I hope everyone got back safely. Things--ah--got a bit intense while we were down there, and I don't think I really understand what happened. We all saw some things, things that some of us weren't prepared for.

The Gods were testing us. They wanted us to see those things. Past humanity's hubris. They wanted to see how we would react.

We should remember this, and how we reacted. Whether or not we thought it was the right thing to do in hindsight, this is the impression we've left, for better or for worse.

I hope we did the right thing.

[ladyofluminosity]

[hallacious]

[He blinks and wonders whether or not it's a compliment or not, but he decides to take it in good faith.]

Thank you! I do wish it was more widespread a practice, however.
