Lore

Day 1
The chilly coin in my pocket hums softly, drawing me off path. A pulsing blue pod is lodged in the earth here, covered in morning frost. Even through gloves, the coin burns colder than ever. I’m terrified and compelled to place the coin on the pod, it snaps open.
A dark gel oozes out, carrying a round device and tablet to my feet. The device activates and pulls the tablet with it into a hover. A construct? I know I should have shot it down, but I… feel it wants to help me get stronger.
I touch the construct. Thousands of years push their way into my skull, the mounting pressure makes me howl in a voice I don’t recognize, then nothing.
---
A pounding migraine wakes me. Midday. I feel moss under me and shield my eyes against the canopy light. I am closer to RallyPoint, but how? Disfigured beetles lay dead in a radius around me, faces distorted, limbs bent. I vomit. The construct hovers protectively nearby. How did it do this?
Day 2
Studying the tablet brings no comfort. I worry about Huang. The isolation grates on me, I’m exhausted, hungry, angry. I finally found a supply chest but the construct absorbed my coin before I could use it. This lowly thing thinks it knows best. I don’t know what came over me but I attacked the construct. It didn’t seem to mind but that only made me feel worse. I am not myself.
Day 3
The full moon’s light makes me itch. It pursues me from it’s dark sea, sluggish and unnerving. I stare into it, nearly falling into it’s gaze. For hours I run terrified in the wrong direction. I cannot face it, not how I am. Under a deep canopy I draw familiar power from the construct. Inky feathers break through the skin of my arms and hands. I black out.
Day 4
That blasted thing isn’t cheap, the construct is obsessed with coin, but I can’t argue with the results. The Lemurians barely put up a fight, obliterated, distracted by their song.
The last one drops from my talons.
They never should have been here in the first place. Where they are blind, I see the shapes of things and truly know them. I must reach…someone, somewhere. I cannot quite remember.
