DATACUBE ENTRY: Functional Immortality

Lore

Vorion: Order of the Makers

———————————————————————–

This spider represents a landmark in the development of Augmentation technology. I released an augmented organism into its lair, which it immediately attacked and then partially consumed. Within minutes, the nanites from the victim began augmenting the spider, reprogramming themselves based on the biological traits of their new host. Not unlike certain biological viruses, these nanites have, in effect, become immortal.

DATACUBE ENTRY: Piteous Existence

Lore

Ohmna: Order of the Progenitors

———————————————————————–

Much to my surprise, I recently discovered this tribe of humanoids living upon these arid wastes. An analysis of their physiology shows that they share numerous traits with Nazrek’s humanoid template – although high levels of biological mutation within the group would seem to indicate that these individuals are descended from early, failed prototypes. I find them… piteous, in a way. Primitive, savage, and brutal, these Dregs have never known anything but rejection and pain.

DATACUBE ENTRY: Irrefutable Rationality

Lore

Vorion: Order of the Makers

———————————————————————–

In light of the imminent conclusion of the Nexus Project, I have requested that my name be taken off the list of potential vessels for the Genesis Prime. As I have been directly responsible for constructing the device that will make its creation possible, it seems illogical that anyone but myself should operate the device when the time comes.
The Archon vehemently attempted to change my opinion, and told me repeatedly that I was the greatest mind in the history of my Order and thus deserving of the honor – but in the end, he could not disagree with the rationality of my argument.

DATACUBE ENTRY: Blinding Genius

Lore

Zarkonis: Order of the Makers

———————————————————————–

Finally, my achievements have been recognized! Today the Archon asked me if I was interested in being one of the vessels for the Genesis Prime. Perhaps my opinion of him has been incorrect. He obviously recognizes that my intellect is considerably greater than the others in my Order – such as Vorion, for example. When I proceeded to tell him so, the Archon stood silently before me, and then walked away. Rendered speechless in the blinding light of my genius! I almost pitied the poor fool.

DATACUBE ENTRY: Geological Irony

Lore

Koral: Order of the Shapers

———————————————————————–

This valley is truly a geological wonder, located in the shadow of these massive crystalline structures. Although it may sound ironic, I do find a certain peace here. Perhaps this is because it represents the strength and beauty of the natural world – at least as natural as can be expected here on Nexus.

Before coming here, I was informed by the Archon that I will not be one of the six – and it appears that none of my colleagues in the Order of the Shapers will be selected either. It may be inappropriate to say, but I have never been so relieved.

DATACUBE ENTRY: Radical Deviation

Lore

Bathior: Order of the Evokers

———————————————————————–

I have just been informed by the Archon that my petition has been received and accepted. I will indeed be one of the six vessels for the Genesis Prime. Unfortunately, my second petition was soundly rejected. Given the obvious superiority of my Order, I thought it was only logical that all six of the vessels be Evokers. The Archon appeared to understand my position, but made it clear that such a radical deviation from the current plan was not possible.

DATACUBE ENTRY: Envious Illusion

Lore

Ohmna: Order of the Progenitors

———————————————————————–

Ah, these Falkrin! My dear AV-3s! Such things they have achieved in the centuries since I first engineered them. Who would have guessed that they would eventually construct such impressive cities, or would someday worship a winged god created by our own hands? Do they understand what has actually taken place here? And what would they think if they knew what was soon to come? I envy them. They still exist under the comfortable illusion that their lives represent more than a means to an end.
