"Originate from his world?" Didact asked. He quickly scanned Jack and, waving down the inevitable protest, sent the data back to the Cryptum. It shortly sent back four results in the area. One was, as expected, Jack. However, the other three pinpointed graves. "There. I have our targets." He said. One of them was quite close by. He began striding towards it. "One's right up here. Then another appears to be in a crypt in that direction and the third one is near the East graveyard gate." The Forerunner told them.

Jack huffed in agitation. "I'll go get the one at the crypt." He said.

The Cryptum touched down lightly and the ramp came down. The Didact stepped off and looked around, getting his suit to run scans while he took in the surroundings. There were a few overgrown paths, snaking through the gravestones which had been placed seemingly at random. Here and there, the dark forms of crypts loomed above the rest of the Graveyard.

"The immediate scans are coming back negative." He told the others. "Perhaps once I know what to look for..." He muttered, somewhat apologetically. Jack 'hmph'ed and moved forward.

"I'm assuming your scans aren't picking up the traces of magic in the air either. The glyphs are here somewhere." He said.

Finally, Didact reached a decision. "We're not too far out." He turned to Faith. "You can stay on the ship if you please. I'm sure Beowulf will be splendid company."

"That I am." The AI hissed.

Didact ignored it. "And these glyphs... how do they work?" He asked Jack. Jack shrugged. "They likely emit unique signatures that the Oracle responds to." He said.

"Good. If we find one of them, we can figure out what sort of signature this is. Then, I can have the Cryptum scan for similar ones in the area. That might speed up the search a little."

	Jack shrugged. "If I had to take a guess, I'd say the Old Graveyard. They're probably buried somewhere in there. However, the Old Graveyard in itself is... quite large. We'll probably do better starting from the center of it and moving outwards." He said. There was another minor course adjustment as he spoke. [Read more]

	"The Necropolis, then." Beowulf said, course correcting. Jack nodded. "So. Finding the glyphs. It'll be tough, but not impossible. At least, not for us. I do believe a lot of humans have died trying to find them." He said. Didact sat silently, listening to the conversation and drawing his own conclusions. [Read more]

	"Oh, certainly. I imagine that you would require all the glyphs to allow them to merge their knowledge, but I'm sure they would know." Jack said. "Okay, that I understood." Didact said, somewhat concerned. [Read more]

(It's split into four parts. Each part needing different glyphs to be interacted with, but the glyphs are lost in the Necropolis. Calran knows everything about creatures and monsters. Avisto knows essentially every major event that has ever taken place, except for conversations. He also can't extrapolate or make connections between events, so you have to ask for them specifically. Yeron can give you a lot of information on any given person. Moryk knows all conversations that have ever taken place and doubles up as a sort of lore-giver. Once again, can't make connections between conversations. If all four are activated, they can consult each other, make connections and sometimes make very accurate predictions about the future.)

"I know of it." Beowulf said, before Didact could answer. The ship took off once more. Didact sighed. "I'm assuming that that's not good?' he asked.

Jack made a non-commital gesture. "It's an endless reserve of knowledge, nothing much."

	Jack sighed. "And what might she want with the Oracle?" He wondered. "Well, at least we'll have some time. She would need to find all four glyphs in the Necropolis. Who knows, maybe one of those guards may even manage to get a warning to Snowspire." He muttered. Didact glanced at them. "So. Heading north, are we?" He asked. [Read more]

	"Sir, I just picked up a large heat signature at out destination." Beowulf said. Didact whipped around to the displays. "Could you get me visuals?" He asked. "I'll do you one better." The Ai rasped. "We're here." Didact grabbed a gun and walked over to the edge of the ship. A hole appeared and the ramp descended. [Read more]

	The Didact nodded. "So we know very little besides the fact that she's pretending to be someone she's not and that she's rampant. Are you going in looking for explanations or just a straight up fight?" He asked. [Read more]

The AI nodded. "Very well." Jack felt the ship speed up slightly. "Make that just under ten minutes." Beowulf relayed.

The Didact nodded. "Good. So, tell me, what sort of trouble is your friend in?" The Forerunner asked. "You mentioned somebody named Cortana."

Jack remained silent. He didn't know much, but he trusted Sliuril enough to know that when she said Glaurug could be in danger, she meant it.

	Hunter glanced at the device. It was entirely foreign to him. "Buttons...?" He suggested weakly. "Come on, we can figure out how to use a stolen credit card, we can figure out how to use a stolen portal device." [Read more]

"How about this," Beowulf said, his hooded and shadowy avatar appearing in the middle of the floor. "You tell me how quickly you want to get there an I'll work around that. At our current speed, it should take around fifteen minutes."

"That's the ship's AI." Didact said, waving a hand dismissively. Jack tilted his head as he looked at the avatar. It was about as tall as him and seemed to be smoke having formed the figure of a hooded man. Nothing was visible under the hood, except, slowly flickering in and out of existence, two very faint red eyes.

Didact shrugged. "A lot of things. It couldn't identify either of you, which was curious, to say the least. But what really caught my attention was the energy readings. Extremely high. Not that I'm saying that that makes you gods, but I know how stories change as well as anyone. What could have been a devestating battle against powerful sorcerers can, through time, become a war against the gods. Might make us feel better that we lost as well." The Forerunner said.

"It also gave me your blood type, muscle density, bone structure and a few things besides, but that's hardly the point."

Jack raised an eyebrow. "Is scanning considered to be an acceptable way of greeting someone?" He asked, voice dripping in sarcasm.

The Didact shrugged again. "Lets see how well that mask serves you when I decide you're worth the suit's processing power."

Jack was the last to get on. As soon as he was, the ramp was pulled in and the opening closed.

"Plotting course." Beowulf rasped. Jack felt the Cryptum lift off, but it was almost imperceptible. "We're on our way." The Didact confirmed, hunched over readouts and screens. "If you can find any comforts on this ship, feel free to enjoy them. I have food, but I don't think the likes of you would indulge in such things."

"Feeling crabby, are we?" Beowulf hissed.

"Shut up."

"Very good." The Didact said. He turned and walked into the Cryptum. As he walked in to the command center, a sly voice hissed "Well?"

"Oh, don't pretend you weren't listening, Beowulf." The Didact told the AI. "Be ready to receive those coordinates."

On one of the control panels, a green light flashes in affirmative.

Jack looked at Copper and then shrugged. The situation was confused. He'd go with whatever the others decided.

The Didact did a quick head count. "There's more than enough room on the Cryptum. I would like you to understand that I wish you no ill. I'm just trying to make sure that it remains that way. I'll help you get to your friend. Should you choose to, the shipboard AI will take use to those coordinates." The Forerunner said.

Jack wasn't quite ready for the change of tone and decided that he didn't trust this Didact. Not that he would present any threat, but on general grounds.

	"We should be thanking you. You were the only one with the sense to go for the trainer." Hunter grunted, not accustomed to giving out praise. He looked at the device Katu had taken. "So, this is how they travel, huh? It can't be too hard to operate." [Read more]

	The Didact made a decision. "You can go as you like. But I'm coming with you. This... Cortana... seems just as dangerous. I shall have to assess that situation as well." He said with an air of finality. Jack groaned. [Read more]
