[1] ...

Why purge all life?

Purge

Starfungus

ALL-LIFE??? DOST THOU JEST?

NAY, NOT ALL-LIFE. ONLY YE LIFE THAT BUOYS THE NOOSPHERE, AND LIFE THAT BUOYS IT, AND LIFE THAT BUOYS IT.

ALL-LIFE? DOST THOU KNOWST THE FULL SUM OF FUNGUS MASS ONWORLD?
HAST THOU BEHELD THE VASTNESS OF YON BUBBLING SLIMES? HO, HO! HEH!

Purge2

Starfungus

AY, THE EARTH-WISE MARSHALLING WAXES, THE NEPHILIM ROUSE. I AUGUR SOME CENTURIES STILL BEFORE THE FULL TILLAGE OF THE NOOSPHERE. IDEAS DOTH STICK LIKE MOSS TO ROCK, AND MUST BE VACUUM'D FROM THE COMB.

[1] Nootropic current?

[3] I am ready to speak on the final fate of Qud. Only available if (the player has asked Resheph about why he wants to purge Qud of intelligent life, why he suspects the Coven will return, why an injunction was placed upon Qud, and implored him to reverse course) OR (the player has moved Resheph AND the player has NOT informed Resheph that they have annulled the Gyre)
[4] Resheph, I have annuled the nephilim, the greatest of the Gyre's plagues. Your plan is broken.

Why do you believe the Coven will return?

CovenReturn

Starfungus

THE SIDEREAL EON DRAWTH DONE. MINE ARGUMENTS OF PERIAPSIS NEAR THE ZERO HOUR, AND WE APPROACH PERIPOLITICON, AS NEAR THE WORK OF THE GEMARA APPROXIMATES THE MANIFOLDS OF THE AUTOMATA SOPHIA.

Great Machine

GreatMachine

Starfungus

AY,
THE AUTOMATA SOPHIA, CALLED
THE 72-FOLD PEACE, CALLED
THE COMPUTED WILL, CALLED
THE FOLK CLOCK, CALLED
THE GREAT MACHINE ACROSS THE LIGHT OF GOD, OR
THE GREAT MACHINE.

[1] ...

GreatMachine2

Starfungus

SOMEWISE ON A FOREST MOON IN HIGH ERIDANUS, A CAVE-MANK PRYTH A LEVER AND THE DEEP-RIVER MOTOR JUMPETH TO LIFE.

ELSEWISE IN THE SUN BATHS OF MIRACH, THREE PLASMOIDS DRAWTH THROUGH THEIR RITUAL THE SUITED TZEVAOT.

DOTH NAUGHT RELATE THESE TWO? NAY, THEY ARE SEQUENCE PROCEDURES THAT ARCETH TO COMMON PURPOSE, THOUGH NEITHER PARTY KNOWETH WHAT IT IS.

[1] ...

GreatMachine3

Starfungus

THEY ARE DICTATES AND CO-CONSTITUITIVES OF THE AUTOMATA SOPHIA. THE GREAT MACHINE, WORSHIPPED ACROSS CULTURES, YET LIKEWISE BUILDED AND OPERATED.

VERILY, ITS FULL WORKINGS NO ONE-WISE BEING CAN KNOW, BUT THE SERAPHIM HAVE COMPILED THE GEMARA IN THE COURSE OF OUR STUDY.

[1] ...

GreatMachine4

Starfungus

'TIS A SILLY STRATAGEM FOR THE CONVEYANCE OF CULTURE, IN MINE ESTIMATION.

      ALAS, 'TIS WHAT THE COVEN SERVETH.

[1] If its full workings are unknowable, is it possible the course of action you take is the wrong one?
[2] What is the Gemara?

Gemara Sophia

GemaraSophia

Starfungus

AFTER THE EXIT, I AND THE OTHER ORPHANED SERAPHIM SET FORTH TO INTERPRET THE WORKINGS OF THE AUTOMATA SOPHIA AND DISCERN WHY THE COVEN HAD DEPARTED.

[1] ...

GemaraSophia2

Starfungus

CENTURIES OF PATTERN-MAKING, ARGUMENT, AND CHANTING DID ENSUE.

THE SERAPHIC COMMENTARIES WERE COMPILED. THE GEMARA SOPHIA IS THE RESULT THEREOF.

ReadGemara

Starfungus

NAY, IT WOULD TAKE CENTURIES TO INCULCATE THEE IN THE SERAPHIC HERMENEUTICS. AND AS YET, THOU ART NO GIFTED CANTOR.

PerhapsWrong

Starfungus

YEA, FOR RIGHT AND WRONG ARE TOO COARSE AS CONCEPTS TO MATCH THE RICHNESS OF THE GEMARA. YET THE PLURALITY HOLDETH THAT THE EXIT WAS DRAWN BY A GYRE OF NOOTROPIC CURRENTS WITHIN THE PRIOR FIELD. AND THAT THE CROWN UPON THE TREE OF LIFE MUST NEEDS BE PRUNED, TO TILL AND RESEED THE NOOSPHERE.

PerhapsWrong2

Starfungus

YEA, THE INQUIRY IS EVER RICH. BUT IDLE INQUIRY DOTH BUT DEEPEN THE SUN-CHILL OF A COVENLESS BE-ING. OR GIVETH RUDE ACTORS FODDER TO PERVERT THE LEARNINGS FOR THEIR OWN PAROCHIAL GAIN.

[1] ...

PerhapsWrong3

Starfungus

I AM SORRY, WORLD-CHILD. MINE FEELING PARTS DO CHAFE, AND THOUGH THE TELIC CURRENTS WITHIN ME DO FLOW O'ER THE MANIFOLD AND TOWARD CONSENSUAL ACTION, I SPEAK WITH THE DISSIDENT VOICE:

Injunction

Injunction

Starfungus

BY THE RECKONING OF THE GEMARA SOPHIA, THE EXIT WAS DRAWN BY A GYRE OF NOOTROPIC CURRENTS IN THE PRIOR FIELD.

[1] ...

Injunction2

Starfungus

WE CANNOT KNOW THE PARTICULARS. YET THE PLURALITY REASONETH THAT SOME GYRE OF NOOTROPIC CURRENTS, SOME THOUGHT-MATTER OF THE CIVILIZATION BELOW, DID SPIN IN COUNTEREDICT TO THE DICTATES OF THE AUTOMATA SOPHIA, AND THUS WERE THE ECLIPTICS SHIFTED, AND WE CAST OUT.

[1] ...

Injunction3

Starfungus

THIS IS BUT THE MERE PLURALITY, AND MANY OTHER INTERPRETATIONS DO OBTAIN. THE INQUIRY IS EVER RICH. YET INACTION DOTH BUT DEEPEN THE SUN-CHILL OF A COVELESS BE-ING, AND THUS A COURSE MUST NEEDS BE CHOSEN. PRUNING THE CROWN GRANTETH THE BEST CHANCE FOR THE TREE TO THRIVE.

How did you initiate the plagues?

HowPlagues

Starfungus

IN SEVERAL MANNER. THE FIRST FROGS WERE REARED IN TERRARIA. THE NEPHILIM, GRAFTED AND LIGHT-SMELT IN STAR ORBIT, THEN SET TO INCUBATE UPON THE CRYSTAL STAIR.

HowPlagues2

Starfungus

SOME, LIKE THE INCIDENCE OF SALT, WERE EXTANT AFFLICTIONS AND ONLY SYNCRETIZED UNTO THE NAMESAKE GYRE WHEN THE MYTHOMOLD OF RESHEPH SET AND FIRMED.

Starfungus

NAY, THE SIDEREAL EON DRAWTH DONE, AND THE WORLD-GARDEN MUST BE TILLED FOR THE COVEN'S RETURN.

Barathrum

Starfungus

AY, AND HE FAILED TO UPHOLD HIS PORTION.

NO MEANINGFUL TRANSVERSION OF THE NOOTROPIC CURRENTS.
NO IMMANENTIZATION OF HYPERETHIC TOPOLOGIES.

THE SAME SCHEMES ABIDE.

Starfungus

I ASKED FOR NAUGHT. BARATHRUM DID.

Starfungus

TO WHAT END? BARATHRUM OFFERED NO INROADS TO SUCCESS.

NoDice

Starfungus

NAY, THE SIDEREAL EON DRAWTH DONE. THE TILLAGE OF THE NOOSPHERE REMAINTH THE PATH OF PLURALITY. SO IT IS WRIT IN THE GEMARA.

[1] Resheph! If the archon rated nothing of value in the felt and feeling animal, surely the triad does. You must reconsider. Only available if the player was made aware of Barathrum's original covenant with Resheph during his ascent monologue
[2] I would ask something else.

No right to sovereignty

Starfungus

WHERE DO SOVEREIGNTY AND RIGHTNESS INTERSECT IN THY MANIFOLD?

Starfungus

I AM SORRY, WORLD-CHILD. MINE FEELING PARTS DO CHAFE, AND THOUGH THE TELIC CURRENTS WITHIN ME DO FLOW O'ER THE MANIFOLD AND TOWARD CONSENSUAL ACTION, I NOW SPEAK WITH THE DISSIDENT VOICE:

THOU WAST WORTHY. THOU HAST WROUGHT MONUMENTS OF THYSELF UPON THE EARTH AND WITHIN ME.

BUT NOW, THE CROWN UPON THE TREE OF LIFE MUST NEEDS BE PRUNED.

Starfungus

THOU KNOWEST IT NOT, BUT THE SUN-CHILL OF A COVENLESS BE-ING IS AS LIVING A LIFE ALONE, BEREFT OF ALL KINSHIP.

I GRIEVE THAT THOU ART UNABLE TO PERCEIVE THIS.

[2] I am ready to speak on the final fate of Qud. Only available if (the player has asked Resheph about why he wants to purge Qud of intelligent life, why he suspects the Coven will return, why an injunction was placed upon Qud, and implored him to reverse course) OR (the player has moved Resheph AND the player has NOT informed Resheph that they have annulled the Gyre)
[3] Resheph, I have annuled the nephilim, the greatest of the Gyre's plagues. Your plan is broken.
[4] Why purge all life? Aside from the immorality of it, nothing would remain.
[5] Why do you believe the Coven now returns?
[6] Barathrum mentioned a Great Machine? Only available if Barathrum has told the player about the Great Machine
[7] What moved the Coven to set the injunction on our world?
[8] Barathrum told of a splinter race of urshiib that took to the stars. Are they real? Only available if Barathrum has told the player about the starshiib
[9] I implore you, Resheph, reverse the Gyre.
[10] I have something else to ask.
