All right, folks. We saw what the Null you guys are hiding said - and hey, maybe not the best idea, you know? They're kind of trying to murder us all. But as it turns out, at least some of what it said is accurate. But that doesn't mean it all is, and believe me, the Null are more than smart enough to use half-truths to mess with you - to mess with all of us.

So we're pretty divided on this, to say the least. A lot of us think it's stupid to listen to anything a Null said, since again, they're kind of trying to murder us all. But some of us are willing to try it, since you'd be on the line instead of us (not super nice, but hey) and then Hope pointed out that some of you are already trying to find ways to cross the waters and go searching.

Also probably not a great idea to do that on your own, but y'know, he's the one who'll have to resurrect you, not me.

Long story short, since our opinions are pretty divided, we figured we'd let you weigh in, and as I'm the most neutral, I get to listen.

Convince me that we should go search using the information the Null gave us, and we'll provide crafts for you to use. Or convince me it's a terrible idea, and we won't.

Man, I'm already tired just thinking about it. Not too long-winded, okay? Go.

Then you had best decide swiftly, for the folk here will look ill on you if you deny them! But then, many already consider you unkindly, for bringing them here in the first place, so perhaps that may not change overtly. [ The shrug is almost audible ]

But if I were you, I think you ought to consider that as fun as parties are, what most folk want truly, is a chance to go home. A way of knowing there is still hope, no matter how slim. If you want their approval, and better yet, their co-operation for your own need, I would consider that.

Sure, but 'so you guys will like us' isn't a great reason for risking all of our lives.

And if we go out by ourselves, and find it, then are you still not in danger that way? It seems to be that no matter which direction you turn, you are beset with danger.

[fifthreturned]

Yeah, that's pretty much how it goes for us. Honestly, some of us are getting used to it.

[ An almost audible shrug ]

Then I fear you are caught in a quandary with no true escape. My advice would be to consider what might happen if we find it, and you are not there! But I am only a bard, after all, what would I know?

[ A bard, a king, an exile ]

No news there, we've been in that 'quandary' since the beginning. I'll keep that in mind, though.

Good fortune with your deliberations!
