The Deep Ether Campaign/Session 23

The party finally met Selene Veer and sat down to talk with her. The party shared a lengthy discussion with Veer about reality, philosophy and the laws of the cosmos. In it, Veer revealed her plan: to accelerate the decay of the universe and a return to the primordial space outside reality, thereby preempting eons of suffering. In her view, life always leads to suffering and death, a plot by Zulkir to guarantee its own existance. To achieve her goal, she would learn how to insinuate the Unnamed into reality.
After much debate about the nature of knowledge and information, entropy and system complexity and the impossibility of changing the fundamental laws of the cosmos from within it, the party and Veer reached a critical decision point. Veer offered the party a (partial) cure for the Mind Virus and a way off-world, if they would then help to spread the modified Mind Virus, to convert as many as possible to the pursuit of knowledge about the fundamental nature of the universe, and to then be harnessed in Veer's quest to unmake reality.
Veer left the party with some time to think.
