The air inside the Bubble is surprisingly still, and laden with enough oxygen that you feel as if you’ve woken from a deep sleep.

In the center of the Bubble, you see a disk made of dull gray steel, maybe a few meters across. Someone has laid a bedroll next to it, and that same someone is crouched over the disk, studying it intently. The man looks up from his work and waves.

“Welcome to the Bubble! Come over here, why don’t you?”

Silaro shows you the disk, which appears to be stamped with concentric rings of indecipherable text. He also shows you a translation device he’s built, a glass plate that, when laid over the text, slowly translates parts of it into something legible.

After a long time enthusiastically talking about his work, Silaro gets a thoughtful look in his eye. “You know, there are arcology ruins all over the Valley. If you ever find anything interesting, I’d love for you to bring it by and show me. I can give you one of my translation plates too. That might help in any exploration you do.”

“Come back to me to show me what you’ve found. You can find me here, or in Spire, down in the arcology ... or out in the field studying the Fractured Wall. So much to discover! I can’t bear staying in one place for too long.”
