[[The comm turns on to show the whorls of dirty fingers pressed to the screen. Beyond them the ground and dirty, bare toes can also be seen, although the comm seems to be in motion. In the background, muttering in a strange language, in what seems to be a female voice can be heard. As the comm turns over, a wrinkled, almost piggish face is seen. The right eye is gone, but the left is darting and intelligent. The woman seems to have a mustache, although from her appearance of age it's not too alarming. Her long, grey hair is highly frizzled. Apparently, she managed to push the translate button by accident, because her mumbling is suddenly intelligible.]]
--And Gelfling long gone now. Hmph. Now orrery gone too, and where the metal to rebuild it? Nowhere, that where! UrSkeks gone, orrery gone, predictions gone.
....Gelfling back. [[She seems to be considering]] That's good. Of course good! World left to just Podlings. Hmph!
This not like metal I've seen before. Lighter. Smoother. Orrery made of this wouldn't take your arm off. That good? Maybe fall apart! Where universe then?
[[The eye gets closer, brown and bloodshot and taking up the whole screen]]
And what this? Shine like crystal. Some kind of crystal, this? Not feel like crystal. Not smell like crystal. Smell like... Hmph! Never smell this before. Not crystal, though. Not living either. No spy crystal or Garthim, this.
What purpose it serve? Things must serve purpose. Even Crystal serves purpose! This faceless as stone, but things on it that make it glow like crystal. Strange thing. Maybe spy crystal after all. Should kill it, then.
...Still, doesn't smell dangerous. And Aughra knows danger!
