"And this is our research wing, you and I are going to spend a lot of time here."
"Hehe. At least it's near the kitchen."
"Now, that artifact. Let's have a look."
"Huuuh. Right here?"
"Chale. The time for traps has come and gone. No one is after your bracelet here. Trust me."
"I hope not. It's such a small thing, but there's so much power in it. I don't even know how."
"I do. See these engravings carved along the inside?"
"Yes m'am. I ran them against every record in the world linguistic archive. No matches."
"Because the script is not of Earth. It's in the language of The Guardians."
"The Guardians? So they're real..."
"Yes."
"And you can read it?"
"Only some. I am still learning."
"What do you recognize? Any touchstone words?"
"Guardian, flo-wer, gift, key."
"Key? I'd love to find a lock."
"Perhaps... Legion already has."
"What do you mean?"
"The knowledge left for me is vague. Incomplete. But the lock, I think it's a place. Something called "This Nexus", a lost city built by The Guardians. I could never find it."
"Because it's gone."
"Gone? Please explain."
"At REALM, I studied the city of flowers. Even tracked it down with a map we pulled out of Gulf of Khambhat. When I got there, well, it wasn't pretty."
"Ruined?"
"Worse. Decimated. Sabotaged. I couldn't even get close."
"Sabotaged by who?"
"I don't know. I'm sorry."
"Destroyed on Alpha. What about Omega? Maybe it's still there."
"Maybe and if Omega me activates this Nexus..."
"That is a question for Killjoy. Why don't we pay her a visit? Bring the relic."
"Yes m'am."

"Brimstone, it's Harbor. That was some new hire orientation, huh? Is it always that dangerous to join your crew, or did I get special treatment? Jokes aside, I owe you my thanks. You put your whole team on the line to save me, that's not something I'll forget. It's hard to trust anyone after being on the run. But seeing the stunts you pulled for a rescue, well, that's a start. But as for the immediate future, I'll keep watching my own back, just until the nerves settle."
