1 OENO: This research station has been established to study the spacial distortions located within ]]>Dark Bramble]]>. 2 1 CYCAD: Our clan has spent far too long ignoring this place as a result of the tragedy that occurred here. 3 1 OENO: I am pleased to report that our research is progressing rapidly! We have determined that the space within ]]>Dark Bramble]]> is distorted to an impossible degree. This space cannot possibly exist within a single location. 4 3 CYCAD: Hypothesis: when an object, or entity, enters ]]>Dark Bramble]]>, the interior manifests elsewhere within a pocket of space linked to this one. This manifestation would exert a repelling force on objects in its surroundings even when unoccupied. 5 4 OENO: By studying the sky after an object has entered ]]>Dark Bramble]]>, we believe we have located the space the interior occupies. Coleus informs us that the phenomenon is most unsettling to observe. 6 5 CYCAD: This phenomenon may prove to have untapped comical potential. I am eager to observe the reactions of Lami, Laevi, and Taget (the children) upon first sighting of the eclipse. 7 5 OENO: Update: The eclipse has vanished after several hours of observation. Perhaps it only manifest briefly as the planet absorbs any new objects that enter it? This is an unsettling possibility. 8 7 CYCAD: The ]]>comet]]> Spire detected is entering the system! Oeno and I will be rejoining the rest of our clan to await news from the expedition team. Further exploration of this phenomenon must wait for a subsequent time. codex_bramble_research 5
