Kiloannum Orbit 26, Mysteries of Auphonia Part 5

Auña tries to include Tiffany and Argos in the plan with the Auphonian Explorers as everyone must prepare to head out to The Home of V & V. Ten, I'm worried about our baby brother. He has been spending a lot of time alone, working on that tree-like technology you had delivered to the palace. Though it's felt like a long time now that he's drifted further and further away. I would implore you to return home with haste. I have always lacked your propensity to reach out to him. I feel the void left in my confidence without your advice. A man named Raphiel beseeched me and claimed that Crie's tree is stolen alien technology from beyond the stars. It sounds fantastical and I find myself at a loss at how to resolve the situation. - Nestia ========REFERENCE GUIDE========= 👥 CHARACTERS 👥 Archibold Linde [he/him]: Self-appointed Archeid of Feinzon.

This episode contains content warnings of trauma-related memory loss. Tempers flare between Auña and Mads while Tiffany begins to formulate a plan for a new project to work on with Ida. Argos' takes on Reinholt in a sparing match but it's Quill who has to face his rage. Seeking what cannot be found, the words I wish to say. But if I were to stick around maybe they would find me. Yet when I speak I hear the sound of pushing you away. So here I fly, caught in your tailwinds, waiting for you to look back at me. I miss when it was simple, when I felt like you were mine, but now my worst fear is coming true - I'm running out of time. I want you to want me. - Madolyn ========REFERENCE GUIDE========= 👥 CHARACTERS 👥 Archibold Linde [he/him]: Self-appointed Archeid of Feinzon. Once leader of the now-defunct Synergic Defence.
