    1 [PHILOSOPHY] Act as a mediator for the Spiral Dancers

    It appears for many Spiral Dancers that the only remaining possible outlet for godly truths in spite of his personal conversion to the Nine is Brez Y’ett. The Transcendence Head still held sway among followers of the pantheons founded by the Kamasati. For his part Brez seems eager to take on the role of prophet and guardian of the old ways even as he and his followers heralded in the age of the new. Spiral Dancer refugees from the civil war in Kamasati and naked aggression of the Gelean Empire are invited to turn to UPT for guidance and compassion in these trying times. While unable to claim the leadership of the currently leaderless ideology for his part Brez does seem capable of holding the attention of the remaining Spiral Dancers and directing them towards the ends he saw fit for them.

    2 [PHILOSOPHY] Convert Lyca (F30) from Open to Nine Lights Success

    Nine Lights proselytists, now more experienced and educated in their gospel, return to Lyca and once more seek to impress upon the researchers and scientists of the region the revelations in areas both spiritual and scientific awaiting them should they choose to follow in the footsteps of the Sphinx Gods. Seel-Zel Namees, The Light of Knowledge looks kindly upon the pursants of objective truths and encourages the work being done to understand the Lycantrope.

    3 [PHILOSOPHY] Convert G29 from Open to Nine Lights Success

    Wishing to expand the influence of the Nine Lights and already looking towards the former Melfynian capital effort is made to bring the wisdom of the Nine into sector G29. Kaza-Zel Melqrrn, the Light of Judgment, is invoked to condemn the frivolous pursuits of OwO which had come to dominate nearby systems as well as the One as an oversimplified flat cosmology akin to the acceptance of pristine light without examination of its component waves through the prism of knowledge. Natives are encouraged to cast aside superstitions or nihilstic agnosticism in favor of embracing the Nine who first divined the location of Efficiency and look upon the unfolding patterns of time and reality as mortal minds looked upon measurements of space and volume.

    4 [PHILOSOPHY] Probe Melfynus (H30) Success

    Distraught over the destruction of the Meflynus home system and possible loss of the heavily studied World Serpent cross-bonded with Symbraum and Kombuch a small probe force is quickly assembled and launched in the direction of the formerly stable white hole. Offers of aid and redemption in the light of the Nine are broadcast from these mechanical probes and care packages intended to last years are attached for recovery by Melfynian survivors who discover the UPT probes in their space. Hopefully a complete picture of what now lay where the unique Melfynian white hole system had been could be assembled from the data picked up and broadcast back home by these mechanical goodwill journeymen.

    5 [INTRIGUE] Provide a secret mission for the Spiral Dancers of Axiom

    Although details are scarce, even more so for those who were not of the Spiral Dancer ideology, it seems Brez was disseminating literature and sermons suggesting the Dreamers and Dream Children of Spiral Dancer had an as of yet unrealized divine purpose. A date is set on 217523.2.1.84 for “the Ascension” though what this means or entails is kept a mystery from onlookers while adherents receive ritualistic instructions for preparation.

    [GENERALS]

    [RUMORS]
    • The Svaatyr are petitioned for additional Nine Lights literature. Confusion has broken out over the roles and meanings of the various lights and associated gods. Were academics guided more by Avrne-Zel Tetyr, The Light of Curiosity or Seel-Zel Namees, The Light of Knowledge? Perhaps it was Tyaam-Zel Fiiqam, The Light of Ingenuity instead? What role did Zeliiv-Zel Zanrt, The Light of Shadows play as an inherent contradiction in terms? As the fresh converts seek to spread the good news that there was actual other intelligent life out there, gods more rightly claiming the title than the Kamasati, the desire to know more and gain a deeper understanding was prevalent.
    • Brez petitions Svrrta-Zel Mrrzety to arrange for an audience between himself and Zrvesiiv-Zel Voolr, The Light of Eternity who mastered the reality warping power of the Vox. The Transcendence Head was desperate to learn more about the temporal secrets of the universe and had concocted schemes from trying to bond with a Vox body to the outlandish and no doubt scandalous suggestion he knew he dare not mention that he might bond with the Light of Eternity himself. No doubt he had not yet earned the trust to lay sight upon a Sphinx's mind directly but the desire remained. Still, to master the temporal arts of the Vox would be a great boon indeed.
    • Public revelation of data regarding Efficiency Ground vexes some within UPT who feel cheated by the now heavily obsolete data acquired through dealings with the Theocracy. These grumbling voices are met with reminders that all was not revealed to the galaxy at large and between themselves the Trust and the Theocracy were in a potentially lucrative arrangement given their shared specialties and more general intelligence. The Svaatyr and UPT were one step ahead of the other Maturated of Axiom whether it seemed like they were malcontents or terrorists to the rest of the galaxy was irrelevant so long as they stuck together.
    • The current threat facing the Wardens at World's End due to their own hubris fueled acceleration towards a childish fantasy of what power was rather than a measured approach that might have allowed them to at least repair the Umbral Augury so their allies could come save them is talked about bemusedly in UPT based publications. While the Same were obviously a threat to the galaxy the machinations of the followers of the Accord were perhaps one of the most deserving to be pressed against the Core as they were. If only the rest of the galaxy weren't so naive and gullible they would see its true protectors were not those made of nothing but bombast.
    • The Svaatyr are commended for deigning to aid the idiotic Wardens in their time of crisis brought about by their own ineptitude but the Theocracy is reminded the Wardens were unlikely to possess the bare minimal standards of civilized reciprocity and would likely make a move against the Nine Lights as readily as they took aid from them. Kaza-Zel Melqrrn, The Light of Judgement had already clearly found the fools wanting in allowing the Same to ravage their space and while the choice to abide by the soft heart of Viiqr-Zel Mrrn, The Light of Compassion was admirable it was perhaps answering foolishness with foolishness in kind for the Wardens would be unlikely to learn their lessons not to meddle in affairs beyond their comprehension if their more wizened neighbors continually saved them from the destruction they wrought upon their own heads.
