Their story
Show their story (spoilers)Story spoiler
Rama's words come through a translator full of errors. They thought the first humans were snacks and promise not to eat stranger-flesh again. The tear hurts their world; they lead you to the cave where the others hid the Theta Splice and ask you to complete it and close the tear. They tell you that you were made with their incubators. If you stabilise the rift they cry out that you are hurting their world; if you close it, they sing.

Hello. We are testing. We are... <color=#AA4444>Error</color> Apoligize for the... <color=#AA4444>Error. Error.</color>
You. Me. <color=#AA4444>Error</color> Understand. Understand. Hello.
Hello. You use machine translate. How say... <color=#AA4444>Error. Error.</color> in your language?
You understand us! Your machine translates! We are <color=#AA4444>error,</color> We bring <color=#AA4444>error</color> We are friends, Friends. We are friends.
Hello-greetings! You understand us! You are sentient! We are called [...]
We have questions! What do you eat? Do you comprehend love? Other of your kind have come through. We thought they were snacks. But now we see they perform infant play behaviours and exceed our expectations! [ERROR] [ERROR] [ERROR]
This is [ERROR]. They tasted of hydrocarbons, calcium, [ERROR]. We won’t do it again, never again [ERROR] [EMOTE]. No more eating of stranger-flesh!
Tear hurts our world. You are sentient - you understand, respect environment and other living things. You do respect your environment and other living things?
Are you trying to return through tear? We are friends now, we will help!
Others of your kind made this machine to alter tear. It is incomplete. We will show you their hiding cave, and you can complete the device.
This started when the quantum tunnel appeared. The energy potential of our world exceeds yours, is flowing from here to there. We would share, but this tear death-slows our world - Pain. Pain. Pain. Pain.
Many of us want to come lick you [ERROR] [EMOTE]. But your world hurts us. We come anyway - knowing new friend is worth the hurt!
This is one of us that ended.
We do not blame you for [ERROR] death. Your world poisons us, tear unstable - but you are sentient, will make good!
What do you feel when you see death? Do you sing songs of life beautiful?
We do not fear death of part of us. It is life changing, so why be sad? But we fear poisons of your world. They are life ending.
Please move quick! Quantum tear field fluctation very unstable. Kill our world. Kill your world too.
Oh! You haven't overcome gravity! Must you use limbs for climbing?
You are very close! Would be faster to fly - swim, but you can use your limbs - quick quick, before world ends.
We remember first time we were cloned. We beheld ourselves and saw [ERROR] love.
When you were cloned, did you move unnecessary introns about? If not, why not? It is the best part.
You were made with our incubators! There will be mutation - flaws in your construction. Flaws are interesting. Flaws make something new.
Sometimes one of us looks at a thing, and sees what they want to. It can take two to see what is.
I am changed when you look at us! You are changed when we look at you! It is the nature of all things and the best reason to be friends!
We note your species struggles with simple concepts. Example - you observe an atom, think by observing change it. Not understand that atom observes you back.
We cannot stay here with you very much longer. The machine you make hurts too heavy.
You make your machine make it good good? We are happy! It hurts us now, but then you will close the tear and we will heal whiteness of this world!
You found hiding cave! Excellent good! It hurts us too much, but you can fix it! Save our world!
Others of your limbs rested here. They made music. Or maybe horror-noise. We tried to calm them with our songs, but they went away.
Is it nice, having your skeleton on the inside? What do you do if it itches?
How can you touch thing so macro hurts-hurts? Does it not make your organs sting?
Have you aligned your noises? Here, we will show you.
Once - long time before - a part of us explored in dark beyond. Perhaps they found way to your world? Do you sing songs of creatures like us? We have no songs of you.
What is happening? Machine sings pain! Making pain!
Stop! You are hurting us! You are hurting world!
You make primitive machine work, save us all! We feel it dance in violet!
The machine is working! Close tear, we will sing together as one!
We knew you were sentient! See beyond many/too few limbs! Choose life!
You must be lonely, so far from your limbs. We make soothing noises!
You have made machine! So macro in design. Hurts to lick it. Please use it with your limbs, close tear forever and save our world [ERROR] [EMOTE].
Why are you not doing? Use machine. Save us. Life to life. Save us.
