Hadriel Audio Guide

How to Use This

Hey. This is Charles Yvry, and if you know that name from anywhere but here, I want you to stop reading this and call me right now. Otherwise, keep going.

Welcome to Hadriel I guess. This is a guide to all the shit that goes on here, some of the people, what’s happened and what’s happening now. It’s in audio format, so just open what you want to hear about. Think of it like an encyclopedia, but less boring. The first three are the most important.

If you’re deaf or you can’t hear very well, just text me, I’ll send you a transcript. If you can’t read, just listen to everything. If you can’t see, uh, I don’t know, call me, we’ll figure it out.

If you've got any ideas for shit I didn't cover, let me know.

That’s it I guess.

The Null

[coyoteking]

The Null are our fucking enemies, okay? Don't do the "maybe they're just misunderstood" thing, they're out to kill us.

They're eight-foot metal assholes who can change shape, and they think emotion is a weakness. Their goal is to wipe out the gods, and probably us, too. We're their food source, after all, and we've all got emotions, probably.

Apparently a long time ago, they used to be living beings, but over time they turned themselves into metal and got rid of everything they considered a weakness. Which, like I said, included emotion. So when they met the gods, and the gods caused emotions, they decided to launch a genocide campaign. Seriously, these guys are bad fucking news.

[Name]

[coyoteking]

I guess there's one Null who isn't an asshole, because it got left behind in the invasion and now it has emotions, too. So it's stuck with us, because its own people would destroy it.

I don't know where it is, but I guess it's in the city somewhere? I'm not sure what happened there. The gods wanted people to turn it in, but nobody did as far as I can tell. Anyway, sometimes it messages us on the network.

Null Weapons

[coyoteking]

So aside from being eight-foot robots, they have shit that can kill us extra dead. Laser cutters, for one. Another thing is like a grenade that melts brains? Shit's bad.

But the most dangerous thing they have is a weapon that can kill gods. Yeah, you might not like the gods, but think about trying to live here without them. Apparently they gave these weapons to people during the invasion who sided with them, so there might be some in the city still. Hard to say.
