[After pondering what the hell any of that had to do with her first point, she gets it.] I get it. I guess being here's like a cage for a lot of people. Even if the bars aren't noticeable, you're still not free to leave or return to your home.

[ You get it! You win a cookie! <3 ]

Correct. Do you not think the same of this place?

[youandoblivion]

Nah, as a scientist, it's just one more problem that needs a solution. I've been dedicating every spare moment since I got here to trying to get us all back where we belong before we upset the time streams of hundreds of dimensions and cause a pandimensional collapse.

oOp, missed the tag! Sorry!

[notamare]

Then have you learned anything of this place in that regard?

It's okay! <333

[youandoblivion]

Nooot a thing.

<3

[notamare]

You are not discouraged by this?

[youandoblivion]

Nope! In fact, it just makes me want to find the answers more. It's been a long time since I had a puzzle that was actually challenging.

[notamare]

Do you truly think yourself capable of discovering the secrets of the Core, when others have failed?

I wish you luck, if that is true.

[youandoblivion]

I'm only the greatest scientific mind in the galaxy. If I can't do it, no one can.

[notamare]

There was another who claimed such in this place, before the Core sent him away. Do you know of him? I believe he called himself Urahara.

[youandoblivion]

Never heard of 'em. Guess that makes him a liar, now doesn't it?

[notamare]

Perhaps. It is just as possible he hails from a plane of existence unknown to you.

[youandoblivion]

Maybe. The Core's brought together a lot of dimensions that had no business interacting and yet here we are.

[notamare]

What is your ... dimension... like then?

[youandoblivion]

Weeeell. It's not that much different from this one as far as terraforming goes, but outside of Earth, there's all kinds of other planets housing billions of other lifeforms, all of them with far more advanced technology and culture. But the port seems as cut off from other planets as it is from the rest of the earth. If I had contact with Jurai or the Space Academy still, I could get things done a lot faster.

[notamare]

Perhaps that is the purpose of this land being so isolated. People such as yourself will find it nigh impossible to create a means of breaking free and permitting others to return home.
