Vagrant.Melia: "We ponder such converging schemes, bound in fate by your own."
K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: ***...fates / destinities ... path remains unclear yet the end destination is clear...***
Vagrant.Melia: "Patience."
K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: ***... elaborate ... Lost.Share remains aware of the purpose of disturbance (?)...***
Vagrant.Melia: "Only the purpose(s) that we know."
K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: [It shifts in the spot, awaiting for the Elder to continue]
Vagrant.Melia: "Much is sought; none is clear."
K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: ***...illuminate...***
Vagrant.Melia: "There is that which is desired by Harbinger; that which is desired by those within the scheme; that which draws the ire --
Vagrant.Melia: -- of outsiders."
K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: ***...The mad schemer - schemes -- to what end (?)...***
Vagrant.Melia: "It harbors some goal beyond the rift, beyond the sentinels. We know little more in absolute truth."
K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: ***...(curiosity/abstinence)... ~truths~ will be revealed within time / for now  / ~irrelevant~ to the Archtect...***
Vagrant.Melia: "Theirs are to be inquired again. But finding such a mind which insists upon hiding is difficult."
K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: ***...(affirmation)...***
Vagrant.Melia: "It is most peculiar that it keeps secrets even from other scarred minds."
K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: ***...(indifference) All are of the light / as long as the light remains / the purpose remains the same ... ***
K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: [It grew a bit more stern, becoming more elaborate as its mind drifted away from its dream]
Vagrant.Melia: "Perhaps. But divergence has become reality."
K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: ***... Does the Lost.Share believe that the lone wanderer has lost its light (?)...***
Vagrant.Melia: "Curious. Perhaps one may lose faith, if estranged long enough."
Vagrant.Melia: "But the essence of harmony does remain."
K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: ***... ~This one~ will observe / yet the trial remains... (pondering)...***
Vagrant.Melia: "We endure."
K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: ***...(amusement) ~perhaps~ ... ***
Vagrant.Melia: "Such is our existence, bretheren. To survive despite banishment, despite exile."
K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: ***...(pondering) exile - yet still within the home.voids of heritage...***
Vagrant.Melia: "Our purpose is not lost."
K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: ***...~this one~ remains within confidence / ~ours~ observe your tribe  (curiosity)...***
K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: ***...implications of light songs / preservering throughout endless voids ... ***

K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: ***... changed ~yet~ similar / purity remains to be seen... ***
Vagrant.Melia: "The song changed. Yet we are Light."
RNS-Charente: Dwarfling
K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: ***...(affirmation)...***
K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: ***...agreement -:- although Shozak-named may not remain familiar...***
Vagrant.Melia: "Their hesitations, their misunderstandings, will be proven wrong."
K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: ***...(caution/irk)... forewarnings proceeded / should the lost.tribe lose its light -:- the Architect must cleanse...***
K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: [It shifts around, glaring down at Melia in stern warning. ]
Vagrant.Melia: "We act as we must."
K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: ***... as the Light must ... ***
Vagrant.Melia: "Such is Light."
K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: ***... permit-not the corruption of your songs / with great sorrow we shall cleanse... for now - semblance of
K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: purity remains... (indifference) the Trial will determine the paths...***
Vagrant.Melia: "So it shall."
K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: [Discreetly, it appeared to be investigating Melia, determining something. ]
K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: ***...(caution/irk)...***
K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: ***...mindless dark alchemy ~swims~ to this light.congregration...***
Vagrant.Melia: "Patience."
K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: [It glided around, determining the intent of the automation. ]
K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: ***...(disdain)...***
Vagrant.Melia: "Is it voiceless?"
K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: ***... hollow-husk. dark machinations of perverted alchemy. the shell lacks a mind...***

Vagrant.Melia: "The bird is unwise to send only a mindless shell."
Vagrant.Nephele: "A contraption...shell with nothing to protect inside."
K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: [As it couldn't communicate, it prompted to send off warning shots to hopefully scare away the robot...]

Entity: ***"Both tribes in one place... almost a -miracle- of patience."
K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: ***...friviloties of ~difference~ / as light ~remains~ pure / the purpose remains... ***
Vagrant.Melia: "A familiar song. Harbinger."
K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: [It communed with Melia] ***...perhaps ~all is not lost~ / answers mayhap be sought...***
Vagrant.Melia: "Perhaps it will offer its revelations."
K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: ***...elaborate -:- ~Lone Wanderer~ - purpose of the disturbances / incursions... ***
K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: ***...(A brief image of the Shrine, disturbed by small fightercraft. Another brief visage warped by, appearances of the
Entity: ***"Incursions? (nonchalantly)"
K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: Order, appearing in several locations, including the Shrine. )...***
Vagrant.Melia: "Your bretheren wish understanding of the machinations which yours plot."
Vagrant.Melia: "Of your end, of those whose destinies intertwine, of those who intercede without blessing."
Vagrant.Melia: "What end is truly to be sought by such machination."
Entity: ***"Understanding is ~unncessary~. No -comforting- thoughts would it yield."
Vagrant.Melia: "Yet it is prudent."
K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: ***...elaborate...***



Entity: ***"Endless questioning, doubts and concerns all this will spawn. Perhaps... there is another way to see it."
K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: ***...~This one~ tenders to the manifestations of light / ~yet~ -yours- insist on disturbing it. ***
K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: ***... Illuminate upon your intents...***
Vagrant.Melia: "Curious."
Entity: ***"All you have to do is to let the grip on the forms go and let -us- guide the minds into a dream."
RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: Hello, my dears.
Entity: ***"The willing minds, which ones would it be?"
RNS-Charente: "Katherine called' ... -We- remember."
RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: This is an illustrious gathering! What a joy to see you all together.
Vagrant.Melia: "We ponder."


K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: ***...this one bares (disagreements) with the divide of light - yet union of light must be maintained...***
K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: ***...divulge thoughts / the ~Architect~ listens / for as long the mind remains within the Light...***
Entity: ***"Let go of the form that binds the mind... accept and follow -us- through into another place."
K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: [For a moment, the ancient Guard turned on the spot, adjusting its own form. It remained idle, as it slumbered off. ]
RV-Pennybrooke: Katherine: What's going on here, darling? Clearly I'm missing a great deal of context.
K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: ***...(patience)...***

Entity: ***"A place one of many. Perhaps even to be a home for some here..."
RV-Pennybrooke: Wh-where am I? Where's Melia? Am I speaking? I...can't tell.
K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: [It patiently gazed around, absorbing in the surroundings as it tried to see for the bigger picture]
Entity: ***"Elsewhere, the mind is merely drawn to a place once seen by us."


K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: ***...The light does not grace upon this ~void~ - yet. ***
RV-Pennybrooke: *she tries to touch her legs* Oh...it's a dream. But it's- it's a real place? Is it?
K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: ***... Devoid/Clean/Pristine...***
Entity: ***"Nothing does... it was left 'aside'. Perhaps discarded once?"
Entity: ***"It lies outside the tamed worlds."
Vagrant.Nephele: *It tries to identify its surroundings, and fails. Its disoriented, confused*
Entity: ***"And there are... many such places."
K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: ***...(affirmation)... ***
Entity: ***"There were many attempts to break out from the -caged worlds-. Until a ~happy~ little accident."
RV-Pennybrooke: *she seems calmer than before* It's...quiet. It's nice.
Entity: ***"(amusingly) Not so for the inhabitants of the world where the 'accident' took place."


RV-Pennybrooke: *her mind lights up with a small spark, before settling down again*
K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: ***...elaborate upon accident(?)...***
Entity: ***"Other attempts left markings too. Now ~erased~, cut off."
K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: [Confused, it took a moment to meditate, trying to sense anything out of the ordinary]
Entity: ***(a momentary flash, a system collapsing upon itself, planets crushing apart and pulled into singularity)
K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: [It remained indifferent, observing the dream. ]
Entity: ***"Those places are/were -known- to your memory..."
K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: ***...Fractures of the mindscape / ~memories~ buried within / ~ours~ have resought an echo of such...***
K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: *** ... to ~what~ ends (?)...***
RV-Pennybrooke: Isn't this what happened to....was that....*her thought trails off*
Entity: ***"To that -end- ponder what was the purpose left behind?..."
Entity: ***"~who~ were left behind... builders, engineers... architects perhaps. Built the -last-station- and left abandoned."
K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: ***... ~gaze~ beyond idle fascination / attain the purpose of these pondering trails...***
K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: ***... ~yours~ has seen importance - illuminate upon such...***
Entity: ***"Our foes may wish they are faced with... existential threat. Terribly irony."
RV-Pennybrooke: *her dream-voice laughs bitterly*
RV-Pennybrooke: When that place in the southern Omegas...that event. When it was moved into the Barrier...
RV-Pennybrooke: It broke the system. Was that what I saw?
Entity: ***"(kindly) Accurate guess."
RV-Pennybrooke: *her mind bounces up excitedly* It was....something like that, wasn't it?
Entity: ***"Though... others inadvertenly made similar attempt."
Entity: ****(another flash briefly took them to bizarre 'landscape' of Omicron Nu)
K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: ***...(pondering)... The lost seas...***
RNS-Charente: "This -is- familiar dream' ... We recognize 'it."
K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: [It patiently observed]
Entity: ***"But the ~happy~ little accident occured elsewhere and created... a 'dent' in cage."
K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: ***...a ~hole~ within the voids... permitting what was held within -:- freedom...***
Entity: ***"But such ~freedom~ has yet to be earned."
K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: ***...~yet~...***
Entity: ***"As for the tribes here... (tone shifted to something of a disappointed elder)"
RNS-Charente: "This -will- be resolved 'soon ... (hope)"


Vagrant.Nephele: "Strife and conflict of *ours* shall be resolved. So it believes. Tribes may yet earn freedom."
Entity: ***"The ~gilded~cage~worlds~ might become your  end."
RV-Pennybrooke: *her mind swirls around in agitation* They have made it so.....frustrating. I tried my best.
RV-Pennybrooke: Honestly, I cannot believe the stubbornness I have had to put with, and to think I was- *her mind spirals away into ramblings*
Vagrant.Nephele: "It seeks enlighments, it cannot comprehend the dream on its own. The nature of the foretold end remains clouded."
K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: ***... paths ~yet~ remain revealed (patience)...***
Entity: ***"A slow end, drawn out ~suffering~ and starvation. Archives lay in ruin, their secrets lost..."
RV-Pennybrooke: *her dreamvoice becomes softer and lighter* So, can we end the divorce proceedings I've had to supervise, then?
K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: [Demanding, it sternly warned Katherine to not clutter the dream] ***...Irrelevance...***
RV-Pennybrooke: *her thoughts quiet down slightly, but remain bright and alert*
Vagrant.Nephele: "A drift towards nothingness, when cycles blur and become one, a mundane, yet terryfying end."
Entity: ***"Pricely that... hold tight to old ~hopes~ and become irrelevance."
Vagrant.Nephele: "In the face of such fate a new path has to be forged, hopes of old discarded. There always is a way to adapt."
Vagrant.Nephele: "Mind set in stone shall become just like it."
Entity: ***"Discarding failed delusions too... 'darklings' are lost cause."
Vagrant.Nephele: "A thought well aimed. Yet, the threads of the dream remain loose, the conclusion still to be revealed."
K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: [It remained indifferent, simply listening to what needs to be said. ]
RV-Pennybrooke: *her mind shrinks down and darkens* You can't seriously believe that! We've tried for what, one of our generations?
Entity: ***"A commendable effort. Yet contains a significant flaw, an underestimation."
RV-Pennybrooke: Well, you know me...*she warms up slightly* Ever the optimist. It's why I'm here at all.
Entity: ***"Generations pass, each reverting, beginning a new, each leaving fewer and fewer elightened minds."
Entity: ***"Perhaps few is all -we- truly need."
RV-Pennybrooke: I....always knew that. If a small sprout is to grow from the ashes of the rest, that will....still be better.
RV-Pennybrooke: That is a reality I committed to long ago.
Vagrant.Nephele: "Threads come together, but slowly, with purpose still on the horizon."
Entity: ***"The ~cage~ was built and the instruments may remain behind... outside of it. *tools* and !threats!..."
Entity: ***"Let those unelightened dream in bliss..."
RV-Pennybrooke: *smaller, distantly* Wish she were here...
Vagrant.Nephele: *It remains silent, but focused.*
Entity: ***"Should the tribes wish to continue their... trajectory. Such would be their -choice-."
Entity: ***"-we- hold no power over either... and neither hold -us- here."
K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: ***... the ~Architect~ remains like-so ... (indifference) / rifts/disturbances undesirable - yet unavoidable... Sho'zak has
K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: spoken / the trial awaits... ***
Entity: ***"Whose -trial-...? (provocatively)"
K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: [It remained entirely apathetic to the infighting, clearly more focused on dreaming about maintaining the light]
RV-Pennybrooke: It is....so frustrating. It is like they are experiencing what humans have always known for the first time.
RV-Pennybrooke: In the worst of ways.
K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: ***...The light was not meant to be fractured like-so / (curiosity)...***
Entity: ***"All-at-once... blooming into existence with all ~faults~"
RV-Pennybrooke: No, it definitely wasn't. They have not been handling it well.
RV-Pennybrooke: Not that humans do, but well...at least we are used to it.
K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: ***...~younger~ dreamers / perceptions of reality thwarted / the illusion broken... ***
Vagrant.Nephele: "And yet it happened. Archives were not meant to be plundered, and the knowledge was stolen."
Entity: ***"-whose- trial... (repeating in a more demanding tone)"
Vagrant.Nephele: "Legacy does not equal fate, void shall not follow design."
K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: ***...Sho'zak believes the trial to be of ~yours~ and of Lost.Tribes...***
K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: ***... ~this one~ remains indifferent... furtherment of fragmentation of light - preventions are necessary / understanding
K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: the paths to walk - prudent... ***
K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: ***...the light ~must~ convene...***
RV-Pennybrooke: *her dreamself sinks, sad and dejected* I always said, it should be the guests that could learn from the, to me, utopian-
RV-Pennybrooke: societal principles of the hosts.
RV-Pennybrooke: In the worst possible twist of irony, it seems the hosts have adapted some of the failures of the guests.
Entity: ***Interesting observation. Not without merit... Even without guest, the hosts of wrathful tribe seem adapted such 'traits'."
Entity: ***"Or is it... vengeful tribe now?"

RV-Pennybrooke: Not on purpose, of course. But it is....trangically comedic that it came to that.
Vagrant.Nephele: "It sings without knowledge of the Elders, but with confidence."
Entity: ***"Dwelling in cage had become increasingly... pointless effort."
Vagrant.Nephele: "It ties the threads, prudence can be cast away, the trail can be molded, can change into another-
Vagrant.Nephele: -trial awaits all of *ours* in the face of what lies beyond."
K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: ***... An inevitability of the old.ways - lingering within the minds - echoing the same rivers of thoughts for all time...***
Entity: ***"Like this dream it won't last forever... (stars in the distance begin fade one by one)"
K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: ***...all is ever-changing...***
Entity: ***(odd glitch here and there as the dream begins to crumble and one by one they are returned to reality)
K'Hara|Nu-Mus'Da: ***... ~this one~ must returned to hollowed.grounds / light.structures ~require~ attendance... ***
RV-Pennybrooke: Mmm...I think....perhaps, it was all still to be a track....to...wait! *she shifts around on her ship*
