The gate opens in an small space. Through a doorway ahead is a mid-sized room, scattered with chairs. One wall, directly across from the doorway to the incoming gates area, is made of some clear material. On the other side of it is another room, with a metallic floor raised slightly above the first one's, with a half-dozen complex diagrams and space for many more.

The way into there appears to be through a decontamination room to the left. There is a door on the right into the rest of the base. Embedded in the wall to the left is the door to the outgoing gate area.

Both rooms are windowless and otherwise minimally decorated.

(Observant guests may note that the gravity is about a third of what they are used to.)

"I explained most of the complications -- loss of continuity and the need for resleeving, though I may be missing something courtesy of it being a fact of life here." She taps her fingers against her leg thoughtfully (and winces when she bumps the cut). "There are some disorders that can be caused by death-related trauma or damaged backups, but the latter is unlikely." She considers the other question for a few moments. "We are fairly willing to back people up, but arranging frequent backups could be logistically complex -- it might be easier long term for you to have a cortical stack, unless that is likely to be destroyed if you are killed -- and resleeving, should it be necessary, tends to be moderately expensive. Do you have any resources that would be useful against the exsurgent virus or other existential risks?"

"Loss of continuity and getting resleeved is better than permanently dying. So while I get that dying should still be avoided and is inherently bad, the problems that come with backups are better than, uh, that. And, me personally? Eh. Probably not, considering the power everyone present seems to be wantonly flinging around."

(Is that a bit of envy? Yes. Yes it is.)

"I can likely do more," says Raezenoth. "I can provide blessings, some material resources, a certain level of extra-world communication, and - have you been informed of Perinixu?"
