Zeta knights Prelude (1-2)
The high convent was gathered, Knight Templar Ruatha was heading the discussions.
It mostly was about distribution of resources, some law changes that would make tax declarations easier, the question wheather heretic teachings should be allowed to be discussed in the schools and that kind of affairs.
Nothing exciting that would take that haunting yawn away from the delegats minds, but important enough that most would show up for the discussions.
Knight Templar Ruatha concluded the current discussion and started on the next;
- And so we have the usual report on the quest for the Purpose and the Reason.
All that have any leads, speak now!
As usual when this point in the day was reached a sad silence spread in the room and the delegats started looking at the floor... When suddenly another voice was heard.
All the delegats looked up in shock, for another one to speak before the Knight Templar had closed the point and moved on the the next was unheard of, shocking, heretic.. to interrupt this moment of contemplance for the Purpose and the Reason.
None could even in their most farfetched imagination belive that someone actually had a lead on the Purpose or the Reason!
-If it pleases the Convent, the Sky Search has perhaps found a lead on the purpose, but so far not of the reason.
The head Bishop of the Sky Search had raised and walked into the center of the floor. Becoming illuminated by the soft light seeking it's way through the windows far above in the basilica and resilient enough to traverse the dusty atmosphere in the room to finally strike upon the bishops purple robes as he continued speaking in the center of the dome.
-As we have stated in numerous published articles we have found objects in space called wormholes. Apart from constantly searching the sky we have been monitoring all known wormholes for 67 years now. And until today they have always been the same; emitting a weak fluctuating radio pulse frequancy, but nothing showing any signs of intelligence.
This have changed.
The impact this had upon the delegats could be seen, the dust particles in the air took a sudden leap towards the gathering as they made a deep collective inhale.
The Bishop continued:
The Last three days we have through the wormholes received signals from no less than three different alien species, and after heavy work we have been able to decipher and translate the signals for two of them.
And the main subject in most of the both races communications are the same.... they have a Purpose.
The delegats slowly raised in their benches and leaned towards the floor where the bishop stood, in order to hear better what he was saying, needless of course as the acustic properties of the dome made his voice carry to everyone there.
-They all speak of a quest, such as we do.
They search for an ancient artifact called the Sphere.
And these aliens aren't created here in our part of the universe! They have come here in search of their purpose, and both races seems convinced it's located here, close to us!
We in the Sky Search belive they have been sent here to guide us towards our Purpose.
Now the crowd was staring to chatter amongst themself and the Knight Templar Ruatha would have to call for silence before the discussion could continue.
And continue it did... food was brought in after some time and the discussion carried on for almost two consecutive days and nights before the delegats returned to their cells and fell into a long wanted deep sleep.
But decisions where made, and plans where set into motion...
The Knights where going to the Sky.
