The newly-arrived god takes several timeless moments to absorb his new co-domain. It's impossible to read his expressionless face, but he does spend more time contemplating Argent than most of the rest of the small universe, often glancing briefly at Diatraxa.
"Abandoning your creations seems... needlessly cruel. But I am accustomed to taking on the castoff of other gods."
ElemenSssWwk cast his net of lights around the grim planet and began weaving it into a complex web of criss-crossing lines; from there and with great speed, he spread it to every other cluster of matter that presently existed, establishing an intangible network of divine energy and interconnectedness. Though invisible and undetectable to mortals, it would absorb the life energy of any creature as it died and add whatever could be called its consciousness to a gestalt, deistic awareness. It was simple, as afterlives went, but it was also more pleasant than many. [-5 acts to create a universe-wide afterlife]
"I feel that being cursed with such a strange and awkward form should be counterbalanced by something. And if the body does not suit, then perhaps the mind will."
A number of glimmers broke off from the worm's cloud and sleeted towards Argent, seeking out the Spinning Anns and insinuating themselves into their brains and minds. They were changed at a biological and social level, granted much greater capability to think and understand, as well as the basics of communication and the empathy to begin creating societies. [-3 acts to add high levels of sapience to Spinning Anns]
He seems ready to withdraw when something occurs to him. "With consciousness, why shouldn't there come cognizance?"
The motes of light that still have yet to fade from the Anns flash once more before fading out, in one instant granting knowledge of the cosmos and cosmology, of creation and their creators. Every Spinning Ann is given the same insight at the same time, incontrovertibly touching them all with knowledge and certainty of the divine. [-2 acts for a vision to the entire SA species containing the basics of the history and nature of their universe and gods]
