His suggestions are, in fact, denied, the first for being too difficult to get in and out of, with the samples, and the second, for being too close to Draiss' domain. They eventually settle on a neutral point, close to the border to Beyonder space.<br/><br/>About three days before the first delivery is scheduled to occur, however, Draiss receives a fairly urgent report from the Stalker collective, informing him about a situation on one of the material planes. The plane had been mostly written off due to being incredibly heavily infested by Beyonder symbiotes, though they were relatively passive; deeply entrenched, but not aggressive, to the point that the cost to drive them out would be absurdly high, on par with the Lurker War, but the actual benefits would be minor, as the mortals on the plane are at least alive and relatively peaceful, if not in the best living conditions.<br/><br/>All of that changed, however, in the last seventy-two hours. A new organization has been sweeping the land, calling themselves the Children of the Light, and, perhaps most fascinatingly, they've been fighting, and<em>winning,</em>against the symbiote forces, and seem to be using bizarre weapons the constructs have never seen before, but seem to be powered by a Beyonder source, themselves, and a number of them seem to be empowered to near-divine levels. All-in-all, an extremely unusual situation, that likely deserves Draiss' direct attention.
