[ guess who has two thumbs and is sitting by the lake, clearly enjoying a bout of fishing? ]

So. What kinds of fish do you get to catch, here?

What -- whose remains?

[ oh dude that's gross and creepy ]

[voice]

[hot_mes]

As far as I know, the people who the gods fed off of before us.

[voice]

[nascere]

They fed off them and left them there to die?

[voice]

[hot_mes]

No...it's not like that. They were killed by the ones called the Null - massacred, en masse. I've never found out whether they were dumped in the lake or that was just where they happened to be when they died.

[voice]

[nascere]

[ ...aw, man. ]

So -- this Null. I keep hearing about them, but I don't know what they are. Are they some sort of monster?

[voice]

[hot_mes]

Depends on what you consider a monster.

They're machines. Entirely, there is no living body in them. They're the...species, I guess, that obliterated the people who originally lived here as well as the gods, all except Hope and Fear. They regard emotions as a virus and would rather eradicate the source than find a humane and logical way to deal with it.

[voice]

[nascere]

So... kill them on sight?

[voice]

[hot_mes]

[WEEEELL...]

Here's hoping they don't find us again. If they do, the battle will be something you can't ignore.

[because technically he's helping that one but it's not something he's going to admit to or even try to explain. Sorry dude.]
