Datunda,
29 Telona, 12731 T
afternoon

 
I don't feel like this nap was fifteen minutes. And yet, most of the people who were in this room when I put my head down are now elsewhere; and the hurricane has passed; and the obelisk has poked me to let me know it has sunlight; and I have this email I missed from Reese.

 
To Vanya,

From Reese.Pieces@Mentat.edu,

Is now a good time to inspect our friends and enemies (et cetera) for Tau Ceti worm creatures?

 
Under cover of staring at a mug o' caf, it is time once again for the Ysadora version of the Jedi Mantra:

 
:breathe in:

Emotion, yet peace.

:breathe out:

Bone worms. Mucked up by three Kaminoans on contract to Matres Preena. Now they use retrovirus technobabble (thanks Dr. Simon Tam! I'm still not learning those words!) to turn their hosts into other creatures.

 
:breathe in:

Ignorance, yet knowledge.

:breathe out:

Also the puppetmaster whatsits. Different shape in the Force. Take up a similar volume of body, at least at first, but more likely to be near the neural net. A group is sentient but I dunno about an individual.

 
:breathe in:

Passion, yet serenity.

:breathe out:

It's right and proper to care about this. It's not good for me or anybody else to take it personally. I will not pick up a sense of being a failure if these things happen to be here, outside the biome where they belong.

 
:breathe in:

Chaos, yet harmony.

:breathe out:

 
Sense the shape of the surrounding Force, feeling in expanding concentric ripples around me for intense pockets of the Dark Side -- like trying to find clogs of mud floating in the bend of a wide, slow-moving river

 
:breathe in:

Death, yet the Force

:breathe out:

 
It's like a warm hum, with the bonus of a warm cup of caf in hand on a cold morning.

 
It's like being around the Beskar when they're doing a haka for the fun of it.

 
It does not seem to be aware of me.

 
So'Zen Al Saba says this used to be a B'omarr Monastery which means there might be brain-stealing bogeymen in the subbasement and you know, that's not congruous with the aura of this particular obelisk.

 
A Durosian lady, Jill Voontum, is Lord Erenn's right hand person at Stiydear Estate.

 

 
Foreshadowing:

The message carved into the hatch door says,

You Will Find Only What You Bring.

Look Too Long And The Shadow Of the Light Looks Back Through You.

I translated that into the very very vernacular as "Don't start none AND don't overstay your welcome", but in a really happy tone.

 

So'Zen goes inside the Obelisk chamber:


 

The catacombs under the old monastery go toward the eons old city now below the dust ocean


They also show the obelisk at the Rotating Temple, and eons ago a small city there as well.


Also also: the old Bendu temple at the Needle Forest is the last surviving part of that ancient city.


The miniature versions of 2 obelisks are made of crystal that starts to glow green. They cast a light ray that stretches across the planetary miniature.


The convergence point is out in the desert, it forms the shadow outline of a city, and then for a moment the mountains turn to glass. Underneath one of the glass mountains is another city with an obelisk. This is nowhere near Port Tannin/Undercity.


Something about the shadows beyond the 3rd obelisk calls So'Zen's attention.


  1. a stack of some old flimsies!

    2.  
  2. 2) the shadows beyond the 3rd obelisk form the shape of the Sith Order

 
No problem, we know a couple of people.
