If you require any further experience, please let me know, and I will assist in locating further work. Additional Comments: I resigned at the beginning of this year, mostly due to the fact that I had just begun my professional career as an attorney, and found I was very overwhelmed at the beginning, attempting to find time to develop a species, whilst also contributing to the greater projects of the team at the time. The last couple of months have been a bit of an up and down, but I've managed to carve myself a nice little slice of time during the evenings, where I've gotten into a groove of being able to dedicate a few hours every week to at least join the server. I believe that no further issues will crop up concerning my time limitations. I have no further examinations, and I completed the bar in August 2025. Though I understand that my previous experience and connection with the lore team may put me at a disadvantage, I am always a proponent that new blood is always better; however, I do believe that I will still be able to contribute to the Skrell Lore Development positively. I've learnt a lot in the last few months I've been away, particularly in relation to the impact of history on cultural phenomena, and "traditions and rules" so to speak, which is my dominant interest currently at the time of applying, which I will focus on showing. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1R1wfgtzNtTw01FR7J-otQoNPwdBKZWxqTDcEsn6xwKE/edit?usp=sharing Thanks!

Hi there. Apologies for the delay.

Article #6 of the Pactolus Rocky Horror Picture Show Vanishing Equipment: Temporal Distortions Lead to Bizarre Discovery at Ground Zero: Timestamps on Communications Logs Desynchronized, Raising Concerns of Local Time Distortions. By The Hierophant Writer [62 - 76%], posted 2466-23-02 from Ground Zero Research Zone. Here marks the sixteenth transmission of The Sacred Echoes of a Titan’s Bonded Progeny into the Voidic Rootsong Network, detailing the latest unsettling phenomena surrounding the Ground Zero Research Zone. In addition to the growing temporal anomalies, the Pactolus Exploration League has confirmed the unexplained disappearance—and reappearance—of critical research equipment. "Several pieces of high-grade scientific apparatus have gone missing without trace in the past weeks, despite being located in secure, closely monitored areas. The vanishing equipment has baffled researchers, and while most remain unaccounted for, one particular device—a subsoil resonance scanner—was recovered under mysterious circumstances.” Further listening is available here. "The scanner, missing for days, was found buried nearly ten metres beneath the surface, in a sector where no previous digging operations had taken place," J-33, a member of the League’s team station at Ground Zero, explained. "What’s even more unnerving is that, upon recovery, the scanner appeared to be at least 200 years older than when it vanished, showing advanced signs of wear and corrosion, as though it had been left in the ground for centuries." Experts in temporal mechanics have been called to investigate the phenomenon. There is growing concern that the temporal anomalies within Ground Zero are not only affecting time perception but actively distorting the very fabric of reality itself. With equipment ageing centuries in a matter of days, the League is now reviewing all protocols for continued research in the area, fearing greater distortions may follow. Translated from Rootsong.

Article #5 of the Pactolus Rocky Horror Picture Show A Moment Stolen: Missing Time Reported by Researchers at Ground Zero Crater Temporal Fluctuations Render Data Inconsistent Across Teams, Confounding Analysis Efforts By The Hierophant Writer [64 - 79%], posted 2467-07-02 from Ground Zero Research Zone. Here marks the fifteenth transmission of The Sacred Echoes of a Titan’s Bonded Progeny into the Voidic Rootsong Network, focusing on the alarming temporal anomalies emerging from the Ground Zero Research Zone. Several researchers stationed at the site have reported unsettling incidents of lost time. "The Pactolus Exploration League has confirmed that personnel working in the vicinity of Ground Zero have experienced unexpected lapses in time perception, with individuals claiming they lost up to several hours without any clear explanation. Initial speculations pointed to exhaustion or stress, but with multiple occurrences across different teams, concerns are growing that these incidents are linked to the crater's increasing temporal instability.” Further listening is available here. "My team lost three hours in what felt like minutes," reported one anonymous scientist. "One moment, we were running diagnostics, the next, we found our equipment had recorded hours of data we never witnessed." The League has increased monitoring efforts, with specialists being brought in to assess whether these 'time gaps' indicate the presence of a larger, more dangerous anomaly. Until further data is gathered, however, researchers at Ground Zero remain on high alert, with strict protocols in place to track any future time distortions. Translated from Rootsong.

Article #4 of the Pactolus Rocky Horror Picture Show Arc Voices in the Wind: Researchers Report Strange Phenomena at Ground Zero Crater Time is the only measurement consistently measured across the Spur. By The Hierophant Writer [63 - 76%], posted 2467-25-01 from Ground Zero Research Zone. Here marks the fourteenth transmission of The Sacred Echoes of a Titan’s Bonded Progeny into the Voidic Rootsong Network, centring around the eerie developments at the Ground Zero Research Zone on Pactolus. League researchers have reported disturbing auditory phenomena in the crater, leading to growing unease within the scientific community. "The Pactolus Exploration League has confirmed that personnel stationed at the Ground Zero Research Zone have begun documenting what can only be described as voices carried on the wind. Initial reports suggested faint whispers or cries, but subsequent investigations have detected patterns and frequencies that defy logical explanation.” Further listening is available here. The source of these "voices" remains unknown, though geologists and xenobiologists at the site have begun recording and analysing the sounds. Some scientists are speculating that the voices could be temporal echoes from the city that once stood where the crater now lies. “It's unclear if this is merely a natural phenomenon, or something far more ominous,” remarked Unforeseen Miracles of the Untouched Stars, a xenoarchaeologist with the League. Speculation abounds, but the League has assured the public that safety protocols remain in place, with enhanced monitoring of the Zone's temporal anomalies. For now, the voices in the wind continue to elude explanation, leaving many to wonder what secrets Ground Zero still holds. Translated from Rootsong.

Article #3 of the Pactolus Rocky Horror Picture Show Arc New Arcadie Anomaly Defies Scientific Explanation: Commission Struggles to Crack the Mystery Drones Report Distorted Spatial Coordinates, Stalling Direct Investigation By The Hierophant Writer [64 - 78%], posted 2467-13-01 from the New Arcadie Anomaly Zone. Here marks the thirteenth transmission of The Sacred Echoes of a Titan's Bonded Progeny into the Voidic Rootsong Network, centring around the Pactolus Exploration League in which the New Arcadie Anomaly Zone still illudes many on-site. “Incapable of understanding, evasion of scientific study still occurs at the New Arcadie Anomaly Zone, where challenges have stymied even the most advanced exploratory efforts by the Pactolus Exploration League. Despite… attempts to deploy drones equipped with cutting-edge technology, researchers report significant distortions in the spatial coordinates, hindering the ability to unlock the knowledge contained within the city. The anomalies are ever-shifting, unexpectedly, and have thwarted multiple attempts to reach the city, leaving many grappling with the implications of the enigmatic phenomenon.” Further listening is available here. Recent remote surveillance missions have yielded a trove of perplexing data, indicating that the anomaly may not conform to known physical laws. Analysis of the drones' readings suggests that New Arcadie exists within a fluctuating temporal bubble, causing disorientation in navigational systems. As the League delves deeper into this mystery, researchers are exploring the possibility that the anomaly is tied to residual energy from ancient technologies or even some form of quantum interference. The ongoing investigation has garnered significant interest from the scientific community, with experts theorizing that understanding this phenomenon could lead to groundbreaking advancements in bluespace manipulation and interdimensional travel. With each passing day, the League remains resolute in its commitment to uncovering the truth behind the New Arcadie Anomaly. While direct exploration remains elusive, the data collected thus far hints at a hidden complexity that challenges current scientific paradigms. As researchers continue to analyze the anomaly's characteristics, they remain hopeful that the secrets of New Arcadie may soon be revealed, potentially paving the way for transformative technologies and deeper insights into the fabric of reality itself.

NON-DIONAE - Skrell & Dionae: Hieroaetherian Studies

Lords Verdant Commence Their Work They Who Hath Become Lord Article #13 The long-awaited arrival of the Lords Verdant in the Viridis regions marks the next stage in the ongoing reclamation of the Wasteland. Following their formal appointment by Hegemon Not’zar Izweski in Skalamar, the Lords Verdant have now arrived in their respective territories, and are beginning their vital work. As the driving force behind the restoration project, Lady-Governor Aeikuzo has announced the commencement of the plans for the reclamation initiative, with the help of High Lord Verdant, Taarazi. The Lords Verdant—Steadfast Guardian of a World Reborn Against All Harm or Malfeasance and Ephemeral Connections Formed Upon Silent Shores—have each begun establishing their authority and setting plans in motion for the regions under their stewardship. Aeikuzo’s plans involve an ambitious strategy of bioterraforming, a method that uses Dionae to heal the Wasteland’s ecosystem. Drawing upon Dionae's natural ability to purify soil and water, this approach is expected to accelerate the regeneration of devastated areas around the Viridis. Taarazi will serve as a key advisor in these bioterraforming efforts, coordinating Dionae involvement in purifying the land and stabilizing the environment. Steadfast Guardian of a World Reborn has already begun operations in Ihaliz, a newly established settlement in the southern Wasteland. Ihaliz, located near the treacherous border with Gawgaryn territory, is a critical site for both reclamation and defense. Under Steadfast Guardian’s leadership, Ihaliz will serve as a fortified hub, ensuring both safety and expansion as the Wasteland is slowly revived. Reports from Ihaliz indicate that Steadfast Guardian has wasted no time in setting up defensive perimeters and organizing its forces. Some of the local populace has been conscripted, so as to build a militia, while the Dionae begin early reclamation efforts by utilizing their biological abilities to stabilize soil and clear radiation pockets so as to begin an agricultural industry. Meanwhile, Ephemeral Connections Formed Upon Silent Shores has arrived in Rehus, a burgeoning settlement in the mineral-rich northern Wasteland. Known for its diplomatic approach, Ephemeral Connections is focused on integrating nearby Wasteland communities into the growing Viridis project, while also addressing the economic potential of the region. Rehus is fast becoming a hub for mining and water trade, and Ephemeral Connections has already brokered deals with local factions, seeking to balance economic growth with environmental restoration. As Rehus rapidly expands, there is mounting pressure on Ephemeral Connections to maintain order amid rising criminal activity. Smuggling rings and syndicates have taken root in the town, but the Lord Verdant remains optimistic that a peaceful approach will quell unrest without disrupting the reclamation efforts. Taarazi has been tasked with overseeing the bioterraforming effort in the Viridis alongside Lady-Governor Aeikuzo. Together, they are experimenting with the use of specially-grown Dionae to transform the most devastated areas of the Wasteland surrounding Lazhi. The bioterraforming effort is seen as the cornerstone of Aeikuzo’s vision for the Viridis, blending scientific innovation with the natural symbiosis of Dionae to heal Moghes. Early signs of success have already been observed, with Dionae gestalts rapidly cleansing radiation and regenerating plant life in targeted areas. In some parts of Lazhi, buildings once shrouded in desolation are now covered in vibrant green growth. As the Lords Verdant settle into their roles and the bioterraforming initiative begins in earnest, the people of the Viridis are cautiously optimistic. Though the road ahead remains challenging, the combination of Lady Aeikuzo’s leadership, the unique capabilities of the Dionae, and the Hegemon's support offers hope that Moghes may yet rise from the ashes of the Contact War. In Lazhi, the once-ruined City of Ten Thousand Blossoms is beginning to resemble its namesake. Green tendrils now wind their way through the shattered architecture, and the first hints of what the Viridis could become are already visible.

Hi there! I have a suggestion.

Beginning of the Pactolus Rocky Horror Picture Show Arc Article #1 Bioterraforming Commences in Eurydice Expansion Zone: League confirms operations have begun. The Hierophant Writer [62 - 79%] • posted 2466-12-08 from Eurydice, Pactolus. Here marks the eleventh transmission of The Sacred Echoes of a Titan's Bonded Progeny into the Voidic Rootsong Network, centring around the Pactolus Exploration League confirming that bioterraforming operations have begun on Pactolus, particularly surrounding the Eurydice Expansion Zone. “The Pactolus Exploration League has confirmed that Twisting of the Celestial Energy to Create Life has commenced structuring the bioterraforming apparatus, having arrived a few days ago.

Dionae Grown in the Lazhi Garden They Who Hath Become Lord Article #11 In a highly anticipated announcement, Lady-Governor Zhelmi Aeikuzo has revealed the successful growth of two new Dionae in her Garden of Lazhi, specifically cultivated to serve critical roles within the Viridis. The gestalts, grown from the genetic lineage of the famed Argus-form Diona, Taarazi, represent the next step in Aeikuzo’s ambitious plan to reclaim Moghes’ Wastelands. These Dionae, who have yet to be formally appointed to any roles, have been designed with carefully selected genetic material, tailored to serve specific functions in the Viridis. The process of cultivating these gestalts is part of Aeikuzo’s broader initiative to grow Dionae with specialized skills, ensuring that they will be perfectly suited to the tasks they will be assigned. One of the gestalts, tentatively named Steadfast Guardian of a World Reborn Against All Harm or Malfeasance, has been developed using genetic material from renowned Unathi warriors. The intention behind this cultivation is to create a gestalt that excels in martial discipline, leadership, and security. Aeikuzo’s plans for Steadfast Guardian will focus on ensuring the stability and protection of key settlements in the southern Wastelands, a region frequently targeted by raiders and subject to lawlessness. With its combat expertise, Steadfast Guardian is expected to be a formidable force, capable of upholding order and defending the Viridis against external threats. The second gestalt, Ephemeral Connections Formed Upon Silent Shores, has been crafted with a focus on diplomacy, negotiation, and administration. Infused with the genetic material of Unathi traders, diplomats, and scholars, Ephemeral Connections is expected to play a pivotal role in managing the economic and social aspects of the reclamation efforts. The northern Wasteland, where Ephemeral Connections is expected to be stationed, has shown great potential for growth due to mineral reserves and water trade routes. The gestalt’s diplomatic skills will be critical in fostering cooperation with local Wasteland communities and external investors, ensuring the economic prosperity of the Viridis. “The growth of these Dionae is a significant milestone in our reclamation efforts,” Lady-Governor Aeikuzo stated. “Their genetic material has been carefully selected to ensure they are not only capable but exceptional in their roles. They represent the future of the Viridis, and their work will extend far beyond individual settlements—they will serve the greater good of Moghes itself.” While their formal appointments are yet to be determined, the roles these gestalts will play within the Viridis are clear. Steadfast Guardian will act as a protector, ensuring safety and stability in the southern Wastelands, while Ephemeral Connections will focus on building relationships, fostering trade, and expanding the economic reach of the northern regions. This method of growing Dionae with specific purposes has sparked both excitement and debate. Advocates of Aeikuzo’s approach believe that cultivating gestalts with targeted skills will significantly improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the reclamation efforts. However, critics argue that this process, by genetically determining their roles before they are fully formed, could limit the autonomy and growth potential of the Dionae. Nevertheless, the Lady-Governor remains undeterred. “These gestalts will serve a purpose greater than themselves,” she remarked. “Their growth is a testament to the possibilities that lie ahead for Moghes. In time, their work will help heal the land and bring us closer to the future we strive to build.” As the Dionae continue their development within the Garden of Lazhi, all eyes are on the Lady-Governor’s next steps. The success of these purpose-bred gestalts could very well shape the future of the Viridis and determine the fate of the Wastelands.

Lady-Governor has Traveled to Lazhi They Who Hath Become Lord Article #10 Today, Lady-Governor Zhelmi Aeikuzo has formally taken residence in the somewhat reclaimed city of Lazhi for a week, marking the start of her direct stewardship over the restoration project. Her arrival signals the next phase in the creation of “the Garden,” her ambitious vision for a new capital of the Viridis. Lady-Governor Aeikuzo has decided to grow and raise Dionae specifically designed for certain roles within the Viridis. These Dionae will be trained and cultivated to perform a variety of tasks essential to the reclamation and the further development of Project Viridis. From cleaning residual radiation to aiding in agriculture, urban planning, and even public administration, each Dionae will be carefully nurtured to fulfil predetermined roles in the Lady-Governor’s grand design. Critics argue that Aeikuzo’s program borders on exploitation, with some concerned that raising Dionae with predefined duties undermines their autonomy. However, supporters point out that this method ensures efficiency, in that Dionae will be aware of how to contribute to the Viridis, as opposed to not being capable of performing to the Hegemon’s plan. Aeikuzo herself has remained unapologetic, stating in a recent address: “The Dionae are a part of this planet’s future, as much as we Unathi. They are both our partners and our stewards, guiding Moghes to heal. We must embrace that partnership in full.” Taraazi has joined the Lady-Governor on her journey to Lazhi and is reportedly said to be the “origin” gestalt from which the Dionae she intends to grow, and subsequently raise, shall be from. Sources close to the Hegemon have confirmed that Taraazi is going to have a substantial role within Project Viridis, besides being a donor for the Lady-Governor, with some even suggesting that the Hegemon is going to great lengths to rapidly accelerate the integration of Dionae so as to encourage reclamation of the Wasteland. The Garden, which will serve as the Lady-Governor’s Palace, and the nerve center for the reclamation effort, has become the focal point of Aeikuzo’s work. She will oversee the growing and development of Dionae from within the Garden’s halls, with gestalts being raised in a manner tailored to meet the needs of the Viridis. This unprecedented program will also give Aeikuzo greater control over the direction of Wasteland reclamation projects, as many of the Dionae she cultivates will be deployed across the Viridis in future endeavors. For now, the future of Lazhi and the Viridis rests in Aeikuzo’s hands. With the Dionae at her side, cultivated under her watchful eye, the transformation of the Viridis has only just begun.

Aeikuzo Appointed as Lady-Governor of Viridis They Who Hath Become Lord Article #9 Zhelmi Aeikuzo is expected to be officially appointed as the Lady-Governor of the Viridis – the term used for the upcoming reclamation regions within the Wasteland. The position, offered by Hegemon Not’zar himself, will place Aeikuzo at the helm of the reclamation of Lazhi and marks a decisive step in the efforts of the Hegemon to heal Moghes’ ravaged Wasteland – despite her controversial career. Though characterised by both brilliance and resistance to traditional norms, her later work and publications have garnered widespread acclaim, and she has built a formidable reputation across the Spur. Now, as Lady-Governor, Aeikuzo has announced the finer details of Project Viridis. With the growing Wasteland threatening the Izweski Hegemony, Aeikuzo has devised a plan to utilize the terraforming abilities of Dionae on a more widespread basis – akin to the work being done on Pactolus. As one of the foremost scholars on Dionae Biology within the Orion Spur, Aeikuzo seeks to push for the largest Dionae-driven reclamation effort to be successful, and pushing the species beyond what is currently known – and the integration of Dionae will allow for the region to be revitalized with greater efficiency and sustainability, than what is being seen with the established terraforming machinery across Moghes. Her previous critics, who long accused her of blasphemy for her views, now find themselves facing an undeniable reality: her knowledge could be crucial to the survival of the Unathi in a world that must be adapted for their survival. Though public opinion on her appointment remained divided, many within the Wasteland see her as a beacon of hope and the start of a long-awaiting healing process. It is clear from Not'zar's appointment with Aeikuzo that the Hegemony is moving in a new direction, one in which adaptability and radical change are not just valued but crucial. Aeikuzo, Lady-Governor of Lazhi, is expected to make her formal appointment in the coming weeks, after which she will begin her monumental task of reclaiming Lazhi, making it a beacon of renewed hope in the Wasteland. Aeikuzo will be under scrutiny as she navigates not only the physical transformation of the land but also the political landscape of the Hegemony as she assumes her new role.
