=== Interlude: Civil War (Usurpers)=== "Yes, they are here." All assembled in the room expected this news. Yet it sends a ripple of alteration through the room as though you had announced a sneak attack on the home world. You know many of them were convinced the Caretakers had been destroyed during the space battle. Now it's clear this is not the case. "This changes nothing!" Smoothly you alter the entire hum of conversation, to lend emphasis to your meaning. "The plan goes forward as we agreed. The Caretakers must die, and we must continue our quest to contact the Homeworld, or to reach the Flowering with ourselves in power over Manifold Six. Are we agreed?" One on the council looks uncomfortable, his eyes blinking rapidly. He stands and formally alters your words, requesting permission to speak. You shake your neck at him, and he proceeds. "You know me," he alters. "I am no coward, yet I counsel one last attempt to reason with the Caretakers and their leader H'minee. We are all Progenitor together here, trapped on Manifold Six until such time as we can re-implement our lost technologies. Until then, should we not attempt to live together under one skin?" Others alter his words in subtle ways, expressing doubt or tolerance for this idea. You step in quickly. "No, my friends!" you alter roughly. "Remember with whom we are dealing. H'minee and her followers have seen the incredible power of the Manifolds, and yet they reject them. They have read the ancient books, and the plans our ancestors made for the Manifold Experiments. Yet they reject those as well. They live in fear--and a Progenitor who lives in fear is one that may as well be dead. Our race has declined since the time of the ancestors, and it is because of the timidity and fear of the Caretaker faction. We must move forward boldly, and fulfill the destiny spelled out for us so many thousands of orbits ago. Do you agree?" Your words are altered, one by one, by each member of the council. They all assent.
