/)-Revenant: I understand.

[09.02.2022 16:53:13] A/)-Revenant: You recall our conversation, regarding the intent of Harbinger - how you believed he was working towards a negative outcome

[09.02.2022 16:53:15] A/)-Revenant: to your kind?

[09.02.2022 16:53:26] Vatan: "Towards All."

[09.02.2022 16:54:15] A/)-Revenant: Regardless... I do not believe the intention is that. Briefly, I spoke, to understand if this was a mad man's quest.

[09.02.2022 16:55:14] Vatan: "The Bird must understand differences of intentions and results."

[09.02.2022 16:55:27] Vatan: "This Knowledge should be Known."

[09.02.2022 16:56:28] A/)-Revenant: With the Order getting involved, more and more, the outcome will only steer towards all being inflicted with their carelessness

[09.02.2022 16:56:41] A/)-Revenant: Results - cannot be determined. I do not think even he can determine it

[09.02.2022 16:57:07] Vatan: "The Light seeks our Knowledge left for us. We all have such drives."

[09.02.2022 16:57:16] Vatan: "We must seek for such."

[09.02.2022 16:57:27] A/)-Revenant: What I believe he insinuated through -- Yes. Something to 'provide opportunities' to your kind.

[09.02.2022 16:57:56] Vatan: "Yet this knowledge is safeguarded by the Unknowns."

[09.02.2022 16:58:46] A/)-Revenant: I do not believe his intent is of malicion, at least, not at all for your kind.

[09.02.2022 16:59:05] Vatan: "This Unknownshare heeds not our song. It is without equal. We fear not the intention. We fear the result."

[09.02.2022 16:59:31] A/)-Revenant: And who would you rather control the result?

[09.02.2022 16:59:39] A/)-Revenant: The Order? Liberty?

[09.02.2022 16:59:45] Vatan: "None."

[09.02.2022 17:00:03] A/)-Revenant: It appears that he aware of some inner workings of the "graves" - as Shozak called them.

[09.02.2022 17:00:29] Vatan: "These Ones wish it not to occur at all. Not until such time as the Light is prepared for what is to be unleashed."

[09.02.2022 17:01:23] A/)-Revenant: The consequences are unknown - yet the effects can be controlled. Your kind, will not be harmed by the guardians.

[09.02.2022 17:01:41] A/)-Revenant: To search within - does not mean to release. Merely a means to investigate, I foresee.

[09.02.2022 17:01:42] Vatan: "Yet theirs has."

[09.02.2022 17:02:17] A/)-Revenant: Both of the Tribes know of the guardians, they know how to cleanse themselves of the mark.

[09.02.2022 17:02:45] Vatan: "Such guardians have spat towards those of the Lost. Such occurances of these guardians, these sentinels, came after your-

[09.02.2022 17:02:49] Vatan: deliving and searching."

[09.02.2022 17:03:07] A/)-Revenant: I pondered if the quest was insanity, a delve into darkness. There is some foresight, and understanding. And there is

[09.02.2022 17:03:09] A/)-Revenant: certainly purpose.

[09.02.2022 17:03:19] A/)-Revenant: These guardians - are merely after those who disturb.

[09.02.2022 17:03:31] Vatan: "Yours has disturbed."

[09.02.2022 17:03:33] Vatan: "The Key."

[09.02.2022 17:03:35] Vatan: "The Bird."

[09.02.2022 17:03:38] Vatan: "The Banishers."

[09.02.2022 17:03:44] Vatan: "The Schemer."

[09.02.2022 17:03:45] A/)-Revenant: The K'Hara are fine.

[09.02.2022 17:04:00] A/)-Revenant: Shozak, knows better than to play. He watches, with great amusement, keeping distance.

[09.02.2022 17:04:44] Vatan: "These Ones see not reason to give bond to this song."

[09.02.2022 17:04:46] A/)-Revenant: [Silently, they pondered, tapping the controls. ]

[09.02.2022 17:05:48] Vatan: "Such clashing with the Unknownshare only occured once Yours and the Schemer delived into their Voids."

[09.02.2022 17:05:58] Vatan: "These events are not seperated."

[09.02.2022 17:06:37] A/)-Revenant: The Lost Tribe involved themselves with ... I do not know their reasoning, but it appears they found themselves with fascinatio

[09.02.2022 17:07:00] A/)-Revenant: Shozak, found great amusement. But nevertheless, I do not believe I have seen the Sentinels return to harass others.

[09.02.2022 17:07:19] A/)-Revenant: Only to circle back to investigate their incursion point.

[09.02.2022 17:07:56] Vatan: "The Lost, we know not what their designs are. What their designs in the Void on the edge of the Horizon is."

[09.02.2022 17:08:05] Vatan: "We know not the designs of the Mirrorshare."

[09.02.2022 17:08:09] Vatan: "We know not."

[09.02.2022 17:08:42] A/)-Revenant: I have remained vigilant, to remain observant for any notes or indication of Harbinger potentially holding malice.

[09.02.2022 17:08:53] A/)-Revenant: There has been no cause for such yet.

[09.02.2022 17:09:31] Vatan: "We believe The Bird not a sound mind to sing of such."

[09.02.2022 17:09:41] Vatan: "As such, the bond it has with the Elder."

[09.02.2022 17:09:52] A/)-Revenant: Yet, he does not hold any bonds to the machine.

[09.02.2022 17:09:59] A/)-Revenant: He cannot interface with what I can.

[09.02.2022 17:10:30] Vatan: "We remain unconvinced."

[09.02.2022 17:10:50] A/)-Revenant: Whether you are, or not, remains irrelevant - 

[09.02.2022 17:11:01] A/)-Revenant:  ... For there will always be another, outside of influence.

[09.02.2022 17:11:14] Vatan: "Define."

[09.02.2022 17:13:15] A/)-Revenant: Automative life forms. My assistant.

[09.02.2022 17:16:09] A/)-Revenant: Regardless, the intent was expressed.

[09.02.2022 17:16:42] A/)-Revenant: I would have gladly terminated myself if it meant preventing something terrible.

[09.02.2022 17:17:00] A/)-Revenant: Yet, there is no hint, clue, or key, that suggests such recklessness.

[09.02.2022 17:17:24] Vatan: "Such paths may be chosen for it."

[09.02.2022 17:24:31] Vatan: "We ponder if The Bird desires to sing of other designs."

[09.02.2022 17:25:15] A/)-Revenant: We have discovered those constructs that the Sentinels have left behind.

[09.02.2022 17:25:43] Vatan: "Define these objects and husks."

[09.02.2022 17:25:46] A/)-Revenant: It is uncertain as for what their purpose is, studies have yet to be concluded.

[09.02.2022 17:25:56] A/)-Revenant: Hmm ... A four pointed star structure.

[09.02.2022 17:26:05] A/)-Revenant: Thin - Bioorganic ... Stone - almost.

[09.02.2022 17:26:18] Vatan: "We are familiar with such designs."

[09.02.2022 17:26:18] A/)-Revenant: Mineral dense composit.

[09.02.2022 17:27:00] Vatan: "Such is cast and given to dreams to create. Such are universal in design."

[09.02.2022 17:27:21] A/)-Revenant: Hm. Well. Regardless, these are not the only things appearing.

[09.02.2022 17:27:38] A/)-Revenant: The Vagrants, have found a new home near Gallia. And the Order have begun to surface more and more.

[09.02.2022 17:28:00] A/)-Revenant: Section Eight has resurfaced in Hudson, Kepler, and the Taus.

[09.02.2022 17:28:07] A/)-Revenant: Overwatch - is deploying heavier assets.

[09.02.2022 17:28:32] Vatan: "We've observed the Banishers within the Kepler Voids."

[09.02.2022 17:29:25] Vatan: "This 'home' is unknown to Ours."

[09.02.2022 17:29:26] A/)-Revenant: Worrying, as are their blind ignorance.

[09.02.2022 17:29:46] A/)-Revenant: Overwatch Agents followed the Key through to the pathways.

[09.02.2022 17:30:06] A/)-Revenant: Yet - they were clueless on the other end.

[09.02.2022 17:30:21] A/)-Revenant: Lost. Without thought. Sheer idiocy. They almost destroyed the exit from that place.

[09.02.2022 17:30:45] Vatan: "We put little considerations into the Knowledge of the Banishers."

[09.02.2022 17:31:11] A/)-Revenant: Yet - they are another driving force - whether they know what they are doing or not - far worse unintended consequences may

[09.02.2022 17:31:12] A/)-Revenant: surface.

[09.02.2022 17:31:37] Vatan: "Such is within possibilities, as we have considered."

[09.02.2022 17:32:38] Vatan: "These Ones have not the ability to influence the outcome further than it already has."

[09.02.2022 17:32:58] A/)-Revenant: Unless they get within the anomaly.

[09.02.2022 17:33:16] Vatan: "We are without merit in those voids. We can not act."

[09.02.2022 17:34:17] Vatan: "These Ones, This Light, has no further paths to take involving these events."

[09.02.2022 17:34:38] Vatan: "The Bird, the Key, the Banisher, the Schemer. The Shares. All heed not Our Song."

[09.02.2022 17:35:26] Vatan: "We are without paths. We have put forth attempts, all in vain."

[09.02.2022 17:36:22] Vatan: "These Ones request knowledge on the Lost Home. So we may know of such voids to avoid."

[09.02.2022 17:36:51] A/)-Revenant: Melia is nearby, inquire for a safer path. My knowledge will only endanger you, too close to hostiles.

[09.02.2022 17:37:16] A/)-Revenant: The Sentinels - although without communication - certainly possess problem solving.

[09.02.2022 17:37:36] A/)-Revenant: You believe that this Journey should not be taken?

[09.02.2022 17:37:52] A/)-Revenant: Shall I perhaps attempt to find Harbinger - so that you may attempt to communicate with him?

[09.02.2022 17:38:16] Vatan: "We have discussed. We have shared our ponderings of the Journey."

[09.02.2022 17:38:46] Vatan: "These Ones understand little reason for the Elder to commune with Ours."

[09.02.2022 17:39:16] Vatan: "It will use Ours, or cast Ours away."

[09.02.2022 17:39:36] A/)-Revenant: I have doubts that they would. Perhaps you could ask the Vagrants to accompany you for protection?

[09.02.2022 17:40:05] Vatan: "The Bird has not heeded our Song."

[09.02.2022 17:40:26] A/)-Revenant: And you did not heed mine. Seek perspectives, do not ensnare yourself into a singular dimension.

[09.02.2022 17:40:42] A/)-Revenant: Perhaps this Journey is madness. Perhaps it is not. Speak to him, evaluate your own understanding.

[09.02.2022 17:41:30] A/)-Revenant: As you said, I am ""merely but a puppet of him"" - *teasingly* Perhaps it is futile to speak to me then.

[09.02.2022 17:42:13] Vatan: "The Bird requested. We came to heed such call out of respect."

[09.02.2022 17:42:26] A/)-Revenant: I understand. And I apologise, if you believe this has wasted your time.

[09.02.2022 17:42:50] Vatan: "The cycles remain as they are."

[09.02.2022 17:43:25] Vatan: "We shall agree to commune with the Elder if it desires only such exchange of songs."

[09.02.2022 17:43:41] Vatan: "It it requires more, it shall not occur."

[09.02.2022 17:45:19] A/)-Revenant: I will do what I can to try and reach out.

[09.02.2022 17:45:49] Vatan: "We shall observe until such time The Bird "Reaches Out"."

[09.02.2022 17:46:29] A/)-Revenant: I wonder if I could prod the little sleeping -- ...
