"When we had that partial psychic transference event," Jack nods, he knows that he and Sephiroth have different terms for it, but it's how he understands it. "When we could see into each other's memories. That place that wasn't a memory, but...was. Like it was a shared memory between all of us. The girl that was there, we believe is the being of the Calamity." Jack didn't get her name.
"To prevent anything from following us out, we're going to need a way to close the Rift again, we can't maintain the portal the entire time we are inside. If anyone knows of a way to signal from inside the Rift? I had a piece of tech that probably could have done the job, but I need to find another way now."
Jack sighs deeply and leans on the nearest table. "In addition, I'm regaining from home an algorithm that should keep the Rift stable this time. It's a way to predict variations in the Rift's energy levels. Back at home, we used it to know when the Cardiff Rift was going to open or close. It should apply here."
"But how to deal with an interdimensional being? Well, some of us have a tendency to get those things' attention." Jack runs a hand over his face. "We cut this world off from other worlds, no more Heroes appear, the Calamity gets stopped in its tracks, doesn't devour this world or ours. But it also means that whatever thing it is that the Ancients were trying to prevent by starting this mess in the first place is still a problem? Was the First Crystal already damaged? Or did it get damaged when the Ancients started to try to use other worlds to regenerate this one?" Jack lets out another sigh as he goes to one of the tables, he's looking for the copies of Palitulu's reports. She was the one that gave them this info.
