RESISTANCE AGENT REPORT Communication Transcript | @Takumi; @Makoto From: @Takumi To: XM Protection Network Subject: Strategic Implications of Persepolis Vision
[Log Begins] T: You've been different. More on edge, since you returned. What's going on?
M: It's... hard to describe. Something about the artifacts having both of them here, along with Devra it's stirring things up. Ever since Persepolis, I've felt... echoes. Residual Glyph resonance. But this time it's stronger. And different.
T: Different how? Did you see something new?
M: Yes, and no. The vision at Persepolis hasn't left me, but now it feels... incomplete. Like there's something I missed, and it's surfacing because of everything happening here. When I'm near the artifacts or Devra, it's like a ripple hits me - a fragment of the same ritual I saw before, but it's more vivid.
T: The one you told me about before? Where the people were trying to unify the artifacts? The one that ended in collapse?
M: Yes, but it's not just that. The Glyphs I'm seeing now they're... evolving. Changing. It's like the artifacts are responding to their proximity to each other and to Devra. They're reaching for something, but the balance isn't there. It's unstable. Like the whole system's searching for a missing piece.
T: That aligns with what we've been seeing in the Portals. There's something unstable about how the Anomalies are emerging and affecting the network. Like the artifacts are pulling toward each other and creating instability. But why now? Why would this intensify?
M: I think it's because they're close to achieving what the ritual couldn't. Proximity matters. The resonance grows stronger as they interact. Maybe Devra's condition is proof of that.
T: And the Glyphs? You've mentioned a new Glyph. Is it connected?
M: It has to be. The Glyph it's not just new. It's fundamental. It feels like... a stabilizer. The missing piece to stop the chaos. But it's not complete either. It's like the artifacts are trying to create it through their resonance.
T: So the artifacts are searching for balance, but they're creating chaos in the process. And Devra's somehow caught in the middle of it all.
M: Exactly. This isn't about the artifacts anymore. It's about Devra. Whatever's happening to her is tied to their interaction. If Maha can stabilize her, we might be able to stabilize the artifacts too. But if she can't...
T: Then we're looking at a system-wide collapse. That's what you're saying, right?
M: I don't know. But this about more than the Portal Network. I feel that. I feel like that's what I saw in that vision. If the artifacts unify without the stabilizer, the collapse could go far beyond that. This is bigger than us, Takumi.
T: I'll do what I can to help. Reach out to some Agents. Keep getting data from the field. We'll prioritize Glyph investigations. I'll make sure my network does what it can to help.
