At the same time, things have been changing on the topside of the warp. The Heliquary has lost its interim owner, and a new town square has opened up, featuring an impressive frozen spire of lightning. Several residents have experienced personal rebirths, sometimes literal, which also counted as induction into the gridshamans. An informal but close-knit tribe seems to be forming, consisting (for now) of Trilogee, Nikolai, Torque, and Induction-Coil.
While wandering Darkunder and discussing philosophy, Nikolai and Indi ended up in the Factory core, a place that seemed familiar to the coyote, but different as well, something wrong with it over and above the shattered crystal in the middle. Indi was possesed, briefly, by something that murmurred indistinctly about rebuilding the place. The two shamans felt compelled to sleep there that night, but little has happened since, other than quiet wonderings about what might happen next.
The idea eventually is to remake Darkunder as a gridshaman conclave, possibly housing a more formalized tribe formed around the current memebers. It would ideally also serve as a more general gathering/performance area. No real specific ideas of conflict have come up in the scenario so far, but that doesn't mean they aren't welcome.
and anyone else who wants to come in and make things interesting.
