So here's the thing…

We have a lot of work left to do. Those of you who ventured down below got a taste of what we're looking at and hopefully that means we can make better preparations. I'm working on opening a new portal based on your energy readings and getting it to stabilize itself so you aren't stuck down there longer than you have to be. May take a few days, but I'm hoping to get a map drawn up, too.

How many of you have been out to Magatus? You might wanna compare notes…the influence started spreading even further. It's better to bring everything and everyone out there back to the city where we can put up forcefields and I can monitor from here.

So what am I saying? I need two teams, a rescue team and an exploration team. Take some time to decide, figure out your skills, organize and arm yourselves. Assignments will go out when you're ready, and when I'm ready.

Oh yeah…and if you're interested in working for me directly? Send me your résumé.

i'm still getting used to the memories so it'll probably take awhile
not like i'm complaining
all this shit is pretty exciting
probably not the best response to it but better than being mad about it!

it's a healthier response than having an existential meltdown at the very least

and in a way, it is kind of exciting. past lives, destroyed worlds, superpowers and magic...

see you get me!
all of it sounds pretty cool
though not all of it will be of course
but it's pretty exciting to get to experience something as crazy as all of this!

well, i did the existential meltdown thing and so did a lot of people, and in hindsight it accomplished nothing. so kudos for just skipping that phase.

it is certainly a unique experience.

who knows maybe it'll happen to me later on
i could be doing things out of order!
here's hoping i'm not though and i really did skip it

oh i'd definitely advocate for skipping that step altogether
there are much better things to do with your time
like have a nice cup of coffee or read an interesting book.

definitely!
i'll try to avoid it but i guess we'll have to see how it goes!

how has the memory part of things gone so far?

mostly i've just remembered random stuff
like a series of tunnels or an angel cat
i don't really know anything about who i was or what i was doing

an angel cat? so it had wings?

it can take a while for any context to really develop. it was probably five months before i was able to start understanding why my past self did what he did.

no wings but she's called a malakhim

five months huh?
i guess i'll wait patiently until things start making sense
it'd be good to remember a bit more but i guess it's just slow going for now!

huh. sounds like your memories are going to be interesting. and by interesting, i mean weird. and i hope it's weird in a good way.
