threat? Do you think the human inhabited Bubble
is in danger of a Thargoid invasion?
I had hoped that we could establish peaceful relations with
them but that’s looking increasingly unlikely from what I’ve
been hearing. Could have happened and been to all our benefit
if Commanders weren’t so hell bent on shooting anything that
moves rather than talk. As it is, it does look like war and their
technology looks superior to ours. If and when they take the
initiative I can see much of the Bubble being laid waste.
Ominous but, ultimately, realistic. Attempting
peaceful communication would definitely have
been the sensible decision. Do you think that perhaps
explorers will enjoy relative safety and not
attract the attention of the Thargoids?
I hope so! They don’t seem all that aggressive for now and are
happy to just observe unless pushed too far. But if that changes,
maybe we explorers can trade data on ammonia worlds for our
lives…
Indeed. Or perhaps help find a new home for
humanity, away from the Thargoid menace. What
does the future hold for you? What are your hopes
and dreams?
“I had hoped that we could establish peaceful

I expect to keep on exploring, but maybe scale down things a
little. The galaxy is starting to feel a little small so I hope we get
the technology one day to head out to the globular clusters, the
Magellanic Clouds and maybe even other galaxies. As for where
I will be, probably somewhere way beyond the first star on the
right!
Thank you again for agreeing to talk to us, Allitnil.
It’s been an honour and an absolute pleasure.
Thanks, been great talking to you. Even a loner likes a conservation
every now and then.

Aura Lorell has a military background and rumour had it that she was involved in
black ops too. When asked for details she smiles and says: “I’m just an explorer”.
Attracted by the extreme ends of the galaxy, these days you’ll find her either high
above—or below—the galactic plane, or at the rim of the galaxy where there are no
systems further out.
