[Without warning, a transmission appears on the imPort network. It has no ID or other identifier.]

—nyone there? Can anyone hear this? Shouldn't be here have to try but I'm dead if they find out, I'm dead anyway because it's all gone wrong—

[Several panicked breaths, and then several longer ones, forced.]

She's coming. The organization wanted power because why should you all be the only ones who have it, we wanted to break through to other worlds and this was they way—if Atropos was summoned here, she'd shatter the barriers, walls would become doors, but that's not happening, everything's just falling apart.

I've tried to call it off, this experiment's a failure, we'll do something else but the others won't listen. They've glimpsed something beyond and it did things to them...or maybe they're just that committed. Maybe I'm the weak one. I don't know.

Listen. LISTEN. She's going to come, the process has already begun. Can't be stopped. Calculations say she'll arrive on the full moon and if she's alone, god help us all. But if you can summon her sisters, they'll bring her here with them, and there'll be balance. Vulnerability. No guarantee.

Don't know how. Don't know if it's possible. But you're heroes right? Do something. PLE—

[Kenzi can be heard opening her mouth but doesn't say anything, perhaps she's actually thinking that over.]

Trapping Atropos might not be the worst idea, but I'm pretty sure she can alter reality. Good luck trapping something like that.

Also, Lachesis was reasonable if a little cray.

[lootsnshoots]

Knowing one of 'em is crazy really isn't selling me on the "summon more gods" plan.

[heartstings]

Crazy but she did save us from Atropos before.

[lootsnshoots]

'K, I'm warming up a little but not inclined to trust, you know?

[heartstings]

I wouldn't trust her either and I lived with her as the 'Porter for about two years. She was always wanting us to do this or that while being super cryptic.

[lootsnshoots]

Do what kinda stuff? Fetch her coffee?

[heartstings]

Mostly she'd cause a mess and we'd have to clean it up. Though toward the end she was sending on fetch quests to other worlds. So, yeah.

[lootsnshoots]

MMyup, sounds super annoying and not something that I would ever, ever do as a career.

[heartstings]

Most of it could be ignored, like how things usually are around here when some crazed goddess isn't trying to destroy everything.

Except for the few times we weren't given much of a choice on visiting other worlds.
