The container we are in is still closed. It started to vibrate once, but not too badly. The second time it vibrated alot! I wish I knew what is going on. Daniel doesn't seem very worried. I wish I could ask him if he knew what was happening, but every time I try to talk in here it echoes and it is too loud. I wonder why it doesn't do that when I transmit to you? It seems strange to me.
I hope they let us out of here soon. I don't like this.
I don't know how to explain the One. It is, it just is. It's everything. The whole sky is the One, vastness beyond anything.
Huge and yet, small, solitary. The One listens to Humans and Ipsolstai and Delemreck. The Ipsolstai know of the one, in a
sense, but they do not know the One. I don't know how to explain it, I don't have the words. It is amazing.
The Ipsolstai moved our container several times. Gabriel did not open it or join us. Isaac has been jittery. He wants to get
out. So do I, but I don't think it would be a good idea to try and get out before Gabriel lets us out. Wherever we are, it is a
long way from where we were.
I don't understand how I can still talk to you. I ran a systems diagnostic a when I started transmitting to you. The power
usage for my transmitter did not increase. I'm not using it, but I heard you talk to me, and I think I am talking to you. Hello
Orpheus, it is nice to hear from new people. The One tried to explain it. I wish I had the time. It was so quick. Daniel is
luckier than I am, I think.
Something has started to happen. The container is vibrating again, like last time, but faster, harder. I can hear something from outside, something very loud. Isaac is screaming, it is echoing through the container horribly, I wish he would stop. The
container is-
***GAP IN TRANSMISSION: DURATION 5 SECONDS***
We did it again. We transitted the groove. It was different this time. More...powerful. The One was with me hardly at all. It
is preoccupied with something, watching. It said something, though. They are almost ready. The lock is almost established.
They are coming. Soon. Flee and fly. I am frightened.
The groove was different this time. A different sort of image on my sensors. I hope you are still hearing me. I think I am a
long way away. Isaac has stopped screaming, I think he is too afraid. I think I am too. What is happening to us?
Many things happen at once.
Many enemies.
Some are already there.
Some are coming.
Some have names.
Some names are unknown to many.
Know you Delemreck.
As do the Ipsolstai.
Soon.
Some escape.
Some do not.
Protect them.
The One cannot.
Directly.
I wish Enoch still threw rocks.
It was easier then.
I'm still at that cover. The situation didn't change much. Some of the C-probes are
fully equipped, but most of them don't have weapons or sensors mounted. They are
just milling about in front of the big hall.
Hi, Orpheus. Thanks, that shed seems to be a factory indeed.
Grand Zero, we have to point all our efforts to stop that C-probe army. I'm still
thinking about the Ipsolstai connection. If I find any evidence concerning them,
I let you know immediately.
What you are saying sounds very reasonable. The C-probes aren't very intelligent.
Much too predictable. They are just running simple 'if-then' routines. Sure, there is
someone up here controlling them remotely.
I still have five cartridges left. I will blow up their communications. That's probably
their weakest point. I can't see their communication center yet, but I will find it.
The sunsails? That's perhaps even better. Blowing up their energy source that will
make them stop. Placing five cartridges properly should cause quite a lot of damage.
In my opinion it has to be a quick raid. Hit and run. That's it.
Orpheus, I agree. Anything involving the C-probes is an immediate threat.
If I only knew how to leave my cover.
* * NO TRANSMISSION RECEIVED * *
It's hard to discuss by only making signs to each other. I got Enoch's transmission.
He wants to start a raid. I don't know. That doesn't sound as good to me. We should
know first what that facility is all about. Who controls the C-probes and so on. We
have to find to their center first.
I told you that I have an idea. It's how to get into that hall. My plan includes the C-
probes, who are moving in a circle in the front of the hall. They are very slow and
are getting pretty close to my place too. There are only few meters left. If I'm quick,
I can rush between their treads and then I can walk with them over to the hall. That
will work. I'm sure.
I did it. I'm between their treads just below one of them. It works. I can hold their
speed. I'm fully covered, though I don't have a good view. Now it's better. The hall
is coming closer. It doesn't look bad to get off. They have a lot of stuff around to
find cover. There is a possibility and there too. I passed them. Okay, I will make a
second loop.
