Is everyone all right?

I think it's safe to say that this changes things considerably.

I doubt it. Most likely, a group unknown to us is behind this.

[This isn't really the time to mention his thoughts about someone from the coven helping the Palai develop weapons of war.]

[needmetoo]

So... someone else on this world? But... the Palai haven't mentioned anybody like that, have they?

[She's forgetting the obvious.]

[rebells]

There are places the Palai can't go.

[And yes, it could be one of them, but he's not about to bring that up, if she won't.]

[needmetoo]

Like... the island. You think there could be people up there, watching over the Palai?

[The Palai would probably think so, given the stuff that always ends up falling from the surface.]

[rebells]

That's my current theory. But who knows?

[needmetoo]

Well, I guess... we'll have to go find out.

[Break the barrier and meet whoever is on the island.]

[rebells]

Hopefully, if I'm correct, there'll be some sort of clue as to what caused this.
