Right then! This is Goredolf Musik, commander[sr]and pilot of the Storm Border!

@Goredolf
Do you read me, [%1]!?[sr]You do read me, yes!?
[k]
@Goredolf
I'm just going to assume you can and[sr]tell you all what I have to say!
[k]
@Goredolf
We've just finished making emergency repairs to the Border, and are on our way to rendezvous with you at top speed!
[k]
@Goredolf
We're all caught up on your situation[sr]thanks to our video feed!
[k]
@Goredolf
We know that the Tree of Emptiness was burned down from the inside, that a mysterious light came down from the sky, and that the Foreign God appeared from inside Atlas and claimed to be Olga Marie Animusphere!
[k]
@Goredolf
I'm still trying to make sense of it all,[sr]but never mind that for now!
[k]
@Goredolf
Which building are you all in right now!?[sr]The great shrine? The Cronus Crown!?
[k]
@Goredolf
The Cronus Crown is starting to fall apart quickly, so if you're there, hurry over to the great shrine immediately!
[k]
@Goredolf
We should be able to fly in and extract you from there! What's that? I'm asking the impossible? Never mind that! Just get it done!

Not to worry, Director Goredolf.[sr]We've already managed to escape to the great shrine.

If it's stability you seek,[sr]I suggest you make your way to the altar.

@Europa
It's in the very middle of the shrine, and it was a holy zone used to receive Lord Zeus's revelations right to the very end. It will not be quick to fall apart.

People huddled together in branch shrines, believing the destruction would stop once the gods heard their prayers...

It was the first pall of silence, devoid of even a single prayer, that had fallen over Olympus in ten thousand years.

The situation seems dire. While we do have some floating Mystic Codes prepared, we simply no longer have enough magical energy to make use of them.
