Firmament

I could switch to a pure Technical or Research program, since I'm still pretty good with Astral Theory. There's plenty of Wayfarers who do Research too, but I'd rather be... I mean... I like the idea of being able to keep people safe, you know? I don't want to be stuck taking samples in the Wilds or something, while other people have to keep me safe.

More than a single way to help. Well done research may not save lives on the instant but can be key to save millions.

But could you guys please work on being more... coherent again?

..
... Still damaged in our own ways, different ways each, some more than others. ...Some minds ... better left broken
Still we mostly seem more coherent as a whole. Theory: as the collective grow healtier each part has more energy to devellop.

Interesting, tho. You only seem to hear, react to part of what each of us, no matter of coherence, say. Only afe wkey sentences. Suspect filter of your own mind to avoid overwhelming your thoughts.

First of all... are you the memory-ghost of a Dragon or something? Because this sounds like some Dragon-tier shit right here. Secondly, if you really think there's a problem and you can fix it... well, maybe? I mean... I'll think about it.

... Dragons. So much power, so much knowlege.. all so easily wasted on ego and obsession with baubles. Much more interesting source of both knowlege and power than overgrown lizzards, if you take the risks, find where to look. Beyond...

Anyway. Summed up benefit and risks of 'contract' for yourself pretty well (do not think a contract even needed, for now we are yet in state symbiosis weither we like it or not). Yes dangerous, and uncertain but repairing soul is something we've already done, once. We can probaly find how, again. I will also say this, remember how you saw though your/our eyes when we were connected ? Saw your perisprite, Saw your mana gate, even saw hints of you Pneuma. All the parts seemingly there, make it easier to patch up.

Eat and drink for now. You need sustenance, the most broken of us will have to adapt.
