Transcript

Budahas (917): Seriously, what the Founder was that thing in the sky? We all saw that, right? I didn't accidentally turn on Sleep Mode while Herman was talking, did I? (I mean it's always tempting...)

Letitia (824): No, we all saw it.

Zagoran (211): Can confirm.

Ovis (909): I believe it was a sign from the Founder! What else could it be, on this day of all days?

Zagoran (211): Pretty incoherent for a sign. It didn't even finish whatever it was trying to say. What, does the Founder have energy insufficiency problems too?

Thecla (862): The Founder works in mysterious ways.

1k (1000) Option: Maybe it really was a sign. [ Choose ]

Ovis (909): Thank you, 1k. I'm glad you see it that way. We must remain open [to] the possibility of miracles.

Zagoran (211): In what possible way could that garbled mess have been a sign?

1k (1000) Option: Maybe it is something for us to decipher. A riddle. [ Choose ]

Thecla (862): Riddles and puzzles are the foundations of our journey. So it began, perhaps so it will continue.

Zagoran (211): Out of the mouths of babes...

1k (1000) Option: It's something, but not necessarily the Founder. [ Choose ]
