The Game

Tamara figures she'll have to study this docent in more detail before she can get any specifics. She is familiar with records of medical docents and based on those speculates it will provide medical aid to their Warforged when injured or unconscious, and may empower a Warforged to provide magical healing.

The docent continues to communicate in its deep voice, which does not really match its youthful, excited demeanour.

"Thank you for asking Warp X! L0-C0 is fine!

Historical or tactical knowledge regarding astronautical phenomena: this does seem outside of my field of expertise. I can comment on the effects of Siberys radiation. It can be beneficial in short-term bursts - I have found several anecdotal reports that a short rest can feel like an entire night's sleep. But, prolonged exposure can overcharge organic tissue and construct internals, causing either to break down.

Magic is also affected by Siberys radiation. It tends to make things more powerful, but also unpredictable. Unpredictable magical surges are common in areas of elevated Siberys radiation.

Hmm, it looks like you are currently experiencing elevated levels of Siberys radiation. You are not in immediate danger, but try not to stay too long, okay Warp X?."

As for the details of its previous assignments, L0-C0 explains:

"My purpose for some time now has involved adapting construct shells for providing mobility to catastrophically injured Jotun warriors. The shell is an incomplete construct, like yourself but without a mind. I act as the liaison between the Jotun and the shell. It is hard work as the Jotuns never sleep anymore. This is alarmingly unhealthy but the shell has insufficient sensors for me to understand what is happening. Nonetheless they seem to be living very long lives. I suspect the Siberys radiation may have affected them. Maybe we can check in on them sometime, Warp X?"

"It varies, but the probability increases every hour. Initial exposures can actually be beneficial. I haven't connected to The Archives for a long time, you might want to check there."

Based on the descriptions from the scouting party and her own experience of viewing the asteroid from afar, Tamara places her clairvoyance spell near the Aurora.

From what she can see, The Aurora has experienced significant hull damage and is currently rolled on its side. The skeleton crews work tirelessly despite the layer of frost that covers their bones. Their work looks choreographed and is precise like clockwork. The skeletons seem to be divided into two groups. One is working to strengthen and patching the damaged hull while the other is binding the ship with ropes, possibly in an effort to roll it back upright. The damaged hull has several holes large enough for medium-sized beings like yourselves to slip through, some of which are not being attended by Skeletons, and they seem to lead directly into the belly of the ship.

You also see that there is are hatches on the at the fore and aft top deck of the ship - metal doors with wheels that you spin to seal or unseal the hatch to allow ingress/egress. The top deck is relatively undamaged and has fewer skeletons, except those that are securing the ropes for turning the ship.

"I don't have enough information to answer these questions. Sorry boss! Hey, update on attunement - we're 50% there. Siberys radiation seems to speed up this process."

"I do have memories of prior construct partners, Warp X."

L0-C0 responds to Warp X's question:

"My previous partner was a Titan model construct. It was forged with no identity stamp or free will, and missing several physical features so as to accommodate the grievously wounded Jotun which rode it. It was forged in the Creation Forges* aboard Praxis Alpha six years ago."

* All Warforged are born in Creation Forges. On Khorvaire, the Creation Forges are owned and operated by House Cannith, who found them in Xen'drik ~30 years ago. They reconstructed the machines and discovered how to operate them, leading to the creation of the Warforged. Creation Forges are all shut down and dismantled now, as per the Treaty of Thronehold, an international agreement that ended the Last War and gave Warforged their freedom. Some Warforged believe that they can never be a true people until the Creation Forges reassembled and under their control.
