Even in hell, workplace politics find a way.

Keeping this to text because I don't want any potential leads we've gathered being jeopardized if V'rizz or Entr'i figure out we've been spying on them.

Right now, there's an apparent schism between them that could work for or against depending on how deep it runs. Yelena and I managed to overhear their in-fighting, and it seems Entr'i wants to assassinate someone called 'the Highest One.'

She also doesn't seem to vibe with this mysterious Him that V'rizz is so devoted to.

My money's on either of these Vaguest Ones is our orb, and Entr'i is the horse to bet on to hop the fence.

Thoughts? I need us all sharing and caring with information before we go gatecrashing this gentrified heaven of theirs.

Well, wouldn't that just be ironic. God and the Devil just being one ball in a trenchcoat.

It's a very yin and yang theory, but most people believe in some form of that. That everything has a good an a bad side, even people. Light even in darkness, that kind of thing. What if whatever event dragged the orb here made it break into two, and this is its way of putting itself whole again?

[aurable]

Yeah, I've brushed up on my share of that line of thinking in the past.

Well, I've heard of more convoluted ideas. Think it's talking to any of them?

[winscenario]

I don't know. So far, I'd say both these entities are keeping themselves isolated, and I figure there's a good reason to keep their identity a mystery. It is interesting that they seem to inspire themselves in a concept similar to Earth's old notions of Heaven and Hell, though.

[aurable]

Yeah, the aforementioned assassination schemes would be a big one.

Not even a notion but a physical concept monetized and peddled to the masses. They mentioned reincarnation, how do you figure they handle that?

[winscenario]

If they are indeed worried any of the people here could cause them real damage.

You might be asking the wrong guy, my knowledge of religion or anything even remotely related is generalized at best. I just try not to make assumptions or offend anyone. That said, I don't believe reincarnation to be possible, so I'd always try to go for a more scientific explanation. But as we have seen in the past, it's possible there's more to it than just science.

I wouldn't even call the question a theological one when we're standing amidst indisputable evidence that something happened after death, at least with the local populace.

Either this really is the afterlife for them or

I don't know

a program?

[winscenario]

I hope not. We've had enough of that particular kind of messy scenario on our last mission, just you mentioning it is giving me goosebumps.

[ Not literally, but well, Drift gets his meaning. It wasn't a pleasant end of mission for either of them, certainly. ]

It's too early to tell yet. But I think we've gotten some good information, we should focus on getting comms back up and see what the other half of the team has found out and go from there.
