Maybe I should brace for the worst.

10003 I've been sent off-course... again. At least I didn't end up underwater.

I am underground, however. Reaching the surface might help me figure out where I am.

8 Wait for the animancers to finish recalibrating their machinery.
10008 The animancers at the Spire of the Soul-Seers are performing calibrations on their machines to prepare for a second attempt at crossing the In-Between.
