Extracts from a Nuntian diary of one Siria Liam, Elder of Ordo Voluptas from the Most Esteemed Order of Techmancers

The 553rd year of our lord Aerus, December 2nd | 01:22

The recoding begins with the sound of something heavy scraping against the metal panels of the floor, repeatedly.

Lady Aulos: "Ms. Liam I believe you wished to have a conversation."

Elder Liam: "..."

Lady Aulos: "I see."

The sound of something whirring punctuates the exchange of words.

Siria sniffles

Elder Liam: "What are you showing her?"

???: "..."

Elder Liam: "I see."

The 553rd year of our lord Aerus, December 2nd | 02:17

Elder Liam: "Is it over?"

???: "..."

Siria sighs

Elder Liam: "I know, but for now we had a deal."

The 553rd year of our lord Aerus, December 2nd | 02:20

Elder Liam: "Please don't leave..."

The 553rd year of our lord Aerus, December 2nd | 09:30

Elder Liam: "I thought we had this fucking nightmare on lockdown. First the senses and now we cannot trust our feelings? That is the ONE thing us Voluptas are supposed to be masters in."

???: "..."

Elder Liam: "For Arius's sake, I am not going to calm down. The next *thing* that fucks with my children gets to see just how unstable I can be."

???: "..."

Brother Fortunatus: "Alcyon will approach the target on a low orbit..."

Elder Liam: "Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fucking fuck... Fine! I get it. It makes sense, thank you. We'll study the enemy and learn to think and act like a Gloomridden Voluptas nanosludge meat-thing. Maybe that will keep us safe when the shit hits the fan next time."

???: "..."

Elder Liam: "Sure, remind me again when I get some one on one time with Su-Mi. She seemed to like the sludge and her mind can't really get any more tilted than it already is. That girl is really something isn't she."

???: "..."

Elder Liam: "Hey! Don't you dare to compare me to her! And besides aren't you supposed to be the one with stability issues?"

Stomp, stomp, stomp!

Elder Liam: "Remind me, how are we here again?"

???: "..."

Stomp, stomp, stomp!!!

Elder Liam: "I know, I know, technically you were never here, but let's not bog down to details. You know exactly what I mean. We left this place for good and we meant it."

???: "..."

'Stomp, stomp, stomp!!!!!'

Elder Liam: "I mean, it's not that I hate... Can we shut this thing up?"

???: "..."

Elder Liam: "Good job, five stars, I'll write a gleaming review in the Nuntian boards."

The 553rd year of our lord Aerus, December 2nd | 11:41

Elder Liam: "I mean, is this place weird or just, you know, Free Portian?"

???: "..."

Elder Liam: "The fruit is good, though."

The 553rd year of our lord Aerus, December 2nd | 11:55

Elder Liam: "Yeaaaaaah, definitely both weird, Free Portian and absolutely heretical. Just a teeny tiny bit scary too. Elder Grigory seems to agree judging by the haunted look he is giving."

???: "..."

Elder Liam: "I guess so."

Elder Liam: "Aulos! A warehouse full of Gloomwalkers in ice is definitely heretical, right?"

The 553rd year of our lord Aerus, December 2nd | 13:22

Elder Liam: "What a way to get a girl's blood running. Heroics, Gloomwalkers and the slaughter of innocents. The last one is a bit regrettable, but the Rimore implied heretics so I guess it's ok.

???: "..."

Elder Liam: "Yeah yeah, it's my crime and not Rimore's. But hey, fuck the Rimore. I ain't gonna think any better of them even if one of them reminds me of myself."

Elder Liam: "Speaking of rodents, how do you like our new but ancient all-consuming deathly-swarming ship feline?"

The Red Angel: purr

Elder Liam: "Yeah, I like it too."
