DISPLAYING MESSAGE

My concern is not necessarily to the Crayterians and what they will or will not be able to handle if something overwhelming can pour from the gate.

My concerns is to our safety. If the Republic falls without a chance or they are severely hampered by... whatever might happen from the consequence of meddling with the gate, we can be next. I do not oppose progress, but it's too close to home, In my opinion and I can't just.. go with it like that.

I will redirect this to the Directorate and see what the others say.

If this site would've been located in the far reaches of the Sector, I couldn't care entirely of what might be coming through. Or maybe it won't, we wouldn't know. But it's too close to us. I hope you understand my concern and my hesitation. As a scientist, you wouldn't need to tell me twice to come and even study this with you.

Rudimentary creatures of blood and flesh, you touch my mind, fumbling in ignorance, incapable of understanding.
