Good afternoon, Ximilia Station.

By now I've had some time to get accustomed to the situation here and what we're expected to be doing, but there's still a lot left unanswered. However, I don't want to wear someone out with too many questions, so I've decided to try something different. Anyone who responds to this post, I'll ask one question I have about life here, our missions, or our purpose.

Thank you in advance for helping out.

Go ahead.

Which one of the five was the hardest to deal with?

[drawsblood]

The last one. It wasn't an official mission but we ended up trapped in the past and the orb shattered into pieces. We had to collect them but whenever we did it showed our memories to anyone else in the area. Things I haven't wanted anyone to know came to light.

Other than that, a world was destroyed by an asteroid before we had gotten all the people transported away.

[it makes them wonder, if they had gotten here earlier, could they have done that? could it have unlocked things, at the cost of showing them to others? it helps that this is text, and the thoughts they're having can be deleted before the feed sends them out.]

Sorry to hear that. I'm sure you guys did the best you could.

[casualties are inevitable, even in the best of times.]

It was down to the last moment before we transported back to the station. There was nothing else we could do.

Sometimes, that's the case.

[it sounds so cold, in text like that. but it's a fact of life that had been thrown directly in their fact multiple times by now. Ava, Yuri, Effie, Saude...the most they could do was keep heading towards the mission's end.

still, it tugs on them.]

Did any of them get away, in the end?

[ Joric doesn't mind the tone that comes through via text. His is always blunt. ]

Yes. Of those who wished to leave, we evacuated a great deal with the mages' use of portals.

[ To him, everyone who has magic is a mage, regardless of what they call themselves. ]

Glad to hear it.

[saving someone is better than saving no one at all.]

[drawsblood]

Yes. The crew tries to do good where we can. Of course the main goal is retrieving the orb, but on that mission some focused just on evacuation plans.

That's the benefit of such a large team, multitasking.

Thank you for all your answers.

[drawsblood]

Not a problem. We should all be as prepared as we can.
