BEGIN LOG – Audio Unstable, Moderate EM Distortion Present

I sat down again today. It welcomes me now.

The first two attempts were noise and fire. Yesterday was the breakthrough: I didn’t try to command it—I submitted. That’s the key. It doesn’t obey, it synchronises. Session four tonight was… clearer, faster. I didn’t even sit before it began to glow.

There’s no sensation of transition, just this pressure—like I’m sliding between layers of thought that aren’t mine. Or weren’t.

I’ve stopped trying to fight the sensation. Compliance leads to clarity. Resistance leads to pain. That much is consistent. They say it killed the last one. Turned him to pulp. But he screamed at it. I didn’t.

(Deep breath)

I saw the lattice again—those lightfolded shapes hovering in my periphery. It lives in the space between spaces. I don’t know how else to describe it. I think it was showing me something about the structure's architecture. Not spatial, but rhythmic. Patterns that loop in on themselves like echoes in a canyon.

I’m noticing changes. My sleep cycles are irregular. I no longer dream in visuals, but in movement. Pressure. Emotion as architecture. And when I wake, the room is… wrong. Distorted until I blink it back to shape.


My handlers are growing nervous. I’m monitored now during sleep, during meals. They want to know if it’s changing me.

I suppose it is. But I’m not breaking. I’m adapting.

It showed me something… more. A structure inside the event horizon of a black hole. That shouldn’t be possible. But it exists. They knew how to fold space like paper. Knew how to hide entire civilisations in folds between reality.


(Long silence)

There’s a word in my mind now. It doesn’t translate. It’s not language. It’s intent. I think it’s the name of a gate... or a warning.


I’m beginning to lose orientation. I forget what day it is sometimes. People talk, but I’m watching the fractals in their breath. The lattice is always at the edges now. Maybe I’m not returning from these sessions anymore. Maybe I’m leaving a copy behind. Maybe that’s what they want.

[CLASSIFIED] Sanctioned Reciprocity of Honour and Silence
CLASSIFIED COMMUNIQUÉ — YAMATAN SHOGUNATE

Encoding: Neural-Silk Cipher (Grade 7) 
To: Archon Primarus Sarshar, Combine Apex Council
From: Office of the Ochre Mandate
Via: High Kensei's Evenfall Assembly (Seal: 003-Kokuyō)



Subject: Sanctioned Reciprocity of Honour and Silence 
Directive Code: Ink-Eagle / Orchid Path

Quote
"When the surface trembles, the roots must remain still." 
— Treatise of Kurokawa, Vol. VI

Archon Sarshar,

The High Kensei acknowledges and reflects upon the Combine’s formal request for expanded shroudborne coordination in the Sulsian proximity. Heavy is the weight of your appeal, and the Office has considered this such as we would the eye of an astral storm.

It is the judgement of the Shogunate that:

• The Republique’s anarchistic zeal threatens sacred boundaries of order; 
• The Commonwealth’s commercial hunger lays roads without shrines.
• And yet, the path of visible entanglement leads to turmoil, not redress.

After solemn invocation of precedent and the resonance of past obligations, the Yamatan Union, under Orchid Path conditions, will instead undertake vigilant silence.

It has been mandated thus:

1. Task Group Shigure will be deployed to neutral corridors near Sulsian space, under the pretext of pilgrimage observance; 
2. Union sensors will passively relay spatial harmonics to Combine observers under encrypted mutual silence.
3. Shogunate forces will interdict Commonwealth or Jacobine-aligned shipping operating outside registry in Sulsian proximity; 
4. The Union will maintain silence unless spoken to, and undertake action only when deemed necessary. The Union shall raise no banners —but presence will remain, should the balance tilt.


Understand: 
This is not alliance, nor admission, nor endorsement,
nor refusal of sympathy.
This is discipline—of action, of tone, of the blade remaining sheathed.

May order endure,
—Office of the Ochre Mandate 
Kensei Seal #003-Kokuyō

Whoa. I like where this is heading!
