Grohl Habitat
United Republic of Moebius


The Grohl worked in small groups, some walking whilst others floated lazily through the work space. The intersection of Moebian technology and Grohl thinking had led to a unique workplace. Grohl worksuits by default included antigrav boots, allowing the entire area to operate in lower gravity and still maintain something of a ‘normal’ throughway.

Which is how you get Grohl on the ceiling.

It was a curious flight of whimsy from the normally stoic Grohl. Three such Grohl were stood around a work table that was on the ceiling. One of them walked a short distance away and the table followed. Such a workspace was inherently chaotic, and from one day to the next this part of the sprawling Grohl habitat the URM had granted them looked entirely different to the day before.

The table hummed a dull, metallic sound as the Grohl worked. In the centre of the table was a black sludge that pulsed in odd shapes, spearing outwards and then back into itself. The containment field around it held it back from expanding outwards and filling the space of the room. There was borderline psionic energy coming from it and the Grohl had a distinct feeling that it was malicious in nature.

Living amongst the Moebius had changed this Chapter of the Grohl, they were more empathic and open about Grohl customs, and had adopted some of their hosts as their own. This, their Provost would claim, was necessary to acquire vital intelligence from both the Moebius and nearby New Arem. The Aremites, forced to resettle far away from their homeworld thanks to the Kalorians, were relatively skilled navigators, and more than a few had found their way onto the crews attempting to map the uncharted sectors of Grohls space.

In the quest for a new worldmind, many Grohl were content to just rely on their penanitance and faith alone. Such things were considered foolish by these Grohl - and so they turned to science - and whilst calling it ‘logic’ would be close to heresy, such things are for the Yviiri, there was perhaps some reason surrounding their approach. They were closer than any other known Chapter to achieving communication - though communion was more the goal - with the great voidspace.

The voidspace was a psionic place - a realm or dimension away from the plane the Grohl and the other species inhabit - and the Provost was convinced that the voidspace was at least adjacent to the Verdal Mar, or was perhaps a proto-Verdal Mar in of itself, untamed as it was when T’Tek Ar’Den first calmed the mindscape that was then lost in the Cataclysm. The Provost was sure that voidspace would reveal a proto-mindscape somewhere.

They just had to access it.
