Thank you for retrieving the fragments of the Door. It seems that the rogue Null's information was somewhat accurate after all- though judging by some of the encounters with Null scouts, I believe it would be irresponsible to rule out any attempt at foul play on its behalf.

With the new fragments, I can experiment with making the Door more complete and responsive to complex tasks. As it is now, the monthly fluctuations are very chaotic and noisy- they bring in various people from different worlds, but also monsters, objects... and it releases a massive energy signature, which is why we have needed to relocate constantly since activating it.

My goal is to not only reduce these energy fluctuations, but also give me more control over the Door- who it brings in, what it brings in, and... yes, eventually finding a way to send all of you home or to a neutral place when this is over. With any luck, I can put in a failsafe, so that if we become overrun with no hope of survival, then I can send all of you away in a moment.

Finally, I may be able to use the Door to move the city instead of relying on Fear's power- this way, we can avoid any incomplete transfers and be able to move the city without the Null, even if the Null are invading.

To accomplish all of this, I need the fragments that have been collected. You may leave them at my temple.

Oh so you're one of these so called 'gods' everyone's been talking about. What if we possess our own means and methods of traveling through space? A space bridge would be far more useful than this door of yours, I can guarantee it. But building it is the hard part.

[ Though he really hates helping anyone but this also helps himself so he's fine with it. ]

But forcing people to hand over these fragments will be...easy, if it needs to be done.

[ He has no qualms about bullying humans so you know he's in with the crowd of forking over fragments. ]

I highly doubt you'd find the materials to build such a thing here.

I could take them by force if I wished- I choose instead to respect our alliance. What you do amongst yourselves is of little concern to me.

[aka: go ahead, bud.]

But it can be supplied, can it not? If you're able to stock up food, then materials to build something wouldn't be hard either, would it?

Having a...fail safe in case this door business doesn't quite pan out would definitely be to your benefit. After all who is everyone to blame should it not work out but you. I only suggest thinking about it, after all you seem to have a lot on your plate. And my offer doesn't affect one's mind, perfectly safe, in terms of one's mental state.

[ Unless it blows up then it's a really big explosion and pretty bad but details! But either way he'll try to get the fragments just to be sure. He doesn't want to be stuck on this planet either. ]

You could take them by force, but having people do your dirty work is much easier. A choice which I can respect. If you ever feel so inclined to think about my offer...well I'm sure you know where to find me.

[ He's just sucking up now, or is he?! It's always good to make good with those in power. ]

Not necessarily. It depends on how much energy it costs to procure, and we would need payment.

I'll consider it.

But of course. I wouldn't expect it to be easy. But I'm sure you could manage to get a few pieces that would be needed.

Well I'm glad to hear it.

[ Even if it's just a consideration. That means his idea isn't too outlandish. ]
