Lynn accepted the mission.
The Communication Slate immediately vibrated, and a message popped up:
"You have accepted the 'X-882 Small World Investigation' mission. Mission overseer: Bone Spire War Affairs Department. Notes: This world has no direct teleportation array. You must cross the void yourself. Please transfer through World X-779. Coordinates have been issued. Good luck."

Several points of light were marked
