Dialogue[]
Caption: As the fighting ends, something shifts over the endless sea of symbiotes. As though a message was being passed along.
Caption: The pulsing, writhing, and shuddering slows to a dull rhythmic wave. For a brief moment, the symbiote realm is at peace.
Venom: We thank you for your ssservice, Sssummoner. The choir of ssscreaming voicesss once again calmsss. Now, we may work.
Civil Warrior: How does working... work? Caption: Saying nothing, but moving swiftly, Venom plunges their arms into a mass of symbiotic flesh. The flesh pulses and bulges with purpose.
Civil Warrior: Oh, I hate watching that. I hate that in a very specific way I have never experienced before. Venom: We are communicating with othersss of our kind. We have eyesss everywhere. We know, we witness, we...are...Venom.
Carina: A vast spy network of cosmic critters does actually sound like just the advantage we needed, carry on.
Ægon: Carina, while this unfortunate but necessary spectacle plays out, might we have a word in private? Carina: Of course, Stardust. Let’s find somewhere a little less covered in tendrils and slime.
- Transmission #1 - Upon starting the Quest
Ægon: Carina, I shall be blunt, I have continued communications with the Council whilst we were on the move. Carina: I can’t say that I’m thrilled about that. What bureaucratic nonsense are they suggesting rather than helping? Ægon: Most recently they are displeased that we are interfering in the affairs of the symbiotes. They have treaties and agreements with them. Carina: We are at war against forces corrupting our strongest friends. Now is not the time for paperwork and politics. Civil Warrior: I am sorry to eavesdrop, but it’s not the time for secrets either. You’re running from something, Carina. Civil Warrior: You’re scared, but you’re not alone. We are here with you, till the end of the line. We just want to know where the tracks are headed. Carina: ... that does seem fair. I’ll lay it all out as soon as we can catch a breath. Right now we need to focus all efforts on Glykhan. Venom: Then we have good news, we believe we have found an Ouroborossss lair. Carina: Wildly efficient symbiote news network, good to know that’s out there. Let’s not waste another second talking and get moving.

Ægon: Are you sure you are prepared for battle? Standing by the Summoner’s side has been noble, but it has been dangerous for you. Carina: The care is appreciated, but I promise my battery is recharged. The only thing I want right now is a fight. Caption: Just then, the air splits with a swirling disc of runes and sparks. A portal opens and the Council’s chamber is visible on the other side of it.
Caption: A voice, seemingly from nowhere and everywhere all at once, speaks inside the group’s heads.
Caption: - Please standby, a Council member wishes to speak with you regarding your recent transgressions. -
Venom: We have enough voicesss in our headsss. Reveal yourssself coward!
Guillotine: I’m in agreement with Venom, no shadows here. Step into the light if you want to have a chat. Caption: - Acknowledged. In person debriefing scheduled in 3 ... 2 ... -

Caption: - ... 1. Council representative deployed. -
Caption: From out of the portal steps the ever-lovin’ blue eyed Thing, Ben Grimm.
Thing: Alright kids, ya’ had your run around and playtime. Reed says it’s time to come back home. Carina: We will not be spoken to as though we are children, you do know I am eons older than you, don’t you? Thing: Ya act like a spoiled brat, ya’ get treated like a spoiled brat. That’s what I know. Put on your big Elder pants, and face the consequences. Carina: Ben, what I’m doing here is to save us all. It’s not the kind of thing you stop half way through. I’m not going back to the Council. Thing: My bad, you thought this was a debate or somethin’. I ain’t askin’, I’m tellin’. You’re reporting in to the Council. Carina: Summoner, you’ve faced this sort of thing before. Hold them off while we make a break for it. Thing: Ah, don’t make me hurt the Summoner. I mean I wanna, and I’m gonna, but Reed is gonna give me hell about it after.
Caption: - ... 1. Council representative deployed. -
Caption: From out of the portal steps Misty Knight. She cracks the knuckles of her mechanical hand and narrows her eyes at the group.
Misty Knight: When we call, you answer. Inclusion of the Council in your little plans is not an optional thing. Carina: By the time I’d finish explaining myself, had endless meetings, and countless arguments, the Battlerealm will be lost. I don’t have time. Misty Knight: You want to lead all by yourself? You’re not a one Elder army. Ægon: She is indeed not, she is surrounded by friends and supporters. Misty Knight: Great, then one of you can come back and explain what the hell it is you think you’re doing. You want to walk over, or shall I drag you? Carina: We aren’t in a talking mood, you’ll have to chat with the Summoner and see what you can learn. Misty Knight: All I’m going to learn is how fast your attack dog can be put on a leash.

Caption: From out of the portal, the sorcerer Wong slowly steps out. He glances about the alien landscape and sighs deeply.
Wong: I was meant to be on vacation you know! A stack of trashy novels and some yak’s milk are waiting for me. Alright then, through the portal. Carina: We’re not going, Wong. We have work to do and that work isn’t endless debate. Wong: If it’s so urgent and dangerous, don’t you think a few more people should know about it? Strength in numbers. Through the portal now. Carina: Not everyone can be trusted with this. There’s dangers here you can’t understand. Wong: If you don’t tell me, it’s a lot harder to understand. You want to find a fight? I can help with that at least. We will have a fight. Ægon: Summoner, Wong wants a fight. Oblige him as we take our leave, if you’d be so kind. Wong: I apologize, I’m going to have to really make a show out of how bad I knock you on your butt, Summoner. It’s a warning to the others.
