| Emet-Selch:
| | * Search the area for [[Meteion]]. |
| * Hermes said he would not be long, yes? Then we shall wait here until he emerges... | | * Search for [[Meteion]] beneath [[the Hungering Gardens]]. |
| | * Search for [[Meteion]] north of [[the Hungering Gardens]]. |
| | * Search for [[Meteion]] east of [[the Hungering Gardens]]. |
| | * Speak with [[Hermes]]. |
|
| |
|
| Hermes:
| | ==Journal== |
| * My apologies for keeping you waiting. I understand there is a matter you wish to discuss. | | *Emet-Selch seems content to stay where he is. |
| | |
| Emet-Selch: | |
| * Aye, a matter of the utmost gravity...if one can suspend disbelief.
| |
| * Go on, then. Tell him what you told us. Who you are and why you came.
| |
| | |
| Hermes:
| |
| * The Final Days...
| |
| | |
| Venat:
| |
| * The phenomena observed during these star-encompassing calamities is likely the product of a dynamis reaction.
| |
| * And none is more versed in the applications of this energy than you, Hermes.
| |
| * I must stress that we do not believe you would desire such destruction. We come not to lodge accusations, but to beg your wisdom.
| |
| * And so, distressing though the exercise may be, I ask that you share with us your opinion on the matter─on the assumption that our visitor's tale is true.
| |
| | |
| Hermes:
| |
| * Even you, Venat...
| |
| * As you say, the phenomena observed in the two calamities may both be attributed to dynamis.
| |
| * Of note is the difference in its effect. In the first Final Days, it warped creation magicks. In the second, it warped the people themselves.
| |
| * The key variable, I suspect, is the aetheric density of the men of each age.
| |
| * As you know, aether, in essence, negates dynamis.
| |
| * Harboring high concentrations of aether, we ancients cannot readily manipulate dynamis─nor be manipulated by it. Therefore, rather than our selves, the calamity affected our magicks.
| |
| * In contrast, having been sundered, the people of the future are composed of but a fraction of our aether.
| |
| * Thus are they susceptible to the influence of dynamis─and its transformative potential.
| |
| * But that would explain only the mechanism, not the cause... Though perhaps...
| |
| | |
| Emet-Selch:
| |
| * What is it? Even should it be a hypothesis, we would hear it.
| |
| | |
| Hermes:
| |
| * Dynamis is an energy put in motion by feelings. Feelings for which there must first exist a source.
| |
| * A source to which the victims must be attuned─one that harbors the selfsame negative emotions. Elsewise, it could not be the agent of such extreme change.
| |
| | |
| Venat:
| |
| * So it wasn't the stagnation of the celestial currents...
| |
| * Someone─or something─is instigating the star's demise.
| |
| | |
| Emet-Selch:
| |
| * So we've a villain on our hands after all... Any idea who or what it could be?
| |
| | |
| Hermes:
| |
| * The celestial currents comprise the outermost layer of the star's aether, encasing it like a protective sphere.
| |
| * According to your tale, 'twas where the currents were weakest that the phenomena first manifested.
| |
| * If the inciting factor came from without Etheirys, then its effects would first be seen in those locations.
| |
| | |
| Meteion:
| |
| * Greetings. Can you hear me?
| |
| * Do not be alarmed ─ I mean you no harm.
| |
| * I wish only to hear your words. Share your feelings. Know your thoughts.
| |
| * May we please...be friends?
| |
| | |
| Hermes:
| |
| * Meteion? What is it?
| |
| | |
| Meteion:
| |
| * Executing scheduled task. Suspending individual self and connecting to shared consciousness.
| |
| * Connection established. Commencing status report.
| |
| * Ah! Ahhh! Ahhhhhh!
| |
| * It hurts, it hurts! It hurts!
| |
| * So hot...so cold...so sad... I don't understand... Make it stop... Please, make it stop...
| |
| | |
| Hermes:
| |
| * Steady, Meteion! Steady!
| |
| | |
| Meteion:
| |
| * So scared...so lonely... The pain...it's too much...
| |
| * Why...why...why do we...they...hurt...hurt...hate...HATE!
| |
| * This is wrong! All wrong!
| |
| | |
| Emet-Selch:
| |
| * She's...gone? But how?
| |
| | |
| Hermes:
| |
| * She has altered her aetheric density in order to blend in with her surroundings. An ability for avoiding confrontation.
| |
| | |
| Hythlodaeus:
| |
| * Most effective...frustratingly so. I can't see her either─not even a trace.
| |
| | |
| Meteion:
| |
| * Stay away. Please. This is wrong. My mistake. So please...
| |
| | |
| Venat:
| |
| * Are you all right?
| |
| * ...In your mind? No, we only heard her speak the instant before she vanished.
| |
| | |
| Hermes:
| |
| * Of course. When communicating without words, Meteion also employs dynamis.
| |
| * That would explain why you were able to hear her when we could not.
| |
| | |
| Emet-Selch:
| |
| * Then you are our best chance of finding her. Follow her voice, and try to track her down.
| |
| * Hindered though we may be, let us split up and search as well.
| |
| | |
| Meteion:
| |
| * It seeps...into my mind... Our voices... Reporting...
| |
| * No, no! Hermes mustn't hear them! I have to run...to hide...
| |
| | |
| ???:
| |
| * Greetings...and salutations...
| |
| | |
| Meteion:
| |
| * Commencing report...
| |
| * Oh...oh no, we can't tell them that! We must run... Run far away!
| |
| * Please... Don't follow me...
| |
| * How...? How did it come to this...?
| |
| * Is this the reason we traveled to the stars? Why we sought out other life-forms?
| |
| * Is this it? Is this the answer!? No, it cannot be...it cannot be!
| |
| | |
| ???:
| |
| * Compiling report for dissemination to Hermes and all peoples of Etheirys...
| |
| | |
| Meteion:
| |
| * Processing expedition data... Preparing profiles on intelligent civilizations...
| |
| * Formulating answers to the question...
| |
| * Finalizing report...
| |
| * No, Player... You mustn't listen!
| |
| * It's wrong...it's all wrong...
| |
| | |
| Emet-Selch:
| |
| * Any sign of Meteion?
| |
| * Panicked and confused... Which will make it all the more difficult to predict her movements.
| |
| | |
| Venat:
| |
| * Hermes. What do you make of this situation?
| |
| | |
| Hermes:
| |
| * The Meteia are linked to a single mind─a shared consciousness which connects them across any distance. I suspect something has happened which disrupted its usual harmony...
| |
| | |
| Venat:
| |
| * How might we access this shared consciousness of theirs?
| |
| | |
| Hermes:
| |
| * Much as you would approach any sentient being: directly.
| |
| * In the Meteia's case, that means speaking to any incarnation within physical reach.
| |
| | |
| Venat:
| |
| * So unless we can track down the Meteion we just lost, we have no means to communicate with them...
| |
| * No way of knowing what befell her sisters; no way to provide directions or guidance.
| |
| | |
| Emet-Selch:
| |
| * Then we had best set our musings aside, and concentrate on how we might find her!
| |
| | |
| Hermes:
| |
| * Oh, my dear Meteion... What did you witness out there that frightened you so?
| |
| * Why do you seek to keep it from us? How terrible could it possibly be...?
