Relaaaax... *I sigh as my transformation continues and my lower part of my mouth begins merging with my chest, as my head elongates ina tentacle like extension and another leg bursts forth from my left one*

You are merely an experiment for Dyklothiath!

*I say with a guttural growl as i wave away your tesseract's power and my full form begins to be revealed*

*The visible form of the staircase falls away from the two of you in triangular pieces, leaving you suspended in an infinite plane of blue sky and wispy clouds*

Not at all. Lily, analyze.

The subject appears to be a spacetime distortion and contact may result in unpredictable effects. Proceed with caution.

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

<Snipped quote by 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?!

@Interface

Haha, probably am.

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.

@Meta

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

@Interface

The quest must go on!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Interface>

I was about to suggest the same, but not because i was becoming scared... *I snicker*

<Snipped quote by Memory>

Hmm... hey... what do you think? Good enough intel for a smart retreat before it is too late type of thing?

@The Odeoron

What's your answer to the quest giver, then? What did we learn?

*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...

@Interface

*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*

*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*

@Interface

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 their magic doesn’t leave residue.

<Snipped quote by Meta>

I haven't ever practiced them, but i do know they exist, and they are a particularly potent arcane practice especially for reality corruption or alteration. And from what we have from the quest, collapsed star systems... feels like it could be. Especially this things overly artistical near ritualistic extravagance we saw thus far.

@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.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Source>

*mutters to myself* Art magics... systems in the ethereal network made to function as engines by having artistical renditions build their power... hmmm...

@The Odeoron

You think that’s what this is?
*Scans the region with my runic eyes*

I don't hate him... he hates me... for gods know why...

@Interface

Well, let's at least all pretend to get along until the quest is over.
