[Hands at his knees, his fingers flex slightly. Given the Singularity's the very reason why Thorne summoned people from other worlds and realities, it makes sense it's a constant hot topic of debate and discussion in these halls. Stephen is never hesitant to grant information to those who ask — it's necessary to perpetuate awareness, so everyone can make the right decisions moving forward.]

I mean that the Summoned are connected to it in ways that the natives here aren't. We are the only ones who can physically approach the Singularity without consequences. And there are people here who have died in their own worlds, and the power of the monolith is all that can explain their living presence now.

[There's plenty they still cannot be sure about, but there is no doubt: all signs point to the Summoned sharing an entwined fate with the Singularity, for better or worse.]

It also means there are places we can visit that others can't. Places where factional dividing lines don't matter nearly as much.

[Where one can find the other Summoned, beyond Thornean territory.]
