Aftermath
10 > Albrecht
I wanted nothing but the ease of oblivion, at first. I floated ignorant in baths of nepenthe, a second gestation. Unseeing, unspeaking. Only rarely did my brain flicker errant light across the cave-paintings still smeared on the interior of my skull.
At sensation's edge I knew a vague silhouette of Loid crooning motherly across the watery distances, the poetry my tongue was too blackened to recite.20 > Albrecht
Too craven to chase death, I awaited it. The father of fears, and yet I was still afraid.
The currents whispered coward. I clenched my body into a fist as a foetus must and blinded myself afresh.
Stark pain smoked the juice of my living tomb. Why did the saga not end by itself? Why must I still act?30 > Albrecht
Steeped in solitude, I found I could no longer endure my own company.
Disgust did the work of courage. I tore the mundane membrane, slid weak and mucosal into Loid's embrace.40 > Albrecht
Loid nursed me then, tending first to the uprooted ruin of my eyes, then to the mouth whose grin no longer hid behind flesh.
The agony bit deep, but it was clean. Blameless love bled up from me.
I had decided to live.50 > Albrecht
I felt no certainty as I donned clothes rough and strange to the touch of newgrown skin. I had none of the selfless zeal of the soldier.
The same cursed question still pursued me as it had before: was I, even now, trapped in the rictus of the Wall?60 > Albrecht
The apparatus of logic would never yield an answer. Only resolute action remained. If I must be a demon, let me be an honest one. Let me prove my nature by what I do next.
Purpose. Let me leave such blazing footprints behind me as no unclean thing would dare to walk in.ApproachGrim

That book. I look at it and I want to spit or split. That thing's wrong. Capital W Wrong.11 > Tagfer

Tagfer is the last example of his entire species. That howl... a call for a mate he knows will never respond. How I wish he would just stop.20 > Fib
Come, Tagfer. Let's have you tidy up, hmm? Take your mind off things?30 > Fib
Bird 3? Be a lad and distract Tagfer? I fear he's being devoured by a grief he's only just learned a name for.40 > Fib
Tagfer. Do come along. You are needed and this melancholy is unbecoming.50 > Fib
You. Papa's plan must not be delayed. To work! Use those legs!60 > Fib
Thank you... Bird. Void preserve me from a newly-minted brain and a beginner on the fiddle.70 > Fib
Bird? Be a love and look into the meaning of 'internal monologue'?80 > Fib
Loid, when you've a moment I've prepared an efficiency optimization plan for the Cavia and I believe you'll be pleased by my conclusions.90 > Fib
Loid, you're looking rested. Might there be anything I can assist you with? I have some thoughts on... ah, yes. Of course.100 > Fib
Come come! We have much to accomplish!110 > Fib
There you are. I would speak with you.130 > Tagfer
There's something wrong with the story? Of what happened to us? Something off. Something... fishy.140 > Tagfer
Fibonacci seems to have taken to this whole situation quite well? Better than Bird and I, at least. What do you think of him? Fibonacci, I mean.150 > Tagfer
You're human, like Loid. Like... Papa? Does Papa have a plan? Do you think? That, someday, we'll look back and see that... this was all worth it?160 > Tagfer
Bird... Bird 3's... sweet? I think my... mood... is scaring him. But I don't what to say, how to tell him how this feels.170 > Tagfer
Loid doesn't think much of us, does he? What am I even doing here?BarksZero
10 > HumanLoid
Now that you're here, Tenno, let's put you to work.20 > Bird
That sound Mister Tagfer makes... makes me feel squinchy inside. Makes my eyes prickle. Makes me think of Minn. He misses Minn. I miss her, too.20 > HumanLoid
Please remember to hand in any Voca you encounter. For analysis.20 > Tagfer
(sobbing)30 > Bird
Whaddya use these things for anyway? Mister Tagfer says they solve problems. How do they solve problems? I tried asking them how I could get a bunch of sticks so I could make a nest like I had when I lived in the green thing called a jungle, but they didn't say. Wuk. Rark. Wuk.30 > HumanLoid
One must make the best of things.30 > Tagfer
The bell... everything that happened? I wish I could remember. But it's all just... flashes. Horrible, horrible flashes.40 > Bird
Oh hey! You wanna bang-make-flat? Uh, loud sleepymaker? Y'know, a make-em-go-floppy! Shouty shouty! Ugh. Words.40 > Tagfer
Sorry. I'm... not very good company right now.50 > Bird
Hey. I still got a bunch of that noisy metal wood you like so much. Least I'm told it's noisy. Mister Tagfer says he made it all safe. How do you make wood safe? Is wood not safe? Has Mister Tagfer made all wood safe? What about the wood I made nests from back when I lived in the green thing? Hello? Is wood my friend? Hello? Rark. Wuk.50 > Tagfer
Oh. Hello. Don't mind me. Just... thinking? I don't like it.60 > Bird
Hey, does the sky still exist? Mister Fish-oh-nah-chee just makes weird breathy sounds when I ask. Mister Tagfer says it does. Why can't we see the sky? Can we see the sky? When? Is it when I give you all this noisy metal wood Mister Fish-oh-nah-chee says you need? He says it's important. Why is it important? Can you take it now? Is the reason you can't take it now because you don't have enough arms? Can you get more arms? Hey. Rark. Wuk. Rark. Humph.60 > Tagfer
Oh. Sorry. I... I didn't see you there. Can I... help you?70 > Bird
Hmm, I wasn't me, then I was me. Will I be not me again? When I'm not me will I remember being me? Will I miss me? I think I miss being not me. When I was not me names weren't things. Things weren't things. Everything was anything. When I was not me there was nothing I wasn't. Now I'm just... me. And things are just things. Rark. Wuk. Being a person is hard. I don't feel like me fits in me. Inside me is the wrong size for outside me. Outside me is the wrong size for outside. I wonder if the other mes feel like this. Wuk. Rark. Hm. Rark. I was bigger when I was smaller.70 > Tagfer
(Mating call)80 > Bird
Sometimes, when I try to sleep, I hear noises. Word-noises. Word-noises saying things. Things I don't wanna hear. From the walls. An' I say SHUT UP WORDS! I'M TRYNA SLEEP! Wuk. Wuk. Stupid voices. Wuk.80 > Tagfer
(Mournful lowing)90 > Bird
"So... once I didn't think, now I do. Once I was a what, now I am a who. So what's don't think but whos do. That makes me me and makes you you." If my thinking makes me a who it makes everyone else a who. But I can't see what other whos think... and I'm pretty sure they can't see what I'm thinking... and when Mister Tagfer and Mister Fishonacci tell me what I'm thinking I'm pretty sure they're wrong... so when I think I know what they're thinking I'm probably wrong. So... everybody's wrong about what everybody's thinking so everybody's wrong about who everybody is. I think. So... that means... we should probably stop thinking about it... and just be nice to each other. Wuk. Rark.90 > Tagfer
What do I do? What do I do?100 > Bird

Can I help? I can help! Let me help.120 > Tagfer
Pull it together. Do it for her. Pull it together.Cavia
10 > Albrecht
I employed a variety of Cavia in an attempt to unmake the adversary.
The principle was straightforward enough, though in hindsight I abhor my naivete. My humanity had been unscrolled by the caustic Void and now smirked back at me across the divide, privy to all my unfettered malice and pettiness. In answer, I resolved to hurl into the Void minds that were not human. Let it parody them. The proximity of the bestial would force a humbling devolution, or so I thought.20 > Albrecht
The majority of the Cavia merely died. I gave the Void living beings and it sent me back bedraggled cadavers. The dead lay stacked in pyramids around my deserted lab. I was nothing but a failed priest.
But a glass splinter of stubbornness still stuck in me. And so, I persisted. The correct combination of creatures would work.30 > Albrecht
I realized my error as I sweated by visionary nestawood cinders, beside Loid who curled pale and sick from chewing too much of the root. The catalyst was uniqueness. That attribute was what caught the interest of the bland and undifferentiated Void.
It was not necessary to explore queasy debates about the Oro; animal minds simply lacked the full distinction of a singular persona. My Kalymos, I was sure, was an exception, but I would not sacrifice that loyal being.
Perhaps I should have. The sin I was to commit was worse.40 > Albrecht
The very last breeding pair of Cervulites was smuggled to me, causing Loid no small inconvenience. A species on the brink of extinction. Here was the uniqueness the Void sought. I was certain to the pit of my entrails.
I loaded the pair on to their Seriglass bridal barge, along with an expendable avian and a Norg for mental ballast. Fish, fowl and beast. A facile equilibrium.50 > Albrecht
They did not die, save one. They came back changed. Witnesses. Pilgrims, even, chanting freakish praise to the one beyond the wall.
I knew, then, that my gambit had lost. So long as I worked through scapegoats, my guilt would only deepen. I must atone for what I had done through my own blood.60 > Albrecht
Standard laboratory hygiene would have been to dispose of them. But some instinct stayed my hand. The Voidtongue was an enigma to me, but another - more habituated to the Void than I - might one day unravel it. Through the imposition of form upon the formless they could, perhaps, glean some meaning.
I assigned the Cavia to Loid, for I could not bear to look upon them. Not yet.
Loid is, at heart, a good and kind man - better than I deserve. And completely oblivious to his own true worth.ChooseKey

Albrecht designed the Netracell's Keyglyphs to hobble anyone carrying them.

You or your squad need to grab all four of these Keyglyphs. Pick your poison, pal. I won't lie, there's no version a this that feels good.30 > Tagfer
The Anchorhold, where Albrecht stored the Keyglyphs. Grab 'em. No wrong answers, they all suck. But you're not cracking a Netracell without them.40 > Tagfer
This is gonna hurt. You need all four Keyglyphs from these pillars. Choose your pain. It's the only way to open a Netracell.Duviri
10 > Albrecht
In Duviri, I woke every day to the voice of my daughter. I recoiled from this at first, feeling the sting of conscience. I could not confront, even in semblance, the woman I had abandoned. Instead I reinvented myself as a teacher, advising the child-King of the menace beyond his borders.
But as the days melted away, I came to recognize the strange cast of characters Euleria had created, and their purpose. I heard voices I had myself first conjured in the darkness of her childhood chambers, for no other reward than her delight. She had not only preserved this gift I had thought so trivial, she had made it an instrument of healing. More: a stronghold.20 > Albrecht
Despite my legacy of neglect, despite my shoddy example, my needs, my demands, my daughter had triumphed in my absence. Her confidence, her warmth, shamed me. I had fled from the horror, but she? She had stood alongside the most vulnerable, those with the most to lose, and told them a different story.30 > Albrecht
I did not perceive the significance of Euleria's stance at first. Her concern for the children was not merely pastoral attentiveness. It was a direct strike against the Indifference. She was teaching the weak to be strong in the very places where those cold fingers would reach, and through her act of compassion, spitting in the face of alienation and despair.
Could I do less?40 > Albrecht
Shame is an inert state, but fertile. It primes the mind, bolstering it for repentance.
I had thought to make a difference in Duviri. But Duviri had made a difference in me. My own daughter's creations, reverberating and growing in the womb of the Void, had shown me another path than that of the indulgent coward. I was neither helpless nor irredeemable. Like she had, I could fight.50 > Albrecht
I took inspiration from Euleria's example. To the people of Duviri I bequeathed a legacy of cautionary stories. In them I spoke of fears that an infinity of spirals would not, could not, erase.
I slipped away from those lands, silent and unnoticed. From their joys, their sadnesses. From the celebration in my honor. In her, they already had all they needed. My work, I now understood, must proceed from a different point.ExtermStart

Ah yes. 'Operator', correct? 'Drifter', perhaps? You'll find our merry band share that unconventional relationship with their appellations. I am Fibonacci. Papa's design has uplifted me to function as the coordinating factor of this little group. You... may have heard that one of our number was consigned to Paradise before our return from the Void.

10 > Fib
Heat, cold, toxin, and electricity; 'the elemental forces that create our universe'. To wield them Papa invented the Crucibles, incredible devices capable of fusing these elements into the 'complex elemental forces'. Forces we require to complete Papa's vision. I have marked a Crucible. Go there now.20 > Fib
Papa knew that the path to understanding this universe lay in mastering the elemental forces. So Papa invented the Crucibles, alchemic devices for combining the simple elemental forces into complex forces. Through the Crucibles Papa's work can live on.980 > Fib
Your mission: attrition. The longer you hold out, the weaker the Murmur gets. Make your presence known.990 > Fib

However. Some of us are still allowing the past to exert undue influence upon our minds. Minds Papa gifted to us in order that we might aid in the fulfillment of his grand and masterful plan... ... of which our dear friend Minn's... unfortunate... passing was a... uh, tragic... component.90 > Bird

Netracells... Far as I'm concerned, anything of Papa's is yours. Archon shards. Jewelry. Loose furniture. Secrets.30 > Tagfer
Turns out Papa has a whole family upstairs. A daughter. Grandkids. None of them have any idea about any of... this. If he was hiding them, in the here and now, what was he hiding back in 1999?40 > Tagfer
Whatever Papa touched, the Indifference, the Murmur, I think it's lonely. It wants to be a part of what we've got going on. Only, it doesn't know that. And it does its best to join in, but it's clumsy. Ignorant. So everything about it is... skewed. Half-assed. You follow?50 > Tagfer
Settling the score with Albrecht won't bring Minn back. I'm not stupid. You gotta understand, I'm not doing it for me. Or her. Or Loid, or any of us. I'm doing it because it needs doing.60 > Tagfer
Do you see what I see, over thataway? A monument to something taken from me, forever. When you rebuild Papa's Vessels, rip that one's head off next time.70 > Tagfer
I've kicked dirt. Galloped through sand. But that out there, it isn't of nature. It's just, nothing. It's not natural. Sometimes it looks like Papa's Vessel is sinking in, like... quicksand? But it doesn't move. I hope you can control it.80 > Tagfer
If there's anything in the Netracells about the Vessels, steal it.Vessels
10 > Albrecht
I went among the denizens of the plague year like a savior, my hands filled with healing. To those who volunteered, I brought more than mere health. Their bodies were primed; it needed only the Helminth infusions, brought from my own time, to work the alchemy of transformation. They have become partial Warframes, still in possession of their free will, yet enhanced, Void-attuned, capable.20 > Albrecht
Their humanity may not last. My deliverance may yet consume them, the human swallowed up in the sacred beast. And if my wayward disciples turn on me, what words of comfort shall I have beyond: this is the bargain we have made. Through our sacrifice, history will be saved.30 > Albrecht
As their loyal doctor, I have taken repeated samples from them. The sight of their Technocyte-riddled cells mutating gave me fresh visions. I could take this material, work with it, forge new creations. Eagerly I brought the samples back to Deimos and began to cultivate them.40 > Albrecht
It was Loid who pointed out the singular attributes of the Grey Strain. How it stimulates growth to monstrous dimensions. Many thoughts converged in me then. What if, through precise biochemical engineering, I could create the equivalents of Warframes, yet built to a titanic scale? Surely such a legion could stand against the Adversary... assuming, of course, that an Operator could be found.50 > Albrecht
Not long after, the first of my Vessels took form. A giant to battle giants, merging the humanity of the man Arthur, the anatomical perfection of Ballas's Warframes, and the titanic potency of the Grey Strain. My saviors.WeEnd
10 > Albrecht
All is in readiness. Loid will do as he is bid, though his eyes silently plead with me to choose another path.
As I await my final crossing to the past, I ponder what role a scientist may play in so spiritual a matter as 'absolution'. How in the alchemy of the soul, even repentance must necessarily be a calculated task.
I will repair what I have broken, no more and no less. The scales must balance. And in such a monstrous penitence as this, I shall take no heed of the dust that may fall upon them on either side, the dust of petty lives.
The builders of old tempered their mortar with blood, to appease the most ancient of land-spirits. We should have been so wise. Yet it is not too late to learn.
The sands fall. The circuit completes. I return to the place of the beginning.
Let witless hordes bleat their disdain for every fervent plan;
The deal is done, the die is cast. I end as I began.CollectAmphors

This Crucible requires feeding with the prescribed elemental forces. These can be found within the Amphors. Retrieve them from the Murmur and put them to use. Or, if emergency arises, hurl them at your assailants and observe the results. Stupid mineral things.BarksThree

When the grandchildren were still very small, Kalymos fell sick. I did what I could, but there seemed to be no hope.
Albrecht took Kalymos away, out of our sight. He told us she was recovering, and mustn't be disturbed. And one bright morning, Kalymos came running up to greet us, all better.
I often wondered if he simply cloned her, and the original had died. If he did, he never gave any sign of it. So far as Albrecht was concerned, Kalymos was Kalymos.
I'm glad the Cavia made it, Tenno. I couldn't help Kalymos. But we saved them, didn't we?660 > Bird

Indeed we have - come, Loid, it's named after Papa's favored pet! Spared the rod and spoiled. We know the Fragmented Ones are heralds of the Indifference. We know the Chosen Operator must summon and destroy them. And regrettably, you, Loid, have made this impossible.940 > HumanLoid

Allow me to boil this down for you: should the Indifference's corrupting touch reach us and take back our speech? We would be screwed. So: be a love and eradicate the Murmur in this patch before the big bad gets word that Loid's awake and the fish is talking.1000 > HumanLoid
Tenno... there is some truth to what the... fish... says. That page was the last thing my Albrecht ever wrote. Meant for me. Since I had no interest in reading his endless self-justifications, I hid it away instead. But with all this chaos, it's undetectable.1010 > Fib
So long as the Indifference is missing a digit, it is confined to the strands of Khra. Don't ask, your tiny mind would likely pop under the strain of understanding. This limitation is our one hope.1011 > HumanLoid
Do not patronize the Tenno, fish. The strands of Khra are merely Void-renderings of the chains of cause and effect. Conceptually embodied timelines, if you will.1012 > Fib
