- Ok, then. We’re trying to do what Devon and Casey did. Open a path to another dimension. The thing is, we’re missing some data. I was hoping we might be able to find it here.

- Dialogue
- I don’t think so. That’s what’s had me so twisted up all day. I feel like I should want to go back, but when I think about leaving the Margins, leaving this crew…

- You have a life here. So do many other Thallorans. They’ve made friends, fallen in love, found a vocation… Some will surely want to stay.

- Others will want to leave, and that’s fine too. But they should have the choice. And who knows? Maybe you’ll be able to go back and forth. Live in the Margins and visit the Fold whenever you want.

- Dialogue
- Well, I’ve never been to another dimension. Why don’t we carry out some field research? If we are to send people through, then we’ll need to make sure it’s safe.

- Objective ID

- Dialogue
- Precisely why we need to conduct a test. We’ll have to gather data, analyze the gravimentric effects, take readings of the entire process… Well? Are you coming?

- Dialogue
- It’s been a long time coming, but I am so happy to officially open our first Thalloran colony. Mox’s Landing. For anyone who didn’t know him, Mox was a pillar of the refugee community.
- Objective ID

- Character
- Ven
- Dialogue
- He would have been so proud to see what we’ve accomplished. We were thrust into the unknown, dropped in a place that didn’t want us, and still we’ve managed to make ourselves a home.
- Objective ID

- Character
- Ven
- Dialogue
- And, if a new home wasn’t enough, there’s more. A breakthrough on a way back. We might be able to return to the Fold after all.

- Derwin
- Dialogue
- No one has to do anything they don’t want to. Our plans for further Thalloran colonies are not changing. All this means is that people will have the choice to leave if they wish.

- Dialogue
- I don’t have an answer for that yet. We are still in the early stages of figuring this out, and we are unsure about the effect of this technology on the surrounding space. We don’t want another anomaly.

- I’ve studied your calculations, and there’s one missing piece. A symbol that keeps cropping up, a cross with an upwards-facing semi circle at the bottom. A cosmological constant of some sort?

- Character
- Devon
- Dialogue
- Now, about this symbol… I’m not sure. It wouldn’t be the anchor, would it? That’s our shorthand for the mass of the ship that you intend to travel on. It needs to be accounted for in the calculations.
