Half-Assed Chance Performs Kalae Vyreshi by PSION

The story of young Traveller Tac/Comms officer named Thaan Virenna who at the age of 19 gave her life to save the fledgling fleet. Early in the life of the Traveller existence a stealthed ship had infiltrated the fleet, hacked into the flagship, The Crown of Ash and Salt, and had set in motion a series of events that would trigger an overload of the main reactor.

Thaan Virenna knew that there was no time to waste so she she triggered the alerts system, told the captain what was happening and, using her lifelong knowledge of the ship, travelled through irradiated passages pulling power conduits and slowing the pace of the overload. Eventually she reached the reactor and with her last action, averted the catastrophe saving the lives of a half a million people.

Her name is still celebrated among the Traveller fleet as everyone knows that she saved not only the lives of the people on the ship that day but every soul that had been born ever since.

Kalae Vyreshi was written by PSION and performed in Traveller by Half-Assed Chance on Deck 93 of The Crown of Ash and Salt.

The Travellers – A Brief Synopsis

The Travellers are a nomadic spacefaring civilization descended from humanity. They left Earth centuries ago during the First Expansion aboard massive generation ships to escape ecological collapse and geopolitical turmoil. Unlike colonists seeking new worlds, the Travellers chose endless movement, a culture built around survival in the void, interdependence, and reverence for memory.

Vinaresh tella Thaan Virenna-Saal,
The wind still sings of Thaan Virenna’s Hall,
Shaelen veyr’eth, cala shaaren taal.
Her starlit name, the void still calls.
Vaere syen’an línor shaena,
Bright fire once burned in her sacred light,
Aralae fyr’tan veli kastra.
Now only ashes drift through night.

Kalae vyr’tar, velaar’eth sain,
The lost path waits, veiled and unseen,
Teshari lûn’kae, carën vain.
Silent stations, carved in dream.
Nae’nalla syar, aeli venar,
We speak her name, though no one hears,
Vahl’an talaen, vyrasenar.
We walk alone, with vanished years.

Shae kalae vyreshi, cala varan shae,
I walk the broken path, but still I stay.
Thar’elen sari, shaer’an tae.
Through shattered stars, I find my way.
Vaelin tari, aranaer sel,
The gate is gone, the threads unspooled,
Calae ten vyr’la, sarën fel.
But we recall the ones it ruled.
Thaan Virenna, tari las vel,
Thaan Virenna, lost but bright,
Cala’n sharalë, tari kasar’el.
Her burning heart became our night.
Neshar tari, arën valir,
We feared her fate, yet shared it near,
Kalae vyreshi, tari enlir.
I walk the broken path—drawn here.

Verse 2
Shaene talaar Ashal Ireythë,
I dream the halls of Ashal Ireythë,
Teshan cyrë, kallë trelanë.
Her silver spires, her endless flame.
Shyr velin, valaen fyrë,
Soft was her voice, wild her fire,
Tali’rashan kallar syrae.
Until the drift claimed her choir.

Fyrë talenë, linae sararë,
Fire turned cold, and light grew thin,
Shaelen telae na vyrashirë.
Her name now echoes only within.
Vel tari, shaenë, kala'laenë,
She is gone, and we remain,
Shan varelë na vyrë talenë.
Calling out through Drift and flame.

(Chorus repeats)
Bridge
Shan talaenë, tari vyrashë,
We walked together, then apart,
Tala vyrën, calën soryae.
Two shadows, one fading heart.
Varaen’tele, selar kyren,
Stars forget, but I remember,
Cala tanelë, vahl’kasen.
The oath we spoke near dying embers.

Kae talanë, vrenën shae,
Now I go where you once led,
Nala’taelë kallas vyralae.
Carving truth from things unsaid.
Essan shae, tenë vyrë,
Even now, I walk the line,
Salen taleië, faren kaleië.
Between your silence and the time.

(Chorus repeats)
Outro
Shae kalae vyreshi, tari vyrathë,
I walk the broken path into the deep,
Tala shaerenë, cala veyrë.
No stars remain, no light to keep.
Sarin laranë, tala vyr’nalë,
The last light flickers, soft and small,
Cala’n selyaë, shan vyrë taleë.
But still I sing, I still recall.
Thaan Virenna, tari shaela,
Thaan Virenna, gone away,
Shaen vyrarënë, tala sala.
But I remember you each day.
