[QUOTE="CPaladin, post: 8556905, member: 7030144"] [Session 92, cont'd] Minster of Mind comes in. They dispatched a psion. The psion has achieved some communication, but is almost being driven mad by the combination of their different view of reality and the pipe-organ music in his mind. The message he's received is: "Gear wheel-circle-sun, Cloud, cloud, gear wheel, tree, explosion" Some of the hybrid creatures have come forth and are grooming the humans. Kit takes this to her cryptographers for analysis. “So, you’re right against the territory that Aberlomme holds?” "Been there for generations. Didn’t want to become a lich, though. So when things failed, he replaced them—for himself and all the others. He is the only one who holds more than one piece—he holds two, and is constantly looking for a third. He swears he and his people can smell them. He used to be one of the most friendly of the Mages, but then his people became less and less like people, the longer and more they change." They seem to be looking for reassurance, that the Canberry representatives mean the people no harm. The Council works on images to send back—cup, comb, bread. "There doesn’t seem to be any way to break the rapport—it will eventually drive him mad." They tell the psion to send back sun, tent, water, food. After the mostly mechanical figures have received that, send an image of the psion sleeping? He receives an overwhelming sense of pleasure. Then he sends the sleeping imagery, and the flying mostly mechanical figure looks startled, and then the image goes dark as he puts it to sleep. The refugees cross back. The leader flies over, and says in clear language: “Thank you. My lord holds two. Trade. Care.” * * * The Council also arranges for grain shipments to Hanal. [End Session 92] [/QUOTE]
