In conjunction with a small crew of Loyalists and a Guardian confidant named [[Katabasis]], Calus attempted to communicate with the [[The Witness|Witness]] using [[Scorn]] and the [[Crown of Sorrow]], aboard a ship called the ''[[Glykon Volatus]]'', to demand an explanation for its actions, which Calus had seen as underwhelming. Further investigation would reveal that Calus also desired to obtain power from the Darkness using the same manner as the aforementioned communion, and share it with the crew he had sent. At this point, Calus's physical form had become decrepit, and he spent much of this time within a containment frame which constantly supplied him with [[Royal Wine]].<ref>https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/entry-1-charons-silhouette?highlight=royal+wine</ref> | |||
Calus had the ''Glykon'' anchor off of [[Phobos]], at the edge of the Anomaly left by the disappearance of Mars. Calus then made the Scorn wear the Crown, stitching their minds together through the use of [[Egregore]], and then have his Councilors channel his will through it and speak to the Darkness. Although the communions initially failed, eventually they would succeed, and the ''Glykon'' plunged into the Anomaly and overrun by Scorn and Egregore, while Calus disappeared. | |||
The Emperor had actually managed to commune with [[the Witness]], and it told him to seek more in the anomaly of [[Mercury]]. Calus returned to the Leviathan and traveled to where Mercury once stood, plunging into the gravity shadow. Though he was afraid his ship would be torn apart like the ''Glykon'' had been, the Leviathan survived the trip, though changed. In this communion, Calus managed to truly converse with the Witness, and understood what their plans were, even for him. He accepted his intended place as a [[Disciples of the Witness|Herald]], and resolved to prove his loyalty to their cause by shedding his body and becoming more than himself.<ref>[[Duality (dungeon)|Repressed Memories 9-12]]</ref> | The Emperor had actually managed to commune with [[the Witness]], and it told him to seek more in the anomaly of [[Mercury]].
