Leia nodded, her expression still thoughtful. "I didn't really expect so, but I needed to ask," she said. She debated briefly whether or not to elaborate, before deciding to explain the situation. "You see, we Voidtreckers have something of an ongoing mystery on our hands. None of us currently aboard the Voidtrecker Express is there by choice, or were even aware of the Void before we turned up on a platform, and the first group that that was true for was brought on board roughly a year and four months ago. And given what you've told me, I now have an idea of that it happened when it did."
"At some point that had to have been not long after that original visit, the then crew of the Voidtrecker was... lost under mysterious circumstances. Not even the train is sure what happened, and the few records of the crew we've been able to find are spotty at best. We've been trying to find any information we can that might shed some light on the subject."
"What deepens the mystery even further is that most of the rest of the Void-aware worlds seem to regard the Voidtrecker Express's very existence as more legend than fact. Even the Ministry, until recently. Not only does this complicate matters by leaving us unable to compare our records with theirs to try to gain new information, but it makes people who don't regard the Voidtrecker in such a way stand out. To date, you're one of two of these notable exceptions that we've come across." Leia had some vague ideas regarding this, but would need to look into the mission records back on the train before she mentioned any theories as to why this might be.
"I don't know what any of this means, and I don't mean to put you on the spot, especially when you've been kind enough to host us like this. But if you or anyone else here can recall anything that stood out from the Vooidtrecker's last visit or that you think might be useful, we'd greatly appreciate it."
