[The video opens to a man dressed in rather nice robes, with an electrostaff strapped to his back. His eyes are completely black, his face is carefully neutral but with a pleasant air about him. His hands are folded neatly in front of him, indicating that he has the device propped up against something.]

Greetings. We are Vector Hyllus, Dawn Herald of the Killik hive of Oroboro.

While finding ourselves on this world was not something we anticipated, we are choosing to look upon this as a learning experience, for the Dawn Herald's duties include exploration of the unknown.

We are also a trained diplomat, though whether those skills will be of use here are still unknown, and we do have more practical skills that we may lend.

[Vector takes a moment to decipher the other's words.]

You are many individual consciousnesses that appear as a single entity, then?

[pileofspirits]

[Goodness, they're pleased with how much they're being listened to and understood here. They nod again.]

And pieces. Some are pieces--I think--but we're... [They pause for a moment, like they're listening or double-checking a thought.] But we're all in here now.

[killikambassador]

Ah. We have encountered no other being like you before.

[pileofspirits]

No other before... [They parrot quietly at first, before shrugging their shoulders up.] You're almost.

[killikambassador]

Does it not get confusing, with so many minds working in tandem?

[pileofspirits]

No. [It's an immediate answer, but then presumably the other pieces chime in, causing Phalanx to squint one eye closed as they correct themself.] Yes. Yes, a lot.
