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.

We don't, they've done it before in the past, and that's not a question about the missions, that's a question about the orbs and their capabilities.

The orbs are the focus of all our missions. Asking after them is asking about what we're facing when we go out.

You asked what they were capable of doing now. But fine. They're the goal of every mission. Can't deny that. The whole point we're here is to get them though so unless you have a better way of getting our regrets undone, there's not much to be done but gather them all and bring them back here.

Supposedly the station has been modified and upgraded in ways that should prevent them from using their immense power on us before we gather them all in one place. Degar further reinforced it a few months back with the help of the current residents at the time.

Magic isn't my strong suit (that would be CQC) though so there's not much more I can tell you about them other than that they're powerful (obviously) and they hurt like a son of a bitch if you get zapped by one (personal experience). I don't recommend it.

You can read more about what kinds of deals they've made and what they're capable by reading the mission files in detail. Let's just say I wouldn't rule anything out at this point in time.

I've been reading them, which is why I'm concerned. But frankly, I don't have any reason not to trust that this station can hold them, if no one's gone crazy and tried to release them all on us yet.

Well, no one on this team so far anyway.
