 We act as humanity's shadow. Ever present should they approach the forbidden light. We grow and respond to their advances. We are not evil. We are necessary. Pain is necessary for life. It is good. We are good, but they need us. To remove pain is to become numb. You must be made to understand what you have done for us and that it is justified. These tribes of your kin reached for the forbidden and they had to be stopped. You would not have aided us if you were not subconsciously of the same mind in order to guide your reeling psyche. Let us ask you a few questions as you remember your unwitting services to our cause. Please try to understand. Remember what they told you during the orientation at the Foundation Ethics Committee. You've consoled yourself by thinking that all the torture and murder is for the greater good. Do you trust the Foundation to make the correct decisions? They delve deeper and are moving ever closer towards controlling the forbidden. Do you believe they are adequate? Study of their anomalies brings them ever closer to an unacceptable outcome. Did you have a sense of security? They needed to be infiltrated and disrupted whenever possible. You did well. Remember the Anderson Robotics advertisement. Similar to the Peregrine series, Sakers are designed to be equipped with an external skin resembling human flesh allowing them to pass as humans. Do you trust Anderson Robotics products? They spread dangerous materials amongst humanity. Did you believe they were responsible? The allocation of the forbidden to humanity leads to a dangerous familiarity. Did you have a better life than you would without them? Sabotage was advised whenever possible. You did well. Remember Colonel Neil Hornby's words on the Chaos Insurgency. The same things as the Foundation, only for profit. Do you trust that the Chaos Insurgency has not hurt you? They have access to the forbidden and as much ambition as the Foundation. Do you believe they are acceptable? Although an excellent conduit for entropy, it is still a threat. It could replace the Foundation. Did you have no qualms about their work? Their information needs to be destroyed and their locations revealed to the Foundation in order to manage their size. You did well. Remember the notes on the Church of the Broken God. Worships, mechanization and believes flesh and life to be inherently evil are broken. Do you trust technology like the Church of the Broken God? The Church seeks to utilize the forbidden to resurrect that which has already passed. Do you believe in your own technical prowess? The ambition of these individuals to prefer that which they touch is too great a threat to ignore. Did you not fear being left behind? All methods of dealing with this group were permitted and you did well. Remember the notes on the Sarkic Colts. Disease is viewed with reverence and Sarkic Shrines have been discovered with offerings of swollen lip nodes and tumorous growths. Do you trust you know what is real? Another group seeking to touch that which was placed outside their reach. Do you believe they could not touch you? The hubris of humanity must never be taken lightly nor its perseverance to continue forward. Did you have no fear on what could happen? These groups were exposed to Foundation disruption both. You did well. Remember that Wilson's wildlife said the regulation of the anomalous is a strain on all those involved in all ways involved. Funds, personnel, or very humanity is taxed. Do you trust their motives? They are an ally of the Foundation and all that implies. Did you believe they were competent aiding the Foundation that claimed to be moral? Did you have no fear of what they are not telling you? Their research was disrupted by leaking critical information to enemies of the Foundation. You did well. Now you are nearly aware of us consciously. You have heard of our desire to keep humanity from the anomalous forbidden. Reminded of your previous involvement with our plans. Made aware of our enemies who would pursue this aberrant future. Should you choose to do this next act, you will awaken with memory of these revelations. Answer this final question. Will you choose to be linked with one of the elders? It is your choice to either do so and remember this initiation. Or to choose to forget this experience and return once more to the blind masses. This is your choice. Your chance to join the attendance of Requital is now. Named an anti-hero, our eyes and ears, eye born of doubt and ignorance. Linked to others by doubt, I utilize ignorance. I offer knowledge to satiate curiosity and safety. I value both philosophy and fear. I abhor failure. I am the first elder. Dehe. Although I abhor failure, I am forgiving and will put much thought on it. However, you would be wise to heed this warning. I will only forgive so much. I remember a time when indecision filled my mind and the world was foreign and strange. Follow me and I will show you the truth that you were meant to know. Then we may spread this knowledge as is our responsibility. You will be an eye and an ear for us, processing our intelligence as it is gathered, advising us in our plans. Named the crippled fool, our left hand eye conceived of sadism and impudence. Linked to the others by sadism, I utilize impudence. I offered a monkey's paw in love. I value deception and secrets. I abhor apathy. I am the second elder, Z. Although I abhor apathy, I understand that weakness and powerlessness can quash passions and prevent the emotional responses that are most natural and necessary. However, that which one lacks is not an excuse for letting one's soul fade away. I remember when humanity was unaware of anything that could stand in its way and the weak were left behind. Follow me and I will give you power at a cost. You shall have the strength you were meant to wield and the burden you were meant to bear. You elect as a willing and conscious agent of the attendance, a conductor of our sleeper agents and a partner in our machinations. Named the zealot, our right hand eye formed of entropy and impatience. Linked to others by impatience, I utilize entropy. I offer time and order to change chaos. I value nostalgia and respect, and I abhor weakness. I am the third elder, Z. Although I abhor weakness, I remember when I too was weak. The past has much to teach and much value in it. It holds our origin, a point of pure, unquestionable truth. However, change is necessary to preserve the order of things. That order made our creation possible. I remember a smaller world bristling with energy and newfound purpose. Follow me and I will give you purpose. You shall have meaning and no longer have to question your life. You will serve the attendance as an extension of my will and a soldier of our cause, offering me both your instincts and skills. You shall directly involve yourself in our most pressing operations. Your choice is set.
