Dialogue
Previously...

«Scene: The Order crash site near Mount Thrall.»

Hollow: Hello, Gaiden, Ryuusei, «You».

Hollow: I understand you want me to use Order technology to help rescue Twain...

Hollow: It is only because Galrick and Lkeas are asking that I am even considering it. Twain had my son attacked with the Cold, and nearly cost him everything...

Galrick: Daniel survived, though...

Lkeas: I do not think that matters, Galrick.

Hollow: Of course not. The mere suggestion makes me want-- *sigh* If Jess got wind of the fact that I was trying to use the D.E.N.N.I.E. Phantom to save Twain of all people...

«You»: The Deni Phantom?

Galrick: A bit of technology The Hollow is working on with Vince. Trying to augment future technology with Magitech. The Phantom is a ship, a small one.

«You»: So what's Deni?

Hollow: Not Deny, not Deni, but D.E.N.N.I.E. Phantom. It has to do with the engine. Digital Elliptical Narrow Navigation in Etherspace.

Galrick: Rather than travelling through space like the Alteon, or the Void like the Network Void ships, among other things, the Phantom travels through a fictional construct called Etherspace.

«You»: Wait, it travels through a fictional construct? How's that work?

Galrick: Very improbably...

«You»: Right.

Hollow: It is not quite fictional. Etherspace is a mental projection created in the Astral Plane and maintained by the collective minds of all that travel that plane.

Hollow: You can get between any two points in the physical realm through etherspace.

«You»: But...

Hollow: But it won't be at all easy. There is no telling what we will encounter.

«You»: Why didn't I just ask Falerin again?

Lkeas: Do you really think it would have been easier to deal with the Loremaster?

«You»: Point.

Hollow: Give us a few days to stock the ship and run some last tests... then let's all meet on the Launch Pad near K'eld Alorin on Vandar.

«You»: Very well. Thank you, Hollow.

Hollow nods.

«New Scene: The Launch Pad. A ship is taking off.»

Hollow: Are we ready?

Gaiden Cartwright: That is a loaded question.

Ryuusei Cartwright: No, but that does not matter. Time to move on.

«You»: Right, ready as I will ever be...

Lkeas: All aboard and accounted for.

Hollow: Terul'sith—engine status?

Terul'sith: D.E.N.N.I.E. online. Activate Lucigenesis Wave.

Galrick: Advanced Lucigenesis Device integration at 100%.

Celestra: Shields are holding.

«The Phantom begins to shake and smoke.»

Hollow: Launch in 10... 9... 8...

Hollow: 7... 6... 5...

Hollow: 4... 3... 2... 1!

Terul'sith: We have Lucigenesis...

''The Phantom flies over the ocean as the sun sets. It reaches Battleon, and then the Scene suddenly changes''.

«New Scene: The Nightmare Realm.»

Galrick: Nightmare Realm achieved, preparing for Etherspace entry...

Celestra: Shields down! We have incoming...

«Scene: Inside the Phantom, near its shield generators. The invaders have been defeated.»

«You»: I think that's the last of them. Huntress, did you get the shields back up?

Celestra: Trying... Terul'sith, can you reboot the shield generator?

Terul'sith: I think it needs a corrective tap. Hold on.

Terul'sith gives the generator a shove.

Celestra: Shield generators online... shields holding.

Hollow: (over intercom) Prepare to Jump to Etherspace.

Scene zooms out to show the Phantom traveling, preparing to Jump.

Galrick: Etherspace entry in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...

''The Phantom arrives in Etherspace. Scene shows the interior of the bridge''.

Hollow: Welcome to Etherspace.

«You»: Just like I never dreamed it would be...

Lkeas: Funny, it's exactly as I envisioned it would not be...

Galrick: Transit Ellipse has been set to the Kresh Nebula.

Hollow: Engage.

The Phantom continues its travel.

«New Scene: Elsewhere, a strangely colored Nightmare Rook speaks to a silhouetted figure.»

Ascended Nightmare Rook: Lord, we have an incursion...

???: Your queen is getting more daring? How droll.

Ascended Nightmare Rook: No, my lord. This incursion comes from beyond the Nightmare Realm. The technology is unlike any I have ever seen.

???: I have tracked it.

???: Primitive... but potent. Magic and Technology combined. What is the origin of this vessel?

Ascended Nightmare Rook: If I were to venture a guess, I would say Lore is the most likely origin multiverse.

???: Aye. That seems likely. The ship's trajectory suggests a return to that multiverse, though outside the Lorian sector.

???: Well, Lorian interlopers... you and your world are about to learn who rules the Etherspace. Prepare to take Lore out of spacetime...

Ascended Nightmare Rook: Ready, Lord Etherseid.

Lord Etherseid comes into full color and focus.

Lord Etherseid: You have messed with the wrong NightMare. Do it.

A screen falls downward, showing the removal of planet Lore from spacetime.
