I Love You

[Side Mission n°4 : Space Exploration : Leave the planet Quanoth and find out the cause of the impending apocalypse.]

Jake was taken aback when he received this sudden notification. At the beginning of the Ordeal, he had also attempted to fly out of Quanoth to get a broader view, but he hadn't received any assignments at the time. What had changed since the last time?

[Your strength and intent.] Xi answered matter-of-factly in his place.

Indeed, the main difference from before was that he was determined to reach the sun at any cost, whereas last time he had retreated at the first hurdle. Somehow, the Oracle System was able to sense his resolve.

Unless, this mission was too difficult for the old Jake and that showing it to him too soon would have caused him to devote his efforts to a nearly impossible mission, making him risk his life without reaping any benefit. Now that he had a reason to leave the planet, the Oracle had no reason to stop him.
