These aren't detailed predictions about the future, but rather insights into the workings of Fate and the true natures and motivations of those they encounter. A Gabrielite can't keep this knowledge to itself; revelations must be spoken so that at least one other person can hear them, and in many cases the Gabrielite itself doesn't even know what he'll say until he's said it. |
