Status update 1.Ā
Package is still in transit ETA 133 Earth days, and we have another report from our sup-troop.
I think theyāve got it. Simple really. The key to defeating both Kek at the 9th pillar AND Kauket at the 8th, lies in the history of Kekās original defeat.
We know that they are at their strongest together, so what would happen if they were to be separated again. Which poses the next challenge⦠How exactly?Ā
Status update 2.Ā
Still no word from TariāMa and her troops, but Mission Control continues its search.
With the new information gathered by the sub-troop, we actually have a chance of beating this, but only if we can do it before ā
Oh no. Theyāre here. The A.P.E.ās have arrived at the 9th pillar.
Code red! Code red! All defense units prepare for attack! Repeat. All defense units prepare for ā

Package is still in transit ETA 140 Earth days, and we have another report from our sub-troop.
Commander Misty tapped in to the C.W. database, and found some rather interesting information. It turns out, this is not the first time that Kek has been summoned to inflict chaos and demise upon the Tarians.
Even before the mask complex plagued the House of Geb, the first Razi summoned Kekās shadow alone to venture to the land of Tari to cloak its people in darkness and devour any free F.L.O. that was left over. The Tarians were able to banish the shadow back to the D.U.A.T. because without its counter part – Kauket – it was not at its strongest.
Now it appears the last Razi have left nothing to chance and have summoned both to guard the Pillars of Geb.
Even with Kek and Kauket at their strongest, we now at least have a better idea of how weāre going to defeat them.Ā
Status update 2.Ā
There is no report from TariāMa. In fact, there has been no communication at all from her or any of her troops.
Mission Control tried to detect any F.L.O. signals that might be resonating from that location, but we havenāt gotten any readings. We even tried aiming our sights to the other side of the 9th pillar in case maybe a few had managed to get across.
We got nothing. Itās as if they have just⦠disappeared.Ā

Package is still in transit ETA 147 Earth days, and we have a report from our sub-troop.
Commander Misty has chosen to proceed with stealth. Their plan was to create a diversion to lure Kauketās shadow away from the 8th pillar threshold long enough for her team toslip by undetected, and then to place a raāza lantern to stand guard in itās place so the shadow cannot follow them through the portal.
The distraction appeared to be working at first, but the team had barely taken a couple of steps from their hiding place before Kauket was upon them – much too old and wise to be fooled.
Luckily, their second in command – Nikita – did some quick thinking and unveiled the raāza lantern at the last second causing the shadow to cringe away in agony.
Now thereās some good news and bad news. The good news is they have Kauket stunned and cornered in. The bad news is, Kauket is pinned in directly between them and the 8th pillar threshold, and now the shadow is fully aware of their threat.Ā
Status update 2.Ā
We can only assume that TariāMa continues to trek and stumble around the pitch black tunnels of Tari in search of her comrades. And A.P.E. units continue to close in on the 9th Pillar.Ā

Package is still in transit ETA 154 Earth days, and we have a report from our sub-troop. Commander Misty has led them to the 8th pillar, and much like our main troops at the 9th pillar, they have run into some trouble. Another shadow lies in wait – Kauketās.
Fortunately our team has not been spotted yet, and have the luxury to contemplate confrontation versus stealth to handle this. But to be frank, I have a bad feeling about this.Ā
Status update 2.
Our main troops at the 9th pillar are under attack. We were prepared for a fight, but not quite like this.
TariāMa has reported that nearly all of our soldiers have been consumed by darkness, and frozen in time. Literally stuck in place. And those who managed to escape have scattered in chaos after being stricken with blindness – TariāMa included.
A last stand may indeed be underway, but I have faith that the Tari people will find each other. Before itās too late.Ā

Good news⦠well sorta. We finally have an ETA on the package in transit. Assignment Two detail is set to arrive at M.W.G. sub T.P.3 in 161 Earth days.
Commander Misty has not sent any updates yet on the sub-mission. Too early to get nervous though; Iām sure weāll hear from them soon.
Status update 2.
Now the bad news.
TariāMa has halted all troops at the 9th pillar because there is a blockage. It appears the Razi had anticipated our counter move, and summoned Kekās shadow to hold us to Tari territory.
They know, too, itās a race for advantage, and so far theyāve got it.
Greetings Muāsā”šā”this is your Captain speaking.
Status update 1.
Package is still in route, and the sub-troop has departed on their sub-mission to the D.U.A.T. Their mission commander – Misty – will relay regular updates on their progress via. a separate F.L.O. COMM frequency.
The good news is they havenāt run into any problems so far, yet misfortune is inevitable when it comes to the dealings of the underworld.
Status update 2.
Tari’Ma has led the troops to the threshold of the 9th pillar, but there has been a halt. No word back yet on the hold up, but time is not on our side.

Status update 1.
Package is still in route, and Wedjat Tari has assembled a small sub-troop to venture to the D.U.A.T. and summon the first Ushabti.
The journey alone is dangerous enough, but I donāt anticipate any ease to our worries once our team reaches their destination. UshabtāMa has not strayed from his duties since even before the notion of Osiris came to rule, and he will not be pleased to be disturbed.
Even still, there is no guarantee that we will receive the council that we seek. But we must try.
Status update 2.
All troops are mobilized and waiting for the go-ahead from TariāMa to begin the trek to the other side of the 9th pillar. We have left some troops behind to defend Tari in a last stand if it does come to that.
Greetings Muāsā”šā”this is your Captain speaking.
Status update 1.
Package is still in route, and the Razi have successfully launched a total of nine surveillance probes to intercept it when itās within range. Mission Control has run down a lengthy list of options on how to deal with this complication, but none viable enough to rest our fate in.
We have not choice but to seek council from the first Ushabti.
Status update 2.
There has been a change of plans.
The Tarians will not wait for the APEās to arrive at our doorstep, and plan to stop them before they even reach the 9th Pillar. Yes, that means we must cross over ourselves.
For the first time in eons, the Tari people will touch down on House of Geb soil once again.
