Droll: Doesn't your order take an official stance on that?

@Etcetera

Monk Sy'lóxa: Most definitely so, we believe that the universe is at least an analogue of an organic being... we don't know for sure whether it is sentient or not, but that's why we are at odds with the government and the military more often than not. The order of Lysthiel has been the guidance for our beloved people's evolution throughout the eons, yet ever since we started expanding like crazy in space, it's as if our relationship has become more a love-hate one rather than just harmonious symbiosis.

Droll: I can't say the universe cares much whether we travel by carriage or wormhole.

@Etcetera

Sy'lóxa: I will oppose to that argument your honour! *I say while grinning awkwardly at my own response* There is no valid statement to either confirm or deny that the universe itself is a living being...

Droll: The name's Droll. I'm not much for tradition or formalities myself.

@Etcetera

Sy'lóxa: *Grits my teeth as we warp clearly not sitting well with me* It's not even the fact we are warping... *I breathe in deeply then breathe out* It is the screams of the artificiality of it all... it's as if the universe itself is pleading for this technology to not be used... by the mercies of Lysthiell *I make the order's religious symbol as i proceed to pray*

Droll: *Sighs*
Always another emergency.
*Sits in my chair and straps in*
Stranger of the order, you may want to find somewhere stable.

@Etcetera

Monk: *Proceeds to glue myself to the nearest wall with my powers* By the way, my name is Sy'lóxa. Apologies for missing manners in the beginning... 'tis the whole spiel with being a hermit and all...

Droll: Many thanks, Ulhey. Always glad to be of service.

*Folds my hands with a thoughtful expression*

@Etcetera

Monk: Whoa! *I brace myself as the ship shakes* This is what you folks use to travel through vast distances... it is... nausiating... *I begin defasing a bit as i barely keep my stability in check due to the energies of the warp drive*

Droll: Afraid to say the lost history predates even this old geezer.

@Etcetera

Monk: *Blinks surprised as i chuckle*

<Snipped quote by The Monitor 2>

Droll: Can't call myself a scientist. I leave that to the lab coats.
*Ceremonially turns my cup upside down and sets it on the counter*

@Etcetera

*Does the same as i proceed to pinch my nose bridge* Uuugh.... such a materialist culture this society... painful... *I whisper but audibly* Look boy, it doesn't take a genius to understand the fundamentals of the spirit and the ethereal... *I sigh* Just think of how our people knew everything was more than the tangible in lost history...

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by The Monitor 2>

Droll: Gravity, a fundamental force. What part does that play outside the realm of science?

@Etcetera

*I grab a piece of trash from the ground that would be no bigger than a morsel of paper as it begins to glow incandescently*

Well... it really does depend on what is the official definition of science Officer Heelton... *I say pensively*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by The Monitor 2>

Droll: And what makes you consider that old thing a religious artifact?

@Etcetera

*smirks* Why shouldn't it be one? Isn't it a thaumaturgical device manipulating one of the fundamental forces of nature of our universe? *adjusts my voice* Ahem... i mean technological not thaumaturgical...

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by The Monitor 2>

Droll: Then I ask again, what brings you here specifically, revered one?

@Etcetera

Well... you were touched by divinity, and got close to a forbidden ancient magical artifact... how does that sound for a reason? And yes, i refer to the black hole reactor that the government just likes to call it 'technology' *I make quote marks with my fingers ironically* so as to avoid mass panic.
