The Right Stuff?

[%NAME], I'm glad you are here. Not one of the - let's say volunteers - that I have sent through the stones has returned. Perhaps you can succeed where they didn't. You're an Ascended, so you won't stay dead if anything goes wrong. I know that that sounds a bit callous, but as they say, "No pain, no gain." Could you cross to wherever the stones take you, then get some good readings with this device? We may be able to make use of these death traps, err, rather, these wonders of ancient magic!

[%NAME], you have got nerves of pure titanium. The data you have collected will be invaluable in deciphering the planar vectors involved with these stones. We are on the cusp of the greatest scientific and magical discovery in the last 80 years!
