Decades ago, the Neke vanished, leaving behind their majestic palace, the Ovon. In their absence, others ventured into the Ovon and made it their home, most notably Amanita (who renovated parts of it to her own liking) and her 'pet' Twin. |

About a year after Amanita's arrival, the first of a new brood of Neke hatched from their eggs, somewhere deep in the roots of the Ovon. Raised by nurse-servitors, Okyno and Atcinna have most of the knowledge of adults upon their emergence from the cocoon, but may lack some of the wisdom a proper Chitin upbringing might have provided. |

Upon receiving subtle threats from Okyno, Amanita took measures to defend her position, employing Twin and some volunteers from her harem as bodyguards, and making [overtures] to N'Cheren? of the Chmee brood, looking for potential allies. |

Meanwhile, Neke-Atcinna caught sabina wandering the newly regrown corridors, looking for Amanita, and put her to work as a nectar-provider. Kehari? stumbled upon sabina and rescued her, and she and her owner, Lysette, later purchased sabina from the Architecture (see the logs for more). |

Okyno was recently spotted [taking Amanita for a walk] near the heart of Topwarp. Amanita was perfectly lucid, if subdued, and more herself than many had feared. She managed to dissuade System from (his) plan to infiltrate the Ovon. |

Returning to the Mess after a long absence, N'kenge was [outraged] to learn that Amanita had been taken by Chitins, and warned Kehari that the vixen's plan to rescue Twin and Amanita was foolish at best. N'kenge doubtless has plans of her own, but she is characteristically cryptic about them. And the Neke are characteristically [unperturbed] by them. |

In the meantime, in the halls of the Ovon, Amanita and Twin (the Singer and the Celestial to the Neke, who avoid the use of proper names) have been quietly undergoing their training. And waiting, perhaps, for the right moment to act. |
