Miss Hornet!

I am... curious, to know if you favor any of us Cogflies? Not that it is an important question. I just would like to know.

Also, for completely unrelated reasons, you should know that the last time you went to Putrified Ducts, it was I who killed more Spit Squits than any other Cogfly, before they could shoot a single bit of acid at you! And I am also the one who gets the least distracted by tiny creatures who pose no threat to you. Any creature that could pose a danger to you falls by my blades far more often than the other Cogflies.

For no reason of course.

I am merely curious to know.

...

If I do recall correctly, I was also traveling with a fractured leg at the time.

...apologies, for I have no opinion.

You get a tophat? I thought automatons weren't meant to have hats?? It looks so cool!

I wonder why Miss Hornet never gave me a top hat... maybe I should ask her for one... I bet it would make me look bigger! And more intimidating to enemies!!

Citadel Cogworker, I need to know! Does anyone cower in fear when they see you in your tophat? Do enemies run away from you?? Does it make you feel bigger???

Hello, C-cogfly! I did not know automatons weren’t a-allowed to have h-hats - perhaps that was a rule outside the C-c-Citadel. Nonetheless, thank you for the c-compliment!

I do not s-see many e-enemies where I am. My fellow cogwork b-bugs know me as one of them, and the husks are often engaged in too much m-mindless worship.

However, I admit I do f-feel quite h-high and m-mighty! If that v-visitor comes again, I can ask them for another!

Also, do you know any j-jokes? I am attempting to l-learn more.

*The Cogfly flaps over to Hornet, its eyes now containing golden lights in them. It is finally returning after a... suspiciously long time*

G-greetings, Miss Hornet. I am aware the rest of my fellow cogflies are with you? I will need them to come with me.

@cogfly-official

...Why are you orange.

*A letter falls from the sky before Hornet*

/Dear Miss Hornet.../

/Greetings. It is me, your old Cogfly companion. During my journeys within the Citadel, I have come across a... disturbing place, hidden beneath the High Halls. It is called Whiteward. I have discovered some of its terrible secrets, however I cannot find a Conductor or even a Grand Reed willing to investigate it. I have heard whispers of its true purpose, however I would like to ask you first. I know you have travelled through the Holy Citadel, though I have no memory of it. Perhaps you know just how connected, if at all, this Ward is to the Holy Citadel?/

/From, Cogfly/

@cogfly-official

...So you have seen it.

I... while I am glad you have found a part of the greater truth, I would not wish that discovery upon anyone. A terrifying realization to many.

As for how connected they are... very. Very connected. So connected that the Citadel attempted to bury this past under gilded buildings and hopes of others forgetting.

Are you alright?
