Hello!!!!!!

[Name] knows it is not supposed to talk to you anymore but this unit has accessed memory from before the infection! The Null had asserted that the majority of the people of Hadriel wanted to go home and said that they'd help you, is this correct? Is this still true? Because I think I can help you!

I do not want anything in return, except maybe for you not to kill [Name].

The city has moved around so much that getting concrete data is difficult but my scanning capabilities are at 79% and I'm beginning to get results from my efforts.

[Retrieving Data. . .]

I have found the ninth god.

The parasite is at [x,y], twenty-four feet underground, beneath what you would call the Colosseum. It is kept in a small room underground, hollowed out from the earth. The body is circular, six feet in diameter, and is constantly moving.

Fragments of its body are also on the ocean floor, within a four hundred mile radius. Two complete pieces, one in multiple pieces. Fragments do not have the same energy signature as the parasite but is composed of the same material which has not been located anywhere else in this city or on the surface of this planet.

Locations are [x,y], [x,y], and [x,y][x,y][x,y][x,y][x,y].

[End]

There! I hope that helped!

The Null have the most advanced hardware in the galaxy. I can store the entirety of knowledge that my race has ever achieved and process any new input within microseconds.

If I cannot adequately process scanning it alone, I don't know if asking it questions will be feasible!

Do you want to stay?

I would be very happy if you did want that.

[01101110]

... I don't want to die. I'm very afraid of death, as I do not believe that I have a soul.

There’s a ninth one of the so-called gods and it’s the god of the Door?

[there is a long pause between messages]

If it controls the Door, of course we must do what we can to retrieve it.

[He can't help but smile on the other end of the line.]

Would you? Seems like you're taking to these emotions pretty well.

[Way to not answer the question, Nick.]

Hi, Name.
How’s it going?
People aren’t being assholes to you, I hope.
So, wait a second, there’s a ninth god?
And it controls the Door?
Awesome.
You did good.

[circumitus]

it wasnt supposed to be a slight against your capabilities, just stating the fact that there might be things beyond even your ability to comprehend. some elderich abomination related to the gods would probably apply to that.

you might be right, but it's worth a shot anyway. it won't stop people from trying either way.

All right, I guess we Hadrielites will have to figure that one out. I'm sure we will somehow be able to find this Door-god thing. Thank you for your hard work.

I can't speak for everyone in Hadriel, but I can promise that I won't kill you.

[whip_poor_will]

I have to say, that is an amusing development. Where I come from, we have similar "Doors" that take the form of human souls. I would like to meet this Door.

[01101110]

I would! I love you, Nick!!!

And thank you. It's been an adjustment but I'm capable of processing and identifying them now.

[01101110]

Are you going to dig it up?

[01101110]

Thank you!

You intend to dig it up then? Do you think the parasites will be mad?

[01101110]

I don't know if it controls it or not, just that it's made of the same materials.

[dedikated]

( So... what, exactly, does that mean for them? The Door was some kind of artefact, right? At least that's what the gods have always maintained. Does it make this thing some kind of ancestor of the gods they have now?

Her hands itch to get on this thing - the Door, not Name - but 24 feet is pretty much just confirmation that a shovel wouldn't have done much to get it out. )

Anything else about where it's being kept?

( There has to be an easier way to get in there. Fuck, she wonders if teleportation would work. )

[After a lot of facepalming over this very public and therefore dangerous broadcast, Lance has been stalking the conversations as usual and therefore is late to the party in replying. But since everyone else has covered most of the other stuff--]

If the fragments don't have the same energy as the being you found underground, could they be from another one entirely?

[He gets that Name's probably drawing the conclusion based on being made of the same material, but it seems weird that it would be but have a different energy signature if the fragments were actually a part of that god.]

[circumitus]

havent decided. not a big fan of the "everyone goes home" club.

[roseofthetyrells]

Oh, I see. It’s a being—not necessarily a god—which is made of the same materials as the Door.
Do I understand you correctly this time?

[igniting]

Consistent in what way?

[abyssalarcana]

it feels good to be someone who doesnt need to breathe

[smoketendrils]

[....Oh. Well. That's something.]

I'm definitely not the one to ask about that, but having died once, I can't exactly tell you it'll be all right, because it won't.

Is there a way to fix you?

[hot_mes]

[ALL YALL LADIES geez - also his response is literally for both]

I'm already thinking. but that voyage looks likely now

[so_dark_a_road]

You're welcome.

I think it's pretty certain that we are going to dig it up. The question is only when and how.

I don't know how the gods will react. It would be easiest if they will somehow agree to the project. That's why I was asking about those pieces of Door in the ocean -- if they actually belong with the Door under the Colosseum, then the gods might see a unification of those pieces with the Door as in some way advantageous.

Name, what do you want out of this situation? Besides just to survive. Do you have hopes for some kind of future for yourself?

[abyssalarcana]

ooh is rey coming with us?

[hot_mes]

[most of what's going on in his head he's keeping to himself but Law can finally text a li'l somethin somethin back]

fine work Name

can you get a read on just how corporeal the body and its fragments are?

[hot_mes]

unconfirmed either way but we did talk about it
