Okay, so somehow this guy used Ace's bident to send a message backstage, and that's why the Travellers are here. He sent out an SOS, and say what you will about Arcana meddling or the protagonists of all world's shittiest isekai, Travellers are unified by wanting to help.

Speaking personally, I don't care who gets the privilege of yelling at at an Adversary for Doing His Own Thing as long as Ace gets her bident back. But I'll defer to the others expertise here. Leader? I hardly know 'er. And I know y'all say I protest too much.

It was Travelers who aided Allura and Thae--ah, the first ones, not AA or my late uncle--in striking back against our Diabolin masters. I'm inclined to tentatively trust them.

Did they? AA, that's legit?

...Right, the legend of the Girl Who Dreamed In Waking, Champion of Pilots. That's Traveller bullshit, wasn't it?

Yes. The Champion of Pilots was a Traveler. There were others, of course, with them. When I was small I would always sigh over the Oracle of Oaths, beautiful as the dawn, who though he had no powers to bring to bear in the fight, came in a shirt of mail and bearing a sword--and with that sword killed six Diabolin on his own.

... ah, no offense to modern Diabolin of course. Sorry, Ace.

...none taken. The Diabolin Empire was pretty shitty to basically everyone. I figure this is kind of like humans not getting mad when we fuck up the nightmares with the red armbands and go "FUCKING HUMANS" about it.

Another thing to get my Rage up I guess.

Ugh, those red armband human nightmares are the worst. Even more than the giant test proctors you get during Hecatite exam season.

...I can safely say FUCK the Red Armband Squad. Just... trust me, you can frag any human who does get mad at lumping them in with those guys on sight.

Those guys tried to stamp out my religion at least three times and we survived to have feast days about it and they can die mad about it.

Right. Note to self: Red Armbands are Human Ancient Diabolins and should be treated as such.

He did that to Ace? What a jerk!

How did he even get it down there? Why isn't it in another Era right now?

Ah, Shinji, how quickly you forget the lessons you taught us yourself. Was it not you who realized you could pin a motherfucker to the wall with a Bident, and that, in fact, Bidents were really, really good at pinning shit to Dreams?

He just pinned it so hard it got stuck.

I didn't know that would work on something like the Bore!

Wait, so - I think I can get it back. But I'll need to borrow another Bident, or to find someone who can make mine really big, and if we don't want Oracles asking questions we'll need everyone away from the Bore.

A Dark Oracle - if it wasn't her Doppelganger Doppelganging, ye like unto a Doppelganger - suggested getting some Dreamshapers together to work the wall, which is probably a good thing to do alongside your idea. \

A plan that I'm sure will go over with the Oracles like a lead zeppelin, but maybe if it was their dreamshapers...

Well, I guess that's easier to try first. We can always do the flashy stuff later.

I'm ready to either be a hostage or try my Oracles Hate This One Trick.

Titan gave us a better trick.

Sticking to stuff is magic.

So get a Pillar to un-magic it temporarily.

That is pretty good.

I saw there was some trouble with Grant earlier - if you and Ace are okay with it, maybe we can switch out guard duty? No offense, Ace, but having to look at his face every minute can't be making you feel great.

Please god.

The only thing keeping me sane is Casper teaching me new swear words. Most of these are casually referring to religious terms, but with enough vehemence that "Chalice" is roughly equivalent to "Fuck!"

You humans have some really fascinating languages, a whole goddamn symphony of fucks. It's truly inspiring.

Then let's trade before you give in and kick him in his kintamas!

Yeah, you know, we're not like you long-time space-farers. I don't even know how many languages there are back on Earth, but there are like twenty Colonial languages? Mandarin, Japanese, Korean, English, French, Spanish, Navajo, Lakota, Bantu, Swahili, Hausa, um... Norwegian... Russian, Hebrew, Arabic, Persian, Kazakh, Urdu, Hindi, Tamil... Indonesian... and I'm missing at least one, I don't know what they speak in New Zomia.

I think it's the fact that all y'all are less warlike than the Diabolin and, yes, try not to think about that because I have had history lessons from Pez every megasec on the megasec.

How the fuck did either of our ancestors blast off into space instead of getting turned to glass I don't know, but I'm grateful.

Yeah, we gave it a pretty good try. Have you ever fought one of those big, billowy mushroom nightmares with the snowstorms and radiation?
