the Emperor claiming he had stopped multiple orders for your transformation was the point where I decided to stop trusting him. It’s one of those unverifiable claims that are designed to gain the confidence of the gullible and naive. Why you’re taking what he says at face value I don’t understand

How the prism works is unclear but we can ascertain from the bridge scene that the Absolute’s voice isn’t constant but comes in dramatic revelatory bursts, it is speculated that how we receive orders from the Absolute on the bridge is how others perceive our own commands when using the [illithid] . How Minthara reacts to our presence then could just be her realizing that her appeals for guidance have gone unanswered since being in our presence

Or maybe its the Emperor letting her in. There’s another interesting scene when mind delving into Minthara where Chosen are shown to become mindless thralls if their natural psychic defenses are stripped from them

I’m questioning my memory now, but does Minsc have a tadpole?
