TO: EVERYONE (Posted in morning)

To the Summoned –

Right then, sorry to blast this into all of your eyeballs first thing on this fine morning, but it seemed like the sort of thing most of us would be interested in discussing. We’ll get right to the point.

Some new nonsense is happening with the Singularity. A few weeks ago, Dion and I paid it a visit on the Horizon side. I didn’t offend it but we didn’t get much out of it. In light of recent events, we’ve gone back, and it seems as if it’s feeling a bit more lively now.


In our initial meeting, the only feeling, if one can call it, was a sort of vague recognition of us, particularly so when I made mention of our potential future. My personal experience with the Singularity is quite limited; however, other experiences indicate this is not unusual. What is unusual is this new state of the monolith as of now, a sort of alert consciousness.

Istredd’s taken it upon himself to do some proper follow up, so we’ll let him get on with what he’s found.

The Dimming happens on December 21st of every year but the Singularity starts waning throughout the month of December. It is dormant on that day, enough that people can visit in person. I've been there twice. It is the natural cycle of the Singularity. Cid saying it's feeling a bit more lively is deeply concerning, it is supposed to be slowing down right now.

After hearing about the tremors causing havoc on the outskirts of the crater, I decided to investigate. I had a suspicion. Going inside of the crater around the Singularity kills the natives of this world. We are instead thrown into the Horizon. Many of us experienced that in April during the collective vision we had, when our territories threw us in there.

I am sorry to say my worry was well-founded. The tremors from the Singularity pushed into the territories and the crater has taken ground. I recommend that no one from the Summoned investigate closely. For right now we don't know if this is reflective of what's to come or just a strange one-time incident. I don't want anyone to panic, but we should keep an eye on it.

I currently do not have an answer as to how to stop it or how to force it into dormancy. I know that there are people in our community who have a connection to it. If you could approach it and see if it will communicate anything worthwhile, or see if there is a way to calm it, that might be helpful.


For now, I would recommend those who are near the base of the crater give it adequate leeway. From the amount of power it appears to hold still, we can only estimate it will continue to grow.

Good lad. I'd suggest you approach it from the Horizon side for the time being — no need to risk having more of us trapped for who knows how long.

Of course. You can join me, if that would be easier.

I've been twice already and it hasn't got much interest in me. Do you have some affinity with it? It seems a few of the Summoned do.

I don't know if I would say an affinity...

I felt drawn to it when I first arrived, but it wasn't like it could tell me why. But with time I could sense what it wanted. What it was feeling. It showed me a vision one night, of an attack on Thorne. Others had visions, too. It gave us time to prepare for these-- rifts opening up and dumping creatures from our home worlds into abraxas.

It won't be able to answer me with words, it's never spoken to me before, but maybe I can get us a clearer picture of what it's feeling.

That sounds like plenty to me. Certainly more than any of us have gotten out of it. Anything you can find, we'd be glad to know.
