Reservoir is the first record in doughbyte, and serves as the starting point for the story.
Synopsis
AURAK gathers his most trusted members of The Church and proposes a plan to them: fill the Glaciercreek Reservoir with Llokin blood. AURAK's Llokin cabinet then discuss the feasibility of this plan and begin laying down the groundwork for what each of them will do.
Blood Farm
The gist of the plan involves capturing the entire Llokin species and forcing them to grow and be slaughtered for their blood. The blood would then be poured into the Glaciercreek Reservoir until it was full. According to MEFET, it would take approximately 160 billion Llokin to fill the reservoir completely, so the team ultimately agrees to scale down the project to something that would be feasible in a few hundred years. Keeping such an entire species in imprisonment would be exceptionally difficult alone, but the different physiology between Chevrin and Llokin adds another layer of challenges that would need to be overcome, mainly food and temperature.
Invasion
Acquiring such a large quantity of Llokin is a daunting challenge, since they reside very close to the Focus, and inside the Terminator's ring. The ambient temperature of the Caldera proper is about 40 degrees Celsius. The Chevrin are a species that resides in sub-zero temperatures, so to survive the hot temperatures of the caldera, they would need some serious innovation.
Gravity Warheads
NERAN mentions a plan that he has had for (apparently) a long time: gravity warheads. What is notable about NERAN's plan is not the weaponry, but the ensuing argument that he and WARES have about their feasibility. The way both of them talk about guiding the missiles and avoiding the Focus implies that The Surface and the Focus are positioned in a way that avoiding them is an important factor. On Earth, this wouldn't be a problem, which means that The Surface's shape differs from a planet's in some capacity.
Trivia
- Lots of information about the Llokin's physiology is mentioned in this record.
- Llokin have about 1.2 liters of blood, according to MEFET.
- According to TARAN's geographic estimates, there cannot be more than 350 thousand Llokin in the Caldera. The actual population is most likely much lower, given that there is very little room for them to exist.
- TARAN implies that the age of adulthood for Llokin is about 10 years old.
- NYXEM is established as the Chevrin deity in this record.
- According to AURAK, the Focus and The Surface have a limited timespan before they "collapse". It's unclear if this means complete destruction of the entire World.
- Llokin seem to thrive around 39 degrees Celsius. According to TARAN, a Llokin goes into torpor at around 30 degrees Celsius.
- TARAN mentions that Llokin need about a meal a week to survive. It is unclear what effect more than one meal a week has.
