Late into the night of the ball, things start to change rather quickly. It starts with your host disappearing in a burst of starlight and guests in the immediate area flinching back in shock. Moments later, a roar of fury can be heard and leaves the whole ballroom shaking. Worse than shaking, actually, as one can hear faintly the sound of cracking. Fearful eyes all over the gathering turn to the dome that surrounds them, tracking the slow progression of spider web thin cracks. Whispers begin to spread with concern underlying them, no matter the language. Someone has chosen to cross your powerful host.

And given the vibrations coming from wherever you have your communication device stored, there is a good theory as to who may come to shoulder the blame. Seems like one of your crewmates was succeeding in their task. Or perhaps got distracted by the other shinies that might be present.

Sticking around to figure out just which it was might not be the best decision, but you will have until the end of the party to make use of your escape device. With the way that the cracks in the dome are spreading and the frantic energy of the party may be waiting, isn't that wise. The longer you wait though, the more violent the vibrations coming from your communication device. Venidelosia clearly wants your attention.

Those that indulge her will find a message on their device stating that evacuation is necessary. Do not delay. Our pilots are ordered to return immediately, they will need to exit quickly. She is already calculating a route with some assistance.

FAQ

What’s this?

This is a goodbye. Mod Churby’s health matters have only gotten more complicated, and with the private input of the player base she made the hard decision that this will be the final official month of The Revival Project. She’ll spare you more apologies and offer you this final collection of playground options before leaving Agra-10 to you as a sandbox.

Can we talk to the NPCs?

Yes, to provide the best end for you possible, the NPCS provided here will be available for you to talk to. Mod Churby will be doing her best to check in regularly to allow them to talk to players for questions, answers, and speculation. But to ensure she gets to you, please comment below to let her know if you’re starting something.

What’s the end date?

In the simplest terms, the end date is actually today. In a bit more flexibility NPC interactions will be left open through the end of November, but they may end up being handwaved closed if another barrier comes up in Mod Churby’s life.

What can we do with this?

Well, there is clearly some nice space shooting that you can get into. That could be fun. Or reactions to the portal and the fainting of Cass. Or even discussions in the Deep End and after. Take the time to find possible decisions and maybe goodbyes for yourself and for others. Or, if it's what you prefer, just quietly nod, ask some OOC questions, and step out quietly. We'll understand no matter the path.

What are our options from here? Do we have to go home?

Players will have a few choices for each character. One is that they go back to when and where they are from with no memory and can never come back. The next is that they will go and return to where they are from with a single pin of crystal and their memories intact. This crystal pin will allow them to return to Agra-10 with Cass’s help, but there will not be the same pause in time that characters experienced before. As she said, she’s only akin to the power that was used to bring you here, she is not identical to it. There is also the option to stay on Agra-10 through the rest of your lives and live with the Agrii and Plantkin, or join the Agrii that which to join the Drovveok and thus go on more space adventures.

What if we want to leave but not go home?

For those that wish to, they will be able to go ‘home’ with others. If they do, they will not be able to return to Agra-10 or to their own home world at any point. It is a one way ticket for them. But they will remember everything they went through. Cass will explain it as something to do with the way she will have to alter their ‘light’ to move them to where they do not belong and therefore make them fit there, and how it will make them less stable to other changes.

Can we really still play with the game after this?

Yep. Whether here or elsewhere, have fun with the idea.

What about the Atroma?

If, and only if, you want to follow that particular thread let me know in a comment below and I’ll give you some information you could use to unlock the ends of that story line, as we won’t be able to get to it here.

I have other questions.

Ask them below.

You will find below a thread that allows you to give your goodbyes to the community should you so wish. For now, the game Discord will be open, but it will be closing at the start of the year. If you wish to share personal contact information. There are things like Discord, Plurk, or other methods. Feel free to use the information below to share it or just reach out to each other directly. You will still have access to the out of character community to make use of as you desire, including if you keep playing in the community as a sandbox.

For one final time, I Mod Churby would like to thank you guys for the years that you have given to us and the fun that you have brought to this game.
