This night I felt the mental connection with my brother being subtly severed. Any attempt of mine to contact him was ultimately in vain. I could feel as if he was in multiple places at the same time, but thoroughly inactive, incapable of thinking. I suspect he must have fallen into a trap.
This happened right after he stepped into the edges of the Material Substrate. Whatever induced this state to him should be in there. From the little I could gather, the enemy appears to be a rather advanced humanoid-like species that obtained very esoteric technology.
I do not know if mother knows about this, but I won't try to find out. I tried to reach out to my other brother, to check if he was interested in this ordeal, but I could not find him anywhere.
No matter. These beings will pay all the same, for no one harms the queen's court and leaves off intact.
This is a call for punishment. A call that I will answer thus.
