You are there, beneath the Great Machine? @BOTZA-GUEST: Yes. Without your assistance, we would never have survived the Vex attack. @EURFOB: This is clear. And from this gratitude, you now speak in Human language during private correspondence? @BOTZA-GUEST: I follow custom, and I do not wish my hosts to think I hide my words from them. @EURFOB: How gracious. But Vex attacking you when House Salvation did? Curious, yes? @BOTZA-GUEST: I have not had much time to ponder it. @EURFOB: How are the survivors? The hatchlings? Your daughter? @BOTZA-GUEST: They are all well. Eido is excited beyond words. She has dreamed of this day, but never believed it would come. @BOTZA-GUEST: Why did you not come with us? @EURFOB: The Great Machine has no business with Variks. Besides, who would keep an eye on Eramis? @BOTZA-GUEST: I thought she— @EURFOB: Always the hatchling. Nothing is forever. @EURFOB: We know this. [long silence] @BOTZA-GUEST: I must go, Variks. There is much to do. @EURFOB: Walk quietly in your own shadow, Misraakskel.
