Well that's ominous. Quill would love to hear more about these obviously terrifying creatures, but there's no point in setting off this woman all over again.

"I've been here for a month and all the progress I've seen is of the 'settling in' variety. It's like most people decided to just... roll over and live here now." Her distaste for the lack of open rebellion is palpable. There is nothing wrong with establishing a functional base and building up your resources, but at some point you're just getting comfortable so you can pretend you're not really being oppressed. "Don't think the Door has been found either. We probably don't have the right technology to detect it, as I'm sure you can guess. You think you can help with that?"
