>Hodch's tone and hard expression at him definitely noticed, Astral sighs in a muted crackle."A long stick. Stare until boredom, then find another interesting object to stare at next, repeat until asleep."
"Least you remember that much."
>Regarding your words with a swirling appearance, probably meant to be thoughtful, the soloform makes a polite dismissal gesture."In your defense you had no understanding or concept of Rift symbiotes. Mine is fairly limited from more or less detailed observations, reports, and chatter. As you did not know then no blame can be ascribed. However, you will find it difficult to truly kill a Construct. Unless fully destroyed though magma, Void, or similar methods, they are remarkably resilient."
>Side eyeing the Elemarental in humorous theatrical disdain, Hodch mimics pushing a lever with the left forehoof, teeth clicking twice, then imitates wind blowing and an unsubtle crashing noise."It isn't the fall that hurts, it's the elevator suddenly stopping either from a safeguard or reaching rock bottom.
If you want instruction on the Rift's more objectively known facts, get Mercy and Twisted together for a few lectures. Or Dancing Eyes when she's in a good mood. Most of my knowledge deals with the baffling variety of barriers and shields, though Rift Carriers, Repair models, Landers, odd weapons, unique pairs, and peculiar sightings are my hobby."
"That could range from everything to... not quite everything."
>Both unicorns sitting back to digest the information given, 'Shiibo' enters startup phases, blinking and immediately bringing up diagnostics.'I do not.. feel good. That should not be possible. I am not directly connected to sensor interfaces, modules, or suites capable of simulating nausea.
Performance degradation reported: moderate. Restoring data archives and isolated sectors, then cross-referencing.'

So you and most of Razorback haven't had any contact with Horizon whatsoever. That's bizarre to put it mildly. Not sure whether to be confused or relieved. Think I'll stick with both for right now."
"Agreed. ...I'm still going to Void nuke that bastard's world no matter what anyone or anypony says. They can sue me in Planar court afterwards. Capital V will be all too pleased."
>Giving Hodch the Void equivalent of a 'what did you just say' glazed look, Astral Legacy's front legs fold over his chest as the Reservist continues."Details regarding Memorial Village are correct. It puzzled me how many humans were utterly ignorant to what was written, and the after action report was quite bizarre. Luna spent half the Night piecing together what did occur, and.. hold on-"
>Tapping his chest, the biological stallion frowns, head twisting upwards before instantly turning Moonlight pale."Yes, it's me. ......she did
WHAT!? Stop her!"
"Is that Twisted Wing?"
"Yes it is, an- .....WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE'S TALKING!? Since when!? ....she was halfway insane before th- ..are you POSITIVE somepony isn't trying t-"
>Lowering the volume and distractedly making a text only record, the avatar puts a 'Do Not Want' sticker above her head while Astral speaks in an unusually soft echo."Colossal gaps remain unanswered. My primary concern was the lost, separated, disconnected, distant, and presumed deceased humans had sought her out, yet you experienced precisely zero indications of that possibility.. excluding the likelihood of
one. I may aid Hodch in rendering one planet an uninhabitable wasteland.
The partially restored Solar Tyrant shard she had overcome and her soul-bonded earth ponies did not leave instructions. That is utterly opposite of her standard methods. If they had done so there would have been an immediate information spread followed by disappearances and agents being set within Razorback. I can only attribute that disruption to Sweet and the Empress.
What confounds me is what happened to her agents. I estimated well over one hundred and sixty thousand. Numerous city blocks of Las Pegasus were thoroughly saturated by Anti, though none were close to the Rogues or Elites. Much the same with sections of... Stalliongrad. Hm."
>Lines marking his eyebrows raise, lower, then arch heavily in thought."You may have inadvertently isolated two factors which were previously ignored.. Clarion Call, possibly Serra. I would prefer to know know where both are soon, but I will cross-reference Lonestar's experiences first. The start of a multi-tiered search pattern will be- no. That may be it. I believe Shanis was able to physically
injure her.
Allow me to consider for a time."

"
