Kian then tells Ferdows the truth: The Magicals are not just being relocated, they are send to prison camps where they are forced to work until they die, something which Ferdows is shocked and appalled to learn. This is the reason, he explains, why the Azadi are relocating the Magical races from Marcuria their presence are so associated with magic that it interferes with the machine. Kian asks if this energy is the same as magic, but Ferdows explains that isn't the case in fact the machine is very much the opposite of magic, and magic is inherently chaotic and tends to disturb it and making its calculations imprecise. Kian asks him why the machine just couldn't have been build in Sadir and Ferdows explains that its because the underground in Marcuria is special and contains a lot of meta energies which is necessary for the machine's calculations to be correct. Kian asks Ferdows what the end goal with all of this is, but Ferdows answers that he honestly doesn't know, as he is just a middle man in all of this he is hired to run the machine and not ask questions, though he assumes that the machine will finally enable the Azadi to fully harness the power of science, and allow them to make the world "more orderly" and rule the world as an enlightened government of scientists, who will use their knowledge to put an end to poverty and warfare. The Prophet has explained that dreams, and the ideas they contain, are the building blocks of reality and the machine will allow the Azadi to control them. The scrawny Ferdows quickly decides that he is neither interested in nor fit to putting up any kind of a fight, and he agrees to tell Kian everything he knows about the origin and purpose of the pipes.įerdows explains that it was the Prophet who gave the Azadi the schematics and means to construct the network, which is essentially a giant computational machine which records and influences people's dreams, and sends data with the results to hub of the network which is the Tower. Kian, however, replies that he is not a civilian and demands answers about the machine from Ferdows under the threat of violence. Ferdows is confused by Kian's sudden appearance, noticing that a civilian isn't supposed to be in the control room. In the hub building, he meets the chief engineer Ferdows. After distracting the guards by sabotaging a nearby machine by throwing a rat into it, Kian is able to enter the building. Kian, in turn, asks her where she has been, to which she cryptically answers "far away." After finding out that the pipes are used to transport strange mental orbs, and picking one up, Kian decides to trace the pipes to a hub building. He also has a short run-in with Anna, who confronts him on his handling of the Azardi officer and his reaction to her attempt to kiss him.
Kian uses Evensong to put the engineer to sleep, then uses his tools to open the access vaults in the pipe network.
Kian stumbles on strange mechanical devices far above his Arcadian mindset Kian: The pipe network ĭuring a surveillance mission for the rebels, Kian, along with Likho and Enu, is summoned by Ulvic who explains to them that an Azadi engineer has been frequenting the The Rooster and Kitten lately, and if they could find a way to covertly steal his tools, they might have a chance to learn more about the Azadi machinery.
