Draiss started laughing, before shrugging. "Honestly? Let me work. I am probably the most powerful symbiotic in the multi-planar-verse, and these are the largest KNOWN concentration of tainted. Assuming that they are all tainted, and not just the hive mind and the armored Lurkers. Sorry, went on a tangent, I do that sometimes.<br/><br/>Anyhoo, for this, we were caught off guard due to the comm interruption, but now that we have identified the issue, we are working around it. Every trick they throw at us, we learn from and get smarter and more dangerous. However, we only mobilize like this for major beyonder problems, and usually we send out an all gods message about major problems happening on a plane where they have followers. So let me post a squad or two on each plane, just to keep tabs on any incursions or taints, and if I ask for help, at least consider it. I mean, Lady Lloth just pledged a thousand troops to my cause, though what I can use them for I have no idea. Maybe help in finding more taints..."<br/><br/>He paused for a moment, before shaking his head and shrugging, something Sune would recognize as almost compulsive for him, going on tangents. "Sorry, tangent again. Help? Not sure, but if I do, I will let everyone know. If I encounter a problem, I will let you know, but for the sake of the planes, let me work. I will bend the rules often to get results, but if I know about the rule, I will avoid breaking if at all possible. Those pieces of a plane that the constructs are collecting are so they can continue doing their job. They claimed the plane I destroyed during my ascension madness, and have been mining it for the necessary metals they need, and they are worried about eventually running out, hence why I approved capturing more derelict planes for their needs. The bombs that Gammon said could cause planar destruction? Well, you see what we are up against, and I am not even breaking out the biggest ones we have. The continent might be a flat desert by the time we get done, but they will help rebuild it from that if they can. We are not being a random threat here, so please, for the sake of the future of the planes, let us work."<br/><br/>He sat down at the table and sighed. "Besides, you should see what the research stations at the edges of the planes are finding. They have determined that the beyonders initially built the illithids to try and undermine the planes from within, and since they are taking too long, they have started trying new things. They also have found tangential evidence that there is another race, similar to the illithids, that gather information for them, but we can't find out if they went extinct for being ineffective or if they are still active."
