* Anan invited everyone to Osiga in system #78961112094711 for a festival. While there we had the opportunity to hear from ministry representative Ten-Nank. Information will be incoming in greater detail about the Ministry, but they also told me that making my world void-active would require diplomacy and bureaucratic work. (source: train, Osiga, Orchestra 21)
Hypothesis: I need to find out how to make my world void-active. I suspect it may not be that difficult, but I also suspect most people won’t be able to tell me, or won’t tell me. I’ll have to seek out as many sources as possible.
* The cooperation with the Ministry begins truly in earnest Poi day 5, as we’re now being recruited on their missions. I’m not sure the Ministry is much more trustworthy than the train itself, but outside of using caution and fact-checking what we get, I wouldn’t advise not to follow them. They clearly have more information than we do. Fortunately we’ve been cleared of being unwilling criminals.
* Disaster struck Poi 21 in an attempt to go home. I’ll write my testimony on a different page about that, if nothing else than to preserve the information about my world. This had a ripple effect of sorts. Voidtears and voidblobs appeared on system #5739. Coincidentally, we’ve been there before. I was under the impression we couldn’t go back to places we’d been. It’s unclear exactly what the train did to conduct the experiment but it sounds possible that it caused damage to the void. (source: Quicksand 7 mission)
The answers are mostly satisfactory. It highlighted the restriction to the engine room meaning that a proper captain was needed to gain access, so I asked about the process of becoming a voidcaptain for the sole purpose of gaining access to assist with our mysteries. I just want access temporarily. The train has informed me there’s no way to do that, no test I can write offhand. I may investigate that further.
* On Quicksand 19, Lia Nine contacted the Voidtrecker Express. Lia Nine confirmed that what I know about the void is true, if succinct. She likened traveling to skimming across the surface of the void, and likened the voidtears to dragging someone through it. I reported my personal account of the attempt to return home, and my exploration of the homes of others, for her data sets, including all of the restrictions. I requested of her some books on becoming void active, studying to be a voidcaptain and developing voidtravel.
Lia Nine’s job consists of monitoring the void for anomalies and disturbances. They also work carefully with void nexus worlds or void hubs, making sure the void activity does not grow too dangerous for those living there. They also assist those who are displaced through void activity.
It should be noted that she admitted our actions have turned many void theories on their heads and that’s exhilarating, is it not? The initial outburst also appears to be stable. Our worlds appear to no longer be affected by the void itself.
Notably, this is relieving because the colours and strange impressions in my world were disturbing and unsettling, as well as completely out of the ordinary. I have no desire to see my world swallowed up by the void. Lia Nine reports to commander Orlaith, which means much of this is under their purview as well, most likely, which correlates to the other information we have on the Ministry. This friendly tone and interaction don’t make me feel any better about whether or not they’re trustworthy. The data points require more research and thoughts.
I’ve been thinking about the problem surrounding the train’s missing time and data and I have a few ideas about how to get that information.
If the train will not let us come to see it, let’s see if we can get it to give us the data we need.
