Mercury.
The stunted dwarf of a rock burbles hurried experiences and pleas at me: It's expectations of barbarism, thwarted. A dog pet, and the delight this inspired in the vaster lifeform. Kindness, celebrated. Our Weapon, it implores, all I seek is coexistence.
"Then I propose a business transaction" I tell it, finally. "Relief from your pain, in exchange for a reallocation of resources"
And it agrees. The Vex do not inhabit time as the Nine do, but they are more skilled at cheating it. Can construct devices to siphon or harness dark matter. With their proprietary paracausality that I embody, they construct a number of rings which the Weaver seeds her strands into that use Darkness to smother the agony of being Taken, cracked and terraformed. I of Nine breathes a sigh of relief under it's brave face, and directs more effort towards manipulating the production of laser weapons on it's surface. A week later, all Guardians enjoy surprise discounts on tracer rifle sales.
Venus.
The scoured home of the Ishtar Collective greets me with entrepreneurial optimism, buoyed by it's sibling's bargain. It speaks of how the Gardener once considered it as fertile soil. An opportunity - yet renewable, it entreats, our interests - need not - mutually exclude.
"If we can count on your support against the council" I state, "On behalf of the Traveller, I will renew a discarded possibility"
And it agrees. The Oracle sees the schema of the Traveller's efforts, and remembers them in Darkness, then in Light. Verdant blooms sprout across Venus where she shifts back a layer of reality-and through creative interpretation, starts the evolution of one organism in particular that could one day be a suitable body. II of Nine signals it's gratitude for being chosen as the first Nine to have an Ultimate One|suitable celestial vessel grown for it.
