| |
| Venat: | |
| * At present, the strongest link we have to the Final Days is the power of dynamis...and the entelechies which can control it.
| |
| * Yet most scholars are only vaguely aware of these terms, let alone study them in any depth. Except for Hermes, it seems.
| |
| * Thus I am inclined to stay our current course, and learn all we can about the chief overseer and his familiar.
| |
| * And on that subject, was there aught else of note you can tell me about Meteion? Aside from her unorthodox method of communication?
| |
| * ...I rather wish you had mentioned that earlier. In any event, would you care to elaborate?
| |
| * So these siblings of hers now travel the great expanse in search of deeper meaning...
| |
| * Thank you. Though the mystery at hand remains unresolved, I feel you've touched upon a vital clue─one we should keep in mind as we continue.
| |
| * Next, I propose we take ourselves to Peripeteia Krystalline, not far from here. Just follow the path to the west.
| |
| * This tower and the one further along are both part of Peripeteia Krystalline, the facility where they archive all of Elpis's observational and testing records.
| |
| * Despite how they appear from the outside, the interior is actually a vast area of magically interconnected spaces, which...while fascinating, is not the reason we are here, is it?
| |
| * I shall cut my architectural lesson short, and see what those two archivists have to share.
| |
| * If you could find someone to speak with over at the other tower, I shall join you there anon.
| |
| | |
| Peripeteia Archivist:
| |
| * You have questions for me? Certainly! Just a moment while I conclude my current appointment...
| |
| * ...Indeed. So if you could provide a comprehensive log of those behaviors, we should then have sufficient data for our official records.
| |
| * Now, what was it you wished to speak with me about?
| |
| * ...The chief overseer's “personal research project”? And by that, I assume you mean Meteion?
| |
| * Such undocumented studies are difficult to track. After all, hardly a day goes past without seeing a researcher trailed by one creation or another...
| |
| * I'm afraid I cannot tell you exactly when Meteion appeared. Only that she now spends much of her time at Chief Hermes's side.
| |
| * Although... I do recall an interesting tale my dearest Galene shared with me...
| |
| * ...Ah. Galene is my partner, and a fellow researcher here in Elpis.
| |
| * She was returning late one night when she caught sight of Chief Hermes sending Meteion heavensward. A host of them.
| |
| * For several days, she would speak of that scene with wonder, describing it as one of the most beautiful spectacles she had ever witnessed.
| |
| | |
| Venat:
| |
| * That sounds like a story I should like to hear.
| |
| | |
| Peripeteia Archivist:
| |
| * Mistress Venat! I thought you had already returned to the surface!
| |
| * Permit me to thank you again for your invaluable contribution to our concept placement proposal.
| |
| | |
| Venat:
| |
| * Pray do not mention it. As you say, my original plan was to leave after that task, but I have since become engrossed with Chief Hermes's research.
| |
| * Would you favor me with a retelling of this sight which so delighted your Galene?
| |
| | |
| Peripeteia Archivist:
| |
| * Of course. Or you could hear it from her lips directly, if you prefer?
| |
| * At present, she should be observing a subject in Metabaseos Thalassai.
| |
| * She does enjoy her time there, watching the sea creatures hunt and play; gazing upon the salty waters of the world's oceans, recreated in such sublime detail.
| |
| * I imagine you must find similar joy in indulging your boundless curiosity, Mistress Venat...
| |
| * Even though such pursuits must continually and regretfully delay your return to the star.
| |
| | |
| Venat:
| |
| * ...Indeed they do.
| |
| | |
| Peripeteia Archivist:
| |
| * 'Tis a rest well deserved and long overdue, I should think. How greatly have we prospered for the wisdom you accumulated during your travels as Azem.
| |
| * And what would Elpis be without your earlier academic work? The theories you developed served as the basis of many techniques still in use today.
| |
| * Man is a creature of contemplation, but none embody that nature with as much enduring passion as you! Aye, I daresay there is not a soul alive more worthy of a return. I shall rejoice the day you depart on your final journey.
| |
| | |
| Venat:
| |
| * ...I will be honored.
| |
| * Well, shall we take this opportunity to meet with Galene in person?
| |
| | |
| Peripeteia Archivist:
| |
| * Then allow me to reconfigure the door to the archives here.
| |
| * It will take you up to the skyway, and spare you the need to avoid hostile concepts on the ground.
| |
| | |
| Venat:
| |
| * That would be most helpful, thank you.
| |
| | |
| Peripeteia Archivist:
| |
| * I have opened the path to the skyway.
| |
| * Once you pass through the door, simply walk straight across to the next tower and ask for admittance to the upper tier.
| |
| * Upon arriving at the upper tier, walk straight across the skyway, and you will find yourself at the entrance to Metabaseos Thalassai.
| |
| * Galene will be eager to share her tale with you, I am sure.
| |
| | |
| Approachable Archivist:
| |
| * Mistress Venat! Just passing through...?
| |
| * Then allow me to prepare the path. If you need further assistance, there is always an observer or two out on the upper skyway.
| |
| | |
| Unhurried Observer:
| |
| * ...Mistress Venat!? I was not told to expect─ We would have prepared an official welcome!
| |
| | |
| Venat:
| |
| * Please, there is no need for fanfare. I only wish to speak with Galene, if that might be arranged...?
| |
| | |
| Unhurried Observer:
| |
| * Yes! Galene! Of course! I will inform her immediately.
| |
| * Ah, but she may be engaged in a testing phase. You could be in for something of a wait... Should I let her know your business is urgent?
| |
| | |
| Venat:
| |
| * That won't be necessary. This lovely view will keep us occupied until she is ready to receive us.
