Nexus Release 12 : The Hierarch Speaks
< This Nexus Release is purely in an audio format, lacking any visual or secondary information sources. Two voices are arguing as the audio begins to play: one is distinctly a Caldari female, the other speaks in a clear, languid male voice >
Female Voice 1 > This is irregular, the Overseer insists that I review and proofread everything for the Capsuleers.
Unknown Voice 1 > If I had wanted to write, I would have had someone do it for me, Raakel Claramond.
Raakel Claramond > If that’s all then I would gladly help transcribe your message.
Unknown Voice 1 > My words are not meant to be remembered, padisah.
Raakel Claramond > It’s one thing to avoid writing but another entirely when y-mmphh!
< There is audible muffling as something smothers whatever Raakel would have said next. >
Unknown Voice 1 > I want to hear my voice speak to them, hear them speak to me… Words mean nothing.
< Rustling and foot steps are heard, followed by the opening and closing of a door >
Unknown Voice 1 > Ahh, I have … offended her. < Sighing > I will have to think of some way to pleasure her wounded ego later …
Unknown Voice 1 > Hello, Capsuleers. I will introduce my … self, and ask you for a story…
Unknown Voice 1 > I am the Hierarch; the Exemans.
The Hierarch > I am speaking to you so that you might, grace me, with a story. I don’t know if I will understand, speaking in this manner is … excruciating. But I want to hear one; I want to hear many.
The Hierarch > Stories reach me every where at home. Stations without ceilings, ceilings made of blue and white … Fantastic stories that I want to live every day.
The Hierarch > New stories reach me every day at home. Small, single people doing great things. Stations without end, moved across the black waters. The others call these single people ‘Capsuleers’.
The Hierarch > What story could you tell me? Have you been on these stations without ceilings? Have you … have you …
The Hierarch > Ahh… I would love love to hear stories from you single people. No words, no words, just use your voice. I can listen with everyone else when you speak; I can listen when you speak for no one else…
