For the hard puzzle,
>>5394181I genuinely would have accepted any vaguely justifiable imaginary magical explanation, but the one I embedded and also mentioned directly on the quest thread general was this one
>>5393694Ordnungssinn means Sense Of Order and it is one of the Prussian Virtues (from the qtg lore)
>>5375743If you look at the picture,
>>5393694it resembles the metal throat of Ordnungssinn, picture here
>>5393246>>5391416described as a hollow throat swallowing the Waters Of Death (yes, I imagine it like those Heighliner ships from the Dune films)
So if you linked Ordnungssinn, the Sense Of Order, which is coincidentally also the voidship mind controlling Gnadenfrei, the hovering death machine seraph drone, I would let you basically redirect it or teleport out etc or something along those lines. This is what the section here
>>5394892is alluding to, that some have discovered the means to traverse the Astral Sea, the Void and the Waters Of Death without the use of ships.
Hopefully this makes sense in a sci-fi context, but maybe it was a little too hard to imagine?
