Draiss waited until the noise stopped, before giving everyone a flat, slightly disappointed look. "That plan was made before I met most of you, as you would have realized by the timestamp on the slate, and due to the fact that none are named in the information. It simply calls the ones that would have worked with me specialists. Not companions, consorts, wives, or whatever."<br/><br/>He tapped the slate, before bringing up the meeting with tainted Reekesha, nodding to Ama. "As for the second part... well, gonna blame V'elen for this one. That is the name of the beyonder who is nesting inside of me, and is responsible for my rise to godhood. As responsible for my 'survival,' term used loosely, of the blast that I just lived through a second time."<br/><br/>He had spent hours trying to translate the meeting, but they would be aware that it was a substandard attempt, though considering that the two beyonders had had an hour long conversation inside of about five seconds, most of it not verbal, but V'elen had been unwilling to assist in the translations, so he had to go with what he remembered, and it showed. Subtitles were a necessity. He simply played the dataslate large as life, up to and including V'elen tauntingly binding Reekesha to him for three cycles. He smiled, as the recording ended, and then picked up that slate. "So yes, I am now working with the beyonders against a threat that is to them what they are to a common mortal. Any questions? Oh, and the three cycle limit is another reason I abandoned the zero gambit plan. Can't keep the beyonders from destroying everything if I am dead, now can I?"
