In light of recent events, I believe we're past due for more information gathering.
First, I'd like to discuss the tower we encountered last month. There were... interesting messages scrawled across its surface, which I thankfully wrote down before its destruction.
They read:
"This remnant-
Carved from [...] First Impact Remains [...]
Meant to be left alone. The Tears used it in their ritual-
Now it's out of control, changing everything it can"
The Convoy Database regards the Silver Tears as effectively the antithesis of the Steel Wardens. Reverent to the moon and its "blessings" (the transformations). I've no doubt they're the ones behind the scattered shrines we encountered some months prior...
And, obviously, we're well acquainted with those wretched Wardens, with their hypocritical obsession with "purging" this world of monsters.
The words "First Impact" stick out to me as significant. I actually spoke with Blake-san about it as well, and she encountered similar mentions of an impact in scavenged books that had a great deal of information scrubbed clean.
There is clearly something that one of the factions does not want us to discover. Given my previous findings, we know that something of significance was broken in two, that the moon goddess suffers in anguish, and a ritual failed, with us as replacement participants to "share her pain" and "put the ritual right."
But now, thanks to that sagebrush, some of us have been gifted with visions, and I believe that if we share our findings, we can come closer to the truth.
In my case, I witnessed a woman dispatching a monster before turning to panicked civilians and murdering one of them in cold blood. Presumably, she went on to kill the rest of them, but the vision ended there.
For the sake of this post, I believe the most pertinent information is:
• Where you had the vision.
• The description of the vision...
An optional detail:
• The object that sparked the vision.
Mine was in the battleground, and the vision came as I tried ripping the sword from a fallen cyborg's hand.

no subject
[He could leave it at that, but...]
The Phantom Thieves aren't murderers. They'd certainly favor another approach, unless left with no other options.
private
There's another long pause before Shadow responds again. When he does, he's switched the feed to a private one. ]
I killed someone once. Someone who didn't deserve it.
I can't go back and undo it. But someone gave me a chance to do better in the future, and I want to make the most of it.
private from this point on
[To a frustrating degree, really. Perhaps more than Shadow could fully comprehend.]
Killing is one area I excel all too well. At least you've only killed the one individual.
Not that it invalidates your pain or guilt, of course. Rather, you were given that chance early enough that you could change your ways without falling further down that path.
