"I have already mentioned this recently, but to sum up, we are aware that the majority of the Calamity exists within the interdimensional Rift. There is also potentially a sentient being that is the core of the Calamity within the Rift. Some of us have met her before." Jack shifts and folds his arms. "The rift portal project will give us a way in to potentially fix part of the damage to the First Crystal and to deal with this being."

Jack's voice gets a lot more force in if. He is not budging on this point. "We will attempt to negotiate and bargain with her and find absolutely any nonviolent solution before we attempt to destroy her. Whatever her nature, she is an interdimensional being that is beyond any of our comprehension. She might not be beyond reason. But if it comes down to her life or this planet's, and no other choice. Then we will act."
