[voice] Of Orion the Hunter

[viditlibertas]

[Even without actual video, it's pretty clear that the speaker is rather exhausted, or just too beyond putting emotional inflection in his voice.]

The Pleiades, attendants of Artemis and the lost daughters of Atlas, became one with the night sky to comfort their father. Orion, the Great Hunter who was slain by the Scorpion of Artemis, sought to conquer them. However, in his way lies the Great Bull, with it's fiery eye fixated on the Hunter.

[There's a pause, however brief, and his tone shifts to something a little more humanlike.]

Though there are many variations on these myths, it may be wise to also look in to them.

And the Archer positioned at the Scorpion's back, bow at the ready, in case it should ever attack the Hunter again.

The interrelations of the constellations themselves are almost as complicated as the astronomy trappings mankind has created. It is no wonder many of the constellations are also worshiped as gods.

It is entirely possible that these attacks from the heavens may follow a pattern. It would...not be the only time, after all.

Well, you would know that better than anyone. It's a good starting point, at least. If my guess turns out to be on the mark, we should presumably be looking for those born under fire signs to be affected the next time. And just in time for Christmas, too.

[viditlibertas]

...I suppose I would.

However, it is also worth noting that mankind's own belief and impact may well be at work here. The power of 'rumors' is strong in this city, and if there is a local superstition tied to the constellations of the zodiac, we 'Visitors' may need to be taught about them.

It is curious that the various wards are named after the zodiac, as well...

[terminally_clever]

I'd planned to research the effects of the zodiac curse anyway, so I suppose I'll just add that to the pile of things to look into.

[viditlibertas]

If possible, I will attempt to lend my aid. However, I lack a certain...viewpoint that mankind may be better suited to.

[tl;dr knowing All The Myths makes it hard for him to know what ones humans Know or Care About and then it just ends up a muddled mess of akashic information.]

I am glad you have decided to undertake this project. [Because you're, you know, the one that understands all this Cosmic stuff the best.]

[terminally_clever]

Putting both perspectives together may lend some insight that neither would be capable of on its own, though.

[viditlibertas]

If someone can put both sides together efficiently and quickly, it would be you.

However, please be warned- there are safeguards within the system itself that would complicate the process. I am sure it would be no trouble for you, however allies are better than enemies.

[terminally_clever]

Thanks for the vote of confidence.

[A small grin.]

Safeguards? I don't suppose you'd care to be a little more forthcoming with the details.

[viditlibertas]

...I'm afraid it would not be in either of our interests to incur the "wrath" of the safeguards. You will find "them", I am sure.

[tl;dr No.]

[terminally_clever]

I suppose I should have expected that answer too.
