[Narrator]

“Specifically, a Planetary-Class defense satellites have been detected in orbit around the same celestial body as the abandoned gate city.”

[Other Njorunn]

“I thought this was a godless realm, why does it have defenses and a gate city?”

[Narrator]

“An abandoned gate city, yes. According to the information pamphlet Gwen acquired from the planar cartographers guild ‘Cerulean Spear Odyssey’ about this realm, it was already named too. It is highly likely this realm was once owned.”

[Other Njorunn]

“I have a question. Why would a deity abandon a perfectly good realm like this after having built defensive infrastructure?”

[Narrator]

“Speculation – the realm wasn’t abandoned but something happened to the deity. Reasoning – the firmware on the defensive installation was updated 10,538 years, 8 months, 14 days, and 7 hours ago. The artificial orbital stabilizers around the third planet of Frekigarðr:384.-6.79.7896: H(6),T(Static),ID(8),G(1.2),A(Keystone) are more recent by 3 days. It’s likely that the deity was killed and in its dying throes it protected the mortals of its realm and stabilized the orbit of their habitation primary planet. In addition, w-”

“… Understood. The defense system is charging its ichor cannons anyway and I suggest we pacify it before approaching the gate city. I’m sure you’d want to avoid it firing those when you’re closer to the gate city.”

[Other Njorunn]

“Yea, that seems like a good idea. How sho-”

Njorunn gets interrupted by a volley of ichor bolts from the defense satellite which proceed to bounce off the other Njorunns little space bubble.

[Other Njorunn]

“This default barrier you set up is neat, but I really should set my own ichor circuits for this kind of thing in the future. I don’t even think I even need it against such old tech though. I can’t even counter attack from inside of it, I think you’re just being over-protective with this setup.”
