*Kneels down and runs my finger across the moon's surface*
This is the work of Artemis' dad, no doubt about it. Our family's mortal enemy.

@Legend

*Blinks*
Who… Who would that be?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*Everything within detection radius is dead and still, not even in revolution as part of a greater astral system; the relay system embedded into the moon no longer appears to function, its meager power source having been similarly prionized and depleted*
...Someone beat us here.

@Legend

You think this is the work of someone?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Woa—
*The world around us remains rather dim and still in the nonreflective purple-black surface of the prionized moon, which sports a single inward-bowing column stretching out to its now frozen-in-place planet in the distance*

@Legend

…
*Feels out the landscape for any presence, movement, or materials that stand out*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*The next world is ashy and dark, entirely devoid of all light outside of a few distant stars that manage to pierce through the cloak of space dust*
Violet? Anything you can do about the light?

@Legend

*A ball of light manifests in the air not terribly far from us as a sphere of ionized gas from the air around us, any matter passing through its radius becoming excited into a plasma which glows enough to light up the area*

Here's to adventure and totally not stress!
*Opens a portal to the next world and steps through*

@Legend

*Walks in backwards, glancing at the surroundings one last time as we leave them behind*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Alright! To the next station we go?

@Legend

Let’s check it out!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

That's what I'm looking to see...
*Continues scrolling*
Looks like there's one station logged that it got an invalid signal from, and this time the location is there.

@Legend

That’s about the best lead we’ve had, then.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Looks like other stations, mostly? A few times it's sent signals to a path too.

@Legend

But nothing anywhere on where any of that is?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*Shrugs*
I don't know how it works.
*Scrolls through the menu some more*

@Legend

Where all do you think this stations sends signals to?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

That's why it's so hard to find us. And why once I left home, there's no easy way to get back.

@Legend

I’m not going to pretend that it makes any sense for them to be scattered but still stay connected in any way, but we’ll make it work.
