# Main Story Questions
## Why has The Black Goat only appeared now in Mobius?
When the Bholaa ran from their planet they used the power of the chaos emeralds to warp to a new location. This location was far enough away from their old planet where The Black Goat was unable to locate them. When Snively cast the ancient spell to summon her he not only alerted her to the location of Mobius, which she is now heading towards, but opened up multidimensional rifts in space that allow her influence to spread around Mobius even without her full presence.
## Why is the general population of Mobius not alarmed by The Black Goat's spreading influence?
While The Black Goat has seen Mobius and is slowly infecting it with her influence with the help of the cult, she is still very far away and her powers are weak. There are only small hints here and there that there's anything wrong going on in Mobius. Additionally, with the attack on Robotropolis and the attacks on the colonies of the Acorn Kingdom many people are worried about war and Robotropolis is struggling to stay under control in the absense of Robotnik.
The rift that Snively opened up is not set in one place. Once opened, the rift shifted into another dimensions that's close to the dimension of Mobius. With a small amount of power it is now easy to summon The Black Goat and her influence covertly spreads with an almost direct link to the planet.
## What is The Square Eye that Tails saw approaching the portal and that the player saw while delirious in the woods after the attack on their settlement?
The eye of The Black Goat, slowly approaching the world of Mobius.
## Why is Tails searching for alternative options to the chaos emeralds?
During the summoning of The Black Goat the chaos emeralds were consumed by her and are now in the far reaches of space. Tails has been forced to look for alternative means of extreme power, and has been working with contacts on researching the dark crystals that are rumored to be as powerful as they are dangerous.
## Why can't Tails go to collect the dark crystals?
After the attack on Robotropolis to rescue Amy, the destruction caused by Snively summoning The Black Goat is mistaken as a terrorist attack by the Acorn Kingdom. While Knuckles has gone missing, Tails was seen racing away from the scene in a truck. If Tails leaves the kingdom it's likely he'll be attacked or assassinated, having already been the target of one assassination attempt.
## Where is Dark Crystal #1?
Inside Red Mt., being hoarded by a dragon who stole it from a Shades grave site far in the deep canyons.
## Where is Dark Crystal #2?
Embedded in a ceremonial necklace of a pygmy tribe in the Jungles, used to mark a sacrifice as the target of an ancient monster.
## Where is Dark Crystal #3?
In a lab hidden underneath an abandoned barn north of Miskatonic University. A student of the university has been kidnapping humans and mobians and using the power of the crystal to run experiments on forcing breeding between a human and a Mobian to be successful.
## What happened to the player's settlement?
After Snively disappeared during the summoning of The Black Goat, Violet decided to continue with the plan to corrupt the world with her influence. A month after the rift was opened between Mobius and the Void, Violet makes a test run of the corruption spell at the player's settlement. The settlement is chosen because it's isolated and small and weakly defended. She is easily able to summon the brood of the Goat to the settlement and they rip through most inhabitants, infesting them or devouring them before scattering off into the night. Only through dumb luck does the player and another settler survive. The player runs off into the woods and wanders around in a mad panic for days before being found and taken back to Acorn Castle, while the other settler wanders off into the desert and is being taken care of at Scorchview.
## How to break the rift between Mobius and The Void?
With the chaos emeralds destroyed, the player and Tails must collect the dark crystals, put them in the correct locations on the map, and then say the correct spell while The Rift is in the correct position as The Black Goat is trying to open it to its full size.
## What will happen if the rift isn't broken between Mobius and The Void?
The Black Goat will be able to fully open the rift between Mobius and The Void, allowing her to easily corrupt Mobius and bring the entire world under her darkness.
# Miskatonic Dark Crystal
## Why is Tails doing research through the University for power sources?
After the chaos emeralds were destroyed/disappeared Tails has been searching for alternative power sources or interesting and rare crystals that might have some kind of power similar to the chaos emeralds. He's hoping that maybe there are actually more than just the seven that they knew about already, or that maybe the emeralds will come back to Mobius on their own, or maybe that they were warped to somewhere else on Mobius instead of completely disappearing.
## How did Tails come in contact with the contact at the university?
When first researching alternative energy crystals he went to the Acorn Kingdom Library and wasn't able to find anything. He was referred to the Miskatonic Univeristy by a librarian there. Once in contact with the guy at Miskatonic University Tails came into the knowledge of old, forgotten information that the contact found through research of the ancient temples around the world.
