Can someone tell me more about these Null? I gather they are a threat, and that they seem ready to attack, but what are they? Do they have a reason for attacking? I'm used to fighting...if we have to defend ourselves, I'll do what has to be done.

The Null are artificial beings who bear a grudge against the gods. As I understand it, the two races once had close contact with each other. But the gods’ brethren brought out emotions in the Null, and that they could not abide.

So the Null killed the rest of the gods’ race, and the remainder have been in flight ever since.

[resistancemedic]

So they are machines, like I suspected?

It seems I've gone from fighting machines in one world to fighting them in another.

I hope I can be of help...they probably are different than the Terminators and Skynet I fought, but I'm still willing to help stop them if they're threatening us.

[utulien_aure]

It seems as much, yes.

Your enemies may have been different than the Null, but I think you still may have an edge on the rest of us. Anything you can do to help would be accepted gladly.

[ All right, he's got that one. Or, somebody else did, anyway. ]

Hang on, I asked somebody that question a while back, here's what I got:

The Null are machines who aim to annihilate the gods merely because they 'threaten their way of life' by making the Null feel. These eight gods are the last of their kind, and they are hunted.

At some point in the past they attempted to fight the Null. The creatures who once sustained the gods were killed in their entirety. Rage, Delight, Sorrow, Tranquility, Confusion and Love died in that battle. Hope and Fear survived by escaping. Fear then made active the Door, which brought us into this city. Hope proceeded to use us to gain power enough to revive their fallen kin.

We were kept ignorant.

About five months ago the Null almost breached this city, which forced the gods to speak honestly of our perilous circumstances. We narrowly escaped before they broke through. Two months ago the Null posted to the network. The gods knew not. The Null wish to communicate with us alone. They posted a second time in an attempt to entice us into assisting them by killing Hope.

It is only a matter of time until the Null attack again. The Null have no qualms slaughtering us in order to weaken the gods. They said so themselves.

[resistancemedic]

I'll try my best.

Does anyone know what these creatures are like, what sort of form they have?

[resistancemedic]

I will help fight them if I can. It seems they are a threat. They may not be like the machines I have fought, but I can still help as best I can.

What ways do we even have here to defend ourselves?

[utulien_aure]

The gods themselves might know. But they’ve only communicated with us by text.

[radiopalkiller]

Is that even the best idea? Sounds like their main targets would be these gods. We might be better off staying out of their way.

[resistancemedic]

I'll see what happens. But if they start fighting us, I'll do what I have to. I'm sure a lot of us will.

[resistancemedic]

Maybe I'll try sending a text. It does seem to work both ways...although I won't expect a straight answer.

[radiopalkiller]

Right, a lot of us probably will, but why? Because it sounds like the only thing we 'have to' do to stay alive is not mess with their god killing.

[resistancemedic]

True.

I'll avoid trouble as much as I can. I think it's just with back home being pretty much the same situation, I'm used to fighting it out.

[radiopalkiller]

Pretty much the same? Didn't think machines coming to attack your world to get rid of a bunch of emotion gods was a scenario for all worlds, but I guess the more you know...

[resistancemedic]

The only difference is these gods.

Back home, it's us the machines come to attack. Humans. The Resistance is most of what's left of us, and all that's holding off extinction.

[radiopalkiller]

Fighting for your own survival is different. That's something you go all in for. But this? This isn't our battle, or even our world.

[resistancemedic]

Yeah, that's very true.

I guess we'll just have to see what happens, how much we can avoid and how much we end up fighting.
