Greetings from the Council. Four Agents come forward — Coius, who represents higher intelligence; his sister Themis, who represents balance and helps to rectify the scales of justice; their sister Ananke, who represents inevitability; and their sister Tethys, the Great Nurse. They are here to express their views, answer your questions, and address your concerns about the future.

From Coius: Your world is in turmoil. Chaos was generated by decisions made by those in power and also those with a conviction filled by religious beliefs or past ideas. You are now viewing your world through this lens, and the sentiments are disparate among you. We may appear not to be as fluent today because we are receiving a continuous maelstrom of emotions from your world. We can see that there is no clarity from those who hold the power and from those in power.
