You must have only recently arrived. My apologies, but returning to your own star is complicated and, at present, random.

It is said travel is maintained by a relic many here seek in order to control the event, but it has thus far proven elusive. In the meantime, you are among a great number who share your sentiment.

Well-met. I am Dion.

[encoreinthedeep]

You may call me a Hunter.

[ He isn't keen on giving out his name to people, but they do need something to refer to him. ]

Direct me to the hub for coordinating information and efforts towards locating this relic.

[haveaflare]

Very well, Hunter. You are welcome to call me Dion.

There is no hub. In truth, it is the goal of several crews gathered here, my own being no exception. If you are interested in joining our efforts, I would urge you to contact Lady Benedikta.

[encoreinthedeep]

Why haven't you established a platform to share the knowledge gained?

[ He will think about the whole "joining" someone thing later. ]

[haveaflare]

It is my understanding there is little and less truly known, though I have only arrived within the last several moons. There are others with more history with this star who might provide you more information. Forgive my lack of a report.

That being said, there is no ready means of escape and I would urge you instead to focus on acclimating yourself to this star. Your choice of action, of course, is your own.

[encoreinthedeep]

Understood.

[ Acclimating himself... what for? No, apart from returning home he sees no point in doing anything else here.

(Not yet, that is.) ]

Who are those more familiar with this world?

[haveaflare]

There are several, but I would suggest you begin with Lady Benedikta. A word of caution, though: she does not abide rudeness.

[encoreinthedeep]

You find me to be rude?

[ WONDER WHY, ULPI. ]
