Right, that was enough excitement for one mission. Does anyone know why Viveca didn't teleport us out as soon as someone took the orb, like what happened last time? Or was it that Cheri- or Ruvia or whoever she really was- needed to give up ownership, and stealing it wasn't enough?

[If that's the case, they'll need to be ready to bargain and persuade on future missions, rather than hope that whoever they steal it from simply gives up hope of regaining the Orb.]

If anyone's injured- I know how to heal. You might need a few days of rest to make sure you don't disrupt the spells, but you'll mend more quickly than you would have otherwise. And if you're one of my students, feel free to come to the infirmary to help.

And- Apparently the Commander is real, and on the station. But what he said about the Orb growing vicious... are they shaped by the bargains they make, and the people that use them?

[It looked different from the Gyeonje Orb too, red instead of golden.]

We don't know exactly what kind of bargain she made, do we? [Bits and pieces of the effects, but what was it she really asked for? Immortality? Power? Whatever has cost her family.]

[That's a really fucked up bargain.] Do you think she... intended it to give her power that way? Absorbing it from others?

[Syrlya hums, not really disagreeing.] Then we're lucky she had something more important than power, given how far she was willing to use it on others.

[He wouldn't say many who achieve power like that would give it up so easily.]
