Shadowheart

It is... crude. The commune was not like this, and I never forced anyone to join us. They had to come of their own volition.

[He doesn't fully understand how close he was to the force, though. Like a hair's breadth away!!!]

What kind of... artefact was it? This sounds more like the commune, in a way. Like the Hexcore. Everyone is connected - to me, the conduit of the Hexcore. We aren't connected to anything else on the outside, but we haven't run into any other collectives.
