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.

I had not given her words much thought until now, but when I spoke to Lovers I believe she had insinuated that resurrecting the dead takes longer in liminal space because our bodies are are real. Which now leaves me to believe those we have on jaunts are not.

[All of that information leaves Drizzt feeling solemn, and he acknowledges the information shared by the tone in his voice, although not directly..]

It is good that you both have returned.

[This comes later enough to give Altaïr a chance to recover without being nagged, but like most of the man's rare psychic posts, Beatrice feels obligated to contribute to the conversation.]

...I'll have to thank the veterans, even if they weren't able to give a clear reason for their warning.

It's good to know the process, and the consequences to this kind of accident. And this should dispel any idea that we are only being "simulated" here.
