The quest must go on!

@Meta

*Wide eyes you in exasperation* You are crazy!!!

<Snipped quote by Interface>

How does it relate to the nearby universe collapse? Why would you come with us when you could've investigated this much on your own? There are so many questions left unanswered for an investigation quest.

@Source

I... i wasn't supposed to, in fact if the federation finds out, i will likely be court-martialled! This is me being stupid! I'm sorry alright?!

Listen, i'm fully willing for us to go all geek mode and analyse every piece of the structure, but if the quest giver says is enough, then i'm fine with it.

@The Odeoron

@Meta

Hey... listen... i'm just scared for my and your lives. Whatever is making this atmosphere change here, is scary!

*Raises an eyebrow*
You didn't post that quest, did you?

@Source

I did post the quest, but again, it is the federation that requested the information. And from what we got thus far, i can conclude the quest completed. Well... at least as far as the federation is concerned. This is a weapon of cosmic destruction. It is built by powers that cannot be comprehended yet, and an update to the quest, after you all get paid, would be to whomever is willing to destroy this place... at least that's what they told me.

*As we ascend, the steps become shorter and more shallow, and the emerald sky begins to shrink and coalesce; in its place is no structure or color, but a visual and sensational force of warmth*

@Meta

So um... do you think we gathered enough intel to retreat? This... this doesn't feel right at all!

Ah again the pesky 'laws of every form are different from universe to universe' thing... Sure... But shouldn't there be at least some basal fundamental law that is shared, even if minimally, across worlds?

@The Odeoron

Even more confusing still *Says as we carry on advancing cautiously* @Memory

I’ll put it this way. If magic was here, they either revoked it really hard, or it’s been a long time. Or maybe there magic doesn’t leave residue.

@Meta

*Blinks through the sun glassess with evident confusion* Yeah... whatever you say, i'll take it... *I murmur to myself as i scratch the back of my head* i should have consulted with some arcane practitioner back home before i decided to engage in this exploration myself...

<Snipped quote by Interface>

Why... just... why... ? Why are you like me?

<Snipped quote by Source>

To be fair, if i had liked her a little better, perhaps we would compare notes, i know quite a lot of things about all kinds of magic... same goes for my pal Prism.

@The Odeoron

Eh.... excuse me? I thought you were some type of dark sorcerer fellow... what do you mean I'M like you... why are you claiming to be like me... man just chill for once!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

Hm...
*Gazes across the expanse*
I'm not getting residual traces of magic here. It must have been deactivated for a long time.

@Meta

*Raises an eyebrow* Do you think? I'm not versed in magics myself, i'm merely a star-fleet general versed in espionage mostly... i can tell you all about space faring tech, but magic... that is beyond me... *I sigh a confused sigh*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Interface>

Any thought on what that purpose could be?

@Source

... uh ... well Ben seems to have taken the words right out of my mouth... though i never heard of this "Art Magics" thing... the more you know i guess...

*As we continue, the depth of the starfield becomes a pastel, emerald green, full of internal refractions of light that take on the nature of sunrise*
Can’t say it isn’t pretty, at least.

@Source

Sure... but i still can't shake the feeling this is a structure built for nefarious purposes.
