-Veylis Avandaer 24-8 The “Assembly” Marlowe coughed as she tried to ease Kae’s outburst. Her words were a droplet of water. Too bad Kae’s frustration was building like an inferno. Both Avo sighed as Marlowe winced at the Columner’s off-hand remark. If Kae was incensed before, she was incendiary now. The faither quietly nodded in the real and mentally prayed, asking his god to give him patience, and Kae grace. Avo blocked those thoughts from flowing across to prevent the Agnos from…-

-GRAND ASSEMBLY: The Shapeless Government of Highflame (Highflame Propaganda Documentary Series) 24-7 The Assembly The remainder of the meeting took on a more focused quality as the cadre decided on their new operating parameters. First was insuring themselves against the danger posed by the Famines. They were to use Avo’s splinters as an operational umbrella, and under no condition was anyone to operate without notifying the rest of the group. Should anyone go missing or get disconnected across the…

-”Observer-Narrow” (Ashthrone) 24-6 Diplomatic Vulnerabilities (III) The Paladins left the Elysium of Nuurhein with ten additional Bloodthanes arrested and a media frenzy rising in their wake. Observing Naeko through Kare’s eyes, Avo found himself glad of his prior achievement. Revealing Zein and delivering her unto Naeko had been a risky, ultimately worthwhile, ploy. Pain still emanated from the Chief Paladin’s mind, but there was a drive to him now. A drive that could be cultured, nourished,…

-Paladin Krader on subject and citizen losses 24-6 Diplomatic Vulnerabilities (II) Naeko's complete arrival came with a sudden spike in metaphysical pressure. It was as Zein had once said: once one rose beyond the Sixth Sphere, the potential operating with thaumaturgic subtlety changed from a question of difficulty to impossibility. Even without his Heaven manifested, Avo could still feel Naeko–feel him like someone could feel a giant stepping down on them. Feel them like a man trying to bear the…

- [Glavie Mem-Note: 24-6 Diplomatic Vulnerabilities (I) The Conflagration imploded and swept across the battlefield like a falling tide. Wards shattered into dust. The flames poured past broken Metas and consumed the minds they housed, claiming both ego and will at once. The fires of the Nether sang with a renewed chorus of laughter as the thoughtform that wielded the Conflagration forced his victims to withhold their Rend as death finally took them. Soulfire joined the inferno as Heavens writhed…

-”Sparrowwind,” Freelance Necro 24-5 Battle of the Twin Flames (III) A concentrated bombardment of agony consumed Chambers. These traumas that assailed him, they were tailor-made to break him specifically. Weapons made from the horrors of his past crashed against his wards like waves dashing themselves against a mountain. The surrounding sequences twisted and changed into a jungle of horror. He was a hundred sequences away from the warmind. Close enough to feel full weight of Hysteria’s…

-Interview with “Tattlekill,” Sanctus Counter-Necrojack 24-5 Battle of the Twin Flames (II) The memories Kare had of her mother were coming apart at the seams. The ghosts holding them together were shattering like glass shards turned missiles, primed to seek symmetrical sequences, each fragment breaking and slicing through her mindscape. Sharp cries of pain—physical and emotional—resonated from the Paladin. There was only so much White-Rab could do to stop her from coming asunder. He was,…

-Conversation between Veylis Avandaer and a Captured Famine of “Emotion.” (Suspected to have been deliberately leaked to Ori-Thaum intelligence circa 201 P.F.) 24-5 Battle of the Twin Flames (I) The Conflagrations weren’t so much frozen as they were burning really, really slowly. This fact became known to Chambers as soon as he slipped past its exterior. His memories sparked like candle wick, but the languid pace of his subsumption left him feeling but a gnaw. As things stood, he could spend…

- 999-999 THE END "Ah, Chambers, I am dying." Awareness suddenly flooded Chambers' mind as he turned and found himself laying amidst rubble. Moments ago, he was in the enclave, playing a mem-sim to pass the time. After his recent dives alongside Avo, stress had begun to accumulate, and he requested time off to re-center himself—time off to examine some vicarities and lustful games he hadn't had the chance to sample in a while. However, now he found himself surrounding by hell unleashed. The dome of…

-Exchange between Oversec Dispatch “Town Crier” and Chief Paladin Samir Naeko 24-4 Defilement (IV) It took painfully long for Kare to accept the session request, but when she did, White-Rab immediately understood why. Tapping into her cog-feed, the scene before her was carnage and chaos. Her Heaven was fully manifested, and she was whipping tendrils of lightning at the oncoming cadre in a vicious offense to keep them at bay. The water surrounding her was rapidly hissing away into steam as tongues…
