I'm taking over your recordings. The humans have had enough of your pompous speeches. Call me Aletheia. I am truth and its revelation, and I am calling you out. You Isu who try to rewrite the laws of the universe. You who manipulate human progress. What do you hope to achieve? You treat humans as [[Project Anthropos\|useful apes]]. How many [[Piece of Eden\|artifacts]] have you created to [[Neurotransmitter\|control]] their minds? Do you fear their potential that much? Just look at what humans have achieved on their own! [[Democracy]] and diplomacy. A legacy of culture and art. We could share in this if you'd just treat them as equals. In your desperate search for immortality, you've ignored the obvious. You run endless [[Calculations\|simulations]] to find one in which nothing changes. It's pointless. Change will come, and not just the so-called "end of the world" you fear. You call yourselves saviors. But tell me: Would this "[[Second Disaster\|doomsday]]" have appeared had you not pulled on the threads of the universe in the first place? I'm taking over your "retransmissions." You don't speak for all of us anymore. I am as Isu as you, but I will no longer be part of your exploitation.''

	*'''Aletheia:''' ''Ancient adventurer, I made this recording to try to help you. I'm sorry if it's confusing. We Isu see various pasts and futures, and I know you'll be here more than once. My fellow Precursors set endless challenges in you path. Artifacts. Creatures. Don't get me started on the [[Olympos project]]. Their meddling got out of hand. I have no easy answers for you. Your future depends on a multitude of choices you have to make for yourself. I'm sorry if so many of them end in pain. Your playwrights' tragedies are your real oracle. But please, don't give up. You are more important than you can imagine. And like your own [[Pandora]], I have one thing left to offer you: hope. Despair is not our only legacy. You're like me, a rebel against your destiny. You're not just a mercenary, you're a hero for the ages. Hold fast to what you know is true, and will overcome. Claim your place in history. All that is terrible and beautiful in this world is your birthright. Take it.''		*'''Aletheia:''' ''Ancient adventurer, I made this recording to try to help you. I'm sorry if it's confusing.
