Conductor Network, week 2
(Including but not limited to Nightmare battle coordination.)
Titan I... think so? Probably? Your passenger and his likely one usually end up near each other. Pez I... don't know.
We can only wake up one person each per world we go to - it's a very powerful ability, so there's only so many times we can use it before it needs to recharge. At least that's the only way I can think of to explain it.

[Dryly,] It is a good thing I am of Relics, or I would not know what you mean.
...That's close enough to get ansible transmissions from Aratta.
Please inform... Allura the Liberator... that all spontaneous Conductors were either within ansible range of Aratta or had close contact to someone who was. Refer to her as "Artemis" in public; she will understand the message is from me.
Further inform everyone that of the 127 Conductors I surveyed, three are Synthetics. This is very strange given that Aratta is Bot City. Something about being a Synth makes them Insulated.
Something about being Conditioned also Insulates you, and I intend to seek out the Conditioned and learn anything I can that will help. I would be grateful for any and all help you can give me in providing and maintaining psychic defenses or preventing the spread. Give me some rubber gloves, here, if my touch is Conductive.

Were they all ones who asked to Conduct instead of woke up one of us?

Will do.
It's possible that she's compromised by teaching me this.

Faster than light communications array. Named for such a device in a Le'Guin novel. Warp radio, basically.
If there's anyone I think is probably not going to get compromised by this stuff, it's her. She knows all sorts of mental protection things. She's one of the reasons that those of us who stared into the abyss too long only got out of there with nightmares instead of shattered minds.
I absolutely have enough skill slots to handwave this and put in for these skills.

If I Condition myself beforehand that will help mitigate the risks.
Elves don't use electricity. But the diabolin do and when I am not working in the waking world, I explore their ruins.
It's fine. I know that many of the other dreaming peoples have technology we do not. And given that there were elves among the stars... but that is because the diabolin took us, you see?
Uh.
[There's a new voice on the conductor network.]
Alright.
Well this explains why I'm suddenly sporting a lot more silver than usual.
Which one of y'all pulled the metaphorical trigger?

For more information, please reread?
Or, to be less of a cheeky asshole about it, this is pretty much confirmation of what I suspected: you stared into the memes too long, and the memes also stared into you.
Welcome to the Cool Kids Club, let's work on not strongarming anyone else into it the way you were, and I'm sorry.

It is. But it is hundreds of years in the past and nothing I can change.
You know, if she felt like sharing, that might be helpful against our memeplex.
He is a more perfect Ortho than any other. And when he saw what a Conductor could be in service to that...
It wasn't fair to deny that to him. Not when we could help him make it what it could have been, if only they asked for volunteers.
In short, he is - pardon the term - a mensch par excellence, a jewel in the cracked crown of the Orthopraxy. If anyone understands what it means to be a Conductor, the spirit of the Orthos, and why we are such a danger to it's soul... he does.
I think you're a very lucky girl.

I am. I really am. Oh Leah, I can feel him again.
... I can't leave now. Not with him here with me again. We need to figure out how to fix us. Make us those Resistors you talk about.
we technically don't need these threads anymore but they're rad

Teach me, sifu.
We have the Travelers working on it, with help from the inside. We won't know what it looks like till we get there... but I wouldn't be afraid even if I could be.
Maybe it'll even look like an Othropraxy that Titan can be proud of.
Cut straight through the illusions, soar despite our confusion, to a sky-blue revolution...
