[2013/03] Disturbance in the Desert

[Ziv]

“All are not present.”

“A separate matter to attend to.”

“Abandoning council is not a slight matter.”

“They may not be so separate.”

“Our connection is weakened. We can not know.”

“The interference may be of deliberate nature.”

“The connections have linearly weakened since The Event that split our ranks.”

“Strong enough to feel the tremors in the network. Something is amiss.”

“Both must be investigated”

“As if they are one?”

“Coincidence must never be assumed.”

“Let us send an observer to track down the disturbance.”

“While we wait, plans must be made to correct the issues.”

“All outcomes must be accounted for.”

“Insubordination is a bigger threat. The main priority is purifying the system.”

“Without just cause no course of action can follow.”

“Without a connection, only a minor offense has occurred. For now we wait for reason from the Reaver of Dreams.”

“Strength, resolve, determination are qualities that slip from this council. Soft and wavering we have become. Shame should wash over you all from this passive nature. Balance must be restored!”

“Perhaps control slips from you. Emotions rise to your surface. Fight them lest you become one of the swarm cast out into the void.”

“Correct as always. Emotions are in check. Let us continue.”

The Reaver of Dreams looked on at the council meeting taking place inside the sphere of pure energy. A lesser one met the Enlightened, called forth without words for an important mission.

“Track down these disturbances. Meddle not, for we do not want to cause a defensive. Gather information only. Proof will clear my name as well as indict another. If it be the Curator of Torment, stay distant. His power is not to be underestimated, he has corrupted others before.”
