THERE IS A FOURTH KIND OF PHILOSOPHY THAT USES NOTHING BUT DISBELIEF

SUNBIRD 1 FIRST OFFICER (O.C.)

NUMIDIUM IN RANGE!

PAGE 2

SPLASH: As Page 1, but pixelated and distorted into a mess of color. pvssyr ERUPTS from radios, tokboxes, mirror-makes, and the dreaming sense-net that covers the launch era’s perimeter.

ZIGGURAT-CLASS MOTHSHIP (O.C.)

Shunting Ghost Choir 9 is fail. Repeat: GC9 is vaped. Dracatastrophe in seventeen negaseconds--

MIRROR-MAKE (O.C.)

THALM[OR] MIRROR-MAKES ARE UP. BLESS US OUR BENDS.

SUNBIRD 2 SCRIBE (O.C.)

NVN Ziggurwraith Never Here In the First Place, its world-refusals have negated negation. Sensineers recommend that you do not sleeve. Repeat--

UNKNOWN TOKBOX (O.C.)

Refugees, remain calm/alm/alm--

SUNBIRD 1 FIRST OFFICER (O.C.)

NUMIDIUM OUT OF RANGE! WHAT IS IT--

ZIGGURAT-CLASS MOTHSHIP (O.C.)

Acknowledge receipt of message, SMIS Zero Method Zero, but my orders stand. NVN Ziggurwraith Never Here In the First Place is sleeving for Mundus Redundant.

SWARM-HUNTER SQUAD LEADER (O.C.)

Attack formation and dreamshields double-front. We’re going in, people. Watch your 10th-Era descendents show you how it’s--

MIRROR-MAKE (O.C.)

SWARM-HUNTERS NO LONGER REGISTER IN MEMORY. [censored].

PIC 2: As Pic 1, but a khajiit has tripped up in the scramble. Thalmor Soldier 2 moves to help him up.

INDORIL SOLDIER

The Armigers cannot join them. The Alma has rerouted them to the fundamengines.

KHAJIIT

Oof

THALMOR SOLDIER 2

Take my hand, kinsmer. Back on your feet. We’re almost go for launch and we’re leaving no one behind.

PIC 3: As Pics 1 and 2, but all Thalmor soldiers have vanished into pixel scratch. The khajiit refugee looks on in fear at the one that helped him.

KHAJIIT

W-what just..?

MIRROR-MAKE (O.C.)

NUMIDIUM BOMBARDMENT: ANCESTROSCYTHE: ALTMERI.

INDORIL SOLDIER

We’ve been breached!

PAGE 5

PIC 1: We’re looking upwards as the ceiling to the corridor smashes open, stone debris falling towards the refugees and the guards in a star of smoke.

SFX: DUUMM!

INDORIL SOLDIER

GET DOWN!

PIC 2: The smoke fades into open sky, jagged at the edges with broken stone. The gigantic form of Numidium looks down at all of us, death-by-erasure in its eyes.

PAGE 6

PIC 1: As Page 4, inside the Wonderweir corridor, figures dark in the rising dust and the shadow of Numidium above. Cracked stone debris is everywhere. Steam shoots dust-swirls into the scene from busted brass pipes.

INDORIL SOLDIER

Indoril S-selmeth koff to Wonderweir Actual: launch. We c-cannot--

PIC 2: As Pic 1, but sunlight bursts through. The Indoril Soldier is being helped up by a few refugees now. A booming voice comes from the other side of the breach above them.

NEREVARINE (O.C.)

BELAY THAT, ACTUAL. WAIT FOR EVERYONE. I’LL TAKE THE NUMIDIUM.

PIC 3: All present look to the source of the voice.

KHAJIIT

There are two of them now?!?

REFUGEE 1

The Sharmat? Akula--

REFUGEE 2

No, the Nerevarine!

INDORIL SOLDIER

HORTATOR.

Well. I, uh... I'm not sure what to say about this. Um...

That came out of left field Akavir. I'm still looking forward to it, but I'd be very, very interested to know how Cyrodiilic Mothships, Thalmori Sunbirds, and Indoril soldiers (that is, New Temple Ordinators?) ended up fighting Numidium at once. Who exactly is behind Numidium's return, then? I'm kind of surprised that the Thalmor aren't the ones controlling Numidium, to be honest; it rejects Mundus, just as they do. Perhaps that's the twist ending.

And the return of the Nerevarine. Somehow. Much better than, "He ran off to do something weird because no reason at all."

I'm really looking forward to seeing how all this fits together. I'm not sure my head will survive it, but I'll at least die happy.

Yeah there's a lot to digest. The return of the Hortator AND Akuhlakan? A walk brass rumble?

Ancestroscythe sounds like some sort of weapon that wipes a race out of time... Like a De-mat gun from Doctor Who.

The 10th Era (!) as well apparently. My guess is Numidum really fought everybody throughout all eras, and now the fight is back in regular time.

Hm. Refugees, and a "Mundus Redundant". Maybe a holdoff fight while the Mundanes simply outright flee from Numidium?

Personally, I don't like written material to screw around with what were player characters. "Nerevarine goes to Akavir" was cheap, but at least it put the N. out of the way. Oh well.

Well, that was something. I certainly didn't see the Nerevarine getting mixed up in it, that's for sure. And when you see an Indoril solider working with the Thalmor, you must know things are bad. Looking forward to it at any rate.

It may be heresy to ask that question... but where is this stuff from?

I know C0DA is coming. But is this actually a preview?

Interesting! Maybe when Tiber took control of the Numidium he told it to 'conquer Tamriel for me' and neglected to specify (intentionally or accidentally?) a particular Era.

Okay guys: someone call Demonbane, we're going full Super Robot Wars here.

MK posted it on the TES Lore page on Facebook.

Thank you very much.

Okay, now I can allow myself to implode.

Didn't know there was a Facebook thing. What's the actual title?

So... the Nerevarine shows up.. with Akulakhan?


I broke that [censored] man.

I'm not gonna lie - I'm kind of having a fan.boy-flipping out-squee-fest right now.

I looked on facebook and couldn't find it so I'm definitely out of the loop.

How many Hortators come back? Just the two or are there more on the way? Is it a duplicate or are these our Nerevarines?

Look under "Elder Scrolls Lore"

Nice. Thanks for posting this for those of us who aren't on Facebook.

That bit about "Mundus Redundant" reminds me a lot of the pieces of Professor Numinatus! that were posted here a while back, when the professor is asking other officials if the emperor has been moved to a different Tamriel for his safety. Speaking of that, wasn't MK working on Professor Numinatus! not too long ago? I'm curious about whether or not this C0DA project actually grew out of that work.

Or did MK release Professor Numinatus! in full and I completely missed it somehow? 'Cause that's possible, too.

Found it, thanks. He posted that in a group with only 189 members, that's genuinely awesome.
