THE DARK SAJA — COVEN CHANNEL. EN ROUTE TO N'ORLANDO. A Shrine of the Whills has been found in the Port of Call. The Coven is coming.

[Automated notice. Opened at the request of the Saja Order before the Aurora sails. The Order asked for a second channel. It did not explain why.]

DARK SAJA MALIG RUMOT has entered the conversation.

MALIG — Malig Rumot. I speak for the Coven, and the Coven is on its way to N'Orlando. A Shrine of the Whills has been unearthed there. Things that are unearthed were buried by someone. We intend to learn what they were hiding.

MALIG — Some of you sat with a Saja aboard the Halcyon and were taught to move a stone gently. Gently. As though the stone had feelings. We are of the same Order as that Saja, and we have never once asked a stone how it felt.

MALIG — The Light Saja have their meditation. We have our methods. Both work. Ours work faster.

DARK SAJA LODD has entered the conversation.

LODD — Lodd. I hold the lore, the debts, the names. Lore first: a Shrine of the Whills is not a chapel. The Light will kneel at it and call that reading. We will not kneel.

LODD — Debts next: the Light Saja will tell you the Shrine is theirs to protect. Diggers found it this year. It may be older than the Saja Order — Light and Dark alike. Nothing that old belongs to whoever arrived first with a broom.

MALIG — Another Circle of the Order is on the road to N'Orlando. They will tell you we are loud. We are not loud. We are audible. There is a difference, and it is the whole difference.

LODD — Names last: you have heard two of ours. The rest of the Coven is en route to Niamos now. Even all together, we are a rumor. We are here to become a fact.

MALIG — So come and stand on our side of it. Two hours on this voyage, taking the Shrine's secrets rather than asking for them. The Coven leads; you do the taking. Meet us at the Shrine of the Whills at Faction Recruitment on Thursday evening (10/15), in the Port of Call. The Light will be there too. Stand on the side that is not kneeling.

LODD — Bring one Mission Token. One Token, one Mission Pin, and a Pin is your place on one specific run. When a run's Pins are gone, that run is closed. You can tell the Nav which Missions you preregister for and it will help you keep track. What you claim is yours to remember. I do not carry anyone else's burdens.

MALIG — Come with your hands clenched tightly. The Shrine will know the difference. So will we.

LODD — Thursday 10/15. Do not be late. I will remember. I remember everything; it is the job.

MALIG — The Coven is on its way. Do not make us look for you.
