Migration of The Herd in 80210

The most recent time that The Herd visited The Star System.

Background

Participants

Acting Parties

The Herd regularly visits The Star System to forage for radiation, minerals and other nutrients. Such migrations occur approximately every 111 Years in the Calendar of Those Who Know. At the time of this migration, The Herd consisted of 97 ships including the one who would later be known as The Lone Youngling.

Reacting Parties

The migration was mainly observed by The Hive of Those Who Know, who are familiar with these recurrent guests and vice versa. Younger cultures inhabiting The Star System were largely unaware of the event. It is possible that some individuals or organizations noticed signs of the camouflaged ships, but they are unlikely to interpret them correctly.

Indirectly Involved Parties

The Rilsu spaceship Pasutgiruta launched during that time, attracting the Lone Youngling's attention and leading to her separation from the rest of The Herd.

Locations

The Herd stopped by every celestial body in The Star System at least once, except for the Central Star. The points of entry and exit were at safe distances to That Which Changes.

History

Prelude

According to the communication between The Hive and The Lone Youngling, the latter was born between this migration and the one before. She was around 37 Years old by the time The Herd arrived in The Star System.
The Pasutgiruta launch had been scheduled for a date when The Sandy Moon and The Watery Planet were closest to each other.

Key Events

Summary

After materializing near That Which Changes, The Herd made a first stop at The Outer Planetoid before moving further inwards. They spent almost two Phases and eight Weeks foraging in The Star System before getting ready to leave.
While they were on their way back to The Outer Planetoid, one youngling spotted the launch of Pasutgiruta from afar and flew away to have a closer look, despite the warnings of the adults. She turned around by the time The Herd made its final stop at The Outer Planetoid, and tried rejoining the others for the departure from The Star System. However, the distance had grown too long in the meantime, so she arrived about one Culture Day after they had dematerialized.
Stranded without a way to leave The Star System, the Lone Youngling eventually took a rest at The Outer Planetoid before traveling back inwards. She stopped at The Molten Planet for a while, and finally moved on to The Watery Planet.

Consequences

The Lone Youngling will have to wait for the next migration in order to reunite with her kind. The Herd's means of interstellar travel depends on a form of synchronization between phenomena like That Which Changes. Those cannot be manipulated by any known entity, so the only solution is to wait for such a synchronization to occur naturally.
The Hive continues to monitor her whenever possible, but mostly leaves her to cope on her own in accordance with their philosophy of minimal interference.
