thirteen : to another galaxy [video]

[Hayley swivels back and forth in her chair a couple times before she stops, leaning forward to talk to the console.]

Hey. So like, normally this is a message I would send privately, but we don't exactly have all those encryptions right now, so.. ignore this if it has nothing to do with you.

Who here knows a lot about where powers come from? I told this guy I'd ask some friends, but I haven't really seen them- you?.. around and I don't want to keep him waiting, you know? People fishing for information need not apply.

[A beat and Hayley glances over her shoulder to the direction of Mark's room. It feels weird talking about this, knowing he's next door.]

Also, does anyone have aluminum foil, potassium bromide, and bleach? I need some.. for a project.

Kedan mystics? Ominous much?

Who are they and how did you find them?

[fearlessherosheart]

When I first arrived, there was a wasting afflicting the turtle, one that affected the powers of the residents. I had sought them out to understand what could be done, and how I could adapt my own sorcery to draw on the turtle's life force.

It was the lady shaman, who I was directed to by the elders of the kedan, who answered my questions. The Turtle's life force generates such power as sustains our abilities, and our very lives on the Turtle. I would question it, except at the time this wasting had affected not only those Foreigners with powers, but the crops and livestock the kedan grow.

Yeah, I was here for the whole rations and everything dying thing, but I don't have powers, so I just helped with the crops.

Does the 'lady shaman' have a name?

[fearlessherosheart]

She was the learned Zihl, who lived in Wood Sector, near the largest of trees.

[everylittlegirl]

Cool, thanks. I'll tell the guy to talk to her.

[fearlessherosheart]

I wish you the best of luck.
