Everything we have heard so far plays off the fact that humanity knows next to nothing about the mysterious sphere that protects our City. Just what is the Traveler?
My question is, why haven't we tried to find answers? Last time I checked, we're a nosy race of human beings. We obviously have spacecraft, so what's keeping us from flying into the Traveler's interior? Shields? Automatic defenses? Some sort of repulsive magnetic field?
This question has been eating away at me for a while, so I wanted to see what you all think!

I'm willing to bet that we have tried finding answers, just we haven't been met with much success. Assuming we aren't bent on taking apart, cutting into or peeling apart the very thing that saved humanity that still leaves the open areas to explore into. It's possible there's some manner of barrier, some of the artwork has depicted the Traveler hovering over the city with the clouds pushed back in a radius around it. Personally I'm thinking we might have made small probes into it in an attempt to study it, commune with it or worship it (Cause lawlhumanity) in some manner. The fruits of such actions come in the manner of the warlocks, gifted in some manner by the Traveler with those crazy arcane powers. Being "gifted by the traveler" might be a bit less literal with it being more of a "gift" we got ourselves by poking and prodding it. Or maybe our new lord and master literally bequeathed some mortals with magic.
