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!

[Hold the fuck up.]

nineth god??

[hot_mes]

underwater. you were right.

[circumitus]

being right doesnt help much when we lack in the scuba gear department.

[abyssalarcana]

it feels good to be someone who doesnt need to breathe

[hot_mes]

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

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

[abyssalarcana]

ooh is rey coming with us?

[hot_mes]

unconfirmed either way but we did talk about it

[circumitus]

normally it would depend on what the door can offer
but guess people are going to go after it regardless of personal sentiments.

[hot_mes]

I believe it would be fortuitous to have control over the situation

[circumitus]

even if it risks potentially handing that control over under worse management?

[She's not looking over at'chu, Caedra. Not at all.

[Though really, this applies to a lot of types Rey has met over her years in Hadriel.]

private.

[puzzlingly]

what are you doing?

private.

[hot_mes]

talking to people what does it look like

[circumitus]

yeah sure, go on and laugh it up at us little people who hate drowning. it sucked the last time.

take it that means youre going down there?

[abyssalarcana]

well im definitely going somewhere. diving sounds fun

[circumitus]

can you even understand those coordinates that synthetic just gave?

unless you plan on scouring the entire planet, diving is all youll be doing.

[abyssalarcana]

i cant but someone will. im not just going to jump off a rock here and start swimming

[circumitus]

theyre not that hard to read.

[Look who turns the tables now.]

[01101110]

That is correct!

Well unless you are no longer counting Delight. Then it is the eighth.

[circumitus]

delight still counts whether they like it or not.

just confused. thought their kind all fed off emotions, but this one is the actual DOOR?
guess that explains why everything pops up in the colosseum every time.

[01101110]

I am only able to scan it, not interact, but it's different from them in some way.

When I scan Sorrow's temple I feel sad. When I scan Fear's, I feel afraid.

When I scan this cavern underground, I feel... are there human words for it? I feel very small. I feel as if my circuits have been put together the wrong way. I feel as if my repairs have failed. I feel nothing but also everything and everything and everything and everything and everything and everything and everything and everything and everything and everything a f evrtubg a

[Error]

Yes, that happens. It's very odd. Not like the other parasites.

[circumitus]

sounds like it's overwhelming. maybe too much for your hardware to handle.

if it's not part of their little family, it could be part of something else entirely they they stumbled on - or maybe even something they created, if it's sharing their signature energy. wont know unless we find it and ask it ourselves, assuming that's even an option.

[01101110]

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!

[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.

[01101110]

Are you going to dig it up?

[circumitus]

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