Due to a delay from Crypt, I will go on for another update with him inactive before wiping him.
The Pyroids still cannot connect with one another coherently enough for anything to happen.
A minuscule object sinks to the bottom of a long, deep rift valley, but there is life in the crushing depths. A few fish, almost humanoid in appearance, and immediately go into a tiny crevasse in the rock, leaving the empty craft to sink below into the darkness, the few remaining glints of it disappearing into the void as the last of the fish wriggle into the stony chamber.
The Trestan have established themselves in the depths!
Noticing a few bits of loose, inert Pyroid crystal, the Peretics begin to experiment with then, noticing their resistance to almost anything until one of them hits it in the correct spot, causing it to disintegrate. However, this has an adverse effect, as the atomic particles of any Pyroid crystals seek any large mass in proximity to latch on to, usually in order to self-repair, causing him to be partially coated in a mono-atomic layer of crystal! However, there is a good note: a scythe claw that was tested on the crystal is also coated at its tip, making it much sharper than before. Meanwhile, another Peretic has found the igniters used by the Synth Peretic, and has found them able to ignite the black fluid they now use on occasion to get around quickly. Realizing how much more efficient this is than simple compression, she asks for permission to try the igniter with even more things.
