Summary
As Trobbio mopes around the stage in his new, purpler clothes, wondering what to do now that Hornet has so thoroughly rebuffed his call to die tragic style with him, he receives a letter. One which calls him away from here, to a place he does not know. Perhaps it will give him the dramatic release and end he so seeks. Or maybe he'll stop whining about the end of the world.

Summary
Deep within the ground, almost teetering on the edge of the Abyss, there lies the broken form of a vessel.

I've always wondered these questions. This is my attempt to provide an answer.
