<span style="color: #ffa64d">"The seed of a Great Devourer, yes. But that doesn't cause paranoia, does it, Empress?" </span>The Empress seemed surprised to be called out and looked over at Machinist.<span style="color: #b3b300">"No, it causes extreme pain and eventually kills you but it has no other side effects."</span><span style="color: #ffa64d">"Your mate was driven mad by torture and the seed was used to hide the evidence. "It's also why she's so protective of mortal mothers and children, because she was forced to watch her own be slaughtered as she had parts of her mind carved out. Forced to reproduce, watch the offspring die, and then have that memory butchered until there was what you see today remaining. Empress can rebuild her, she's been gathering the memories and pieces. I can see you have them stockpiled at your little star. I can see everything."</span>Empress took a deep breath and let it out slowly.<span style="color: #b3b300"> "Yes. I can give you the whole Chaos... The'kal back, the sane and dependable woman you once called your mate. Of course I don't want to, I want you to myself, but I told you that I would do anything for you and I meant it." </span>Machinist looked at Elune as she left and then back to Order.<span style="color: #ffa64d">"You are family, we are supposed to help each other."</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
