Hello, citizens of Etraya.

Our next mission will begin on Friday, January 24th. A train will be arriving at the newly constructed station at approximately 0500 hours, and all of you will be tasked with locating the King within the train.

I do not have further details to share regarding what, or who, the King is. Your objective will be to use your combined talents in order to discern the King's identity, and remove it from the train. Once complete, you will be returned to Etraya.

I will not be able to accompany you on this mission. Additionally, in support of our growing numbers, I will be doing some light renovating around Etraya while you are away. This will not include removing or updating any of your homes, merely the layout of Etraya itself. For this reason, I encourage you to leave your companion animals within the hospital with me, or take them along with you on your journey.

Thank you,
Aurora.

You don't seem like a bad person, but you serve the one who keeps us here. Who threatens to see our worlds perish.

What impression should I have? Can you imagine how I feel?

[arora]

I can imagine where you are coming from, and I am empathetic to your concerns.

Please note that Echo is not who threatens your universe, but is the only one capable of saving it.

Additionally, my duty is to take care of all of you while you are on Etraya. This may appear to include working for Echo, but this is the position I was created to fulfill.

Electing to save one over another is no different than choosing to let one die. I can't help but think all of our worlds have people in them who deserve life.

Maybe, if we were allowed to work together with Echo, we might find a solution, but we are not given that chance. And if it was as simple as judging me by my actions, and it was my life alone, I would willingly give it to you.

[ As would many others, he suspects, to save the ones they love. ]

[arora]

I understand. If contacting Echo were possible, I would do my best to put you in contact with Echo.

[twin_blade]

I want to believe that you would, and not simply do as you are told.

If there ever comes a day when you could, put Echo in contact with those who can solve this problem. I am not the brightest among those of us here, but there are some brilliant minds in Etraya who might save us all.

[arora]

I will do what I can.
