A world's support

[Anastasia]

"I'm not sure I understand it, either," Miranda says, wryly.

"It sounds useful. A flying crystal fortress?" Kaja muses, "A valuable type of crystal or gemstone?"

[Yuthirin]

'We'd need to find a deep crystal large enough to house self-supporting psionic matrices. Stuff enough power into it and it'll start to think for itself.'

"EXPERIMENTS!" Calleigh cheers.

[Anastasia]

Xandra hums at that, "Interesting. What sort of psionic mind is it?"

Meanwhile Dana says, "Wait, what's that shit about the Triune?"

[Nephrite]

"Hm..." Moore taps his chin. "Well, I know when I visited Mineral once, they had stones there that were effectively harmonizing music. Crystalle might be able to point you in the direction of some sort of psionic material like that." He says. "Other than that... mm, I don't know if you could find the material itself in Celestia, but I bet a wander around the mountain would get you pointed in the direction of what you're looking for too."

He blinks and then looks at Dana. "Oh, back when we were on Aurora, I helped Tryll become a paragon. All three of us -- Tryll, Calleigh and myself, ended up being blessed by them because of it." He explains, as if it was totally normal for this to have happened.

[Yuthirin]

'Wait, which Triune?'

[Yuthirin]

To Xandra, 'I have no idea, and that is the exciting part. It could be any kind of mind. Kind, cruel, playful, completely mad, who knows?'

[Nephrite]

"...The one that made you a paragon. Have you gone senile in your old age?" Moore asks.

[Yuthirin]

'The Triune god of the irrigo?' Tryll asks. 'You do know it's not the same as the modern Triune, right?'

[Nephrite]

"Well, which one made you a paragon?" He counters. "Just ask that one for help."

[Yuthirin]

'Also no. I can't go senile. I'm technically already dead. I happen to make two million look very good, thank you. And I 've tried. I was as shocked as anyone when the Triune God actually contacted us in the ritual. The last I heard from them, they were destroying my home plane. Over two million years ago.'

[Anastasia]

"I'm confused," Kaja says, "So there's an old Triune that destroyed your world?" He bares his teeth, "Why?!"

Meanwhile Xandra listens, bowing her head in thought.

[Nephrite]

"Well, maybe you should try the other one and see if they're willing to help." Moore says. "But, failing that, I know Celestia isn't exactly the most chaotic place, but as a friend of mine, I can assure you that you'd find what you're looking for if you look for it here."

He turns to Dana at that. "And you wouldn't have to avoid being a potty-mouth, either."

[Yuthirin]

'Long story. Aboleth invasion we weren't created with the capacity to repel. Our god chose to destroy the plane and ascend most of us in order to eradicate millions of aboleths in an unprecedented and as-yet-unmatched genocidal rage. Five of us refused the offer of ascension. Bodies died, here we are.' Tryll summarizes. 'There's a LOT of detail not in there. It was the right decision, though.'

[Yuthirin]

"Asking Dana not to swear is like asking a fish to learn how to ride a bicycle. You need the right application of peanut butter to make it work!" Calleigh is helping.

[Yuthirin]

'You know.' Tryll says. 'Maybe I haven't been asking the right people. You're right, Moore. Technically, Calleigh and I work for Queen Morwell. I've never asked her for anything, though. It's worth a shot.'
