- You were right. The Path of Coalescence is sapping its followers’ life force, and not by accident.

- Scriptures from an ancient race – the Soulweavers. They rose to power by harvesting neurogenic energy from conscious beings.

- Every so often, the Elders hold Ascension events, where they lead us in prayer, and we invite the cosmic consciousness to consume us and make us its own. Bring us home.

- Dialogue
- We have no real evidence yet. The scriptures alone prove nothing, only that the Path has the information necessary to carry out this act. There is no proof that they actually have.

- Character
- Apos Zeta
- Dialogue
- They won’t. We’ll make sure of it. But first, we need hard evidence. If we can get an idea of the Elder’s plans, then we can strategize around them.

- What if we followed them? Perhaps they will show their hand, or we could intercept an incriminating communication.

- Their home is in Erendari. Perhaps we can catch them there.

- Character
- Apos Zeta
- Dialogue
- Actually, its leaders are the opposite of religious, if you ask me. The Path is a front to gather the life forces of their followers for their own selfish gain.

- The Elders of the Path of Coalescence plan to use the neurogenic energy created by a mass collective of praying devouts to Ascend to the Q Continuum.

- They just sent a mass transmission to all members of the Path. They have moved up the Ascension. We’re out of time.

- Character
- Apos Zeta

- We’re in the clear. The mercenaries are retreating. Looks like they won’t be getting their Latinum after all… Maybe it pays sometimes to ask the difficult questions.

- Indeed, though they will likely already have reported their failure to the Elders. We must assume they are aware of our survival.

- I was ready to dive right into the Path of Coalescence. I was so taken with what it represented that I was blind to the corruption at its heart.
