“Our Source Stones are unique to us. I think I’d need to be in closer proximity to the crystals to get a better reading. A sample would be best, but I won’t ask that of you.

They are capable of a great deal more, but it boils down to that most.”

“I hail from Velencya. It is a synthetic world. My homeworld of Velenia was destroyed long ago, so Velencya is all that remains.” For now. “It is predominantly self-sustaining, but the universe is always changing so we need to be prepared for the future. An unexpected failure could be catastrophic for my people. I won’t put them through any more suffering if I can help it, so I hope you’ll forgive my curiosity. I am always looking for ways to enhance our processes. Earth could benefit from some of our technology, they succeed in many ways but fall short in others. I don’t know how invested you are in their well-being, but perhaps we could arrange something some time. Maybe there’s something we could do to help you with Solaris, too.”
