Mac'Od bitty looks with appreciation at the copied reports of the recent event, then looks at the bill from the Scribes Guild and shudders. Time to start talking to the overseers about doing some contract work for them. Still, good work is worth the cost, and this work is very good. Full color lumios with proper shading adorn the pages. He tips the apprentice then signals a young homin to post the reports in all the cities.

To all who may see this, greetings from Mac'Od Bittty. This is my report on the happenings recently at Sandy Workshop in Liberty Lakes. I am expecting more lumios to be delivered momentarily. When they are, I will post them.

I awoke to the strident "caw" of three Izams, each bearing a message that I should come at once to Sandy Workshop to witness what was going on there. Swimming as fast as I could, I arrived upon the site to see three of the hovering craft of the Karavan in the air, Karavan Engineers and Guards gathered around the strange artifact that had fallen there, and a large crowd of my fellow homins.

I immediately started making lumios of what was happening. The Karavan Engineers had set up four new devices at the four quarters of the area around the mysterious artifact that had crashed to the surface of Atys. I have marked them in my first lumios.


One (Mysterious objects placed around the original mysterious object.)

It was difficult to see much at the time, due to the fact that as a Tryker pretty much everyone gets in the way to a greater or lesser extent.


Two (A Tryker's eye view of the situation.)

I moved to get a good view of the artifact just as a great noise sounded and a brilliant light appeared in front of me. The sound and light reminded me very much of the Rainbow Gates that were used during the Second Great Swarming to take us refugees from the Kami Oasis to the Refuge where we dwelt for eight years.


Three (A great noise and light. You can see one of the new objects silhouetted.)


Four (Then there is only dust and smoke.)

The assembled homins were stunned by the suddenness of the action, and the ship above the debris immediately began to move away. The Karavan Engineers and guards walked until they were underneath another one of the ships.


Five (And the ship that was hovering over the site begins to move off.)


Six (The engineers began to move off. I followed but looked back at the site.)

They stood there for a moment, then the characteristic appearance of a Karavan teleportation action appeared around them and they vanished.


Seven (The Karavan are taken into their ship.)

Following that, the ships began to move, slowly at first, then more rapidly. Homins, of course, followed, hoping to discover more about the mysterious Karavan.


Eight (The ships begin to move.)


Nine (All three ships start to move off.)


Ten (Making quick pictures as homins start to chase the ships.)


Eleven (As the ships move off, homins follow. (Eleven through Thirteen.))

We followed the ships for some time, but the ships moved through the air faster than we could move through the water.


Fourteen (Following the ships down the lake. (Fourteen through Sixteen))

Eventually they disappeared from sight.


Seventeen. (My last view of the Karavan ships.)

Submitted for the education of all of the homins of Atys. I will not here speculate on the nature of the artifacts, the intent of the Karavan or anything else.

I must agree about the luciograms, they are beautiful... it probably has something to do with the landscape and perfect weather at the time they were taken.

I'm a bit disappointed that you couldn't catch a close up shot at the mysterious objects placed by the Karavan to remove the mysterious object that crashed in Sandy Workshop. Maybe you should hire the services of a Zorai luciographist for next time ? They have a higher point of view that could very well be exploited in such crowded circumstances...

But oh well ! Curious homins will be curious. I'm happy to have such images to contemplate after being absent due to some work that had to be done elsewhere for a food merchant.

Actually, I was maneuvering to the front of the crowd to get a closer look at the additional artifacts when they were removed. The best view I got was of the additional device silhouetted against the light.

Mac'Od Bittty contemplates his shrinking pile of dappers, and arranges to have more lumios posted to the boards. Nair-Meggy had produced some views that were from an entirely different direction from the ones he had drawn. Perhaps some scholar would actually be able to get information from them. They did have some good views of what Salazar had called teleportation enhancers.

To all noble homins who read this, greetings:

Here are additional lumios of the events, done by nair-Meggy. They illustrate some additional facets of what happened which I was unable to record. Of particular interest is the last picture which seems to show details of Karavan teleportation in action.

The original artifact, and the approaching Karavan vessel. The engineers are guarding the artifact.


Meg_1

The additional artifacts appear, linked to the sky by beams of energy. Note that they seem to be resting on platforms of the Karavan teleportation action. This has been previously seen only in the teleportation of homins.


Meg_2

The additional artifacts, without the teleportation platforms. Note the hovering platforms typical of Karavan presence.


Meg_3

Meggy got a different angle on the additional artifacts. Ser Salazar has called them teleportation enhancers in a private note..


Meg_4

The removal of the artifact. Note that the brilliant light appears to be moving across the object, not enveloping it. Note also the characteristic "teleportation platform" of the Karavan hovering over the teleportation enhancers.


Meg_6


Published for the good of all noble homins who may come to study such lore.

Indeed, Bitty, thanks a lot to your efforts. And let me know if I can support your work with materials, so you don't have to pay with your own dappers when informing other homins. Your work is important.

So. Now, what do we've got here?

Something crashes down from the sky like a big falling star. It smolderes the ruins of Sandy Workshop to rubble. Lots of homins could find artifacts which could be made to work again - to some degree. Those were scanning some "frequencies" (whatever that actually means) and then synchronizes "data". I suppose that refers to messages. But we don't yet know what those messages were all about.

Then, the Karavan appear with engineers and the lot, and take everything that's alien to us. Probably they hauled it back into their ships and then went away quicker than we could follow.

This is all strange. Very strange. I have travelled far and wide. I have survived the Kitins during the second swarm somehow while I stayed behind, not following Elias through those weird rainbow portals. My mind still blocks of most of the memories of that period, which I must surely have. But yet all of these happenings are really ... unfathomable, alien.

What is it, that the Karavan are doing here? What is their agenda? I have yet to ponder about this. As of now I will not help the Karavan with any tasks they might want any help with as long as they do not disclose what it is they are doing here.

We homins must find ways to look beyond the surface of Atys. Maybe the Karavan live on the roots in the sky. But maybe they live even higher up - in the sky itself. Since the object was burning so intensely, it could not possibly start its descend from those upper roots. It must have come from farther away.

What do you think?

#8 [en] 

And do you know, fellow homins, what's even stranger than the objects and the Karavan?

Our leaders and the Kami!

Just think of the tumultuous happenings if I were to sit down in Fairhaven and start a fire. Now the Karavan caused a fire and lots of broken palm trees in Sandy Workshop. But since it seems that object was out of control it could have been Windermeer or even Fairhaven that was hit. Yet, no leader of any of the nations as of now has issued a statement, a concern, or a call to arms. Not even the Fyros.

Maybe the Fyros are to shortsighted to see that it could happen to them, too. Maybe the Tryker love all the new gadgetry and they are still busy tweaking all the knobs. Maybe the Matis already plot how to use that to their advantage, or they were somehow involved - given their belief in the Karavan. And maybe the Zorai are still debating what to make of this.

But not even the Kami showed up! Do they fear the Karavan? Do they know what happened? Do they have similar objects and don't want to alienate us in the same way the Karavan just did?

What is going on here?

Some more pictures for all of those who crave them here :)
