The Humans who lived through it are long dead, and any contemporary [[Exo]]s have been rebooted several times since then. Most data, even when encoded and protected in engrams, has degraded too badly to be recovered, especially under the post-Collapse conditions on Earth. But I heard about [[Neptune]]—the city of Neomuna, and the people who hid there during the Collapse. I suspected they might have more complete records.</span> | ||
<span style="color:#40678e;">The journey to Neptune was long and quiet, but the rumble of a ship's engines is as familiar to me as any lullaby. It's a shame that there isn't any remote uplink to Neomuna's archives yet, but to be honest, I relished the chance to visit it myself. The stories and images were pale mimicries of the city: the lights, the colors, the sounds!</span> | <span style="color:#40678e;">The journey to Neptune was long and quiet, but the rumble of a ship's engines is as familiar to me as any lullaby.

<span style="color:#40678e;">Rasputin seems to have enjoyed abstruse terminology - useful for masking intent, but quite difficult to parse. How do I pronounce CARRHAE? Is it easier without mandibles? Perhaps I should start a dictionary. It would be easiest to ask [[Anastasia Bray|Ana Bray]] directly, as she knew the most about Rasputin, but I thought it might be… discourteous, to ask so soon after his passing.</span> | <span style="color:#40678e;">Rasputin seems to have enjoyed abstruse terminology - useful for masking intent, but quite difficult to parse.

<span style="color:#40678e;">Still, I cannot understand why the Black Fleet would choose to deploy gravitational weapons. If they were totally unharmed by humanity's greatest weapons - if the Witness could disassemble entire fleets with a wave of its hand - why would they need to use such comparatively slow weaponry?</span> | <span style="color:#40678e;">Still, I cannot understand why the Black Fleet would choose to deploy gravitational weapons.
