[5:47][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*Star Trek Stardancer, "That which remains is but whispers...in a dream."
[5:47][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:Stardate 2455122.4
[5:47][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:Last time on Star Trek Stardancer..
[5:49][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*A montage of the cadets movign through the city of Kiiklass into the library, the discovery of the blind population of the children of the crying sun being used for experimentation by a Species call
[5:50][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:the Hrass a precursor to the kirtascaans. The discovery of the blight experiements and maeve opening a sarcophagus which contained an entinite that looked like a nirizean. As all the cadets were
[5:50][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:gathered, their world went black.
[5:50][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:And now the conclusion
[5:51][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*The world faded from black to a vibrant city in the sun. As everyone looked around they would see they were in a city street. Tech level somewhere around 19th century Trill. The Nirizian like specie
[5:51][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:were all around them. All fo the Cadets and Commander bessely could recognize each other but did not seem to be drawing attention
[5:52][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:{maeve] Well we aren't dead
[5:52][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:[Zarina] "That has yet to be definitively proven.
[5:52][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Interesting. This looks like old drawings of Trill.
[5:53][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] Definitiely doesn't look liek the desert planet we were on
[5:53][DOIC1]Tairi@Cuatel:*A scream started and choked off from Tairi's direction. A quiet whimper followed shortly thereafter.
[5:53][DOIC1]Chatam@Jabroc:Curious, most curious
[5:54][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"There was something about the memory, is this a psychic replay of their past do you think? And is it just a replay or something we are supposed to do?
[5:54][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*one of the peopel bumped into antony
[5:55][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:[Zarina] **turns and looks toward Tairi*
[5:55][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Woman] Sorry, Sorry, *She seemed to be using soemthing to assist her moving without sight
[5:55][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] "There has to be a reason behind going through this effort. If they wanted to merely subdue us they would put us in a dream that we were not aware was, in fact, a dream.
[5:55][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"I think they want us to see... something.
[5:56][DOIC1]Tairi@Cuatel:*Tairi was standing still with her eyes closed. She was clearly still alive, conscious, and breathing, although the latter was notably faster than normal for her.
[5:56][DOIC1]Chatam@Jabroc:Then lets follow the clues
[5:56][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] "We shall hear them out, then. Nirizeans were always an... aloof sort, but they did nothing without a purpose behind it. Even if that purpose was known only to themselves.
[5:57][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*as they looked around they woudl see that many of the people were mvoign aroudn liek normal and sigted but there did seem to be a very large number of peoepl movign with visual assistance devices
[5:57][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*a woman walked voer to tairi and touched her shoulder
[5:57][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"no problem ma'am
[5:57][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Woman] Are you okay sorrow-heart
[5:58][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:[Zarina] "Watched as the people interacted with members of the gorup.*
[5:58][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*the woman was almost half a meter taller than tairi
[5:58][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Tavi looked around, trying to take it all in.
[5:58][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*her black eyes didn't seem to track where tairi was
[5:59][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] Well we don't have tricorders or any of our equipment so we were transportered here
[5:59][DOIC1]Tairi@Cuatel:*tairi spasmed at the touch and shied away from the woman* It's not real... it's not real... it's not real..
[5:59][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*Hedwik curiously studied the locals instead, trying to see if there were any other visible differences between the blind and not-blind members of the species.
[5:59][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Woman] Of course its real child
[5:59][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] Anyone seen Tairi
[5:59][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Marlin] *He waved to one of the device-assisted people until Marla smacked him in the arm.
[6:00][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"But it is... philosophers have always suggested that everything we perceive is our reality. It's all in our head." *Turning back to where Tairi was a moment before at that question.
[6:00][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*the sighted nirizeans seemed to have normal eye colors, they also seemed a little shorter on average.
[6:01][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*still msot were ignoring their prescence
[6:01][DOIC1]Tairi@Cuatel:*Tairi slowly opened her eyes and looked up at the woman* You're not going to hurt me
[6:01][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Woman] No child. Why would i hurt you
[6:01][DOIC1]Tairi@Cuatel:*whispers* The shadows..
[6:01][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*the woman was in some sort of religious robe. The symbol on it of a set of open palms holding a image of the sun
[6:02][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Woman] Shadows are not to be feared, they are but what exists between the light and your heart
[6:02][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Woman] And drive us in our search for illumination
[6:03][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*Hedwik raised an eyebrow as she listened to the priestess.* "Interesting way to view things.
[6:04][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Tavi calls out* "Tairi, call out.
[6:04][DOIC1]Tairi@Cuatel:*looks up at the woman and tilts her head* How... How do you know what light and shadow are
[6:04][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Priestess] Because i no longer have the world-sight
[6:05][DOIC1]Tairi@Cuatel:You could see before
[6:05][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Priestess] I was once able to see the light of our star. But as I learned the heart-language my need atrophied. All who walk the path lose the sight from the the illumination
[6:06][DOIC1]Tairi@Cuatel:Oh. *she looked around for the other cadets* Have you see-- umm.. nevermind
[6:06][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Tavi, following her instinct to keep everyone self, moves a perimeter until she can see Tairi, and the rest to bring her back into the group.
[6:08][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Preistess] Your heart language is unique. And your fear is strong. Allow the illumination to fill you child and you will never fear the shadow
[6:10][DOIC1]Tairi@Cuatel:I don't want to be afraid anymore, but I don't want to be blind either.
[6:10][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Priestess] You do not have to give yourself over to the scouring to feel the warmth of the light
[6:11][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Priestess] They do not let those who cannot speak the heart-language do so anyway. It is not your burden
[6:11][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] Seeing that the other moon we were on had musltiple stars this is definitely not that world
[6:11][DOIC1]Tairi@Cuatel:Hey um.... do you know anyone named Uniya
[6:12][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Priestess] There is an acolyte in the temple with that name
[6:12][DOIC1]Tairi@Cuatel:Oh, then do you know where the temple is
[6:13][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Priestess] Of course, Do you and your Heartkind wish to feel it
[6:13][DOIC1]Tairi@Cuatel:Umm.... probably yes
[6:15][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Priestess] Then We should go to them
[6:15][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[priestess] *she offered her hand to tairi to lead her over to the others
[6:16][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Tairi, call out." *Tavi was still looking for her, but not letting the main group out of sight.
[6:16][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] Commander you think this might be the Nirizean's original homeworld
[6:16][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] Like before they were taken into the Imperium
[6:16][DOIC1]Tairi@Cuatel:*reached up and took the priestess's hand
[6:17][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*her large hand dwarfed tairis
[6:17][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] "I think that it is a bit premature to jump to conclusions.
[6:18][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] "The Nirizeans' origins have always been shrouded in mystery. For all we know this is a subspecies, one brought here rather than Tanausa.
[6:18][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*Hedwik had definitely been with the main group until now, and just shrugged her shoulders.* "I am still more worried about the blight.
[6:20][DOIC1]Tairi@Cuatel:*walked back to the grouop with the priestess* Hi. I made a friend
[6:21][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:[Zarina] **raises a brow at Tairi's new 'friend'*
[6:22][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*the priestess was taller than everyone here even a little taller than marlin
[6:22][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Priestess] Greetings
[6:23][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:[Zarina] "Greetings.
[6:23][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Marlin] *He stared at the tall lady in awe.
[6:23][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Coming up behing Tairi* 'Be careful about separating, we don't know anything yet.
[6:23][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Hello.
[6:24][DOIC1]Chatam@Jabroc:*Zhal nods a hello.
[6:24][DOIC1]Chatam@Jabroc:Chatam*
[6:25][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Priestess] Tairi says you wish to visit the temple of Illumination
[6:26][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Priestess] that you might be friends of Uniyas
[6:26][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She raised an eyebrow curiously, but looked towards Bessley, not wanting to speak over the leader of their little expedition.
[6:26][DOIC1]Tairi@Cuatel:*looks at Bessley with hope
[6:27][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] "She is correct.
[6:27][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Priestss] Then follow me
[6:27][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] "Keep close, everyone.
[6:27][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She went with the group.
[6:27][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*the priestess still holding tairi's hand liek a toddler lead them through the street
[6:27][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:[Zarina] **follows, making sure to stay close.*
[6:28][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Tavi tries to keep quiet and alert, feeling still protective even though she isn't armed.
[6:28][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*Was that a flash of jealousy on Hedwik's features that someone else got to get their hand held by tall magic woman? No, must have been a trick of the light...
[6:30][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*they were lead through the streets until they reached a very large temple. Massive open windows seemed to elt itn eh sunlight from all angles
[6:30][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*people flowe din and out of it
[6:30][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*as the priestess lead them up the stairs and into the temple, most of the parishiners bowing to her
[6:32][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*The showing of religious ceremony so openly seemingly made Hedwik a bit uncomfortable, so she kept her eyes front and tried to look neutral.
[6:32][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*then as they entered they were hit with an almost oppressively blinding level fo light
[6:33][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*maeve squinted and had to cover her eyes
[6:33][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] Not meant for romulan eyes..
[6:33][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] "You called this the temple of illumination?" *Her gleaming eyes seemed to brighten ever so slightly as they adjusted.* "A bit literal, it would seem.
[6:33][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*Hedwik hissed loudly and covered hers too.* "Nor kzari!
[6:34][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Priestess] The Illumination can be difficult for the unscoured. Please take these
[6:34][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*She lead them over where there were glasses that blocke dout 80 percent of th elight
[6:34][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] Scoured
[6:34][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:[Zarina] **Squinted as the brightlitght hit her.*
[6:34][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Priestess] Those who stare into the light of the Star until they are filled with its illumination and no longer need to see
[6:34][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Tavi shielded her eyes
[6:35][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] you ritually blind yourselves
[6:35][DOIC1]Tairi@Cuatel:*tried on the glasses with her free hand
[6:35][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] "Put them on if you need them," *she told the group.* "Which should be most of you.
[6:35][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*Hedwik put her glasses on as well.* "No need to tell me twice, Ma'am.
[6:35][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*maeve put on the glasses
[6:35][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:[ZArina] **made sure to grab a pair of glasses and put them on.*
[6:35][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Marlin and Marla put on their shades.
[6:35][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Priestess] I susppose to an outsider it would appear that way. But thsoe who undertake the scouring see by other means.
[6:36][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"They help.
[6:36][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] "You remove one sense to heighten another, then?
[6:36][DOIC1]Tairi@Cuatel:Telepathy, maybe
[6:36][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Priestess] The Heart Language is all we need to see the truth of her Embrace
[6:37][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:[Zarina] "interesting.
[6:37][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Can you tell us more of her embrace?
[6:38][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Priestess] The Goddess in th elight. She guides us through the heart language. Our worhsip nourishes her as she nourishes us
[6:39][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] "She communicates with you tel--- through your Heart Language?
[6:39][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Priestess] yes
[6:40][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Priestess] This way to see uniya
[6:40][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] *She nodded and would go to follow.
[6:40][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Tavi follows, as a shepherd would, making sure no one wanders off.
[6:41][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:[Zarina] **goes to follow*
[6:41][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*as they leave the main chamber the light level while still high is much more managable
[6:42][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*they pass into an room that has aroudn 40 juvenile Nirizean learning from a central figure they are readign from stone tablets they all appear blind already.
[6:43][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] *The gleam of her eyes lessened as they moved away from the higher illumination.
[6:43][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] They are already blidned
[6:43][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Priestess] These children are borne sightless. They are the Goddess's chosen
[6:43][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] "...Chosen?
[6:44][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Priestess] Those who are born without sight, can hear the heart language of all of us. They learn to speak for the goddess
[6:45][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Priestess] One is chose on her 17th Star Day. And ascends, then all others in her cohert will hear her commands. It is how our high priestess is selected
[6:45][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Priestess] Uniya, there are some seekers here to see you
[6:46][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] *Her lips flattened into a frown momentarily, but the expression soon passed as she looked to the one addressed as Uniya.
[6:46][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*a girl while tall but defintiely equivelent of around 9 years old stand sup form her tablet and walks over to them
[6:47][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Uniya] They have a unique heart song
[6:47][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Uniya] So many different harmonies
[6:47][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] "I imagine we're not quite like anything you've encountered before.
[6:48][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Uniya] No You ar enot. What sort of things do you seek. Aija
[6:49][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] *If she was remotely surprised at the girl knowing her name it did not show.* "Knowledge and understanding. We want to know about your people.
[6:49][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Uniya] Your interest is genuine but you seam to have fear of us
[6:49][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Uniya] An unease, We mean no harm in the Goddess's Warmth
[6:50][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Raised brow
[6:50][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Priestess] Uniya remember not to use the heart-language without invitation
[6:50][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Uniya] I am sorry, it is hard when it is so lound
[6:50][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*loud
[6:51][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] "I don't take offense. Rather, if you can read my heart you'll know the reason behind my trepidation.
[6:52][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Uniya] War. Pain. Darkness. Atrocity
[6:52][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Uniya] You come from a tommorrow
[6:52][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Uniya] My tommorrow..
[6:53][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Uniya] And yet still your yesterday
[6:53][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] *She nodded.* "The temporal can be somewhat confusing like that.
[6:53][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:[Zarina] **raises and eyebrow suddenly looking concerned.*
[6:53][DOIC1]Chatam@Jabroc:I never did enjoy Temporal Mechanics...
[6:54][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Really? I find it fascinating.
[6:54][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] Well it makes sense. Technically we are in her future but thanks to the ocean she's in our past. Though I think we are in a memory somehow
[6:54][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*there were screams from outside
[6:54][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] "In--- what is going on?
[6:54][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*uniya, the priestess held their minds
[6:55][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Uniya] SOmething... SOmething is killing her...
[6:55][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*they keel over on the gorund the room they wer ein still had a window that seemed to open up to the sky even if it didn't have the mirror amplificaiton
[6:55][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*maeve moved to help uniya
[6:56][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] "Killing who?
[6:56][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*all fo the children were screaming in pain
[6:56][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*so was the teacher
[6:56][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*blood coming from their eyes
[6:56][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Shit..." *She looked around, and went to the window to see what the hell is happening.
[6:56][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Marlin] "Oh, no!
[6:56][DOIC5]Antony@Gonz.:*Tavi went tot he door
[6:56][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Tavi went tot he door
[6:57][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:(the door
[6:57][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] *She looked out the window.
[6:57][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*as hedwik looked out the window she saw somethign odd happenign with the central star. It was dimming in pulses a black growing shadow over like ink forming
[6:58][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] "...No... it can't be?
[6:58][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Is that... the black ocean?
[6:59][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*it was fast. and already over by the time they saw it. the black ink consumed the star leaving only small embers in the now darkened sky, liek twlinking tears.
[6:59][DOIC1]Tairi@Cuatel:The crying star
[6:59][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] No..
[6:59][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] *maeve held her chest for a moment and winced in pain
[6:59][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Tavi is looking to see what is going on in the next room, comparing to this one.
[7:00][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*more of the smae the religious caste seemd to all eb in pain crying tears of blood the faithful trying to tend to them while beign confused abotu what was going on
[7:00][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*they all heard a voice in their minds
[7:00][DOIC1]Chatam@Jabroc:*Follows after Hedwik.
[7:01][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Voice] ~You have been freed by the right of Obtenebration what you do with your life is yours, prosper in the Dark.
[7:01][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] Entropic stagnation
[7:02][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] Fusion is restricted..
[7:02][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] its going to get cold these people... so many are going to die. How could they be so callous
[7:02][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Doesn't look all that freeing to me.
[7:02][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"The star is stifled.
[7:03][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Uniya] The goddess is dead...
[7:04][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] "Because the lives they snuff out mean about as much to them as the insects incidentally squashed beneath our boots as we walk mean to us.
[7:04][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"I see, freeing them from their goddess's influence, and their lives.
[7:04][DOIC1]Tairi@Cuatel:*shuffles over to rejoin the group* This was one of the recordings. "The light was taken from the world, which descended into darkness, and the Hrass were made their keeper.
[7:05][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*the scene around them shifted they were meer observers now. Snows falling over a city, warmth souught underground where the coudl use geothermal power
[7:05][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*mass dyigns, famines, and the sighted being selected against
[7:05][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*Uniya grew older attempting to lead her people as best as she could
[7:06][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*until they were "rescued" by a species called the Hrass, and brought to a new sunlit world
[7:07][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*then the gaps are filled in, with them learngin the truth that the Hrass worshiped the Slayer of the light. and they were controlled. Uniya Now old and frail transfered her mind to a younger body
[7:07][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:over 1000 years of generations remaining hidden until they learned of the plague and she was placed in stasis.
[7:08][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*they all awaken in the vault.

[7:10][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Uniya] Now you have understanding
[7:11][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:[Zarina] **awakens and quickly climbs to her feet*
[7:11][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"I... still have some gaps that need filling, admittedly.
[7:12][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Uniya] Ask whatever quesitons you wish, I am here to tell of what happened before I join my people in oblivion
[7:12][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Tavi somberly takes her feet, and moves around to make sure the others are recovering.
[7:12][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Your people... were they taken only to this world? Or other ones too?
[7:13][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Uniya] THose from that world were only brought here
[7:13][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Uniya] But we were pilgrims to that world even long before. Heeding the call of the goddess we cast of our starships and used them to construct the first cities in the light
[7:13][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Ah. That explains it." *She nods.
[7:14][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Uniya] Explains what
[7:14][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Up until some decades ago, a species that was very reminiscent of an offshoot of yours was populous in parts of the galaxy.
[7:14][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Uniya] these Nirizeans you spoke of
[7:15][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"The same.
[7:16][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] "Indeed. Though save for your appearance and telepathic proclivities there are some notable distinctions.
[7:16][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] This Goddess you mentioned. What did she want before she was killed
[7:17][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Uniya] She hungered for worship. Almost sustained by devotion
[7:17][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Uniya] And she promised us ascension
[7:19][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Uniya] Which is somehting the Hrass also promised
[7:20][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Uniya] through their Own Dark Goddess
[7:20][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Uniya] Many of my people converted to the religion abandoning our slain goddess
