"I told you I'd make sure you weren't in trouble." See? He may be shockingly casual about interdimensional anomalies, but he's a good crew-mate. Just the sort of fellow you want to be friends with, Norn.

"Hmm. That might bode well. Stable portals tend to attach to physical openings around here. I can only speculate why. They're uncommon, though, so I expect your route in has already closed. I can get us back, by the way- no need to worry about that. Which way did you come?"

Tamrielic conjurers may share virtually none of Starfleet's caution when it comes to these things, but even Felix doesn't want to contemplate the mess that would result from a publicly open portal to the station. There's also a faint twinge of worry that this might be partially his own fault. But who knows? The Nexus does what it wants.

He gives Norn a thoughtful look. "You seem wise enough to realize the significance of what you've just stumbled across. And how dangerous knowledge is, in this situation. I'm sure you understand that what you learn here must stay within the bounds of this place." He's nowhere near as good at pulling off the direct look and serious intonation as Stratos, but he's had good examples to follow.
