threat? Do you think the human inhabited Bubble<br />
is in danger of a Thargoid invasion?<br />
I had hoped that we could establish peaceful relations with<br />
them but that’s looking increasingly unlikely from what I’ve<br />
been hearing. Could have happened and been to all our benefit<br />
if Commanders weren’t so hell bent on shooting anything that<br />
moves rather than talk. As it is, it does look like war and their<br />
technology looks superior to ours. If and when they take the<br />
initiative I can see much of the Bubble being laid waste.<br />
Ominous but, ultimately, realistic. Attempting<br />
peaceful communication would definitely have<br />
been the sensible decision. Do you think that perhaps<br />
explorers will enjoy relative safety and not<br />
attract the attention of the Thargoids?<br />
I hope so! They don’t seem all that aggressive for now and are<br />
happy to just observe unless pushed too far. But if that changes,<br />
maybe we explorers can trade data on ammonia worlds for our<br />
lives…<br />
Indeed. Or perhaps help find a new home for<br />
humanity, away from the Thargoid menace. What<br />
does the future hold for you? What are your hopes<br />
and dreams?<br />

I expect to keep on exploring, but maybe scale down things a<br />
little. The galaxy is starting to feel a little small so I hope we get<br />
the technology one day to head out to the globular clusters, the<br />
Magellanic Clouds and maybe even other galaxies. As for where<br />
I will be, probably somewhere way beyond the first star on the<br />
right!<br />
Thank you again for agreeing to talk to us, Allitnil.<br />
It’s been an honour and an absolute pleasure.<br />
Thanks, been great talking to you. Even a loner likes a conservation<br />
every now and then.<br />

Aura Lorell has a military background and rumour had it that she was involved in<br />
black ops too. When asked for details she smiles and says: “I’m just an explorer”.<br />
Attracted by the extreme ends of the galaxy, these days you’ll find her either high<br />
above—or below—the galactic plane, or at the rim of the galaxy where there are no<br />
systems further out.
