N.B
Even though Bondings were celebrated after The Arrival, it appears that all the O8 believe that they began their voyage as couples & that it was more a case of reBonding

With thanks to Saorsa Dion & Sisu Feath for all the above information. We hope to tell you more about these Original DSC crew members over time.

The Lore timeline on the DSC website has since been updated to include this information

Transcript of The Story Of The Arrival As Told By The Last Remaining O8 Crew Members.
Obtained from a recent visit by their son to the secret hideaway somewhere in the Stanton system.

The whereabouts of the last remaining couple of the original eight [08] known only to their immediate family has been kept secret. The reason for this was always believed to be because one of them, if not both are Intuvii.

The couple lived a nomadic life for a hundred years or so after ‘the arrival’, in which time they reared a family, travelling with them throughout the known Verse. On the formation of the Ark in 2800 however, in an attempt to remain unregistered, they settled ~ something very unusual for their ‘race’.

Their offspring carried on travelling and continue the exploratory lifestyle they were used to today, now, with families of their own, they recognise that even though their parents are in good health, they are not going to be around forever and have asked them to share memories before it’s too late. They thought a good place to start would be a firsthand record of their arrival as told by their parents, little did they know that this would be the tip of the iceberg of a huge archive of ‘stories’ handkept by the couple, which are in fact their life’s work since settling, which they continue to protect carefully and are obviously the reason they have remained hidden ~ but that’s another (few) stories, when the couple eventually agree to release them.

So follows the transcript of: The Story Of The Arrival As Told By The Last Remaining O8 Crew Members.

Transcriber: [Son]
So shall we start with your names?

Both Interviewees :
[Laughing] No!

Transcriber:
[Laughing} Just kidding, O.K so can you tell me about when you first arrived here?

O8 Him:
Well, we came around in what we now know was the DSA [ Deep Space Anomaly ] lab in the Stanton system

O8 Her:
Yes we just woke up there.

O8 Him::
It soon became clear to us that our ‘rescuers’ were under duress and the star system itself was under a negative destabilizing influence of endangering forces. It felt kind of pressured.

O8 Her:
Yes the reception wasn’t welcoming.

O8 Him:
Well it wasn’t hostile.

O8 Her::
No it wasn’t hostile, but it wasn’t welcoming.

O8 Him:
No it wasn’t welcoming, there was a lot of stress and distractions.

Transcriber:
War was coming right?

O8 Him:
Yes and revolution.

O8 Her:
Under the circumstances we decided on reticence, to focused on keeping our Wholi* clear .

O8 Him:
And we didn’t understand this language then either.

O8 Her:
No and they didn’t understand us.

O8 Him:
Plus we were suffering post traumatic kryo-pod emergence and our memories hadn’t returned

O8 Her:
They never did actually.

Both [Laughter]

O8 Him:
But seriously we do have some moments of intuvision, they are possibly memories but it is unclear of their time placement or meaning.


*********************************************

O8 Him:
So basically, we were unable to attune wholi with our rescuers and further divided by language.

Transcriber:
Can you explain Intuvision

O8 Him:
I guess the closest word you have for it, would be an amalgamation of of the meanings of psychic visions and dreams?

O8 Her:
Yes, daydreams but realer

O8 Him:
Yes because they are completely immersive in an experiential level, sensory.

Transcriber:
Thanks.
OK, so what happened next?

O8 Him:
They continued their ‘ investigations’ separately, one on one.

O8 Her:
I remember some kind of visual recognition test…. I remember not really recognising any of the images they showed us,

O8 Him:
No.
I know they were ships, weapons, people

O8 Her
Yes and writing, different languages.

O8 Him:
Yes.

[The couple were both shown other artifacts that I have agreed to omit from this transcription for the time being, but promise to reveal it in context later]

O8 Her:
We felt the need to get out of there, we really needed to regain homeostasis & wholiostassi.
O8 Him:
Unfortunately we didn’t get a chance to connect wholi with our rescuers.

Transcriber:
Can you define ‘wholi’ ?

O8 Her:
We based this word on your word holistic, wholi represents mind/body/psyche with a psychic element to it, a kind of super-intuition that can be tuned into when wholi is perfectly in balance. Wholi can be shared between people, or as we say people can commune in wholi.

Transcriber:
Thanks.
What was your purpose when you arrived, did you have a purpose?

O8 Her:
We don’t have a word/meaning for purpose, it is an alien concept for us, one we have still decided not to take on.

O8 Him:
No, we explore, but it’s not a purpose, it’s just what we do naturally.

O8 Her:
It’s our nature.

Transcriber:
But you are settled here now, how do you find that?

Both:
Well, we are still exploring really

O8 Her:
Yes we are exploring the intuvisionary world now.

Transcriber:
What happened next?

O8 Him:
We were all taken for medical examination.

O8 Her:
It became really obvious just what a state of crisis everyone was in.

O8 Him:
We wanted out the minute we arrived, luckily we only had a short stay. there were people in much more need than us.

O8 Her:
But when we got out it wasn’t much better was it?

O8 Him:
No it wasn’t

Transcriber:
Did all eight of you stick together?

O8 Him:
Yes we did, especially to begin with, we spent time trying to piece anything together that might help us know who in space we were or what in space we were doing here.

O8 Her:
It was pretty confusing for a while, but it was also exciting deiscovering somewhere new.

O8 Him
Thankfully, we met some good people took us in, showed us the ropes and helped us get space faring again. We crewed other’s ships for a while until we managed to pick up our own, a Retaliator by Aegis. There was a lot of them around

Transcriber:
So that was your first ‘owned’ ship after the arrival?

O8 Her:
Yes it was basically the bare bones version.

O8 Him:
Yes, the Retaliator Base, there were a lot of them about and they were affordable we repurposed it for exploration.

O8 Her
It’s supposed to crew seven, but we squeezed one more in.

O8 Him:
Then we added a few single person ships to what was to become Deep Space Crew!

Taking a break from this eternally broken game...... and don't tell me it's in Alpha. I have a BOAT LOAD of cash invested in this thing, and it just keeps letting me down. At this point.....its just not fun anymore. Losing all my cash recently is the last straw. I'm tired of playing for hours/days, for nothing. SO.....I'll be back in 3.11, 3.12 or later. May even wait till 4.0. CIG is epicly failing, in my opinion. The house of cards of continually adding things, but not fixing what they've already built, will come crashing down if they don't fix it. Its too bad really. I had so much hope for this project. This was my one place to go to, so I didn't have to think about how fucked up my own country was, and has become under cheeto head.

Transcription of a handkept *6 record from Saorsa Dion, a last remaining O8 requested of her by a friend of Deep Space Crew to share with the organisation.


To Saorsa Dion, if you see this, we {Deep Space Crew}, would like to express our gratitude to you for making contact with us. To the gobetween who initiated it, please don’t leave it so long before contacting us again. To you both, go safely.


The Transcript.

As i begin to write, it feels awkward, because writing is something i learnt late in life to help a necessary integration into the society that i, {and the rest of the O8*1 Original Eight crew}, found ourselves in after The Arrival. Why we had never learnt to write previous to that, is a good place to begin this handkept record to share with your organisation of fellow keepers of the vision.

After The Arrival*2, most of the O8’s time spent within the societal system was relatively short lived. In this time we connected with some good people, became space faring again and able to continue the nomadic existence that resonated more with our true nature on all levels. Others, with a taste for adventure and eager to live a different life, joined us.

Although we met many good individuals, we realised that we could never resonate with the system we found ourselves in, or any other system where methods of control are in place. Our ancestors left such concepts behind a long time ago, with the belief that even the best intentions for control are utterly unnecessary for an abundant and peaceful existence.

We have never yet been able to answer the mystery of our actual whereabouts before The Arrival, or what we were doing, where we were heading or why, however we have rediscovered much about ourselves and why we instinctively perceive the world around us in the way we do.

We found that our philosophy, beliefs and desires stemmed from seed impressions so deeply ingrained in our psyche that we don’t just identify with these impressions, we are unable to comfortably identify with anything other than them.

These impressions also alter the frequency spectrum at which our bodies generally vibrate at a cellular level. Of course this is true of each and every sentient being, with frequency as an unavoidable factor that sets all living creatures physically apart from one and another. It is our specific frequency spectrum however, that makes us intuvii by enabling us to tune in to a state of intuvision*3. And although this frequency spectrum isn’t unique to us, being a descendant of generations of intuvii seems to have made it an epigenetic inevitability.

Some words that best describe these impressions in terms of intellectual concepts are freedom, connectedness, inclusivity, universal integration, oneness, wholeness, fullness, holistic, homeostasis, equilibrium, equality, unity with all existence. The intuvii word we use to round this meaning up is wholiostasii*5, but we could just call it love for all life and it is the same thing.

Intuvisionary*4 memories,{some of which we are recording with the hope of sharing one day}, make it easy for intuvii to believe in the haven of utter, absolute well being that we are inspired to create in every living moment, but sometimes even those that don’t experience these memories also appreciate the possibility… we believe that these visionaries have developmental intuvision that can eventually lead to intuvii and that in just one lifetime they can become what took us generations to. They too will then be able to gain access to a resonant well of information, by way of intuvision. {There are levels of intuvision, the mechanics of which i will not go into right now}.

They can also experience and live, if they choose, in a state of wholiostasii. We understand this to be similar to a type of nirvana. A beautiful presence resonating at such a frequency that it seemed to give us a resonant immunity against anything that might threaten it. This presence can be experienced by a single person all the way to whole star systems and beyond. There are no limits to the expansion of wholiostasii. It needs no external stimulus, it is an utterly natural state of being.

Anyway to get back to why we don’t usually put things in writing. Because of the combination of the way our memory works and how we can communicate in a way that we understand to be similar to psychically, by sharing intuvisions, intuvii don’t usually write. However we have realised that handkept records are beneficial right now, so we have been happy to respond to the request of an anonymous friend of Deep Space Crew, who will pass this message to the Archive Division, to transcribe in a format to share with the organisation. We are quite aware of this organisation.

The last remaining intuvii of which i am one, live in transient hiding to maintain this frequency that is our birthright. We stay tuned in order to maintain the frequency in the space we are so we can live peaceful existence, wherever, whenever. We watch with welcoming hearts as our descendants and developing intuvii throughout the verse, knowing and unknowing alike, against the odds, through all adversity, share the vision. Go safely.

*2, The Arrival. The Arrival is the name that has come to mean when the O8 were discovered.

*3, Intuvision. A blend of intuition and vision which is experienced as if it were actually happening.

*4, Intuvisionary memories. These are intuvisions that have been recognised to be memories.

*5, Wholiostasii. A blend of whole and homeostasis. A natural state whereby someone wholey realises their connection with all life on all levels.
Words with similar meanings that collectively help to describe the intuvii word Wholiostasii are; connectedness, inclusivity, universal integration, oneness, wholeness, fullness, holistic connection, homeostasis, equilibrium, equality, unity with all existence, mind/ body/ spirit, freedom, \love. Someone in a state of wholiostasii can be called wholi. Wholistassi comes naturally to those with the gift of intu or intuvii.
