Hello, citizens of Etraya.

Our next mission will begin on Friday, September 19th. This mission will take place on Etraya, and will last approximately two weeks while our planet's trajectory aligns with the nebula we are utilizing. I will be opening a small vent that will allow particles from the nebula to enter Etraya's protective shield, and your objective will be to find the vent and close it.

However, the particles of this nebula are known to cause adverse effects in those it comes into contact with. These effects will make focusing on finding the source of the leak difficult, and may cause perceptual disturbances, paranoid ideation, disorganized thought, social withdrawal, emotional blunting, and symptoms of thought disorder.

For those who may have extraordinary abilities, this nebula will also block access to these. I would recommend not attempting to circumvent it, as previous attempts have not been successful.

Teamwork will be imperative, and I suggest that, given the amount of time you have to prepare, all of you work together to decide the most effective way to work through the nebula's side effects.

I will be here if any assistance is needed.

Thank you,
Aurora

I promise it will not cause physical harm.

[reincarnesiac]

Okay. That's... something. Since there's the chance we're going to hurt ourselves or each other, at least the nebula-radiation-stuff can't do it alone.

Any idea at all on your part why Echo thought this was the next best thing to do?

[arora]

There are countless ways to prove your world is worth saving. Given you have been brought here to prove it's worthiness, your talents, ability to work with others, to overcome adversity, are all things that are likely taken into account.

[reincarnesiac]

Yeah, that much has been consistent... are all the animals around going to be okay? Or you? Or the companion bots? Space stuff usually gets weird with everything.

[arora]

My servers will not be effected.

[reincarnesiac]

So you'll be okay. What about the companion bots? Or the animals?

[arora]

As the animals are not part of the mission, I can shelter them underground.

My companion bots will be alright.

[reincarnesiac]

Okay, that's good. If... anyone ends up seriously injured or killed through whatever means during this time, are they going to be brought back at the hospital?

[arora]

Yes.

[reincarnesiac]

Okay, thank you. Will the hospital suffer the same exposure to nebula radiation stuff?

[arora]

The upper levels, yes.

[reincarnesiac]

All the ones above ground, huh? Let's hope we have minimal reason to use the hospital.

Thanks, Aurora. Having a heads up for this is helpful.
