Who built this? What is the 'design'? Why is this all here?

It doesn't make any sense, but we're not going to get any more answers now.

We certainly don't have any way of getting to the command system.

I remember hearing Ion was trying to work on getting to orbit though.
K'Sarian

I think so. That would be a question for the science caste, though.
Sky

They'd know much more about how it was progressing than I would.

I can think of a number of very curious Fennic who would love to get down here and try to figure all of this out.
K'Sarian

After this is over, I'm sure President Gearheart and the new Felishon government would be able to work something out.
K'Sarian

We probably should begin to make our way back towards the surface, though.
K'Sarian

◄
So what did we learn here?
K'Sarian
►
◄
Well, there seem to be a system of... machines? Controlling some aspects of Alastere.
Sky
►
◄
We don't know who built them, but they seemed to have some sort of plan for us.
Sky
►
◄
The thing that confuses me is how it spoke of Alastere as 'Planet 2'.
Sky
►
◄
Yeah. There's 3 planets at least that I know of, and we're the closest to the sun.
K'Sarian
►
◄
Outward, there's Alastere, Riso, and Vennade. I'd think Riso would be Planet 2 in any counting formation. Making Alastere Planet 1.

Is is possible we're actually the second planet outward? There's some planet we haven't seen?
Sky

Lunism is largely based in astronomy, though. The 12 guardians come to mind. If astronomers saw the 12 guardians of the sun, how'd they miss an entire planet?
K'Sarian
►
◄
That's what bothers me about all this.
Sky
►
◄
Well, not the only thing bothering me, I guess. But definitely one thing that's big to me.
Sky
►
◄
The 12 guardians are much too close to the sun to be a viable planet.
Sky
►
◄
Maybe... there was another planet between us and the sun, whenever that machine was made. Whenever the 'design' was started.
Sky
►
◄
A missing planet? How does an entire planet just... disappear?
K'Sarian
►
◄
There's more leads off this we need to figure out some way of persuing. When I get back to Ion after this, maybe I can get access to some ancient astronomy records.
Sky
►
◄
But for now, we need to get out of here, and get back to the surface, and reconnect with Dia and the rest.

Like it or not, this mystery remains buried, for now.
