| Give Diyas al-Yat
(Zaikhal) an Obsidian Shard for this text.
This message shard bears instructions from
the Directive. Deviation from our will shall result in swift
extermination. The Inquisitors are empowered to enforce the Directive.
We recognize that prolonged exposure to
this realm, outside of the Singularity, away from the Quiddity, has
severed your connection and your ability to follow the Directive. We shall
accept this and grant leniency, because we value our dispersed agents,
unreliable as they may be, who have established themselves in the other
realm. We therefore issue this edict in the form that our vessels in the
realm are most readily able to understand.
Here are the dictates of the Quiddity, the
Directive that all agents in the other realm must follow.
Humans have been recognized as a threat to
the unity of the Quiddity. They are too chaotic and too strong-willed to
be allowed to exist. They are unfit for association or fraternization.
They are to be exterminated on sight.
Those who spend time in the company of
humans, even for research purposes, will be destroyed. The only exceptions
to this rule are the agents known as "Claude" and
"Leopold."
All experimentation upon humans is to cease
immediately. That way lies only taint and dangerous possibilities.
Those who are deemed irretrievably
corrupted by human thought-chaos will be destroyed, never again to be
assimilated into the Quiddity.
Continue to maintain contact with the
purple desert-walkers, whom we have deemed chaotic, but not a threat to
our unity. There are those among you who have been empowered to negotiate
with them on our behalf.
Continue to experiment up on the lesser
races of the realm, including the squealing bipeds and the great red apes.
Continue to find new servitors to carry out our will.
All work on the "New Singularity"
will cease immediately. This brand of deviation, above all, will not be
tolerated. There is only one Singularity and there will only ever be one
Singularity, one seat of the Quiddity, one source of the Directive.
First among equals
