- 19-22 Horizon Lost (II) Building the faults into SE-7777’s Heaven ended up being a straightforward task. Interlacing the oscillations of his Soulfire with the threaded patterns representing each Domain, he rebuilt a few canons to include certain caveats to ensure his cadre could pass this section of the wall without issue. All it would take is a triggering of a corresponding miracle to exempt them from the touch of SE-7777’s metaphysical-spatial restrictions. Draus’ reflective passages. Avo’s…-

-The Mad Monk Alsyim, Fallwalker 19-21 Horizon Lost (I) As Paladin Kassamon led them through the security checkpoints preceding the inner structure, he took care to point out the various systems they were using to monitor their facility and boast about the effectiveness of their personnel. The emphasis he placed on his words directed Nandu’s next actions as he linked with the Paladin to review the local lobbies. Ostensibly, it was to review the public-facing information the Exorcists published in the…

+++ -White-Rab’s Edits for the SE-7777 Border Wall Commission 19-20 Walltaker (III) Altering the cannons for the Flathider was ultimately a simple affair. The only thing required of Avo was death. Using his Meta-Fac, he adjusted the parameters of the hubris with a mental command, carving a critical contradiction into the Heaven that sustained the barge. Now, with a single command cast by Chambers, the vessel’s systems would activate its Avo’s success in constructing a functional golem proved…

-Exorcist Kelenn “Tens” Nieyvyr 19-19 Walltaker (II) “Alright,” Draus said, restarting the simulation with a thought. “Let’s run through one more time.” A detailed reconstruction of the SE-7777 border wall hovered at the center of the Command Nexus. Created from a mix of Nether scans and orbital imaging provided by Aegis, the towering pylon protruded from the depths of the Maw, its height rivaling that of even the highest Elysiums crowning the Tiers. Near translucent threads passed…

-Mem-log of Paladin Maru Sandrupal 19-18 Walltaker (I) “Ah, Avo. See you’ve been making more people vegetables recently. I’ve spied a lot more mysterious nullings popping up all over the Warrens.” Raldi greeted his guests from the far end of a long maple-carved table, its surface so polished that their arriving forms appeared like vague blurs contained within the wood. Sawing away at the roasted ursine he ordered and with a full twelve-course meal already laid out, he took the opportunity to…

-Personalized Nether-ad of Yaer Coldstrong, Doghead of Onta-Fang (A Stormtree subsidiary) 19-17 An Attunement of Flesh (II) Dice had a preference for the cybernetic over the purely biological. There was something about the girl that preferred the certainty of steel over the flexibility of flesh. It was understandable, in a way. She lived life as a thing, an object, a weapon, and so, she saw herself the same way: as a blade; a dagger; a gun. What then could speak more to her self-regard than becoming a…

-Instrument Santanado “Starsinger” Mondelles to Seeker “Sintaker” (Ori-Thaum) 19-16 An Attunement of Flesh (I) It took an equal measure of mastery and artistry to reshape a body. With systems within systems wed to other systems, life was a dynamic structure that grew and withered between the moments. Mere days before, Avo’s new Canons of Biology would be little more than weapons–things solely for harm and nothing further. Imbued with Elegant-Moon’s mind and granted Calvino’s instruction,…

-Quail Tavers, 19-15 Change the Doors (II) Avo had to admit his uncertainty. What he requested of Essus treaded the edges of the man’s trauma. Deploying him as an on-site coordinator in refugee encampments or gutter settlements to protect others like him from Syndicate predation seemed the most optimal use of his talents. Still, much of the ask hinged on how well his mind state was, and if he was even willing to leave the city at all. Essus had suffered much to see himself and his son brought into…

- 19-14 Change the Doors (I) Fifty-two thousand arrowhead markers circulated the sigil-like channels of the Maw, each representing a smuggler barge carrying human cargo. Displayed as a dynamic three-dimensional map of New Vultun via the George Washington’s systems paired to Avo’s DeepNav, the cadre saw what he saw, and learned what he already knew. Currently, he had mem-locks to 4.9 million refugees–now smuggled slaves signed to various Syndicates. So long as they remained alive and the FATELESS…

-Jaus Avandaer to Veylis Avandaer 19-13 And the Ways Forsaken When Uthred was struck, it was with the weight of every blow he experienced across the centuries of his life. A million pains blossomed through his body, same, different, forgotten, and remembered. The stones gave to open air beneath his feet, his pain editor triggered, but only some of the hurt was banished. That which he suffered at a time before the implant was grafted remained, and crawled deeper into him. But still, what was pain to…
