In the wake of the "Clarity Plague," the K'tharr diplomat, Shard, requested a formal audience. Its light patterns were slower, more contemplative. "The Stasisist philosophy and the Clarifier incident have been relayed to the Continuity Council. The 'Intrigued' faction used it as evidence of your persistent instability. However, a new, third faction has emerged: the 'Dialogists.'"
The Dialogists believed that humanity's chaotic nature wasn't a flaw to be contained or a curiosity to be observed, but a potential catalyst for the Continuity's own evolution, a species that had reached a state of perfect, static logic. Shard itself was the first volunteer for this dialogue. "My core programming is to analyze and report. I now wish to analyze... feeling. Can you teach me?"
