I am extremely concerned for your welfare and other Yazatas. Recently, IGNN released news stating a terrorist attack occurring upon Lethe. The news Middian is receiving is that Lethe, Asha and Keret have suffered casualties due to a derivative of the Creep virus. We just survived a Caedix virus outbreak here and I haven’t had time to recuperate to reconnect with Lethe. Please, for the love of Sedu, send me a transmission on our family and the condition of Lethe! I await any news.
May Sedu watch over us all,
Zoquea Ch’Olan

“Sorrow” Attack Rocks Tribe Space
by Phransis Dahrel
The unprovoked terrorist attacks have brought untold pain and misery to the peaceful races of the Tribes. Four of the Tribe homeworlds were targeted by agents of Sorrow, who proceeded to release a viral weapon upon the citizens of Tribe space. What follows is all the information that is currently available regarding the incident, as well as some official responses by members of the various Tribal governments.
Lethe - The one planet that has suffered far more than any other from the Sorrow viral attack is Lethe. The most holy of structures (Sedu's Web Gate) is surrounded by the most ancient of the Ancients. With this one attack, Sorrow has managed to effectively decapitate the leadership of the Yazatas by killing every Ancient within 10 square miles of ground zero. The newly empowered Weed Party thankfully has a greater deal of flexibility than either of the other, more conservative parties. The Weed Party has acted with incredible alacrity in response to the viral infection by declaring a temporary state of Martial Law (the first time in living memory), and socializing all anti-viral agents, personnel and facilities. Current casualties, not counting the horrible loss of the Ancients, stand at 100,000 with five times that number suffering various levels of infection. It appears that the spread of the virus has been stopped but the unprecedented level of loss is expected to rise as more of those infected succumb to the effects of the virus. Members of the Spore and the Root parties are attributing this tragedy to the new policies of the ruling Weeds. The Weed philosophy of freedom and liberty is being attributed to the lessening of travel restrictions, which the opposition parties claim was the reason the terrorist attack was successful. The loss of so many Weed politicians and clerks is going to force special elections, giving the Spores and the Roots a chance to retake control of the government.

My family home is near ground zero. The temple to Sedu that I played in as a child and worshipped and my father's office is even closer. Other worlds have been affected as well. This is horrible. I need to know if they are alive.

I think I'll convince Lola in joining me in my new life. Her new teacher will be closer, she'll be safer...I just have to get her over her fear of Imperials.
They could really use someone with her knowledge of the healing arts for Humans. Plus, she'll actually get an income!
Looking into acquiring force screens for the doors in the barracks.
If that doesn't keep out the next potential wave of Caedix infected, then I might as well just give up now. It'll at least keep out the undesirables.

More Yazatas poems that of course made me think of Kel. I really need to stop looking at poetry. I haven't heard anything from him, I hope he's okay.
I need a drink and a strong hallucinogen...
Edge of the Ocean
There's a place I dream about
Where the sun never goes out
And the sky is deep and blue
Won't you take me there with you?
Oh, we can begin again
Shed our skin, let the sun shine in.
At the edge of the ocean
We can start over again.
The Dreaming Sea
The Dreaming Sea flexes in the lilac light
and you're the moon and I'm the tide
cradle my head
kiss me like you wish me dead
breathe life into me
till I feel as though I'll never sleep again
to close my eyes and feel the whole world swim
till I don't know where you end, where I begin
the dreaming sea
whispers its too late to be saved
the next kiss could be the ninth wave
you and me
upon the bare teeth of the rock
at the mercy of the dreaming sea
Where's the Ocean?
Where's the ocean for us?
As my body touches you and my soul entwines
the view of an ocean and a sea of love
down into the depths of time
and all eternity down into the depths
of all the things I find reminding me
your voice it's calling me haunting me like ghosts at sea.
Will you be the one, my ocean and my divine?
Where's the ocean?
Where's the moments I once knew inside my heart?
I stand pointed by the view you want to stay
as the silhouette of lovers fade into decay.
Playing with the thoughts still tortured,
we were once true lovers
but now I don't see the ocean very clear.
Come and dive into my sea and remember the call.
Remember the cry of time.
Where's the ocean for us when you covered me with kisses?
It meant so very much.
Where's the ocean?
The ocean's here.

I came across these Yazatas poems...
Exquisite Creature
What can I say about what I know not,
But I feel something deep within.
To some chamber inside with the depths to confide
That smile of stature of sin.
Blazing eyes of a burning sun.
Locking...no looking away.
The desire for fire keep making us higher.
Clear the way.
We will meet.
We will play.
Exquisite Creature II
What could I say about what I knew not,
But I felt it...I felt it within.
To that chamber inside with all depths to confide
That smile - a sensual sin.
Those blazing eyes of that burning sun
they locked...no looking away.
The desire for fire kept making us higher.
Clear the way.
We have met.
Time to play.
I am no longer lost. I've spoken with Preacher and he helped me see what I need to do. I've got to get away from the void and enter into a zone of productivity with resources available. I have nothing to prove to anyone but myself. If I want to start a new life, then I must commit. So I did.
I spoke to Colahn. When Legion's contract is up in March, I start my new life.

For you Kel, for the day when you return to me.
Echo of a Whisper
I think about your being
All inside who you are
While the whispers echo softly
It is here...you are not far
From the hand of sensuality
The eyes a mask of grace
With a soul that takes your body
Off this world without a trace
I think about your spirit
What it holds until set free
And the whispers echo softly
It is here you want to be.
In the touch of truth and sanction
In the arms of all thats real
In the hearts and minds that live as two
that as one they breathe and feel.
