La sua origine sembra intangibile, ma sono - siamo - preoccupati con l'idea che noi [Root.GetSpeciesNamePlural] siamo destinati a cose più grandi. Dovremmo indagare sulla causa di questa isteria di massa e sulle sue sussurrate promesse di dominio galattico.\n\n$CRISIS_SPECIAL_PROJECTS_TUTORIAL$"

L'ipotesi è che le azioni e i pensieri dei [Root.GetSpeciesNamePlural] influenzano indirettamente questa dimensione alternativa e che abbiamo il potenziale per accedere alla sue energie."

crisis.4120.mach.desc:0 "The previously reported energy fluctuations that triggered sensors across the [Root.GetName] have been analyzed.\n\nThey constitute empirical proof of a parallel dimension.\n\nOur scientific theory subroutines report that, with 96.7% certainty, the alternate dimension consists of almost pure energy.\n\nCross-referencing the xeno-archives, there are mentions of such a dimension in the records of a lost organic civilization which assigned the anomaly the ID tag: §Hthe Shroud§!.\n\nFluctuations in the Shroud appear to be connected to the physical and mental duress of organic lifeforms. Recommended action: menace arbitrary organic lifeforms to validate the Reality/Shroud connection hypothesis."

C'è sicuramente una connessione, anche potente. Sono stati trovati schemi espliciti - come le azioni intraprese nella nostra realtà provocano certe fluttuazioni nel Velo - e questo dimostra che queste energie invisibili possono essere domate e alla fine dirette per tutti gli scopi straordinari!"
