Cassius.
Doctor Grey.
Project Meadowlark facility.

I'm looking for all of them. What do we know?

There is still value in what comes from Cassius, as long as we are critical of the source - but that is true for any source. He has just never been a primary source for me.

I will not argue we are associated with Morningstar, despite it not being a full choice on either group's parts.

I do not think there is one single person behind everything. Even if there is an individual sitting on top, there are always orchestrations that require more hands. Individuals have ears that can be manipulated. Rival organisations, splintered ones. The corporations here are incestuous, I would not be surprised if any string pulling turns out to be the same.

[variate]

There's value in it.
It just means that he knows more than he's telling us. I'd like to know why. If it's just his network of finding things, or if there's something else. He knows more than El.

Everything else is moving at once.

[ he knows that well; it concerns him. ]

Were you in Zerzura?

[evasives]

He is being very picky and choosy with what he tells people, and I do think some of us do not recognize this.

Yes. I assume you were as well.

[variate]

What do you think about what happened?

[ because after this conversation, he feels confident on asking for Cassian's opinion. ]

[evasives]

[ very little bc what is a hiatus that month! ]

I do not know. I think it is on some level connected to the bigger picture, especially knowing some of the people from Zerzura are now here, but the fantasies made it difficult to dive in too deeply.

And you? What do you think about it?

[variate]

I don't know either.
I just know some of us had to die for it.

I want to know why.

[evasives]

For now it is another ongoing mystery.

Is Zerzura something you have been looking more deeply into alongside all these names?

[variate]

The names came out of looking into Zerzura.
It's been bothering me for a while.

[evasives]

And there other significant names you have found?

[variate]

No, but there are some similarities between the dream that people have been talking about and Zerzura.
Not names, but themes.

[evasives]

Like what? What stands out to you?

[variate]

[ this is the part that's hard to explain without knowing the cognitive realm. ]

The spear.
It's the link between Zerzura and the dreams.

[ it was, to his knowledge, the last thing he saw before he had died that day. ]

[evasives]

The spear did make its first appearance before any of us had an inkling for Zerzura, only to show up for real there. What makes you so sure it's the link between them, other than it existing in both?

Were you here for first case of the shared dreams?

[variate]

No. I heard about it from someone else, and that the birds perched on the spear in the dream were spinetails.

Spinetail. The spear.
Now there's a Spinetail in this world. Following the same logic, there should be a spear, too.
