+Excellent news! Another peaceful implement to employ in our journey has been discovered. I've scanned the info cache and integrated the schematics for the Platform to your build menu. the platform can be built outside of the buildable areas. This will allow us to cross distance and talk more intimately! You need large quantities of Liftic to build the platforms. Also be sure to protect them from accidental exposure to Creeper, they are very fragile.

+**Dr. Seloi**\\
+The land creeps now?!?
+**Hippie**
+I see our opportunities for dialogue have increased. The others have prepared this world well! We may not leave.... Rift space is inaccessible. We can thank a large and rather unstable neutron reactor to the west. Now before you think harsh thoughts, consider the lilies, how they grow!
+**Dr. Seloi**\\
+Consider the lilies, Hip?
+I don't think lilies will grow next to an UNSTABLE NEUTRON REACTOR.
+**Sarge**\\
+THE FLOWERED ONE IS CORRECT. THREAT ASSESSMENT UPDATED. UNSTABLE NEUTRON REACTOR PRESENT. ACCESS TO RIFT SPACE IS BLOCKED. ONLY OPTION IS DESTRUCTION OF NEUTRON REACTOR. COMPLICATION: NEUTRON BURST DEADLY TO ALL BIOLOGICAL FORMS. HOFSTADTER-MOBIUS LOOP INN OPERATIONAL LOGIC.

+**Dr. Seloi**\\
+Oh, it isn't just the lilies that won't grow...
+**Preacher**\\
+All is as should. How can thys be? Neutron reactor and death of Danu Seloi can not be!
+**Dr. Seloi**\\
+I agree Preacher. Danu and death should not be...
+**A.D.A**\\
+Dr. Seloi, I can confirm the presence of a neutron reactor that is blocking access to rift space. I can also confirm that the reactor is close to critical and any disturbance will cause it to release a neutron burst. The resulting burst will be at least one order of magnitude above the lethal dose for known biology. I recommend not disturbing the reactor. The neutron burst will lead to your death. If I may, proceed to collect the final info cache. It remains the only viable option.
+**Dr. Seloi**\\
+Info cache good. Reactor VERY bad.
+You don't have to tell me twice.
+**After collecting the info cache**
+**A.D.A**\\
+The third and final info cache has been retrieved.
+Integrating....
+Caches merged. Checksums match. 1 yottabyte of data accessible.
+We now have all three info caches described by Director Hale. To continue our mission we should find a way to leave this world so we may begin spreading this data and helping any survivors we might find.
+**Dr. Seloi**\\
+Yes, I know ADA. Only that neutron reactor...
+ADA... begin a search through the data.
+Look for weapon systems and ways to prevent the neutron bursts.
+**A.D.A**\\
+Searching for weapon systems and means of mitigating neutron bursts.
+Search initiated...
+Will inform of results, if any.
+**Dr. Seloi**\\
+Good. Maybe something will turn up.
+In the meantime, I'll work towards the reactor even if it isn't good for my health.
+[After 20 seconds]
+**A.D.A**\\
+Dr. Seloi,
+I have two search results so far. Both regard weapons. None regard neutron burst mitigation. The results were near the beginning of the data and made apparent. Director Hale must have placed them so they would be found. The two weapon systems hound in the data are referred to as "Project Odin" and "Project Thor". Each contains schematics compatible with our nano-lathe technology. I am integrating these systems into your build console.
+**Dr. Seloi**\\
+OK, I'll take it. Tell me about 'Project Odin'.
+**A.D.A**\\
+Project Odin uses primitive rocket technology to lift devices into orbit. These orbitals are useful for destruction or manipulation of the creeper. Note the use of liftic is required to construct the orbital payload of each rocket.
+**Dr. Seloi**\\
+Very nice. That might make a dent in this mess.
+Now what is 'Project Thor'?
+**A.D.A**\\
+Project Thor contains schematics but little description. All that is apparent is that it also pairs primitive technology with more advanced technology. This pairing seems to have been found to be effective in dealing with the Creeper at various points through history. I'm sorry Dr. Seloi, more data on Project Thor is not available.
+**Dr. Seloi**\\
+Only one way to find out about 'Project Thor' then. Hale knew I was a sucker for a mystery...
+**After building the Airship**
+**Sarge**\\
+THOR AIRSHIP NOW AVAILABLE. ARM BY CONNECTING TO NETWORK. TERRAFORM TERRAIN AS NECESSARY TO BUILD TOWERS HIGH ENOUGH TO REACH THE AIR SHIP.

+Perfect. I'll save some up for big punches.
+**After bringing a tower close to an obelisk**
+**Sarge**\\
+OBELISKS ARE POWERED BEYOND KNOWN SPECIFICATIONS. WHILE POWERED, THEY WIL DESTROY ANY TERRESTRIAL UNIT.
+MISSION PRIORITY: UNCERTAIN
+ALL OTHER PRIORITIES SUSPENDED
+**Hippie**\\
+Doesn't matter friend! We don't need to take out the energy sources for the Obelisks. We aren't going near that reactor anyway! It will only release the neutron burst and destroy you!
+GO IN PEACE TRAVELER!
+**Dr. Seloi**\\
+There's no choice guys.
+I'm taking the reactor out.
+You can continue without me.
+**After placing a nullifier within range of the reactor**
+**Preacher**\\
+DANU SELOI! WHAT DO YOU DO!!!??? NEUTRON BURST WYLL DESTROY YOU. THE PROPHESYMUST FULFYLL!
+STOP!
+**Dr. Seloi**\\
+Preach, it has to be done.
+That reactor is blocking rift space.'.

+**Dr. Seloi**\\
+Sarge, there is no other way.
+The mission must continue.
+**Hippie**\\
+I'm as much for the next world as anyone. but just take it easy there. That neutron burst isn't the way to enlightenment. We can find another way.
+STOP AND LET US RECONSIDER
+**Dr. Seloi**\\
+You know this is the only way, Hip.
+I wish I was wrong, but I'm not.
+**After nullifying the neutron reactor and letting it go critical**
+**Hippie**\\
+Danu? Danu? We lost you there for a few. You went and did it. The neutron burst... I...
+**Sarge**\\
+NEVER BEFORE HAS SUCH A LEADER MADE A SACRAFICE. COMMENDATION OF SUBREME HIERARCHY HONOR GRANTED.
+**Preacher**\\
+Understand I do not. Prophesy sayd you would usher in Founders. But now, you wyll no longer contynue...
+**Dr. Seloi**\\
+Huh... I guess... I guess that's it then.
+You guys can continue the mission now.
+...Without me...
+**Hippie**\\
+No words.... I got nothing.
+**Preacher**\\
+I tremble in respect. Understand do I now. Prophesy you have fulfylled. Honor memory of you we do as each world we vysyt.
+**Dr. Seloi**\\
+Prophesy... Oh, yeah. I guess...
+I guess maybe... I did.
+[LIFE SIGNS TERMINATED]
+**Hippie**\\
+Brothers. There is a great sadness, but also great hope before us. I see now our path, as do you. What shall we do with the remains of Danu?
+**Sarge**\\
+A GREAT WARRIOR SHOULD REMAIN AT HTEIR FINAL BATTLE, FOR ETERNITY.
+REMAIN HERE DANU WILL. THIS WORLD WILL BECOME A MONUMENT TO GREATNESS FOR ALL TIME.
+**Preacher**\\
+Brothers... We have much work to do. Contynue journey we wyll. vysyt worlds we must, and each purge of Creeper. Restore lyge, and help those in need. All of thys is possible because of Danu Seloi.

+Good Morning Dr. Seloi,
+I hope your night was pleasant. I have some news to please remain calm. You are not where you think you are. You are not at home. You are in a construct I have created. I am slowly enabling your most recent memories. Please remain calm during the process.
+Shortly after you destroyed the neutron reactor I was able to perform a complete neural scan of your brain. The data in the information trove has proven very useful in this regard.
+You face a choice. If you would like to continue in simulated form, you may join with the other simulants and continue on their 'Founders journey; as they now call it. If you do not wish to continue in this form, I will end the simulation during your next sleep.
+Please let me know.
