We met by
the Lake of Hali
he kissed me there
my King in Yellow
We danced that day
to harp music, drums, cheers
(was it night? were they screams?)
for Hastur and I.
The suns never set
or perhaps, never rise
in Carcosa, my throne
The King and I.

The spirit of Muad'Dib is more than words, more than the letter of the Law that arises from his name. Muad'Dib must always be that inner outrage against the complacently powerful, against the charlatans and the dogmatic fanatics.
Caught a whiff of
#hiraeth today,
walking outside
my parents' house.
My dad had a garden,
a yearly smell of brow sweat,
vegetables, and fresh-tilled dirt.
Garden's gone for years now,
Dad for six months.

I watched the spacedock explode; my head filled with uncertainty. Were we right in what we were doing? Was our cause just?
And what of the pope and her children on Albraxus 7, the world the natives call NuRome?

Portal travel accounts for drift as best it can. Within a galaxy, this is simply done, requiring a mere updating of the dataspheres at the Central Node every thousand years or so. A child with a basic understanding of Stebbins Law can do it.

"What's this compound do?"
"Knocks you out. You're going to want that. Trip's long."
"Talk about an understatement. It's 5,000 years."
"You'll sleep through most of it."
"Do I take with water?"
"No. Goes in through your skin by touch. You've already taken it."

Moving day. Pray for us. Old gods and new and those yet to come.
And Yog Sothoth, who knows where they broke through of old, and where they will break through again.
