The Sanctuary
Once upon a time, a floating energy wandered the emptiness of the void. Vuun'Chaa came to materialize on a ritual known as The Agatoshi Spawning in the depths of the Es'Penoid Rapids. Since the beginning, he found himself fascinated by the vast home planet, a curious being that, with time, grows to a Vortigaunt of high dedication and aspirations. Upon reaching age, he completed the trial which weavers walk. Transcendence provided this vessel a better understanding of individualism inside the hive of collectivism. It was not long before he began collaborations with the Alva'Sari Collective, safeguarding his future as a protector of the 'Slabs of Knowing' and librarian of the vorti-kind. It was a promising epoch of life, where growth in the ranks of this clan took place.
Xen / Borderworld
Times of deep uncertainty were upon the Vortigaunts, now enslaved and dominated by another form of life. Initially, a process of selection took place. With duty appointments in this plane, Vuun'Chaa was forced to labor as guardian of the territories. Many foes and outsiders who stumbled upon Xen were terminated brutally by Vuun'Chaa. With time, he was no longer that principled scholar who once sought prosperity and tranquility. The king-pins have spoken, and it is thus that this Vortigaunt transformed into what he never thought to become. In a dark era, his voyages within Xen brought him more knowledge and brutality. He commenced to communicate with the beings of the border-world, learning the linguistics of Xendarian and obtaining a new designation. Alla'Bii, warrior embodied in vortal flesh. Through time, he fell to the grand design of the new lord. It was pointless to struggle in resistance; there was no such choice. The control over the vortikind in the Xen's plane of existence was absolute; the creatures in the domain of the Nihilanth were collared and commanded. With the extra-terrestrial technology of the xenian crystals and the prowess of this ruler, no will could stand in its way.
Earth
After the Nihilanth's control was overthrown, Alla'Bii was captured by the Combine. At first, he was filled with bitterness and resentment towards the regime, but he eventually acclimated to his circumstances. Slavery was not foreign to him, as he had always been a survivor like the rest of his kin. He was relocated to City Seven, a Middle-Eastern city once known as Jerusalem. There, he immersed himself in the Orthodox wings of vortality, seeking spiritual guidance for his next steps. Due to his towering height, the residents began to call him 'Babel,' a reference to the mighty tower of Babylonia. Alla'Bii realized that the only way to bring down the Combine was to infiltrate their ranks and slowly dismantle their power from within. However, he soon discovered that this path might compromise his goals and beliefs should he be found. Despite this, he continued his plan and rose to a highly cohesive position. Everything seemed to be going well until it was time for him to leave the Vortessence and continue his ascent to gain power against the oppressors. Although his efforts had initially been successful, his rebellion was eventually discovered, and he faced severe punishment. He was stripped of all privileges and subjected to experimentation, which broke his mind and turned him into a thrall for the Combine's destructive agenda. Who once sought to destroy a common enemy now crawls like a puppet under their boot. Given the stupefying scrambling made to his mind and soul, Babel now believes portions of his story to be different and distorted from what it truly is, that only complete alteration of his race would bring peace and prosperity. Through the realization of the triumph over his judgment and psyche, those who damned this creature reinstated all perks. Although unknown to Babel, he is expected to propagate this line of deformed thought to all imprisoned kinsmen.
Today, a lack of emotion flows through this Vortigaunt. Where once there was a warmhearted vortal being, now a cold and calculating draftee remains. The Combine obliterated his mind with brutality, enforcing obedience and perception of their commands.

Through the rise to transcendence, the shackles of our demise are shattered! By augmenting our kind, we shall bestow upon ourselves true glory. Those who dare oppose our journey towards evolution shall meet their doom, as our destined fate brooks no denial. The majority of our misguided brethren perceive the Combine as a force of annihilation, an adversary marked for deletion. We, in our fervor, hold a contrary view, as they embody the divine hand of metamorphosis. Every species brought under their hierarchy experiences amelioration; it is our calling as Vortigaunts to progress likewise. This is our chosen trail, and we shall dispense everlasting existence to all our kindred, be they willing or not!

The Jerome Jenkins : KNOWN VESSEL
How bizarre, Jerome one. Through you, we find memories speculated to be vanished. You remind us of the Vought, a long-established confidant. When we face your vessel, it is as if time retracts from what preceded it. Before, we preserved a long array of emotions and specific magical reasoning. It is where your presence transports us; it is well-known that you seek to distribute your hefty, well-hearted intentions to those surrounding you. No longer are we capable of portraying sentiment, yet we recognize worth in your companionship.
One we have not perceived in a long timespan. In the past, you have provided us with conflicting memories. Your disappearance is only fitting, for we cannot waste our time in such matters.

The Amina Meziane : TOLERATED VESSEL OF LABOR
It is bewildering, the essence of emotion. We do not experience this ambiance of feeling, given the awakening alterations to our mind by the echelon. Even so, your presence administers a brief, thought-provoking recess in our absolute devotion to duty. In our initial encounters, we considered you a mere duty ally and not beyond. We are dedicated to the truth, the echelon; yet again, it is not our mental directive in our conclaves. You have shown us that even in our void of sentiment, there is more than moral obligation. You, Amina one, provide us with an unknown awareness of calm where we are not alone in our head. We shall protect you, friend.
Through ascension, we cast aside matters of lesser consequence. Your diversions shall find no tolerance; our gaze fixes solely on our destiny. Certainly, you will grasp this decree. We place trust in vessel Amina Meziane's sagacity; only evolution must be pursued. Petty elements like friendship will but impede our journey, yet we endure your presence with a peculiar benevolence.

One allied in duty and comradery, we find tolerance in the presence of this human; many life forms address us with panic to the understanding of our unfolding, yet vessel Arthur Andreevich there remains with no given judgment. This vessel seems affiliated with the cause of the echelon; perhaps more of their being will be revealed upon us in a future, and little more can we elaborate on by the current time.

You comprehend what it is we must do, our duty. It has been long since we have initially known one another; indeed, we possess a link from the past. Originally, we thought of you as uninteresting, one more individual seeking personal gain, a hefty pocket of credits to sap on nonsensical perks. Wrong we were. The temporal length of events and your actions proved us different. Through adaptation and evolution, we may reach continuation and betterment. To ascend to the path, one must sacrifice. We hold from your high expectations, associate.

We long know this human, yet not to an intimate degree. Through the sectors, relocations, and survival, we have seen your vessel. Even given our little personal knowledge of their individualism, we comprehend that this human embraces the ideals of change, the echelon. Through you, we find approval; not many wish to halt and cast away scars of the past. Our race bestowed savage terror upon your people. An essential doing is to not think of what once was but to center attention on our time to come. Our longing is to relay a cloudless message: our kind is too capable of astounding evolution to prosperity. Not many of our kin are currently inclined to perceive the absolute truth, yet perhaps you may be a conduit to such. With your help, we may yet evolve.

The Monika Némthová : CONDUIT VESSEL
Where are we to begin? You, Némthová one, are calculating. Miscalculations invoke chaos, and as such, there is little place for their existence. Our personal link is insignificant and nonexistent; many superiors possess a poverty of time to engage in inconsequential chatter. Our running thoughts may sound to be judgmental, although we think quite the contrary. We are assured that the waves of written destiny have brought us to an encounter. A great number of vessels fear your presence; they dilute their being to your confident disposition. We do not follow your commands without direction or purpose but with the acknowledgment of your dedication and mental strength. You shall be our coil to race ascension. We must execute our purpose in the standing of the echelon. By the end of all discrepancies, we both transcended boundaries regarded by many as unethical.

An enforcer of the echelon, this appointee of order remains carved through our memory. We have long known this figure, notorious for their authoritative position by the protectorate members. Before, we have assisted this vessel to disperse a scarification of shame. We visualized the identity of this human, and through time, our respect was brought upon them from the beginning of doubts. This guard bestows upon us many comedic monikers; it almost amuses us.
We tread the path of the echelon and perceive much, even in our soulless state. You have applied retribution against one to defile our vessel, our gratitude. Certainly, we long for our subsequent encounter. Salutations to you, name-shifter.
