So...you want to understand this monster first, before seeing about going after it.

[arkitect]

Going after it without information on its nature will avail us little. Beyond that... it must be located in the first place, to even think of going further.

[robopriest]

That's true.

[He frowns.]

Maybe its already here, especially with all this chaos we have.

[arkitect]

Mayhap it is. But I was informed the places we are given leave to visit are places it has left in its wake. I would wager we are still catching up.

[robopriest]

...Excuse me?

[GO BACK TO THAT AGAIN]

You mean, that pirate village...that space place...those are all remnants of its dinner?

[arkitect]

If what I was told holds true? That seems to be exactly the case.

[robopriest]

[Yikes.]

[He just closes his eye, shaking his head.]

Sure wish they told us about that before all this mess started.

[arkitect]

As do I, but it does seem that much is held back. I do not believe we know why we visit such places yet.

[robopriest]

Maybe to gather the leftover nova that the monster didn't get to? I mean, those worlds seem rather intact...

[arkitect]

In all ways except one, yes. They certainly do.

[robopriest]

You mean...the lack of people.

[arkitect]

They seem otherwise normal. If it is consuming nova--

Then it is feeding not upon the places themselves, but upon what produces that nova. Going to the very source.
