[ The voice in the message is slightly mechanical, very gravely and speaks with an almost hiss and growl around certain words. ]

Velask, greetings, people of this city. I am Mithrax of House Light. I seek shelter within your city.

I do not know if there is a Kell, a leader, I must speak with for that shelter. If there is a place you would have an Eliksni stay away from where I might cause fear. I seek your guidance in settling here in this place.

I bring no other Eliksni with me. I only have Ne’Shas with me. He will not cause any harm either. We simply seek shelter in this new place.

I have been told there is a ship Palm Cottage that I am assigned. If it is suitable I would settle there though I am not sure where this ship resides and who among their crew would welcome me.

Any help will be welcomed and any help House Light can give in return will be granted.

And greetings to you, Mithrax. My name is Obi-Wan Kenobi, a member of the Jedi Order, and pilot of the Palm Cottage.

There is no officially chosen leader here. We all get by as well we can while helping each other to survive. You’ll find that there are many places you can take shelter in. Including the ship if you like, or perhaps at least until you find something more permanent.

If you like I can take you to the Palm Cottage and give you a tour.

[houseoflight]

ObiWan of House Jedi, I would be very thankful for the help. This city is strange to me.

The Palm Cottage is your ship?

[hadthehighground]

As it is to all of us when we arrive. Not to worry, I’ll do my best to help you settle in.

I’m its assigned pilot but it’s not mine. Technically nothing here belongs to us, including the ships. They’re on loan to us from the Agrii.

[houseoflight]

Your kindness will be remembered.

Ah, I understand. The Agrii are Kell here. We serve them?

[hadthehighground]

We were brought here to help them. It is their planet that is in peril. They are unable to dwell here due to storms that are lethal to them.

Though I admit I have been here many months and have yet to experience one.

[houseoflight]

My people experienced a deadly storm. The Whirlwind. It destroyed our home planet and left us searching for a new home. We did not take other people from there's to help us reclaim it, however.

Where in this city should I meet with you, ObiWan?

[deal_me_in]

The Agrii are bringing in Fallen now? Maybe you guys are cousins.

Mithrax. I feel like I should know this name.

[houseoflight]

House Light is not Fallen. We are Eliksni. Sworn to protect the Great Machine and its chosen.

You know of my people. You are from Sol?

[deal_me_in]

Right, right. Well, so long as you don't shoot me or mine, we'll be fine.

Yeah, I'm from the Sol System. Hunter Vanguard, Cayde-Six. I'm sure you've heard of me.

[houseoflight]

I have no weapons.

Cayde-6 kell? Hunter kell of the Vanguard?

[deal_me_in]

Usually doesn't stop you guys.

[Oh, but there's a smirk in that tone.]

...that'll never not be weird. But yeah, that's what I said, isn't it? Only without the...kell- anyway. Also got two Warlocks around and one of 'ems Warlock kell so no funny business- you can bet she's watching.

[houseoflight]

You are in the House of Silence. The Hunter kell is no more. Is that where we have come? To the silence to be heard no more?

[deal_me_in]

I am not! I'm in-

Wait, hang on, what? Are we uh, having the same conversation here? Or is this a translation thing? Don't go waxing Warlock on me!

[houseoflight]

We call death the House of Silence. The Scorned Barons killed Cayde-6 kell.

[deal_me_in]

[That definitely needs no translation.]

....

[There's a pregnant moment of awkward silence before]

Yeah, I got a...call, on the other- I'm just gonna--

[Click.]

[hadthehighground]

I certainly don’t agree with the methods, but there’s no denying that they need help. Desperation can lead to extreme measures. Though from what I hear it’s not actually the Agrii’s doing.

I can meet you by the fountain. That’s where everyone first arrives so I’m assuming you can’t be far from there.

Action Switch!

[ Mithrax waits by the fountain, slightly hunched but still standing a great deal taller than any normal human. His armor glows and gleams in the sunlight. Hovering close to one of his spiked shoulders is a little hovering robot. It spots Obi-Wan first and thrills to Mithrax who looks over. ]

ObiWan. [ He bows, his secondary arms held close while he spreads his primary arms open wide. It's a very formal gesture. ] Thank you for your help. It is good to meet the crew I will fly with.

[Video, because he's like that]

[dr_riley]

[The scientist is leaning forward over his tightly crossed arms, elbows pressed against a shiny counter.]

Sorry, mate, not much in the way of societal structure. But there's plenty of crumbling, abandoned buildings to get cozy in.

You seem pretty sure of how scary and unwelcome you're going to be. Why's that?
