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!

You think that if we find those Door fragments and bring them back, it would multiply the energy we're radiating? Enough to be detectible by the Null, way out in space or wherever they are?

Could. ( But not what she meant. )

Think if we dig it up, before or after, it risks exposing us.

( They already have to change locations every few months as it is. What happens if another massive surge of power rises to the surface? )

Do you mean that if we bring the Door to the surface, it'll get upset and start screaming or something? Get louder than it already is, in the energy spectrum?

Or do you mean that if it stays underground, the rocks around it provide at least some shielding for its energy output, but if we bring it above-ground, there just won't be anything to block its power surges?

Second one.

( There's a brief pause as Kate gathers her words. )

Seeing power's like seeing anything else. Further away it is, harder it is to see. Impossible to see through the ground. ( At least, that's how it should be, how it is for her. )

Thing's bright enough to give me a headache now. Closer it gets, the more concentrated that becomes. Don't know exactly how the Null scan for shit but I'm guessing the same holds true for them - have to have their limits as well.

( After all, weren't they safer underground until Delight betrayed them? And when the Null attacked, they seemed to have no interest in scanning the ground, in finding the Door, despite so called promises. )

Wait, you can perceive the Door's signal directly, with your own power? [ Hoo boy! ]

Seems so.

( Understatement. She's been looking at it near constantly since their senses returned. )

I didn't know that. I wonder if there is some part that you might play in sorting out this. . . rather strange situation? If you can detect the Door's radiation even when it's underground, might you be able to detect a Door-like energy signature that is coming from under water?

Most likely. If they're the same signatures.

( If the Null isn't getting shit wrong. )

Hmmm. [ He's thinking about ways to get at those Door fragments. There may be people here who are skilled enough and have the equipment that would make it possible to locate these artifacts exactly, once the boats arrive at Name's coordinates, but it might be useful if this task could be accomplished with the use of skills such as Kate's. ]

I can't tell from what Name says if the Door fragments have the same signature as the Door does. Name's thought and verbal processes seem a little scattered.

Said the material was. ( But not the signature. But that's why she's fortunate Alphys was the one who found her when she discovered the Door's signature in the first place. It makes it a lot easier to check with her technological expertise. )

Figure it out once we get them.

( Because that is definitely a when, not an if, if Kate has anything to say about it. )

The material is, eh? And that doesn't tell us much, since we don't know anything about the Door's material.

But yes, we'll figure it out. [ He has the same level of determination as Kate does. ]
