All right, folks. We saw what the Null you guys are hiding said - and hey, maybe not the best idea, you know? They're kind of trying to murder us all. But as it turns out, at least some of what it said is accurate. But that doesn't mean it all is, and believe me, the Null are more than smart enough to use half-truths to mess with you - to mess with all of us.

So we're pretty divided on this, to say the least. A lot of us think it's stupid to listen to anything a Null said, since again, they're kind of trying to murder us all. But some of us are willing to try it, since you'd be on the line instead of us (not super nice, but hey) and then Hope pointed out that some of you are already trying to find ways to cross the waters and go searching.

Also probably not a great idea to do that on your own, but y'know, he's the one who'll have to resurrect you, not me.

Long story short, since our opinions are pretty divided, we figured we'd let you weigh in, and as I'm the most neutral, I get to listen.

Convince me that we should go search using the information the Null gave us, and we'll provide crafts for you to use. Or convince me it's a terrible idea, and we won't.

Man, I'm already tired just thinking about it. Not too long-winded, okay? Go.

Perhaps if you would share what part of it is untrue, we might be in a better position to make a decision that would benefit everyone. You can't expect people to make wise decisions if you hold all the cards, and then someone dangles a treat, no matter how fishy it may be.

Not really sure what you're talking about. We don't know if it's true or not, which is the issue.

[dreamsallotted]

You must have some idea. Some inkling. You're not that stupid.

I've really got to spell it out? You guys are so high maintenance.

For all anyone knows, the Null is lying about the coordinates, or about what is at those coordinates. There's absolutely no evidence that what it says is true.

And I suppose it's not in your best interests to find out. You'd risk your food source.

I never thought I'd really prefer my god over you guys. At least Thiede knows things. You're taking this ignorance is bliss thing to a whole new level.

We'd risk our lives and yours.

[dreamsallotted]

So tell me this, what is your alternative? Ignore the possibility and hide under a rock? Hope it goes away and no one pokes the sleeping bear?

In my experience, that never works well.

Do our own information-gathering and search out things that could be useful here. A lot more reliable than listening to a Null.
