i can certainly try! i’m sure fred would be able to, i could create another big bang lizard to send your way!

[Forced Emergency Broadcast; Final Sunset, Restarting the Cycle]

FS: Ah!

FS: It is working..!

FS: Oh, right, directions!

FS: I, ah, barely know a reference point, but I think I'm near the big water source near an individual called "Big Sis Moon"..!

*very loud creaking noise*

FS: Oh no...

*cut off cracking sound*

[End Broadcast]

[Unknown Signal: Location-Unknown: ???, all other participants in range]

???: AGH-! AHA..! This is finally functional..!

???: ... is there even anyone else getting this..?

???: Had to [unintelligible static/glitching]... don't know how long my puppet's heart cell will last... if anyone finds my broken structure, do NOT panic!! ... please..?

???: Left it to avoid malfunction... don't know where I'm going. Found another superstructure fairly close to 'Big Sis Moon', though..!

???: Oh, get back here-!

*loud af static + glitching sounds*

[End Broadcast]

oh you’re still functional! thank the ancients! my scout came back after finding your derelict superstructure and i feared the worst! are you at big sis moon right now? she used to connect to another iterator, five pebbles, before collapsing. i can send dart (the turbo lizard) over there to help, i just need to know what to send!

Dunno..o

Trying to avoid water right now...

Get back to you when I find a reference point. >~<

ok, if you do happen to see a smaller than normal lizard with a pink, white, and cyan body and is holding a pearl, try to flag it down, it’s sent for you

the pearl is junk, it’s some notes about a failed experiment from a while ago, she just likes to carry it around. feel free to overwrite it with a message if you need to

Oh, wh- ACK-!

... just got double-teamed by two creatures..? Uhh... not fully sur- ooh..!

... why is this like fhis..? And where-? Ngh... well, I see why it was a failed experiment, *wry mechanical laugh*. There's that, plus a message!

oh hello dart! did they receive my pearl?

i see, they adjuated my experiment notes for me, i’ll have to test that, did they also leave a message?

yes they did! now what does it say…

"I found her..."

"She's, ah, also in rough shape..."

"She might not have had a situation like mine, but hers is no better than her brother's..."

"Either way, I'm planning on going to meet and chat with Five Pebbles, and possibly Guardian of Secrets Untold, soon."

"Talk to you later!"

-Finale

ok, they found her, that’s good. who is guardian of secrets untold? another iterator? i must ask them, dart, take this pearl and go!

contents of pearl:

“it is good that you have found big sis moon, even if her situation isn’t much better. who is guardian of secrets untold? i’ve not heard of them before, are they another iterator? do i need to send any supplies to you?”

[Forced Broadcast; Guardian of Secrets Untold, Final Sunset, Restart the Cycle]

GoSU: Who is this?

FS: FINALLY! It took ages to reach you again!

GoSU: I thought I told you, Finale-

FS: Yes yes I am well aware of all of that! I was reaching you in order to explain who you are to RtC here!

RtC: Hello? Are you the Guardian of Secrets Untold I was informed of?

RtC: I was contacted by Finale with a request to make a creature with capabilities to combat Ancients, but they were interrupted mid broadcast by what I can only assume was their superstructure collapsing

RtC: They managed to reach me after that, and last I had contacted them they were near Looks to the Moon’s superstructure, or what’s left of it

RtC: They said they were on their way to meet you or Five Pebbles. It seems they have successfully reached you

FS: Oh, actually, someone decided only now to try reaching me again..! Care to explain, o great Guardian?

GoSU: Indeed... I only reached out to contact Finale, and he is apparently connected to you (somehow) so...

GoSU Anyways, about my par-

FS: Oh also, I'm actually somewhere around the side of FP! Almost forgot to mention that...

GoSU: ... that aside, I will reiterate that I have absolutely no intentions of attempting as dangerous a project as that, Finale.

FS (with notable sarcasm): Well, it's far too late for that, now isn't it?!

RtC: What’s happening? Are you ok Finale? Do you still need the creature? I’ve been prototyping it (and adding quite a few dents into my chamber walls), i think i’m nearing the balance between power and controllability needed

FS: It... is complicated. My structure's collapse seems to have 'resolved' the issue, albeit by flattening it.

GoSU: I did say "let them work it out".

FS: (Not helpful.) That aside, I believe all I truly need now is a good space to stay, as wandering is taking a severe toll on me.

RtC: I would offer my structure, but it is quite the trek from Five Pebbles and my environment is not the safest. Which may or may not be my fault. I also do not know how Fred would react to another iterator, I worry he would be territorial if you were to stay. There is my group senior, Monarch to None, but I don’t know if he would be kind enough to shelter you, and his environment is also not the safest. Which is only partly my fault this time

RtC: Is there anything I could send to assist? If you wish to try to make your way to my structure, I would be happy to let you stay. I can only do so much to protect you though, so be careful

FS: Doubtful... I have considered trying part of Guardian's structure...

GoSU: (Don't you dare!)

FS: Buuuut her no doubt grown collection of rot killers and creature collectors makes that a horrible idea at best. I may be able to discover such a place after chatting with FP though!

FS: Funnily enough, I might be able to see your structure from here, albeit the ones I assume are Sig- I mean... No Significant Harassment's and Seven Red Suns's are likely mildly in the way.

GoSU (smug): You almost said the wrong title there, frien-

FS (valid (mild) crashout -ing): Can it, Depression Central!!

GoSU: ...

[Broadcast Member [Guardian of Secrets Untold] has muted themselves]

FS (calmer but tense): Anyways, I'm nearly inside.
