SWIRLING CONSEQUENCES: CONCLUSION

---

A week is a long time to be trudging across a world, helping dralites and people, closing voidtears and fighting chinchillas. But a week it has been. Most of the farmers have gotten used to having the voidtreckers around, and a friendly rapport flows between those helping out gathering and looking after the animals.

Most of the farm animals have been relocated and returned to their farms. Parts of the enclosures are still in need of repair, but there have also been efforts to improve farm perimeters with electric fencing. The farmers are still getting to grips with that, and many are busy rebuilding small outhouses or pens that were damaged in all the chaos.

Aid has trickled through to the further away communities, and the communities have rallied to support the displaced people who didn't manage to be returned home. They are a welcoming bunch, many of the farmers come from families brought from other worlds after all.

Around the mountain of Ciyesia, things are calming. The dralite have finally relocated their young, and though there are repairs needed here too to the nesting grounds, the screeching has finally quietened, and the forests are still.

Towards the afternoon of the thirteenth day of the month of Quicksand, the voidtrecker's SCAs glow with the colours of the void. The same purple and blue skinned woman as before sits behind the same wooden desk. She looks a little less stern this time.

"Thank you Voidtreckers, your efforts have been noteworthy. Things are stabilising, and from all monitoring reports, you have successfully dealt with the void twisted creatures that managed to slip through into system #5739. It looks like the tears in the void have also been patched; we will send some experts in to finish off, but they will hold until we get a team there.

The wider mission has also been a success. The ripples have been neutralised for now. We thank you for your efforts. If you could please fill in the report form sent to your SCA's and submit them for our mission audit team, that would be very helpful for us.

We would like to remind you that risky experimentation such as your untethering attempts are best done by trained professionals. We understand you were not fully in control of the situation, and so no action is being taken by the Inspection arm at this time. However, in more positive news, we have managed to gather data from the scene of that incident and our void scientists are currently working on a further understanding of your tethers.

We will be in touch."

After the video ends, there are a few hours for everyone to finish up their tasks, to say goodbye to any new friends- people or animals -before boarding the train once more. The train meets them at the platform in the woods it deposited them at, the doors opening so the weary voidtreckers can board once more.

The train leads them through the woods, further along the hillside before it rises into the air, flying up into a sky streaked with faint lines of colour. And then there's a shudder, and the world outside the windows is replaced with the kaleidoscope imagery of the void once more.
