I know there's been some debate about the identity of the former crewmate. Chief of Staff Emerton Haughtford is the former Ximilia crew member. I believe this is important information to give us context for what we're dealing with here, but that doesn't mean any of us should disrespect Viveca's wishes and attempt to tell Emerton about his past. Without his memory, it'll probably do both him and our mission more harm than good.

So, then...it will be truly as if our regret never happened, at least for us.

[It's a strange thought. He has lived with his regret nearly as long as he has been alive to begin with -- it's hard to imagine who he would even be now, if the Fall had never happened. Some part of him feels a twinge of (possibly irrational) guilt at the notion of forgetting his grief over Rem, but it's nothing placed next to saving her life.]

I didn't realize the orbs had all been united before. Do you know what happened to them?

I've never asked. It may have been information given to the crew before my time, or it's possible it's remained private. [He says "private" rather than "secret" because whatever went wrong, he's sure it gets personal for Viveca and Degar fast. If it were important to know, he trusts that they would share, and maybe they will with time. Or maybe he'll ask Viveca one day.]

sorry for the delay! just escaped Dissertation

That makes sense. There must be a reason it hasn't come up, too, it's just...I'm sure none of us would want our own homes to be in danger without our knowledge when we leave here. If there's a way to prevent a repeat, I'd like to help.
