Hey, guys.

[Tranquility sounds tired, worn out, a little defeated.]

Thanks for coming for me. That's not how I would've wanted it to go down, but... well, I'm here now. And at least Delight started fighting for us again there at the end. Everything she did, as bad as some of it was, was to try to keep us safe in her own misguided way.

I'm gonna miss her.

Anyway, we're kind of in a crappy position now. The Null are almost certainly gonna track her essence, the parts that ended up here. So we've gotta move, but we're running out of options and time. They've killed one of us already, and they were going to kill me. We've gotta decide how we want to play this. Your lives are on the line here, too, just as much as ours. Maybe more.

Wherever we go, the Null are gonna find us sooner or later. It kinda comes down to whether we want to try to strike against them first, or whether we want to find a more defensive location and shore up, wait for them to come to us. We have a few different options in terms of locations, some of which we've been to before and some we haven't. Thanks to a bunch of you guys, I have a lot of information about where the Null forces are, which places will be less safe or more safe, so take that into consideration.

There's a file attached to this with the info I've collected from you, and from what we already knew. Take a look at it - or don't, I'm not the boss of you - and let us know where you want to go.

Yeah but like, no culture? Music even? You talk, you make noises, what about like, dance or whatever with light show glowing, c'mon.

We talk to you guys. Our actual form of communication is based on emotion and frequencies. We can express ourselves well in that way, but that kind of art would be kind of meaningless to you.

You just make each other feel things? I mean, if that's food to you, does that pass for cuisine? It's not just expression, my man, it's creation. What's that to you?

[He has no idea why he's invested in this, asking these questions at all. But sometimes, you get a little curious. Sometimes he just wants to know what lies on this side of the coin.]

Don't you guys just make each other feel things, too? We do it in a different way, that's all. There's an art to it, or there can be.

But if you want something that'll make more sense to you, well, you've been living in a city I created this whole time. That's art, too. Maybe more your speed.

We don't tell 'em what emotion to feel, but like, whatever. You made this place? Out of pure feelings juice?

[Wait--]

Hey, is this place made of circles because of those tentacle dudes? Because it was made for them?

You try to influence them to feel the emotion you want. We're just way better at it.

[He laughs.]

Yeah, that's it. I wanted someplace that suited them, and someplace that would be comfortable. I think Hope had to alter it some for you guys when you got here.

[It makes him snort, too.]

Man, what bunk. They get everything custom-made and we just pick up the pieces.

[But this has been... interesting. A little weird. Not something he needed or really wanted, but interesting.]

Alright well have fun with your big feelings thing, I'll be over here nnnnot doing any of that. You should all try food sometime though, like. Good stuff. Friendly advice.

Not sure what we'd do with it, since we don't digest things, but thanks for the advice.

Sssssounds like a you problem!

[He laughs, but mostly to himself.]

Alright, chaboy got shit to do, keep my thoughts in your lil' cloud brain, byeeeeeee.

[And he clicks off.]
