Pandora is a small inner satellite on a chaotic orbit, but its effect on transhumanity has been quite large, if also chaotic. The location of the [[Pandora Gate|original]] [[Pandora gates|Pandora Gate]], Pandora is one of most highly trafficked areas in the [[Saturn|Saturnian]] system. Firewall has documented this moon and its facilities more thoroughly elsewhere, but I will say this: everyone in the system keeps an eye on what goes on here. The [[Gatekeeper Corporation]] may have opened up the gate, sharing it with others throughout the system, and the [[Titanian Commonwealth|Titanians]] may still keep a grip on things, just in case, but there is plenty to worry about. A resource like the gate is something no one takes lightly. It could be an excuse for the [[Planetary Consortium|Consortium]] or even the [[Jovians]] to move in, in order to have tighter control over transhumanity and the solar system itself. It draws extremists and weirdos of every ﬂavor, from singularity seekers to exhumans to religious nutjobs. And then there’s always the possibility that some alien visitors might take it as open door right into our backyard, or perhaps the TITANs themselves might even show back up (wouldn’t it suck if they had gotten halfway across the galaxy and realized they had forgotten something on [[Iapetus]]?).
Even while Pandora concerns the hell out of us, it is also one of the most exciting things going on in our neighborhood. People come here seeking adventure and new beginnings, new mysteries are found that draw our attention, new life is discovered that shows us that we are not alone in the universe. So we cope with the fear and concentrate on the positive. It certainly gives us something to do.
