I'm excited. [i]"Qinziq blocks the entrance into her lab. It had been hastily transferred from Leviathan to Glykon after our procurement of the ship; all manner of vicious-looking machinery. She raises a finger to my face. Her language restructures in my mind. "You do not belong here." "I need to know exactly what you're using them for." "Why? They are animals. Our beasts of burden." I ponder the ethics. They used to be something else, a deadened part buried and ignored… but… "Such concern for a Hunter." She meant to pin me to Cayde. "Ain't any different from defiling a corpse. You people honor your dead, don't you?" 'I do not answer to you,' Qinziq seethes into my mind. She brushes me away and moves to shut the door. "Bahto does. His soldiers do. Do you want to politely ask the Scorn into confinement, or do you want to be straight with me?" She scowls at me. "Where is your Ghost?" "Hangar maintenance…" "Come," Qinziq says, leading me inside the lab to a bundle of large vats adorned with all manner of pumps and wiring. "This…" she slides a viewing port open on the front-most vat. Rabid Scorn eyes lock with mine through the view port. Dark fluid roils as the creature flails and fumes muted shrieks into the liquid. "Natural connection to Darkness made stronger. Their minds, linked like ours, but without Barons, there is nothing to fill them." I watch it claw frantically against the vat wall until I hear the grating tone of bone-raw fingertips digging into the metal. "A touch more violent than I'd expect from a mindless thing," I say. "They subsist off the last thought imposed on them. Kill for Fikrul. For the lost prince. But…" Qinziq presses her hand to the tank. She fixates her eye on the Scorn, and it mellows. Her words are strained. "…with effort, their psyche is a vessel. Through which many expressions can… commune." She releases the Scorn, exhausted, and it drowns again; eyes shrieking terror. "Too many for this one to inhabit." "How does that help us?" "Calus will draw the Darkness into them, and we will squeeze from them all they know." "How?" I insist. "When we arrive at the anomaly, you will see.""[/i] Katabasis, [b][i][u]"She meant to pin me to Cayde"[/u][/i][/b]. I always wondered what this meant.
