Caion,
I have set what wheels I can in motion, to begin the evacuation of Almachadta. I beg of you–coordinate with a yeresh-in-training named Izaak, and Salme’s predecessor Badri, that they may have your aid in this. Izaak, at least, has a tomestone–I am not sure about Badri. I have told them to bring what supplies they can.
Be warned–some of the refugees may be bearing corrupted fruits with them–they cannot be allowed into the refuge we are creating. If you find any, burn them without hesitation. They cannot be allowed to root. They will be appealing. Be careful. I do not know what state those who have tasted of those fruits will be in. It is possible they simply will not leave, but…if any afflicted do come, I beg your aid on their behalf, as well.
I apologize, my friend. Your shoulders bear enough burdens without adding those that should rightfully be mine and mine alone. But I beseech you–help save those of my people that you can.

Badri’s got a tomestone, yes. We even communicated briefly at some point before all of this, albeit mostly to share a joke about Archie. But, yes, I’ll make sure to talk to both of them, and also to Jae. It’s… incredible to think that after all of this– well, that there were so many people to meet just one world sideways from where I lived my whole life. And that I’m finally going to get to meet them. And that, if we work together, and with this weird space Emberlight discovered, we’ll be able to save so much of our worlds. I believe it’ll work, I really do. I have to believe it, but also… I really think it will.
Noted, as regards the corrupted fruit. I wonder… hm, it wouldn’t be safe to bring one to me as an example… wait, I know! At some point while you’re still in the void– I apologise if the memory is unpleasant, but could I ask you to engage in methexis with me, and remember what they are like? That should give me enough information that I can construct a device to monitor for their gnosis-signature, just to be safe, and that’d be a lot less invasive than searching everyone’s belongings for weird, evil fruit.
Thank you for the heads up - I’ve got the best minds in the Academy working on the logistics, here! None of us are alone in this. I don’t think any of us ever will be, ever again, to be honest. I hope not, anyway.

I shall attempt to share that information, if we get the chance. Thank you, my friend. Your hope gives me hope. It is good to be reminded of all we shall yet save. Be well, and we shall speak soon.
