[What comes on the screen can only be found in one place on Gaia, the deepest point inside the Iifa Tree on the broad platform now used to view the Farplane. But the focus isn't on the flower field hovering in the distance on the far end of the platform, but rather the sheer expanse and depth beneath the tree proper, and what looks like a coursing

What... happened there?

[tidesnpcs]

[As always, the Selkies talk one right over the other.]

Couldn't say.

Never seen the chalice do that before except by a Crystal.

That's how we purified them.

You think there's a Crystal down there somewhere?

[video]

[heartofheaven]

That's the Lifestream. So I don't think so... maybe. But what you're doing there, it could purify the Lifestream? The flow of souls?

[video]

[tidesnpcs]

Never heard of it purifying itself before.

I suppose it could. Does it need purifying? And I already told you, it's not myrrh!

But it looks like it, and you saw what it does.

[He looks from his own chalice to the phone, thinking.]

...so that's what those things are for?

[tidesnpcs]

Not exactly. That's what happens when the myrrh purifies a Crystal.

Then why'd it go down into the hole, Hana Kohl?

I don't know! Let me talk to this kid. So you have a chalice too?

Well duh, you see him holding it.

Hush, I'm busy!

[chaos_vessel]

What was in that container?

[Hana Kohl is the one to respond since her partner is busy trying to figure out what happened to the chalice.]

It was full of myrrh. Have you seen it before?

[Video]

[chaos_vessel]

No. I know of the Lifestram, but not myrrh.

[timenpcs]

They're not the same.

[She eyes the chalice again suspiciously, not willing to agree with her partner with him in earshot.]

Are they?

[amorningglow]

So.. the myrrh went into the lifestream?

[tidesnpcs]

That's what it looks like. I've never seen a chalice do that before.

[Dah Vis pops up on the screen behind his partner to see if the speaker is as pretty as she sounds like.]

[amorningglow]

Is that a good thing?

[tidesnpcs]

I'm not sure. That's what happens when it purifies a Crystal.

I think there's a Crystal down there, Hana Kohl.

[video]

[nogoodpeople]

So the chalices react to the Lifestream?

[video]

[tidesnpcs]

Not normally.

They only do that with Crystals.

[video]

[nogoodpeople]

Any particular sort of crystals?

[video]

[tidesnpcs]

Our towns were protected by them. They're shards of the Great Crystal left behind when the Meteor destroyed it.

Yeah, the Great Crystal was the storehouse of memories and held the fate of every soul.
