Okay, so I gotta clear up a few things for you new kids.

Don't portal where anybody can see you on this Jaunt. Most of the time, infiltrators and natives and shit can't see your portals. This place is different, cuz we had portals bouncing around into liminal space all over last time we were here. And because of that, you're gonna freak people the fuck out if you portal where they can see you.

If you gotta portal out of somewhere, do it where nobody can see you and where you can be at least mostly sure there's no cameras, cuz it's possible machines here can see 'em. Synths can, and they're basically sentient machines.

For people who want the full history lesson, last time we were here, we were convicts and political prisoners and crash-landers who all escaped from a prison planet on two ships, tryin' to get away from some kind of information blizzard in space. We called it a tachyon storm, but really, we didn't have a fuckin' clue, we just figured it was bad. Empress of Moths is the one that survived that trip, and she's docked here. She kinda had a baby Starmover in her engine-- that's a kinda radioactive fire-alien thing from another world we visited once-- which is probably where the storm thing came from to begin with.

So that's what happened, and portals will freak people the fuck out. Gil, I'm talkin' to you in particular, cuz I had to deal with a flailing, panicked synth and try to talk him down after your little stunt.
