World 2C1 was closed today, after its residents declared war on our scouts.

That leaves only World 3DB from the initial batch. 3DB is a tricky world; it features both magical and non-magical peoples, but the transformation effect is to a form that’s fairly easy to manage. Up until today, the magical side has also been at war with a local Dark Lord- and we might have closed it as too dangerous, but it’s also one of the very few worlds we’ve encountered where the gate is one way. That is to say, the only way our operatives are able to return is with our safety necklaces- which means it’s simply not possible for that Dark Lord to follow us back through, and it’s safe for us to just wait out the war.

Now that the war is over, we might be able to start building relations, and see what the locals think of us.

But anyways. We’ve been opening a thousand portals a day for over a year now, and only keeping an average of fifteen new portals each day- still more of which get closed over the next few days. Regarding only the generations which are more than one week old, the average number of portals open is almost one.

Because of this, I haven’t been calling in as many Reserve Agents as I initially planned; we simply haven’t had the worlds to send them into.

But even with the war, 3DB remains one of the most promising worlds. Abundant resources, welcoming environment, plentiful food, and even welcoming magic. The only speedbumps are the existing civilization and the fact that magic works differently there, so we’ll need to relearn… but we have been able to confirm we are still capable of magic there.

Hmm… I think we’ll wait a year, then make contact in 3DB. It wouldn’t do to look like we were waiting out the war, even if that’s exactly what we were doing.
