You're having a bad day? But did you DIE?

[ Though he has the ability to broadcast his senses as well as his voice, he does not. Just plain psychic voice today, and a little quieter than usual. He's only talking because, damn it all, Travelers should know about what some of the older veterans couldn't remember. ]

Usually when an Infiltrator is killed, they return as an Investigator. Such is not the case in Liminal Space. The nature of death here is different, for both Infiltrators and Investigators. I do not know if the same... fate... awaits another world's native who might find themselves in Liminal Space, and I am in no hurry to find out.

Like Jaunt death, it is not permanent, therefore killing someone here will not accomplish much. It is... painful. Cruel. My...

[ No. Let's not go there. Travelers can read his simple notes and illustrations about being trapped in the floor in a sack-like cocoon with no light, in pain, only having Matthew to talk to, but he will not show the severity of a trauma that could be exploited by enemies. ]

Matthew and I were kept isolated in a different Liminal Space for about a week. The body heals, faster than it should, but slower than any of your instant healing spells.

I will repeat, to those for whom it is unclear [ thanks, Jules ], that Matthew was not himself. He was his Infiltrator, a man named Masshuu. I am not sure if Masshuu is dead or, like a Traveler, simply back in his own land. I have made notes. You can find them near the Jaunt records in Leonardo's Workshop.

The Arcana seem to think they must be caretakers of our bodies in Liminal Space. I think they have more reach here than anywhere else, as they have to follow less rules of their 'game.' But as for when people arrive here, or even when we leave to go on Jaunts, I cannot say.

It's pretty clear that Liminal Space is where they have the most power. Likely because they require vessels that "fit" into the Jaunt worlds the same as we do, although I can't say that for certain. They certainly either can't or don't manipulate "real" worlds to the same extent they do the space between them.
