Plan C... We'll have to man the station in their place. Set up rotating watches, see if we can find anyone with enough knowledge to monitor the Storm, or teach ourselves. If the Natha aren't here, we can't simply give up on their work. It's too important to us, and to the other worlds out there. Plan D is to see if we can find anyone with the right sort of locator or tracking spell that'll let us find out what happened up here, or at least someone who can who can break into their computer systems and help us identify anyone in stasis with the technical knowledge to help us run things, and then see if we can wake them up.
[ He pauses, then adds, a bit grimly: ]
I can keep going, but somewhere down the line we get to the plan where the Storm starts brewing in the sky. Then we clue in the natives on the planet and see what they can do to help us save this world. If the Natha don't show up again, it's something we may have to prepare for.
