[ AUDIO | JOINT POST ] OPEN COMMUNCATION BETWEEN SEDORUM AND TAEUM ;

[After numerous attempts at getting a hang of Taeum’s particular use of talisman arrays, Hermann has finally cracked the code to allow open communication between Orbers in both Taeum and Sedorum.

The transmission starts off shaky, at first. The white noise soon reveals the British voice of (1) resident engineer.]


Hello?! This is Doctor Hermann Gottlieb! Are there any Ximilia crew members not currently stationed on Taeum?


[Another voice cuts in then, just as staticky. This one sounds rather posh and aristocratic, but there’s a real relief there.]

This is Percival Fredrickstein von Musel Klossowski de Rolo III. [Yes, he got all that out in a single breath. He’s had years of practice.] Yes, there’s plenty of us in Sedorum—I can’t tell you just how good it is to finally hear from your side of things. Any news?


[Hermann takes a short pause for a breath.]

I will leave that to my colleagues, Percival. Best not risk passing out in the next five minutes from an information overload. [Quick beat.] But I believe I’ve managed to bridge the link between communication channels between crew members in both locations. A little tricky at first fiddling with talismans and symbols of all things but I’ve managed to develop an application that will work on all crew-wide devices.

It will be listed under the Talisman Handshake Inter-Communicative Channel. We can communicate with each other but none of the other personnel from either Taeum or Sedorum will hear us.


[Percy pauses for a moment, processing the application name.]

So—THICC, then? That sounds good to me. [He sees no problems with that name whatsoever.] I spoke to Entr’i, by the way—the leader of Sedorum’s military forces, such as they are. She’s very determined to bring Taeum crashing down, and she’s obtained what she calls, and I quote, “magic powerful enough to stop the best of arrays”.

[A beat. Deadpan:] So, good news, we know who has the orb, and who was responsible for the communications jam in the first place. The bad news is—well, I’ll let my colleagues here speak to that, I’ve been mostly focused on this problem.


Likewise. Then I will keep this channel open and have the rest take it from here. Let’s hope that no further drastic measures are to be taken at this stage. Although I’m already beginning to have my doubts.

That makes the two of us. I’ve a feeling this won’t end well. [A sigh.] Be careful, Dr. Gottlieb.

[Holy shit, this is amazing.]

I do not know either one of you personally, but this is very good. Excellent.

Nicely done, Doctor Hermann Gottlieb and Percival Fredrickstein von Musel Klossowski de Rolo III.

A quick question for people in Taeum: How full of sinners is Heaven?

Lord in Heaven, you're both geniuses.

Mr. de Rolo, do you know if Jim Kirk is in Sedorum with you?

( Yeah yeah he'll get to mission intel in a hot minute. )

Yelena, it's good to hear your voice.

( Hermann's already answered her, but he adds, sharply: )

There are plenty of good, innocent people and children here that keep far from the godforsaken assholes. I'm guessing there's a fair amount of decent folks in Sedorum, too.

How are you holding up?

Sedorum is mostly made up of desperate poor people, to be honest.

I am okay. Just irritated by this entire set up.

( He makes a noise of deep distaste. )

That's exactly what it is, a set up. Could be the "Purgatory" I've heard about here is the actual afterlife of Giva.

[That's actually very impressive, because even Percy's friends have trouble pronouncing the whole thing, and this girl just rattles it all off no problem.]

You're quite welcome. I'm sure Taeum is full to the brim with assholes, people with money and titles tend to be unpleasant to deal with. [Says Percy, a person with money and titles and guns. After a moment, he adds, with some self-deprecation:] I ought to know.

You're quite welcome. [He says this with all the confidence of someone who knows he's a brilliant genius. As for the rest, though, he sobers up:]

I can't say for certain. I haven't met him, but if he's not in Taeum, he may well be here instead.

Thank you.

[ And he's just gonna stare at this post to see what Sedorum replies come through, particularly for the doctor up there.

But uh-- ]


But... I could swear that I feel the Orb in Taeum...

Whatever I'm feeling, I'll look into it.

[ And what an adventure that's about to be. ]

FINNN!!!! Are you all right?

[ Someone is happy to heard from you, man. ]

Did you, now, uh...I'm starting to think there might be two orbs? Entr’i hadn't been in the city for as long, and when she got here, she immediately started to rally people to build an army to storm Taeum. Maybe that's why she wants to go there so badly.

Aah, it's good to hear your voice, Doctor. Great work, you two.

[ Shortly after that: ]

Assuming there are those on Taeum's side of things who have been working on moving up in ranks in their military, we should probably talk. I've heard of leaked strategies on your end I'd like to confirm the validity of, for one.

And if we're not going to be able to avoid both sides clashing in the near future, we can at least work together from here and see what can be done by way of using what we know about each side to mitigate damage and casualty. Or influence things enough to make obtaining the orb... orbs...? easier for us.

[She's putting all those years of spy training to good use. It might also help that the name sounds kind of Eastern European, which is where she’s from.]

I am taking it that means you are someone with money and titles? Or maybe you have just done a lot of business with them. But the name is very fancy.

Yes, I am going to second Peter Quill. Jim Kirk also expressed a theory that there might be two orbs, and I think it is worth considering.

Oh, that might make some sense. The whole system as we are seeing it seems pretty stupid.

[personal profile] whitestonelives 2022-03-18 01:19 pm (UTC)(link)
My family has money, titles, and a city in our care, yes. It's how I know people like us can be rather shitty people—if we can throw our money around to gain access into heaven, we would.

[And Percy is counting himself among said shitty people.]

That being said, there's plenty of assholes down here too, as well as plenty of innocent people who don't deserve to be here. Taeum doesn't have a monopoly on shitty bastards.

There are assholes everywhere. I am just verifying my point that in this world where you end up in the afterlife isn't a real judgement on anyone's moral character.

[Since, you know, there have been some orbers thinking they were put here because of their sins and not because the whole thing is a scam.]

At least in this system. I'm still not sure if the cycle is the natural order of things here or something perpetuated by the orb. Or orbs.

[Since multiple orbs might be a thing here.]

Well done to the both of you. Medals all around when we get back to the station.

[ For all his sarcasm, Megatron does sound a bit relieved to be back in touch with the rest of the team. ]

I've been working on making myself valuable to Entr'i and the Sedorum forces, so there may be an inroad there we can take advantage of. I must confess I find their cause more than a little compelling.
