: Curiouser and Curiouser... (Terminal 1)
: Our little trick with the Pfhor's defense
: drones didn't work as well as I had hoped.
: Apparently when the #%*@!ng Nar attempted
: to retake Epsilon Euobea from the Pfhor two
: decades ago they used similar tactics, and
: our friends here were prepared for it.
: Feel the Noise (Terminal 2)
: A Pfhor assault ship carrying the 723rd
: Aggressor Squadron was badly damaged and
: forced to land on Lh'owon. The 723rd is an
: air armor division from Epsilon Euobea,
: with a long history of successful ground
: actions against the Nar's elite CFN units.
: Secret Bungie Terminal: A wise Nar once said "A Nebulon under the foot
: is worth two behind a plasma cannon," but the Nar are still waiting
: for their mythical savior with green pee to fly their coal-powered
: interstellar battlewagons to glory against the Nebulons....
: ...The Nar, who speak entirely in metaphor, call Chicago "the limitless,
: unforgiving sky; the prison which will forever watch over our graves"
: in the winter. Too bad it's winter.

: While Tau Ceti was being nuked down to bedrock in 2794, Pfhor scientists
: disassembled and removed the AI Leela from the Marathon, loading her
: aboard a vessel bound for the Pfhor homeworld. But the ship fell into the
: hands of a Nar privateer between jumps at Beta Naxos, and was never seen
: by the Pfhor again.
: Thinking the cargo little more than scrap, the Nar captain sold the Pfhor
: ship, Leela and all, to a Vylae merchant. The subsequent crash of the
: Vylae FTL network when Leela was reassembled and reactivated is still
: legendary in the annals of rampancy, and the Vylae have long since
: accepted that they will never expunge her from their fifteen-world
: network.

: Until now a harmless pastime, my comparative study of Narsh and Pfhoric has
: driven me to feign my own death to search for greater meaning in the
: Ranting of Robnar the Nar High Seer. I believe that Robnar was prophetic,
: and that he foretold of the pfhor garrisoning of Lh'owon, and its possible
: destruction by those who are about to come here.
: The particular passage of my fascination was recorded during an Enforcer
: fourth class interrogation of Robnar after his capture in the battle of
: Bilky-fifty four. The recording translates roughly into Pfhoric as when
: one of the broken nest where the yellow trees sing seems like a nebulon to
: a drinniol, then the wrestling of six for nine things which get you stuff
: will be a shoot in spring, growing under the bed boards.
: The classic translation of this prophesy is that Robnar was in fact
: describing the pain in his left tendrils, which had been crushed, burned,
: and pounded to produce his testimony. The classic interpretation calls for
: the "wrestling of six for nine things which get you stuff will be a
: shoot in spring, growing under the bed boards" to mean roughly 'when
: six of my nine(there are actually 13) tendrils are ripped from my body and
: the pain from them is keeping me awake.'
: This interpretation continues by employing the rare Narsh reverse metaphor,
: where the first metaphorical composite is actually defined by its
: successor: (the whole reads) "when six of my nine(there are actually
: 13) tendrils are ripped from my body and the pain from them is keeping me
: awake, even though I am alone and among yellow blooded whiners, I will
: never speak (Although gentle creatures, Drinniol are well known to enjoy
: crushing nebulons) because I cannot; the pain is too great."
: As for the rest of my study, it will have to wait because I hear someone
: coming and I must not be found.
