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!

... It's a god?

( She doesn't necessarily trust Name but the Null aren't in the business of lying, just... being. weird. So. /eyes emoji. )

[While Nick had thought Name might be able to help them out in some way, this was not the kind of information he expected. That is certainly something. While he would have preferred such information not be broadcast across the entire network, there's no changing that now.]

Yeah, I'd say that helped. Thanks, Name.

[Hold the fuck up.]

nineth god??

[igniting]

The door is a god?

[Audio]

[drabsolutelynot]

So that would suggest it is wholly sentient? That it has the same cognitive abilities as the others?

[smoketendrils]

[There is a lot to unpack here.]

It sounds like a fair deal, but I have just one question. Why would they want to kill you? I've only just arrived, you see. I'd like to have my facts straight before I agree to anything.

[But theoretically, it... sounds legit to him.]

[so_dark_a_road]

Well, this is a surprise. You're very clever, Name!

Do you think this Door-god is being held in that room underground against its will? Is it a slave or a pet? Do you have any idea?

Next question, would you happen to know how this god came to be fragmented and the pieces dumped in the ocean?

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.

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.

[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.

[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.]

[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?

[demonsional]

Name! Name! I'm so happy to hear your voice again I love you!

[Name wasn't using audio, but...]

[After the initial shock of seeing Name on the pUBLIC NETWORK JESUS CHRIST LITTLE BUDDY!!! Michael has some questions. Actually, he has more questions than this, but in the interest of keeping the Save Name Club a secret, he'll save them.]

At some point, I think it was when Delight and Rage came back from their spy mission,
they told us the Null could use the gods as power sources.
Like, batteries, basically.
Do you think that's what happened to this ninth god?
Is it the battery powering the Door?

Wait. It's one of them?

What are we supposed to do with this god? Do we wake him and release him from captivity?

What are you?
How do we know we can trust anything that you tell us?

How accurate would your scans be if brought back to 100%?

What are you?

[bythewaves]

Little one, word to the wise - if you are trying to be good, I would suggest not using parasite as a term, eh? Most folk find that insulting.

[hasitsthorns]

Well, shit. There's more of them?
Guess people better get on their swim trunks and their flippy floppies.

Thanks for the info, Name.

[Nate knows better than to leave his correspondence lines open, now.

Still, he's ecstatic to hear the news. Not necessarily because it's related to a god, but because it means he has the opportunity to follow his hunch that something was hidden explicitly in the island chain. People are always discounting caves.]

hey buddy, glad you're improving

[They're on buddy terms, right? Since Nate saved Name's bacon, and all.]

quick question: are you equipped with gpr?

sorry, ground-penetrating radar
