You don't want to interrupt with unconfirmed information. You decide to do some investigating on your own before you say anything more about Skaia's apparent importance and possible disappearance.

You keep half an eye on the group chat while you begin your investigation.

VA: I already found one flower gate but it just took me back to my house.
VA: speaking of which: alchemy.
CC: ooh
VA: so I found these two first moults stuck down a hole. or maybe they're some kind of species with only two arms idk.
VA: anyway when I got them out they followed me back to my house through a flower gate aka a return node and set up shop in one of the abandoned buildings next to my house. thanks to pnimm for fixing it up btw.
AA: *Bows*
CC: theyre a species with 2 arms every1 looks like that here
VA: oh ok.
VA: they're alchemists, which means if you give them some captchalogued items and some grist they can somehow combine them into a new item. which is how I have a shiny new computer that is literally on a sheet of paper and I can just fold it up and put it in my pocket. magic rules.
CV: And you retained possession of the original items?
VA: yeah yuwen I "retained possession" of them. my desktop's fine.
VA: anyway I think one of the main things you do in this game is go around looking for people who can come live at your base and give you upgrades and stuff.
AA: That's really cool! I'll keep an eye out once I start exploring
AA: I seriously have to go to sleep though, I've been involved in four different life-or-death situations in the last four hours and I'm feeling the adrenaline crash now
AA: I'll see you guys later
CC: see if u can wake up!!!
AA: Like, contact you while I'm sleeping?
CV: According to my sprite, we each have a dreaming self and a waking self. I suppose that when one sleeps, the other wakes. It wasn't able to tell me why Kuviu's dreaming self has been awake for so long already, though.
AA: Aw what, you and Ku can both understand your sprites?
CV: They're intended to be guides, why wouldn't you be able to understand them?
AA: Mine talks in code cause I prototyped my perplexity contrivance poster }:(
VA: idt mine talks but it did push me off a cliff.
AA: Suddenly I feel better about Perplexity Sprite now
CV: You were going to sleep, weren't you, Pnimm?
AA: Right yeah I'll try to wake up my dreaming self, see you

-- animatedArthropology [AA] disconnected. --

VA: I don't have a ton of grist left so I can't do as much alchemy as I want. I think I'll have to go kill more weird fleas. ugh it's going to be such a pain to get all the way back down there though. I really hope there's a fast travel system in this eventually.
VA: I guess ku can't explore his myd but you should yuwen.
CV: I will, after I do a little research. Speaking of which, Kuviu, you might be able to help me.
CC: >:D
CV: Is there anything you can do to locate where Skaia is, perhaps establishing some kind of coordinate system for later use?
VA: do you say this stuff just to make me mad.
CV: I have no idea what you're talking about.
CC: i can fly up to the void and check things out! ill let you know what i find!
VA: you can FLY?
CC: of course >:)
