May Her light shine upon you and His death consume your enemies." Shinkiro smiled softly behind his helmet, "Now, is there anything else that needs to be done? When do I see these Ascended?"

Some areas will be restricted to those who are members of the church and share our beliefs but the other areas, I am free to show you." She gestured for Shinkiro to follow before she went walking down a hallway leading to one of the main halls. From there, she showed him areas such as the gardens containing Infested plants, the meal hall where everyone in the church ate together when they had their meals and some rooms which were meant as lounges or meeting places judging by the chairs and tables left over from the Orokin era.

Drakeardian Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 "That's right," Cardina said a bit too quickly. "We have learned so much in our pursuit of perfect balance, and we do guard that enlightenment. But we gladly share it with those who show dedication." She stepped next to Cross, feeling his interest in the secret knowledge she spoke of. "The Lotus does not tell you everything. You know that. Does it not concern you that when she tells you not to search, saying the information would not aid your cause, you find nothing but details of your past? What organization thrives on the ignorance of its members?" Cardina strode behind Corvo, sensing his palpable doubt. "How can matter and energy be all there is to reality? How could there not be Gods? We Tenno draw our power from outside this universe, from the Void. There is certainly more than mere fuel in that half-known hellspace." Finally she stood in front of Leo. "You are a leader, Leo. A wise follower listens to their leader, but so too does a wise follower question them. You, are both. It is your duty to both lead without doubt, and ask without reservation. Has it occurred to you that the Lotus doesn't seek real balance? Whoever wins this war, there will be chaos and death in abundance. True, death is inevitable; but do you think she holds any interest in balancing that with order and life?" Cardina's words were carefully selected, with an unusual persuasiveness behind them. ((You're fine, Sumika. I'm just characterizing Cardina)) All three of them looked at Eachother, but Corvo hmph'd once more. still not convinced. Leo replied "In truth we mostly work Freelance these days. Our missions either come from the Lotus, other Tenno, or items of interest that we acquire, your transmission for example. But personally, I think questioning the Lotus would be far too difficult. We already owe her a lot, Saving our lives and giving us information against our enemies. Alad V and Vay Hek to note. "But what would you think your goal would not become anything like the Lotus's?" asked Corvo, leaning down to look at the Nyx. "Easy Old man, Don't scare her" said Cross with a chuckle.

Mortos answered Corvo's question in Cardina's stead. "The Lotus does not desire true balance. She only desires that the Tenno act as her personal armed force and keep two mortal empires locked in a stalemate. She will cause nothing but a slow extinction for our noble race."

Should Cardina join the Divinities, a new Herald will be needed and that Herald will learn from them just as the rest of us do but with access to more knowledge. I believe the process will continue like that until all our brothers and sisters are unified as members of the church. Then everyone can work to ascend just as the Divinities had."
