[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—

There's always a little death involved in these things.

But you're right. We can figure this out and more importantly, stop it.

[She thinks.]

Maybe 'twins' is a loose translation. What if two different people were born on the same day? Or it's two copies of an item?

[iminthebook]

True, that, historically.

I don't know. A lot of us are pouring over this. I am hoping we can answer that before it's too late.

[bifroster]

I hope so too.

If anything, we can probably keep an ear out for anything and sabotage the ritual.

[iminthebook]

I think that is wise.

Hopefully, we can figure it out before too late.

[bifroster]

At least we will have options there.

Will you be there, when it happens?

[iminthebook]

Always.

Its where I belong.

[bifroster]

In the thick of things. Sounds like the kind of person we'd be lucky to have on our side.

[iminthebook]

I have a feeling we'll need everyone by the time this is done.

good to fade?

[bifroster]

Yeah, probably. Call me if you're able to, okay? I plan to be there.

This works!

[iminthebook]

Of course. See you then!
