>With all of our tools in our possession, would we be able to gap directly to Maribel?
>Theoretically yes. Realistically, it depends on what happens when you remove the Astrolabe.
>If the borders were to collapse would the strange rooty being be destroyed?
>It should be. Physical matter doesn't do so well when space collapses. However, much of this being isn't physical at all. You aren't sure if it can survive or not. It shouldn't, but some part of it clearly managed to exist before this whole mess began.
> Would it be possible to give this entity form?
>You don't know. It may be possible to place it within a vessel and give it autonomy over that vessel, but that may not be the same thing, nor might that satisfy its desires. Moreover, you aren't sure if it would be wise, given it is aggregate nature, let alone the destructive streak it possesses. There would definitely be more to it than simply making something for it to inhabit.
