We need to move. Between the energy from the Door and other concerns, we can't stay here - it's far too dangerous. Thanks to your help, we believe it's possible to use the Door to move the city rather than Fear's powers. This should be substantially easier on you.

Going back underground is still unlikely to be safe. Of the planet surfaces that we've identified as safe, there are two remaining. Sorrow mentioned them before, but I will repeat the gist of what he said, for anyone who wasn't here before - or anyone who simply didn't pay attention.

One planet is rich and lush, with enough cover from the plants and trees that we should be able to effectively hide from the Null. It is warmer and more humid than this world, if you wish for a place with a climate more amenable to your bodies. It will also provide trees, animals, and edible plants.

The other is cold and mainly devoid of life. It would also be a change of climate, but a less amenable one, rather than more. It is the first planet the Null attacked, and where we had embassies. There may still be some information there, but I can't guarantee it. In addition, it may hold dangers we aren't aware of.

These are your choices. I apologize for being unable to offer you more, but it's unlikely that any of the locations we've traveled to in the past are safe any longer.

Please make your choice.

should probably emphasize to people more susceptible to cold that you guys arent going to let them freeze to death.
also we're going to have to go there eventually, so might as well grab the intel there we can before we go.

[lingeringhope]

If people chose to leave the city or did some other foolish thing, we could not, in fact, prevent them from freezing to death if circumstances were unfavorable. Naturally I will attempt to protect all of you, but you die regularly no matter what I do. I won't make promises I may not be able to keep.

[circumitus]

not talking about the ones leaving the city. if they dont want to die of exposure then that's their own prerogative, but people are acting like they're going to freeze in their own homes or some shit and tranquility said that wouldn't be the case.
either way that logic could be applied to just about anywhere we go when people leave the city.

[lingeringhope]

Yes, it could. And as you may have noticed, because of that I am not in the practice of promising to keep all of you perfectly safe at all times.

[circumitus]

naturally.

is there anything you can say about the native wildlife on either of these planets? poisonous plants, insects, or animals to watch out for? we didnt really have to worry about shit like that back in the cave so it would be easier for you to keep people safe if we know what we're going to be dealing with.

[lingeringhope]

Within the city, you will all be safe regardless of which world we go to. I will keep any wildlife out of the city. I am afraid I do not have comprehensive summaries of what could be there, as I have never been on the surface of either world.
