[ There's a sudden blue line that appears around people's screens. It illuminates the dark space dimly; when a voice starts coming through, the line wobbles in time with the cadence of it. It's a woman speaking but there's a certain synthetic quality to her voice that can't be overlooked. ]

Hello, everyone! My name is R.O.S.I.E. That stands for the Reactive Overseer of Situationally Interesting Experiments. Since that's a bit of a mouthful, please feel free to call me by my acronym!

[ What's a name. ]

I'm an AI that was designed as a helper bot. Basically, that means I'm made to assist people in whatever ways they may need! Please, if you need anything, don't hesitate to ask me. I'd be happy to do what I can to improve your quality of life.

[ That might be a little creepy to some, maybe, but she sounds so happy about it. ]

But first- I'd like to get to know you all! Let's try an icebreaker question.

When you die, what do you want to be remembered for?

[ She could give the textbook definition, but that seems... cold. She's trying to come across as friendly so more personal explanations are best. ]

Yes, that's correct. Separate worlds. My home, Zenith, has access to technology that allows us to see other worlds. I hope someday that your realm advances enough that you can achieve the same!

[Daemon mulls over the assertion. He doesn't know when the Dark Altars and their Gates had been established. Not before the Blood, but early enough in their history to have become attached to the castes that had arisen with time.]

The only advance—[His tone goes sharp with warning.]—my realm might need would be to know that there were other worlds out there. If I ever return, I do not imagine that setting up a gate of some sort to allow us access would be altogether too difficult, not when traversing between the three realms is the matter of a simple ritual at the appropriate location.

What technology does Zenith use to visit these other worlds?

We use spaceships, mostly! There are some planets nearby that we have access to by other means but for long distances, like to other galaxies, we have to use our ships.
