Hello, citizens of Etraya.
Our next mission will begin on Friday, January 23rd.
You will be visiting a planet called Mesa for two weeks. This planet has been used as a sanctuary for countless different species, set up centuries ago by a society that no longer exists. The universe has been crumbling for some time, and Echo had to make the difficult decision to let it go. However, many of the species residing on Mesa are ones that have not been replicated across other universes, and Echo would like to preserve what they can of them.
You will be placed into teams and given assignments around the planet of DNA and items to gather. I will drop all of you off outside a facility a few of my companion bots have been working to outfit for your safety. This building has lights surrounding it, and I would like for all of you to be aware how important light is on this planet. There is no visible moon, and after the sun falls, the darkness is dangerous. Do not linger in shadows. Do not venture beyond where you are able to bring light.
Please stock up with as many survival supplies as you believe you would need for these two weeks. I will be opening the portal large enough to bring mid-sized vehicles through, so you may take with you any cars, motorcycles, chocobos, and other means of transportation.
Thank you,
Aurora

[A deep sigh. He pushes forward with the one question he has hiding behind every other one.]
Why not preserve everyone's world? Assuming the universe is an infinite expanse, shouldn't that be possible? Use this universe as a backup hard drive containing data from all the others?
[The question is an earnest one. He knows a bit about cosmology where he is from, but even there, it was a society of genius-level intellects who studied the theoretical limits of the universe. Not him. ]
Echo's universe could be the seed for a new Imaginary Tree.

Are we really supposed to selfishly represent our own worlds instead of all worlds?
[He doesn't bother to hide the note of disappointment in his voice. When he learned they were gathering genetic data, he'd hoped that maybe many worlds could be saved. Maybe all of them, incubated in whatever possible space Etraya exists in. And from them, a new branching universe could be born from oblivion.
A sweeter one.
Overlooked not by Echo, but by him. Why settle for one star system or even one universe if he could sweep all creation, known and unknown, against his heart and give a life of peace?
A dream dashed before he could even begin to crystallize it.]
I want to save my world. But I also want to save everyone else's.
[He pauses, thinks, then laughs bitterly.]
Forgive me, Miss Aurora. These are probably heavier questions than even a computer wants to deal with when just giving us mission objectives.
