[Fandaniel has spent the last few days attempting to learn about the world's past. Now that Aldrip is no longer literally or figuratively on fire it's the closest thing he can get to relaxing. In his research, he's looked over old network posts and...

The feed starts with his sharp icy cackle. It continues for a few seconds before subsiding into a harsh giggle that Fandanial gasps around.]

Ahahaha!

W-was anyone intending to inform me that a man called Emet-Selch once walked this star or was I supposed to learn this on my own?

[There is a rattle of chains and rustle of fabric as he flops onto his back. His voice is more faint and distorted by echo.]

It makes a man wonder how and why the AI picks the people it does. How many others have been here that I should know about? That we should know about?

...How many of them lived among the Chosen who were absorbed into the simulation and are now forever lost to us?

Haa...haha...

So many questions, so many questions!

I knew the man as well as he ever allowed himself to be known which was very little.

But never mind that.

He is less interesting to me than the fact that he's been here. I've heard of many on this star who have shared home worlds but this is the first I've seen anyone from my own...

Do you suppose the AI finds it simpler to strike different worlds multiple times?

[solitarysoul]

Maybe? I guess it knows where a world is if it finds someone there.

[Assuming it wasn't completely random...and that the thing knew how to tell 'where' things were at all.]

[endcaller]

Or at the very least that said world has no shortage of sinners for it to abduct.

[solitarysoul]

Or people to just take and claim they committed some sin or crime.

[A number of people here really shouldn't be if this was a jail or a punishment.]
