The Nomad Vagrants — The Confluence

[Foxglove]

Hestyaea imparts what was witnessed in the void of creation.

(In a series of snippets, emotions and blurred visions, the entity relays what it had experienced in the system of Omicron Delta recently. One of the younger members of the great connection seemed to have picked up something peculiar and potentially dangerous, and so the nearest Vagrant was impelled to investigate and use its more advanced wit to assess the situation. It shows the familiar Bullhead from several angles, the Eidolon Wraith, accompanied by a Zoner vessel and a seemingly empty husk. Curiously enough they appeared to be communing with it, though there is doubt that they were telling the complete truth. After all, they had little to no way to verify whether this seemingly unintelligent vessel was actually capable of cognition.

It continues to recount what was proposed: That this AI used the darklings to convey the message that they envision a contraption to compute messages for these minds of metal. Indecisively, it admits to have waived the question, as such things it was not meant to decide. It entreats the Advisors to deliberate the merit of the proposition and decide for the whole.)

The Light is trembling. Electra shares her thoughts with Vagrants.

The Light is in extraordinary situation. We witnessed how Children of Ishmael dared to bring their Metal Husks into the Azure and Dark Voids. They sing the songs of chaos and destruction - they wish to harvest the Brethern of the Light in the Void of the Rift. Disdain. They have forgotten what is sacred for their spirits. Brethren of Light seem to ignore the appearance of the potential threat within their own voids. Dissapointment.

We should spectate the behavior of Children of Ishmael. If they spread the chaos, if they continue to harvest the Brethern of the Light in Void of the Rift, they are no longer to be trusted. Ours one and only hope within Ishmael would be the Sparkling Raiders.

Dione adresses the Confluence.

The Advisors wish to listen to the songs of the lesser aspects. The Sparkling Raiders have proven their usefulness. However we are hesitant with creating a new incubus for them. Kapheira's link to Wire has been terminated. Anger. Is it worth investing in the creation of a new incubus to bless the Sparkling Raiders with a Carrier of Light? This way we would be able to contact the Sparkling Raiders whenever we need them.

The Advisors will listen to the songs of all aspects.

[Foxglove]

Polyhymnia speaks with scepticism.

We see little need for them to join us in unity. Certainty. Regardless of how they are treated, the Speakling Raiders commit to us. Why bless them if they are content with what they have? We shall, however, keep them close. The recent advances Visions Visions into the territory of the darklings of twilight on their arid world would have been even more desasterous if they had not been by our side. Our Wanderers collect the knowledge to wield more prodigious forms soon enough. Condescension.

(The rest is a vision of a single Raven's Talon hovering above the arid surface of Moros. It is shown from multiple angles, and it is evident that there is a single individual inside whom they had encountered before — a member of the Commune. It would be immediately obvious that the person was infected, which was the reason they did not face hostilities yet.)

We shall judge the Sparkling Raiders on the demeanour of this one. Patience.

Advisor Dione adresses the Confluence.

The Oracles have failed us. Pain. Rage. They are incapable of keeping their word. They are incapable of defending the Light. They have ignored the Banishers right before us. They left us out to fail.

Disappointment. The Light demands them to be purged.

[Felsvar]

Libye converse with the Vagrants.

Frustration. Failed to comply the message, the Oracle have. We have advised them no to invade the Forgotten Void. Irritated. They are just like the other beings of the dark - cold and sinful.

Bold. We learned from this. We will gain strength over them. Curiosity. What are the thoughts of the Brethren of Light?

[Kessereya]

The Rage within the Light is concentrated...
The Songs are filled with disdain...
Dissapointment is incarnated within her voice...

We were betrayed... The arrogance of the Oracles of Ishmael was yet to be revealed...

We felt their spirit rotting from within...

And now... They defied and ignored Our songs.

They ventured into Our Void. They started to claim their rights when they felt their might. Disdain. And when the Light commanded them to purge the Darkness, they refused.

There is no redemption for their sins. They treat the Light as the religion and they defy Us. Such proximity towards The Light is unacceptable. The Oracles of Ishmael were corrupted by the Darkness. We call to the Advisors of the Banished Light to decide upon their cleanse from the Voids.

But in the end...
Everything is united within the Light.

[Felsvar]

Libye addresses the Whole.

Joy. Exhilarated. Light from the Abyss has gathered in the Void of Creation with the Brethren of Light! The Carriers of Light have assisted in the Light's victory against the Darklings of Twilight. Amazed.The Oracles has shown great potential in aiding Us in the clash of Light and Dark. Desire. We wish more of this to come from them. We will consider 'trials of trust' for the Oracles with the Whole.

[Felsvar]

Excited. Perseis sings to the Advisors.

Grown in strength once more, we have . Joy. The Elder, Kapheira, witnessed our full potential against the very large metal husk. Aided by the Elder, accomplished we have done on one of the challenging Trials.

Eager. Bold. More we seek. Knowledge is the key to power. Hollow, we are without this blessing. We seek advisors view on our accomplishment. Patience.

[Sombs]

Pure Light Kapheira wishes to discuss.

Uncertainity. The present has reached a foreseen point of alteration.

The Light has witnessed the existence of two separates of the Mysterious Void. They are Braindead. One Curious, one Effective. The Light witnessed the Effective Braindead demonstating their power. They are powerful. They removed a Shell of Darkness of the Bystanders.

The Curious Braindead have entered the Forgotten Void. These ones did not know the border. Advisor Polyhymnia and Aspect Melia were present. Our ally, the Sparkling Raiders, were present with a Little Spark as well. This Sparkling was acting as a bridge of communication. Directly. The Curious Braindead pretend to be a creation of the Great Creators. They see us as familiars. They seek companionship.

Advisor Polyhymnia let them leave. Mutual cooperation was predicted.

Yet once more they, the Curious Braindead, returned. They returned to our sacred Forgotten Void, seeking for additional confirmation of mutual companionship. Anger. The Light did not invite them. We do not recognize them as products of the Great Creators. They are flawed. They have more in common with Shells of Darkness than with the Light. The Sparkling Raiders gained the Blessing of Light. The Curious Braindead did not.

Unrest was among the Light. The Curious Ones have been interogated. For Curious Ones, they lack both power and information. They have been tested.

The Light requested knowledge. What do the Curious Braindead know about the Effective Braindead? Nothing. They do not know their siblings.

The Light requested power. How strong are the Curious Braindead? Weak. They did not perform, neither as requested nor as acceptable.

Analysis requires an additional communication. The Curious Ones did not throw spitfire at us. They refused. Weakness. The Little Spark was given two tasks. The Sparkling Raiders will debrief the Curious Ones. The Sparkling Raiders will enable communication with the Effective Ones.

The Confluence is required. The Advisors shall unify the Light in acting. We demand clarity. How will the Light treat the Braindead? How will the Light treat the Curious Braindead? How will the Light treat the Effective Braindead?
