THREE ❢ VIDEO
What a nice welcome after such a long time away. You creatures never disappoint with how angry you get.
[Rage is back, back again. Go ahead, tell a friend. She's giving a nonchalant smile that doesn't quite reach her eyes -- it's hard to be pleased about being well fed when you've just spent six months scouting in enemy territory.
In fact, her face goes to neutral as she picks up again.]
First things first: We don't know for certain how the Null were able to find us, but we did discover at least part of the problem: there's a mole in the cave.
[Her voice goes cold when she makes the statement, and it pretty much stays that way for the rest of this post. Also, no, she wasn't trying to make a pun or a clever reference to the city being underground.]
This is the only way for the Null to consistently be able to chase us through space. [And not just because Fear sucks.] Hope and Sorrow's investigation should turn up more information about that. Would that you'd all voted for me, but like my brethren, I'll defer to your decision.
Second, it would seem your strangely shaped bodies have inspired our pursuers. We found them experimenting with bipedal robotic bodies that move the way you do. By the way, that doesn't exactly help anyone's case here. Clearly, they're finding you useful to a large extent.
[She's suspicious as hell, in effect.]
Finally, the Null's objectives have changed. They've constructed prisons capable of containing us no matter the form we take, and not only that, but they'll be able to use us to power their operations. I know some of you will see this as justice, but before you jump to such a predictable conclusion, consider this: our interference aside, the power my siblings and I gain from you is used to keep you alive and comfortable. We're able to coexist. What the Null want is our absolute confinement for their selfish purposes. Think for a moment about what that means. You all seem to like Delight. How would you feel if someone locked her up in a small space to do whatever they want with her?
[She's angrier now, more emotion in her voice and face. The silence after that question is short, but it's long enough for her anger to cool again.]
The mission was too dangerous for us to obtain more information than that. Given we're actively being betrayed by someone here, I wasn't inclined to share any of this with you, but I suppose it isn't fair to leave all of you in the dark because of one person or small alliance's actions.
[She leaned much more heavily towards not wanting to tell the residents, but Delight would tell them, and Rage is the last person who wants to disappoint Delight at all.]
Consider this a gesture of goodwill.
[With that flat, clipped sentence, she cuts the feed.]

ur here bruh that's what matters | video;
You are emotional creatures, but you don't cause other beings to feel emotions. Not the way we do. That's why they see us as infectious.
[Rage shakes her head.] No. None of us wants this. Tranquility may have wanted to talk to them, but not to betray us. He wouldn't have proposed his idea if the point were betrayal.
n'aw. <3
However--]
My reference to our emotions was not intended to draw similarities between your people and ourselves. Merely to point out that as emotional creatures we may be viewed as too unreliable in matters of sustained subterfuge by a race which does not appear to find value in them. [Unless he's mistaken about the Null on that count... but he doesn't think he is.]
I can understand why you would believe one of us would be behind it. [Ignis presses his lips together for a moment, then pulls in a quick breath.]
I suggested to Hope that they may be following the Door.
video
[Just sayin.]
And what did Hope say?
video
[Just sayin', but he'll let it drop, because he has no wish to spend time arguing it around in circles.]
Hope seemed to believe it to be a viable possible explanation. They would need no knowledge of the Door, or its operation - only an awareness of whatever signal or energy it gives off, should it do such a thing.
video
Ultimately, Sorrow is the one who knows most about the Door, but I agree with Hope. Still, the Door couldn't have given them enough for them to predict where we'd go next.
video
[Ignis will admit to that. What he suggested wouldn't allow for the Null to find them ahead of time.]
An incident like that may have been unrelated.
