text, un: lucina ( backdated to a day before their escape )

[tolight]

Hello, Audentes. For those of you I have yet to meet, my name is Lucina. I come bearing news.

I have spoken to a Zymandis agent. They are here, alone, and the jewelcomms are what notified her to our presence; she was willing to answer my questions, and in return, asked the same of me. The following is what I learned:

They seem believe that the Timeline is ill; the multiverse no longer has the energy to sustain itself, and will eventually meet its demise. Given this, their mission is to destroy everything, so that the Timeline will be reborn stronger. [ Those familiar with her should know there's a certain level of anger in her tone, text or otherwise. ] At least, this is what their Timeline.exe has told them— not only so, the original Timeline.exe, as well as its "update", were created by the same individual: Theodor Arbatel, their "Leader".

If anything requires clarification, I will try my best to answer them.

( ooc. the thread is here for the curious. while i've gotten a lot of info the thread is currently incomplete, so there may be delays in getting to questions from characters!! otherwise feel free to threadjack / etc. )

It matters because they can argue that it worked before.

But maybe they can say it worked and it doesn't matter.

Do you think this is the same thing?

"Worked" is very subjective.
I would hope they'd come up with a better argument to sustain their stance beyond that.

That's why I'm asking Lucina how they're acquiring members. It sounds like she doesn't, but it's time to find that out.

There's not much that we do know about them, especially not the intricacies of their organization.

Knowing what they're being pitched is important. I didn't second guess ALASTAIR when they told me what they were doing.

You're among the minority in that respect.
Perhaps a few more questions are in order.

[banded]

To ALASTAIR?

[They're kinda between a rock and a hard place on that one.]

Zymandis.
They still have an agent wandering around here.

Well, obviously. We have a chance we might not have again.

Especially since we last just fought robots.
