There’s no interjection from Navi today to announce a change in destination, but change is indeed imminent. Those rifts in space-time are sneaky things, sometimes impossible to perceive until they’re actually happening, and one happens to rip open right around Navi today, on what should’ve been an otherwise ordinary day of travel.

And so, dear passengers, much like how you arrived on Navi - unintentionally, without preamble or pretext - you find yourself swept up and deposited elsewhere. Round and round the wormhole goes, and where you’ll end up, nobody knows.

So until next time - farewell, passengers. You don’t have to go home, but you can’t stay here.

Rise and shine, passengers! Navi has a very important announcement for y’all:

Hello, passengers!
And many enthusiastic greetings to you all.
I’m delighted to inform you that we'll soon be landing on the planet Linzi’iri, near the seaside resort town of Bruzoria.
My knowledge banks inform me that we’ll be arriving two days before the commencement of the week-long Festival of Ipliopron.
How exciting!
A highly suggested attraction for visitors to Bruzoria is the Secret Waters Cafe, located adjacent to the Temple of the Secret Waters. This cafe is housed inside an old ferry ship that ran aground many years ago and was converted to its current form by the Saints of the Secret Waters.
If you purchase and consume a famed Transformation Tonic, you’ll have convenient access to the water once you begin to change into a creature capable of communing with the sea.
Doesn’t that sound lovely?
I will open a tab at the cafe, so please enjoy a transformative experience on my credits.
Ipliopron’s blessings upon you!
Please stand by for atmospheric entry.

Sounds like someone is still a little bit high on angel juice, eh?

But as Navi said in their message, any passenger who wishes to partake of a Transformation Tonic at the Secret Waters Cafe can charge the bill to Navi’s account. Navigems will also be distributed to all occupied cabins shortly prior to arrival, and passengers will find a bank counter just past the docking terminal, where Navigems can be exchanged for credits (the universal currency).

Enjoy the local festivities!

[Wherever you are in New Estos or Rizyria, you’ll find all operational screens in public spaces filled with a video broadcast. It’s a feed from the balcony of the Prophet’s mansion, where a figure in a black and gold-embellished hooded cloak approaches - the elusive Prophet in the flesh, apparently. He’s flanked on both sides by a pair of Monaurians, and as he steps forward into the light, he pushes back the hood of the cloak to reveal a face that some of Navi’s passengers might find somewhat familiar. The facial scar is absent and a plain tattoo of an upward-facing triangle can be seen on his neck, peeking out from the collar of the cloak, but in all other aspects, he is identical to the man currently resting in stasis in one of Navi’s cryopods. With a beatific smile, he addresses both the camera focused on him and the crowd gathered below the balcony.]

Children of New Estos! I bring you all good tidings on this most victorious of mornings, for I, your Prophet, have had a vision! [He pauses for applause, nodding in approval until it subsides, then continues:] Yesterday, there was an attempted infiltration to our fair city by an outsider - an abomination of Creation - and we, your ever faithful protectors, were able to stop it.

[Another round of applause springs up from the crowd below, and the camera cuts to a wide shot of the crowd of New Estos’ elite gathered on the ground. When the feed cuts back to the Prophet, there is a screen-in-screen placed to the side that shows silent recorded footage of a panicked man in the busy city streets being chased by Monaurians, then apprehended, then dragged away, shouting and struggling until he’s injected with something by a metal hand and goes limp.

The victim is none other than Navi’s own Archivist, Jonathan Sims.

The second screen disappears and the camera recenters on the Prophet.]

Fear not, good citizens, for this abomination has been summarily executed and disposed of, and shall trouble this city no more. And this is the vision I have received from our Maker! This attempt at corrupting us, the Chosen People, was a test, one from which we have emerged victorious! [Again, he pauses for applause, this round much louder than the others before.] Our most holy Maker has been watching us from afar all this time, waiting for us to prove how worthy we are of receiving the divine love we’ve been granted, and I am pleased to bring the message today that we have indeed proved that we are deserving of such gifts. Soon, our Maker shall return to us! Soon, we will once again bathe in the glory of our Maker’s blessings!

[At this point, the crowd explodes into riotous applause, loudly cheering the Prophet’s message. The camera cuts to another wide shot of the audience in frenzied joy, then back to the Prophet as he holds up his hands to calm the crowd.]

Go now and prepare yourselves, chosen children of New Estos, for the Maker’s return is close at hand! I will come to you again when I have been given more news to share. Until then - Maker’s blessings upon you all!

[The feed fades out to the sound of applause and a closeup of the Prophet’s grinning face.]
