[quote] Dreams of Alpha Lupi
The knife had a million blades.
And you were giant, powerful and swift. But the knife pinned you. Cut your godly flesh away.
Very little was left, you are sure, because you feel insignificant now. The hard slick heart of your soul: That is what remains. A body small as a river stone, and just as simple. You picture yourself as a piece of indigestible grit, a nameless nothing hiding among other nameless stones. Perhaps you glitter like a gem, yes. Pride makes you hope so. If only you could see yourself. But you have no eyes. Not the dimmest sense survives. What lives is memory, and what slim portion of these thoughts can you trust?
The knife stole much more than your body.[/quote]
Ghost Fragment: The Traveler 3
When else would it have been incapacitated?

That has [u]nothing[/u] to do with wanting to stand and fight with the help of its "children". Traveler card 1 describes finding its children. Those "children" could have been any of - or all of - thousands of civilizations that it gave Golden Ages to in hope of standing and fighting.

Defer civilization kill.[/quote] The more I look at this transcript, the more I begin to believe in your conjecture. [spoiler]It is, after all, only conjecture, as theory would imply that we had more evidence to support this.[/spoiler] Particularly [quote]Coerce pseudoaltruistic [O] defensive action.[/quote] As if the Traveler believes or wants to believe it is its own will to fight here. [quote]Unless... you are being pushed.[/quote] Pushed from both sides, perhaps.
