[the transmission cuts in and out since their party is quite some distance from the city in the mountains – and under one – but Law is sure going to give it the ol' college try here. Part and parcel of his campaign to share information publicly]

I'm recording this in the hopes that it can reach the city, but if not, I can replay it later when we return. We've reached a bunker [fzzt...garbled words] like the caves, for those who’ve been here long enough to remember. This one has a surprise in it.

[he pans over to where Caedra is eagerly poking at a star chart of some kind, a technological marvel with shining points of light. Now, pirate boy here has seen maps before but star maps are pretty unique, even for astral navigation. The room itself is pretty technologically advanced, event compared to Hadriel itself]

This is...something between technology and magic as far as I'm concerned. If you touch one of those stars, you feel things. Emotions but also physiological response. Even though [fzzt] in here I felt cold, it stimulated nerve sensation. We're testing out as many as we can before we get tired of it but I wanted to send back an image.

[It's at this moment that Caedra reaches forward toward one of the points on the map, but quickly she withdraws her finger with a hiss of pain and a glare at the offensive point of light.]

So far that's all we've found here. No natives, no bodies. I plan to col- [more garbling and pixelating] before we come back. Oh...and it's just the two of us now. Black Leg-ya disappeared an hour ago, right in front of us.

[he looks vaguely disgruntled about that. Lucky bastard gets to go home. Law out]

[Caedra aside...]

They give off sensations that remind me of locations. I'm no navigational expert but I've already concluded that these are worlds where the gods and their hosts have been.

As you can see, there are more than three.

[Well it's not the first time Fingon's run into someone still irritated at his cousins for something.]

A Elbereth.

[If you're going to blaspheme, might as well do it appropriately.]

Then most of them will be worlds the Null has control over as well.

I'm not sure about that. It does look like Null technology, mapping the stars, but the feelings...the Null hate any instance of emotion, they wouldn't use an emotion-based notation system. So, any conclusion I make at the moment would be in error. It could be their map to find where all the worlds with gods and hosts are, or it could be something beneficial done as a joint effort between parties.

I doubt they would have as well. Though if our hosts have only dared to transport us to a few planets...

We can't be sure who made it until we ask one of them, more's the pity. Should I try, as you're still out?

Be my guest. We're a good two weeks of travel out unless there's an emergency, and even hurrying back using our powers is going to take time.

Chances are good every time Fear has ever moved the city, it's been to one of these places. [gesturing over his shoulder to the map]
