Your information will be the most accurate and up to date if you head to Glask. I'd go there to find out everything you need. The closest thing to a war effort have to deal with is the trouble in Vatrove. But that's an ant of a problem compared to what you're jumping into.

@Unhinged

It's okay. We're used to it.

*Smiles slightly and looks down*
An honorable reason.

@Unhinged

Now we need whatever information you can give us about it.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

You don't have to if you don't want to. You don't seem to want to. This is a personal decision.

@Unhinged

I know. But I'm not about to be a lame duck while he puts himself into danger.

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

It may not be what they want, but I'm not the kind to let my fate helplessly rest in the hands of others. I have military experience, and I have extensive combat experience. I'm going to this "Dead Stretch".

@Armed Forces

*Smiles sadly*
Thought so.
*Stands up*
I'll go too.

*Breaks my long-winded silence*
I don't know about you, but I refuse the deal.

@Armed Forces

To the alternative of?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

There are a lot of factors that have weighed into my decision. Including how pointless any punishment for you would be.

@Unhinged

Well, uh, thanks. That's taxpayer money, I guess.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

I don't know why it seems that your expectations of us seem so low, but I hope that I'm at least raising them a bit. Now, is this offer acceptable?

@Unhinged

Being told that what you did is worse than murder causes you to prepare yourself for some pretty bad scenarios. But I guess it really is Curtis' call.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

No, I'd never send in civilians to such a dangerous situation! I was going to recommend that you find a place to stay here until our forces handle it, then we'll send you home once everything is straightened out. We'll help you out financially so that you aren't struggling in what must be a strange, foreign world to you.

@Unhinged

That's... much kinder than I had expected.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

You've heard of it already? Concern is spreading quickly... Anyways, yes. It essentially kicked us out of a research facility we had established in what is now known as the Dead Stretch, quite a ways south of here. Among other important things, the final pieces and bits of research were lost there, as no one was capable of returning from the mainland there safely.

@Unhinged

So you want us to liberate it to get home.

*Looks at you, seemingly not understanding*

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

It's more complicated than that. There is a single place here on To Proto Vima where we have dedicated loads of time, space, resources and effort into developing the perfect means of stealthy portal opening to nearly wherever we choose. It is almost in its completed stage, but certain issues left us unable to complete it.

@Unhinged

The corruption?
