[aurable]

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.

It's only a wild theory; it's still early, so I'm sure as more of us poke around, we'll learn more about this situation, get a clearer picture.

And let's not forget that the other half of the team might be finding interesting information of their own, which we won't know about until comms are back up.

[She is squinting a bit at all of this.]

Are you trying to talk yourself out of your own theory?

It is a valid possibility to keep in mind. The missions have been getting progressively weirder and harder. And don't forget the orbs have personalities and desires. We know at least one of them is willing to play head games with a sad old man for its own amusement. How wild is it, really, to think a couple of them would instigate a war between heaven and hell?

I am not saying it's definitely the answer, either. Just that your idea isn't a bad one.

[winscenario]

Not at all. I do believe it to be a viable theory, I just don't want us to settle on it and not be able to think of anything else, that is all.

But yeah, it's important to keep in mind that these orbs have their own peculiarities, things they might want for themselves. The first few we encountered weren't necessarily 'bad', but the last one sure was different.

[laviny]

Yes. The commander did say the first few were some of the nicer ones. The last one certainly proved that to be true.

[winscenario]

That's true. Makes you almost afraid of what we might find next, doesn't it? If Scorpion's Bend was just the beginning of the worst of them.

[laviny]

Right? I have worried about that, too. I guess it is possible that there are other "nice" ones out there, but I don’t really expect this to be one of them.

[Jusy, you know, based on what she’s seen so far. Things seem pretty grim here.]

[winscenario]

Pitching two sides against each other in a war speaks for itself, whether it's one orb or two.

[laviny]

Yes, that is very true.
