"My name is Maarva Carrassi Andor. I'm honored to stand before you. I'm honored to be a Daughter of Ferrix, and honored to be worthy of the stone.

Strange. I feel as if I can see it. I was six, I think, first time I touched a funerary stone. Heard our music. Felt our history. Holding my sister's hand as we walked all the way from Fountain Square. Where you stand now I've been more times than I can remember.

I always wanted to be lifted. I was always eager, always waiting to be inspired. I remember every time it happened, every time the dead lifted me with their truth. And now I'm dead, and I yearn to lift you. Not because I want to shine or even be remembered. It's because I want you to go on. I want Ferrix to continue. In my waning hours that's what comforts me most.

But I fear for you. We've been sleeping. We've had each other, and Ferrix, our work, our days. We had each other and they left us alone. We kept the trade lane open, and they left us alone. We took their money and ignored them, we kept their engines churning, and the moment they pulled away we forgot them. Because we had each other. We had Ferrix. But we were sleeping. I've been sleeping. And I've been turning away from the truth I wanted not to face.

There is a wound that won't heal at the center of the galaxy. There is a darkness reaching like rust into everything around us. We let it grow and now it's here. It's here and it's not visiting anymore. It wants to stay.

The Empire is a disease that thrives in darkness; it is never more alive than when we sleep. It's easy for the dead to tell you to fight, and maybe it's true—maybe fighting is useless. Perhaps it's too late. But I'll tell you this: if I could do it again, I'd wake up early and be fighting these bastards from the start! Fight the Empire!"

Hey you. Yeah. You. You look like you need a reminder. Don't give up the ghost. Don't bite your tongue. Don't make it easy for them. Not now, not ever.

some of y'all haven't experienced the tapes monologue in Kitty Horrorshow's ANATOMY (itch.io link) and it shows! truly its on some haunting of hill house shit, here's a snippet:

There is an important distinction that must be drawn between the words 'dissection' and 'vivisection'-- a distinction that would appear to be lost on you.

Your purpose was to listen, and yet at every turn you have pried, you have prodded, and you have interfered. Have you not been paying attention? Did it not occur to you that as an organism existing within a greater organism, your intrusion would be felt?

And still you harassed. And now, like the wayward spider who witlessly settles upon a sleeper's tongue, you will be swallowed. Because the truth is this: when a house is both hungry and awake, every room becomes a mouth.
