The Gravemind's dialogue in Silentium was fcking [i]bone-chilling[/i].
[quote]"Our urge to create is immutable; we must create. But the beings we create shall never again reach out in strength against us. All that is created will suffer. All will be born in suffering, endless grayness shall be their lot. All creation will tailor to failure and pain, that never again shall the offspring of the eternal Fount rise up against their creators. Listen to the silence. Ten million years of deep silence. And now, whimpers and cries; not of birth. That is what we bring: a great crushing weight to press down youth and hope. No more will. No more freedom. Nothing new but agonizing death and never good shall come of it. We are the last of those who gave you breath and form, millions of years ago. We are the last of those your kind defied and ruthlessly destroyed. We are the last Precursors. And now we are legion."[/quote]

Chills man, chills. I just might pick up this book.

This! That whole part of the book was amazing!

I didn't think it actually was the gravemind who said that. It was the Precursor called "The Timeless One", which I thought was never actually confirmed, nor denied however, to be a gravemind.

This is said by the Gravemind who captures the Ur-Didact in the Burn in Silentium, the physical form of the Timeless One was destroyed by the IsoDidact in Primordium - though, as we know, the memories and experiences of a Gravemind are ever-present in the Flood.
