| === Episode Description ===
| |
| <blockquote>Across the threshold into the Vale's deepest fog, The Notion is finally sets their sights on their target, Acre-7, as well as the axiom Ache, who brings with it visions of their deepest regrets. As Ache tears through the earth in the distance, the group travels with two uneasy companions, Saint Wynter and Advent agent Gigas, towards Acre-7 to get answers and offer support before focusing on the combat around them. Even Gardner does his best to keep the peace with Wynter and Gigas, and Gig Kephart (despite his initial indignation) ends up helping more than hindering. Echo Reverie tries to find a loophole to protect the group without upsetting an already distressed Quire, and Signet turns to her vast archives to help solve her own corner of the crisis.<br />

| {{Quote|An Excerpt from the Foreword of Living Memory, an inter-objective history of the planet [[Quire]], by Dr. [[Lily Lysander]].
| |
| As student, scholar and scientist, I spent years accepting as necessary certain assumptions. I believed that effects came from causes, even those we couldn’t pinpoint, even those so miniscule that they were hard to see, or else so large that they became canvas instead of figure. I believed that those causes were basically consistent, that if I let go of a ball that it would always fall to the ground, no matter how many times I rewound the scene, and hit play. Even when I wished it wouldn’t’ve.
| |
| | |
| Which made me feel like everything I studied mattered. Because, it meant that we could tentatively link effects, to causes. I let go of the ball. It fell. Nature was a laboratory. On regular planets, this was simple. But on worlds like Quire, worlds that seemed to think for themselves, it was difficult in the best way. And my teachers and mentors, my peers and students, everyday scientists like yourself – we were poised to open it up, and understand.
| |
| | |
| Because of this, I believed, like you might, that, the world we had was the one we were stuck with. That whatever path we took here was immutable and, whatever other imagined past or presents or futures we could bring to mind, real change was slow, and material. Trackable. Cause. Effect.
| |
| | |
| With the first [[the Miracle|Miracle]], Quire shook my confidence in that. It built complete planets from nothing at all, with false histories of erosion and mineral deposits and impossible architectures. But even there, I could draw the line, could track the expenditure of energy.
| |
| | |
| But the [[The Second Miracle (event)|Second Miracle]] was different. My assumptions, I realised, were limited. I was myopic. Once I learned what planets like [[Sagilia]], [[Acre Seven|Acre]] and Quire were, once I understood what they could do, I realised that nature wasn’t a laboratory at all. It was a scientist too.|[[Lily Lysander]]}}
