I've tried communicating with it. Being there... touching its energies with my own, it almost drove me mad.
There isn't sentience. It's just very old and very vast and being with it for too long turns you inward onto yourself. I thought I'd become like it if I stayed too long.
Afterward, I kept my visits shorter. I tried to understand it, but beyond the function of it, there isn't anything to understand. The thought of you or any of the others losing yourselves to it is unacceptable... so I hid it from you. If your first instinct is to run after it and try to communicate, you'll only be assuring me that my choice to keep it secret was the correct one.
