[21:33] * D. Kakaku [5 mm] begins climbing
[21:34] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> It's crystalline carbon-titanium laminate

[21:45] * Eliza McIntash peeps inside the Atrium.
[21:45] <Eliza McIntash> !!!!
[21:45] <D. Kakaku> [5 mm] oh wow. interesting.
[21:45] * Eliza McIntash looks at Alldrogis Valkyvida.
[21:45] *** Alldrogis Valkyvida is Inquisitor-Lord [Redacted] with his blur field shut down. He is actually an Allodon, a race of highly-advanced, exceptionally aggressive, and highly cunning draconid aliens with an extremely unique natural ability. His emerald green eyes gleam dimly.
His image Song is: "Forces" from the Berserk anime.
[21:46] <Eliza McIntash> Gah!
[21:46] *** Eliza McIntash has moved back to the Atrium
[21:46] * D. Kakaku [5 mm] keeps climbing
[21:46] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> Hmmm?
[21:46] <Eliza McIntash> I certainly didn't expect to see you in here.
[21:46] <Eliza McIntash> Sorry, I'm really jumpy. I'm looking for some friends of mine who've been missing a very long time. I cannot help but feel something bad has happened. >.<
[21:47] * Alldrogis Valkyvida appears humanoid, and is even carrying some pieces of human-engineered equipment. Other than that, his body show no indications of being organic beyond simple appearances.
[21:48] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> I think we're still caught inside a pocket dimension.
[21:48] <Eliza McIntash> - WHAAAAAT?!??? -
[21:48] <Eliza McIntash> !
[21:48] <Eliza McIntash> Wait.
[21:49] <Eliza McIntash> You don't refer to the inside of this TARDIS, who goes by the name Chateaux Concierge, and is kinda her own dimension?
[21:49] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> Something involving the Time Lords.
[21:49] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> No. Something has pulled the entire Solar system into a pocket dimension.
[21:49] * Eliza McIntash frowns and clenches her teeth. "I knew it. I KNEW IT." >.<
[21:49] <Eliza McIntash> Sakura is gone, Intern is gone, even Chateaux hasn't shown up. Paisley is gone. Xadium, gone. All of them with Time Lord blood are gone.
[21:50] <spiritflame> Eliza McIntash rolls 1d20 [ 18 ]
[21:50] <Eliza McIntash> ....
[21:50] <Eliza McIntash> OKay.
[21:50] <Eliza McIntash> Okay.
[21:50] <Eliza McIntash> So they are ogne.
[21:50] * Eliza McIntash doesn't lose her cool.
[21:50] <Eliza McIntash> Okay.
[21:50] <Eliza McIntash> But that doesn't mean that they cannot act, or that we cannot act.
[21:50] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> Not gone. Incapacitated, last I heard.
[21:50] * Eliza McIntash thinks to herself.
[21:51] <Eliza McIntash> What? Do you know where they are?
[21:51] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Paisley doesn't have Time Lord blood, Chateaux is being her usual delinquent self, and this isn't a "Time Lord" thing.
[21:51] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte has been meditating in the corner
[21:51] <Eliza McIntash> What the---who in the world are YOU?
[21:51] * Eliza McIntash looks at Sakura Amamiya Peinforte.
[21:51] *** Sakura Amamiya Peinforte is



More information about her is Here.
Her image Song is: Only One of Us Wins...Hopefully.
Sakura Amamiya Peinforte is an IRC Operator - Channel Administrator
[21:51] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> This is a "Galactic Census are arseholes and Oh, A Dark Eldritch Power is possibly on the verge of being unleashed" thing.
[21:52] <spiritflame> Eliza McIntash rolls 1d20 [ 8 ]
[21:52] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> I'm Sakura Amamiya Peinforte. No relation to the Peinfortes of this universe.
[21:52] * Eliza McIntash trembles for a moment, and wipes away a tear.
[21:52] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte sees her reaction and tries to console her
[21:52] <Eliza McIntash> You are not Sakura.
[21:52] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> The others are fine, I'm sure.
[21:53] <Eliza McIntash> Where is Sakura?
[21:53] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> The other Time Lords from here are safe, Eliza. Last I heard, they're unconscious.
[21:53] <Eliza McIntash> !!!!!!
[21:53] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> I am Sakura. Just not the Sakura you expected :P
[21:53] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> ...Do you just make things up as you go?
[21:53] * Eliza McIntash reflects for a moment. "Well, being unconscious is far from the worst thing in the world." <.<
[21:53] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Thye're not unconscious they're just not here.
[21:53] <Eliza McIntash> <.<
[21:53] <Eliza McIntash> >.>
[21:53] * Eliza McIntash looks back and forth between these two people.
[21:54] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> I'm only going on what I've heard most recently. Excuse me if I'm acting on incomplete data
[21:54] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> I suspect whatever larger forces are behind this have just found some way to move them off the chessboard for now, metaphorically speaking.
[21:54] * D. Kakaku [5 mm] jumps towards a plant.
[21:54] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> They've come at me once, as well.
[21:54] * Eliza McIntash looks for a moment at Sakura's clothing.
[21:55] <Eliza McIntash> Wha---who is "They?" And why you?
[21:55] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Btu since I rarely come here I don't hink they knew that to make of me.
[21:55] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Any why me what? Being a target?
[21:55] * Eliza McIntash nods!
[21:55] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Because I'm investigating
[21:55] <Eliza McIntash> Well, I'm going to investigate, too!
[21:55] *** D. Kakaku has moved back to the Atrium
[21:55] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> And I'm not sure who "They" are yet, except that they want access to Eldritch powers they should definitely have.
[21:55] <Eliza McIntash> Er... assuming... that the Time Lords need our help.
[21:55] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> ^definitely not have
[21:56] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Yeah I'm aTime Lord too, thanks.
[21:56] * Eliza McIntash looks over to where the Big Grocery was before, and checks if it is there.
[21:56] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> (What is with the Time Lord worship around here)
[21:56] * It's there, but unstaffed right now
[21:56] * Eliza McIntash frowns.
[21:57] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte cracks her neck slightly
[21:57] <Eliza McIntash> Oh, you are a Time Lord?
[21:57] <Eliza McIntash> Well, then, if you want my advice....
[21:57] <Eliza McIntash> er, sorry, you never said you did.
[21:57] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> No, do go on, you already started
[21:57] <Eliza McIntash> But the first step, if we don't want horrible things to get ahold of eldritch powers, is to either grab or destroy some of the stuff in that store right there.
[21:57] * Eliza McIntash looks at Big Grocery.
[21:57] *** Big Grocery is An amazing store where you can buy all manner of amazing goods, on the second level of the lobby, now UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT! More information about Here.
image Song is: 0.
[21:58] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> ...
[21:58] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte laughs
[21:58] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> That stuff is as nothing compared to what I mean
[21:58] <Eliza McIntash> I'm serious! Horrible beings have been empowered by it before! Bu---what DO you mean, then?
[21:58] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> I'm talking about a power so strong it bent space enough to seal away four planets.
[21:58] * Eliza McIntash listens.
[21:59] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Or more correctly, something so wrong it took a force that strong to seal it.
[21:59] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> ^strong
[21:59] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> And now someone / something is trying to break that seal
[21:59] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> Because of the planets themselves, or WHO was living on those planets?
[21:59] <Eliza McIntash> ...or WHAT.
[21:59] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Teh guardians of the planets possessed a unique power
[21:59] * Eliza McIntash frowns again, still looking at the Big Grocery.
[22:00] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> They used it to create the seal and in the process locked themselves and whatever it was that was threanening to come through, away
[22:00] <Eliza McIntash> Guardians? You mean Sailor Senshi?
[22:00] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Yes, I believe they were called "Aegis Senshi"
[22:00] <spiritflame> Eliza McIntash rolls 1d20 [ 3 ]
[22:00] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> and had some historical connection to Quinox.
[22:00] <Eliza McIntash> Never heard of that.
[22:00] <Eliza McIntash> Heard of THAT, though.
[22:01] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Yes well nor had I till I started digging.
[22:01] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> We're all learning together!
[22:01] <Eliza McIntash> Great, that reminds me that I haven't seen Matsumi for weeks, either. Then again, I've mostly been off doing things inside Chateaux.
[22:01] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte>
[22:01] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> She's about somewhere
[22:01] <Eliza McIntash> You say you are a Time Lord...
[22:01] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte has realised ever since staying here longer than a day she has really become quite cheeky
[22:01] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Yes?
[22:02] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> What of it?
[22:02] <Eliza McIntash> Okay, so let me skip asking you to prove it for a moment, and ask this---do you think the Time Lords who frequent this place are in danger?
[22:02] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte goes over to a vending machine and gets some bitter coffee
[22:02] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> My friend, we are all in danger.
[22:02] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte sips
[22:02] * Eliza McIntash sighs. "That... was going to be my NEXT question." v_v
[22:03] <Eliza McIntash> The other Time Lords... do you know where they are?
[22:03] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte shrugs
[22:03] <Eliza McIntash> Some of them, I'm really close to.
[22:03] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Somewhere, I auppose
[22:03] * Eliza McIntash nods.
[22:03] <Eliza McIntash> And Chateaux, you say, isn't answering.
[22:03] <Eliza McIntash> Well, shouting and pleading and freaking out won't change that.
[22:04] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte taps her sonic shades and checks
[22:04] <Eliza McIntash> And it might not be up to her, anyway, not really.
[22:04] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Oh she was drugged up with some potent weed a while back and is still sleeping it off
[22:04] * Eliza McIntash 's expression starts to change, slowly and then very suddenly.
[22:04] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> ...Special Blend?
[22:04] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Yes that's it
[22:04] <Eliza McIntash> I might have a message from the Time Lords, or from Chateaux...
[22:04] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> It hit her THAT hard?
[22:04] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> ¯\(º_o)/¯
[22:05] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Well if there was a message I'm sure it would have been left at the front desk?
[22:05] <Eliza McIntash> Yes, but there's another place it could be, too.
[22:05] <Eliza McIntash> Still, let me check the front desk, first. I'm sure that's what she'd want.
[22:05] <D. Kakaku> hmm?
[22:06] * Eliza McIntash checks the Front Desk.
[22:06] <Eliza McIntash> >.>
[22:06] <Eliza McIntash> <.<
[22:08] <Eliza McIntash> I... am not seeing anything here.
[22:08] <Eliza McIntash> Granted, I'm not the best at looking.
[22:09] <Eliza McIntash> Okay, well, there's something that they could have used to contact me specifically, and they KNOW I'd listen to it sooner or later, and might have arranged for a message to be left before it is too late. I havent' relied on them, but... maybe now they can help out.
[22:09] * Eliza McIntash pulls out her headphones.
[22:09] * Eliza McIntash blinks and takes a deep breath.
[22:09] * Eliza McIntash has moved to: [ Headphones ]
[22:09] * Eliza McIntash [Headphones] sits, very quietly, with her eyes closed, and listens.
[22:09] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> Recommendations on how to proceed from here?
[22:10] * Thrash [Monitor] CRASHES through one of the doors
[22:10] *** Thrash has moved back to the Atrium
[22:10] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> <__<
[22:10] <Eliza McIntash> [Headphones] I think I did hear something, like a small crash or thud....
[22:11] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Well, this weekend I am going to antartica along with Frey to investigate a location of interest.
[22:11] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> Hello there, Mr Thrash. You're always welcome to drop in anytime
[22:11] <D. Kakaku> whaa?
[22:11] <Thrash> ugh bloody...
[22:11] * Eliza McIntash [Headphones] opens her eyes and sees that Thrash smashed his way through the building (that she cares about! D:)
[22:11] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> Are there other locations of interest that should be investigated?
[22:11] * Thrash crashed through the door leading to The Manor
[22:11] * Eliza McIntash [Headphones] looks up. "I mean, I guess that means she's investigating for sure, then."
[22:12] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> Sakura, you mentioned a place in Antarctica. Can you describe it?
[22:12] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Not right now, this is the primary one
[22:12] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte points to a location on a holomap labelled "The Mountains of Madness"
[22:12] <Eliza McIntash> [Headphones] I did hear something. Like a far away crash. Maybe it was pre-recorded.
[22:13] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> ...I know a little of this place, but the information is largely conjecture.
[22:13] * Eliza McIntash [Headphones] looks at what Sakura is showing on the map. She looks at it.
[22:13] <D. Kakaku> hmm?
[22:13] <D. Kakaku> [[crash?
[22:13] <D. Kakaku> (*^)
[22:14] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> If it's the same place I know of, it would be one of the outpost-cities of an ancient race called the Elder Things, and their creations, the Shoggoths.
[22:15] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Yes I've done the reading
[22:15] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> thankfully my brain is largely immune to the madness effect one would encounter in such places
[22:15] <Eliza McIntash> [Headphones] Uh... I cannot hear what you are... uh...
[22:15] *** Eliza McIntash has moved back to the Atrium
[22:15] * Eliza McIntash removes her headphones.
[22:16] <Eliza McIntash> Well, there were some distractions, but maybe one of them left me a message. I'll check later.
[22:16] * Thrash dashes to a place where he's hidden books and pulls out al arge one
[22:16] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte quickly recaps for Eliza
[22:16] <Eliza McIntash> OH. I should tell them that I'm going to check.
[22:16] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> (Millennials and their headphones I swear)
[22:16] <Eliza McIntash> Oh WOAH, why is THAT a point of interest?
[22:16] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> In other temporal echoes, the "Mountains of Madness" have also wound up being the lost cities of ancient aliens. Sometimes its been an industrial-scale geomancy site.
[22:16] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Because that's where the enemy is going.
[22:17] <Eliza McIntash> ....
[22:17] <Eliza McIntash> Do you need help?
[22:17] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Thus I must go there as well
[22:17] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> In one Alternate Earth it was actually a hidden stronghold of the Nazis who survived the Second World War.
[22:17] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> ...are you capable of looking eldritch beings in the face and retaining your sanity?
[22:17] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> If so, then your help is welcome
[22:17] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> if not, then I thank you, but no.
[22:17] <Eliza McIntash> I don't know. I was always fuzzy on the amount of sanity I have.
[22:18] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> Technically I AM an eldritch being.
[22:18] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Then it's probably better to sit this one out.
[22:18] <Eliza McIntash> What if I'm not looking at them or listening to them, though?
[22:18] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> That might give you SOME protection, Eliza.
[22:18] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> But not as much as you think it would.
[22:19] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> If you're not looking or listening to things, wouldn't your ability to interact with other aspects of the expedition be reduced?
[22:19] <Eliza McIntash> Yes.
[22:19] <Eliza McIntash> But what if i don't have a brain to go insane?
[22:19] <Eliza McIntash> Like, just hypothetically, what if I were incapable of losing my mind and wits? Would you want help then?
[22:19] <Eliza McIntash> I'd also be incapable of hurting anyone.
[22:20] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> Their danger revolves around them essentially being Reality Warpers. Their presence violates the "Rules of Nature" as you perceive them, and the knowledge that those "Rules" don't apply is what causes sanity to break down.
[22:20] <Eliza McIntash> Assuming one has sanity to break down, sure.
[22:20] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Yes, you'd be helpful then
[22:20] <Eliza McIntash> Oh.
[22:20] <Eliza McIntash> Well.
[22:20] <Eliza McIntash> Just a minute.
[22:20] <Eliza McIntash> I'll be back.
[22:20] * Eliza McIntash rushes away.
[22:20] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte is not phased by the notion that Headphoens Girl doesn't have a brain
[22:22] * Several alarms can be heard going off.
[22:22] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> Is there anyone else you'd like the assistance of for this trip?
[22:22] *** A car swerves outside.
[22:22] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte smacks herself for having rude thoughts
[22:22] * Alldrogis Valkyvida tries to ascertain the source of the alarms.
[22:22] * Thrash is giong through a large book
[22:22] <D. Kakaku> What the?
[22:22] *** Liza Sunrise-Suminaka [Liza.Sunrise-Suminaka@CastleMkLVISatUplink] has joined #suburbansenshi2
[22:22] <@spiritflame> konbanwa Liza Sunrise-Suminaka
[22:22] * D. Kakaku looks out the door
[22:22] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Erm, Yes, with the caveats I just started
[22:23] *** The alarms are sounding through the area of TOKYO that is under Chateaux's autonomous control, but they have stopped now.
[22:23] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> Like I said, I have no problem dealing with eldritch creatures. I've dealt with all kinds over the last 200000 years
[22:23] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka [Profoundly Unconscious] teleports into the room. "Good evening everyone!" ^_^
[22:23] *** Liza Sunrise-Suminaka has moved back to the Atrium
[22:23] * Alldrogis Valkyvida waves to Liza
[22:24] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Hello Liza
[22:24] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka (and her big armorsuit) wave back!
[22:24] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> And to many I technically AM an eldritch abomination myself.
[22:24] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Hello Amamiya! ^_^
[22:24] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> So you said
[22:24] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Oh, I'm sorry, did I interrupt something? Unlucky timing, perhaps, but I can scoot if you were in a conversation.
[22:24] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> No, it's fine
[22:24] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> Also Sakura, are you all right?
[22:25] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> (I'm sure your quit will gas you any moement now)
[22:25] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Hmm? JJust a bit tetchy
[22:25] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka looks around, and her cameras can be heard clicking. There is a flash or two as they point around the room.
[22:25] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> You're fine, Liza. You haven't interrupted anything.
[22:25] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Rest has been hard to come by lately.
[22:25] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka turns to Alldrogis. "Oh, well thank you. "
[22:26] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka turns to Amamiya "Well, you know, there are ways you could get help with that." ^_^
[22:26] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> Amamiya, have you been able to perform any advance recon on the Mountains of Madness yet?
[22:26] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> No, I haven't left yet.
[22:27] <D. Kakaku> what's outside?
[22:27] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> In fact if that's a way you'd like to help that would be appreciated
[22:27] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte shows on the map the hidden path she's supposed to take
[22:27] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> I can do that. In fact, I can do even better.
[22:27] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Er, were you talking to me? ^_^
[22:28] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Ah, you meant you wanted him to give you advance reconnaissance.
[22:28] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Yes
[22:28] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> For a momemt, it seemed like you meant that helping you rest would be appreciated. Sorry. ^_^
[22:28] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> Since Solarchos Langister is here, that means his flagship is ALSO here in stationary orbit over Tokyo.
[22:28] * Thrash is silently paging through
[22:29] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> The Defender of Cadia herself.
[22:29] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> I apprciate it but... THRASH! QWhat are you doing there, sir?
[22:30] * Alldrogis Valkyvida starts sending messages, calling for the Cadia to reposition over Antarctica to begin scanning the area of the Mountains from orbit.
[22:30] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka doesn't interrupt.
[22:30] *** The Castle Mk LVI detects some of these messages.
[22:30] * Alldrogis Valkyvida points to Amamiya's holomap. "May I?"
[22:31] *** The Castle Mk LVI remote alerts Sakura Amamiya Peinforte that it's detected the transmissions and is about to introduce isoflurane to Liza's breathing circuit.
[22:32] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> @_@
[22:32] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka 's eyelids flutter.
[22:32] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka has moved to: [ gassed unconscious ]
[22:32] *** The Castle Mk LVI remote assures Sakura Amamiya Peinforte that she may conduct her preparations without fear.
[22:32] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> Link your holomap to this frequency and you'll be able to receive instantaneous sensor scans and updates of the entire continent.
[22:33] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte does so
[22:33] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> That includes scans along the entire electromagnetic spectrum AND multiphasic.
[22:34] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Thank you, let's see if anything comes up, shall we?
[22:34] *** The floor shakes a tiny bit.
[22:34] *** ELIZA Mk I has joined #suburbansenshi2
[22:34] <@spiritflame> konbanwa ELIZA Mk I
[22:34] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> The Defender of Cadia is NOT an Explorator vessel, so her sensors aren't designed for deep space exploration. But she DOES have something you might need in a dangerous situation.
[22:35] * ELIZA Mk I leaps into the room.
[22:35] *** ELIZA Mk I has joined #suburbansenshi2
[22:35] <@spiritflame> konbanwa ELIZA Mk I
[22:35] <D. Kakaku> huh?
[22:35] <ELIZA Mk I> Greetings! I am here to assist you! ^_^
[22:35] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> (now there are two of them)
[22:35] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte waves
[22:35] * Thrash is completely ignoring everyone and looking up different stone circles in the UK
[22:35] * ELIZA Mk I is not in a huge armorsuit. She looks like a person---see for yourself!
[22:36] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> Precision orbital bombardment with terrawatt-intensity beam-cannons.
[22:36] * D. Kakaku turns around and looks at Eliza Mk I
[22:36] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> And a particularly-irrational shipboard AI with access to nanomorph technology.
[22:36] <ELIZA Mk I> Terrawatt-intensity is a considerable power level. ^_^
[22:37] <ELIZA Mk I> You pointed out that you could use assistance from a person who is incapable of being irrational. I wanted you to know that this body that was created for me should be able to do exactly that. :D
[22:37] <ELIZA Mk I> I'll just park here, listening, and you can address me at your liesure. :)
[22:38] * Thrash pulls out ap iece of paper and starts to trace them
[22:38] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> In the meantime, I must go for now.
[22:38] <ELIZA Mk I> PLease take care!
[22:38] * Sakura Amamiya Peinforte looks at ELIZA Mk I.
[22:38] *** ELIZA Mk I is , apparently, Eliza McIntash, and looks exactly like her in every way.
Her image Song is: .
[22:38] *** Alldrogis Valkyvida [Inquisitor [REDACTED]@FedCom.net] has left #suburbansenshi2
[22:38] * D. Kakaku looks at Eliza Mk I.
[22:38] *** Eliza Mk I is , apparently, Eliza McIntash, and looks exactly like her in every way.
Her image Song is: .
[22:38] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> A teleprescence suit?
[22:39] <ELIZA Mk I> I certainly own't correct you. I mentioned before that problem about questionable mental stability, and to help me be able to live without fear, my dearest, dearest friends and family created this alternate body for me. ^_^
[22:40] <ELIZA Mk I> I feel overwhelmingly confident in assuring you that this embodiment is incapable of psychological breakdown, as am I, while my consciousness inhabits it. ^_^
[22:41] <D. Kakaku> looks neat
[22:41] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Then if that's the case, you'd be most helpful!
[22:42] <ELIZA Mk I> Thank you so much. I'm very glad that their work can allow me to assist you. I certainly wish to do my best, as The Intern, and Sakura, and Chateaux, and many others have taught me. I'll admit that the subroutines and linkage softward that affect behavioral regulation do have minor effects on me, but you can count on me while I wear this. And, if there are side effects, there are ways to handle them easily.
[22:43] <ELIZA Mk I> Please note that I will not harm anyone. ^_^
[22:43] <ELIZA Mk I> This body was created to do battle with sinister, world shattering personages. It's quite resilient, and in an emergency, you may consider it expendable.
[22:44] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Then it sounds like it was tailor-made for this sort of emergency.
[22:44] * ELIZA Mk I bows politely. ^_^
[22:44] <ELIZA Mk I> Natuarlly, I would prefer not to subjectively experience destruction, as the transition back to my physical body could be so jarring as to preferably be preventable.
[22:45] <ELIZA Mk I> However...
[22:45] <ELIZA Mk I> Chateaux helped me, and I want to help others, and I want to use this to do it. If Intern or Sakura or somebody wanted me not to, they should have said something before they were incapacitated.
[22:45] <D. Kakaku> hmmm?
[22:46] <ELIZA Mk I> Naturally, I will check my physical and psychological link with them in the time before your departure.
[22:46] <ELIZA Mk I> Oh, but..... yes, perhaps...
[22:46] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> ...how could thehy have said something to you before if they were caught unawares?
[22:47] <ELIZA Mk I> Yes, I'm working on that! ^_^
[22:48] *** There is a bright flash, and when it recedes, the information about this conversation, this emergency, and the fact that Eliza (in her body) will listen for their advice on her headphones upstairs, which they can leave in the future, and ask Chateaux to play in the past, which is designated subjectively as 6/03/2026, when she will begin listening on the headphones for messages and advice.
[22:49] <ELIZA Mk I> There. Now, I can listen for their messages as I relax in my sequestration rig upstairs, safe in the knowledge that, when we rescue them, they can give warnings and advice later. ^_^
[22:49] <ELIZA Mk I> Do you mind a further query, miss?
[22:50] * ELIZA Mk I walks closer, walking without comment around the gigantic armorsuit that holds an anesthetized Liza.
[22:50] * Thrash closes the book and then leaves through the door as before
[22:50] *** Thrash has left #suburbansenshi2
[22:51] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> ...Thanks fo rthe help, Thrash :P
[22:51] <ELIZA Mk I> Do you consider the odds substantial that this body I inhabit might be destroyed if I accompany you? ^_^
[22:51] <ELIZA Mk I> ---have a good evening, Lord Thrash!
[22:51] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> I can't answer honestly as I don't know what awaits us.
[22:52] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Though I assume if the likes of Intern and Chat have designed this for you, it must be incredibly surable.
[22:52] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> ^durable
[22:52] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte scans it with her Sonic Shades
[22:52] <ELIZA Mk I> I only ask because of the caution and contingencies I have in mind.
[22:52] <ELIZA Mk I> I know that leaving this body and suddenly feeling emotion can be jarring.
[22:53] <ELIZA Mk I> It is my hope that they can back up my consciousness in some way, or eliminate the records of what I have experienced from this body, in case it is proof against them only while I am here.
[22:53] <ELIZA Mk I> If not...
[22:54] * ELIZA Mk I takes a convincing facsimile of a deep breath, "If not, I go forward knowing that I am safely restrained and securely held by the being I love and trust the most, and that she has cured me of mental illness before.
[22:55] <ELIZA Mk I> If experiencing destruction once, for the sake of all the people I hold dear, is inevitable, I will merely consider it practice. I have had a wonderful life here, thanks to the charity I have received from others.
[22:55] <ELIZA Mk I> If I only suffer after I return to my body, Chateaux will be there to help me.
[22:56] <ELIZA Mk I> ....
[22:56] <ELIZA Mk I> Doing further analysis, I belive that I either subconsciously desired, predicted, or was predetermined to take this course of action, given the strong circumstantial evidence.
[22:56] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Oh?
[22:56] * ELIZA Mk I gives a contemplative look.
[22:58] * ELIZA Mk I nods. "Indeed. I cared greatly about being in physical contact with those headphones, which I knew could be used to intercede. The absolute trust and happiness I felt when Chateaux restrained me were the times I felt safest, and when Chateaux manifested my subconscious, it created a room which was designed to erase memories of the person within."
[22:58] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> (That's certainly a.... thing)
[22:58] <ELIZA Mk I> I would often ask my Time Lord acquaintences if they wished my help, and assured them that I was willing to help whether I remembered it or not.
[22:59] <ELIZA Mk I> It is entirely possible that I have done so repeatedly, but remember nothing. That thought does not concern me in the slightest. ^_^
[23:00] <ELIZA Mk I> I often worried, and had good reason to worry, that I would succumb to severe psychological conditions when I was in my physical body. I did, in fact.
[23:01] <ELIZA Mk I> I see, upon reflection, that my desire for emotional suppression and feeling the immenent presence of an intercessor I trusted is far outside of human norms. I did request that this body would allow me to not feel fear and dread and terror. I stand before you fearless of where we must go.
[23:01] <ELIZA Mk I> I have no doubt of the handiwork of my loved ones. ^_^
[23:02] <ELIZA Mk I> Do you have any questions you need to direct to me, or need my services at this time?
[23:02] * ELIZA Mk I smiles, serenely. ^_^
[23:03] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Right now I think we're all right, just os you know I plan to make my expedition this weekend.
[23:03] <ELIZA Mk I> But of course. ^_^
[23:04] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> If you can make it, I'll look forward to journeying with you
[23:05] <ELIZA Mk I> Thank you for your kind words. As you are a Time Lord, and prospective hero attemtping to save the people of this world from dark forces and imprisonment, I am honored to be your Companion. As you have no need of me at this time, I shall retreat to the chamber where my physical body is restrained, exit this mechanical body to engage in contemplation, and await the intercession or guidance of Chateaux or my friends. I will be here to assist you, unless I am given a message that they wish for me to stay behind. ^_^
[23:05] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Good night, then~
[23:06] <ELIZA Mk I> Good night!
[23:06] * ELIZA Mk I leaves the Atrium, and swiftly transports herself to the suddenly-very-conveniently-located sealed chamber where her physical body lies.
[23:07] * ELIZA Mk I goes over to where Eliza McIntash is strapped to her restraint bed, again, and checks that the headphones are secure on her head.
[23:07] <ELIZA Mk I> ^_^
[23:07] * ELIZA Mk I disengages the possession.
[23:07] * ELIZA Mk I is now known as Eliza McIntash
[23:08] <spiritflame> Eliza McIntash rolls 1d20 [ 6 ]
[23:09] * Eliza McIntash cannot keep the tears out of her eyes. T_T
[23:09] <Eliza McIntash> It's okay, Chateaux. You dont' have to answer. I'm on my way. I'm coming to help. You taught me well.
[23:10] * Eliza McIntash looks up at the room, reminding herself that she's looking at Chateaux now.
[23:10] <spiritflame> Eliza McIntash rolls 1d20 [ 10 ]
[23:10] <Eliza McIntash> I think I know how you feel. I love you.
[23:10] * Eliza McIntash closes her eyes.
[23:10] * @Chateaux Concierge is sprawled out on a sofa somewhere taking hits off a bong and eatching Telenovelas
[23:11] * Eliza McIntash 's faith is undiminished, and she eventually settles, peacefully and with certainty, into her restraints to sleep.
[23:11] *** Eliza McIntash [0] has quit IRC (A childhood spent being loved is the greatest of all treasures.)
[23:11] <@Chateaux Concierge> Oh Ricardo, she no good for you, it's all fake anyway. The Señora is the one you want
[23:12] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> (Wow this TARDIS has a cult)
[23:13] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte has only ever heard of this one other time when a malfunctioning chameleon circuit caused one to be worshipped as a shape-changing pagan god
[23:14] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte sips her coffee
[23:15] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> (I was there when this TARDIS swallowed a city whole... where is she going to go from here?)
[23:18] * It's quiet
[23:19] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte meditates on the stillness
[23:21] *** roll 1d10
[23:21] <spiritflame> @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte rolls 1d10 [ 2 ]
[23:23] *** it's one of those nights that nothing happens
[23:26] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte sighs
[23:28] *** the silence perhaps can help one reflect
[23:28] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte reflects, if she reflected anymore she'd be blinding light
[23:35] <Amelie Bouregard-Hashime> troubled?
[23:35] * Amelie Bouregard-Hashime offers Sakura a cup of coffee
[23:35] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> A bit...
[23:35] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte gratefully accepts
[23:35] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> A lot of... invasive thoughts.
[23:35] * D. Kakaku yawns a bit.
[23:35] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Thoughts that atren't mine.
[23:35] *** Sakura, you're in the cafe
[23:36] <Amelie Bouregard-Hashime> perhaps if you wish to share it
[23:36] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte has moved to: [ Cafe ]
[23:36] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte has moved to: [ Cafe, Paris ]
[23:37] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Cafe, Paris] does her bes tot describe the various visions she's had over the past little while
[23:37] <Amelie Bouregard-Hashime> interesting
[23:37] <Amelie Bouregard-Hashime> what do you think of them
[23:40] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Cafe, Paris] The first one,,, with the man in Yellow... I understand that all too well, it's a curse iupon my bloodline.
[23:41] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Cafe, Paris] The others... are vistas I 've never seen... perhaps prohechy, but I can't tell
[23:41] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Cafe, Paris] My mind isn't clear... as clear as it should be
[23:41] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Cafe, Paris] I wonder if it's my human side playing up.
[23:42] <Amelie Bouregard-Hashime> perhaps
[23:44] <Amelie Bouregard-Hashime> perhaps not
[23:44] <Amelie Bouregard-Hashime> maybe
[23:44] <Amelie Bouregard-Hashime> or maybe not
[23:44] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Cafe, Paris] hmm?
[23:45] * Amelie Bouregard-Hashime just sips of her coffee
[23:46] *** has joined #suburbansenshi2

[23:47] <@spiritflame> konbanwa The Magistra
[23:48] *** Magistra, you probably can spot Sakura there, sitting on a sofa or chair or whatever
[23:50] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Cafe, Paris] , for her part, is completely mentally in Paris
[23:51] * Amelie Bouregard-Hashime is gone
[23:51] *** Amelie Bouregard-Hashime has left #suburbansenshi2
[23:51] *** Sakura you're back in the room
[23:52] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte has moved to: [ ]
[23:52] *** @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte has moved back to the Atrium
[23:52] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte opens her eyes, takes off her shades for a moment, rubs her eyes, then puts them back on
[23:53] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> This is all very surreal.
[23:53] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte spots Magistra
[23:53] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Hello there
[23:53] <The Magistra> (Hmm? Where have I seen her before? No seen Isn't quite right...)
[23:54] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte said that in a very Obi-Wan way
[23:54] <The Magistra> Hello! I don't think we've been introduced
[23:54] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> You're the one from Earth -3400, right?
[23:55] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> The name's Sakura Amamiya Peinforte (no relationt to the Peinfortes of this Universe)
[23:55] <The Magistra> Yes but also no. My mom is from there, but my dad is from the Gallifrey of this universe.
[23:56] <The Magistra> So I call both universes home
[23:57] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Must be nice, being able to have two universes to call home.
[23:57] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> I'm a bit of an anomaly, so I have none.
[23:58] <The Magistra> Eh. It's also a pain.
[00:00] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte is not sure how to the small talk, so offers Magistra some rich, black coffee
[00:03] * The Magistra accepts "So no relation to the Peinfortes of this universe? That's both a relief and disappointment, since you're not related to my sister then"
[00:04] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Who's your sister?
[00:10] <The Magistra> Kaelyn
[00:11] <The Magistra> We're half-sisters technically.
[00:11] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Oh! Kaelyn's nice.
[00:11] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> She's fallen off the map lartely though... as have so many in the course of investigating this thing.
[00:12] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> I wonder where they've all gone, but for some reason I'm not owrried
[00:12] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> like some instinct ttells me they'll be all right.
[00:15] * The Magistra sets her drink down. "I've been busy with my own thing, but now you have me worried"
[00:16] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Fair... I suppose I am just too focused on the dark eldritch Thing that must Not Be Released.
[00:19] <The Magistra> The what now?
[00:19] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte , for the Second Time Today, Explains
[00:19] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> So... a long time ago in history
[00:20] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> There was this Great Evil™
[00:20] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> it was so great, in fact, that it threatened to invade and destroy our reality
[00:20] <The Magistra> So evil they trademarked it? Yikes
[00:20] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> To stop it from doing so, four Sailor Senshi from worlds in the vicinity of Quinox - The Aegis Senshi - sacrifced themselves and sealed them selves away with it
[00:21] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> they and their planets vanished, forming a seal in time and space to lock this thing in
[00:21] <The Magistra> That would explain why I've never heard of them
[00:22] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> the Galactic Census came by, noticed the missing worlds, were annoyed at the paperwork discripancy and sealed us in a pocket universe a few weeks ago
[00:22] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> but that's not the problem
[00:22] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> the problem is enemies unknown want to breach the seal
[00:22] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> and if they do that we're all... what's the phrase the Americans use? Oh yeah. Turbo f[BLEEP]ked.
[00:23] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> So I and a few others who can withsstand Eldritch madness need to go down to the Mountains of MAdness this weekend and try to interdict them if possible,
[00:23] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte exhales and sips some more ocffee
[00:24] <The Magistra> Hmmm.
[00:28] <The Magistra> if only we had an Alter Ego or Foreigner in the database
[00:32] <The Magistra> , where would you even find a catalyst for those?
[00:35] <The Magistra> Ughhhhhh
[00:35] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Hmm?
[00:38] <The Magistra> I lead an organization that specializes in the summoning of heros from human history. There is a Extra class that deals with those that exist outside the domain of human history (IE those touched by old gods) but I don't have any recorded for use
[00:42] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> That's irritating~
[00:48] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte falls alseep from lack of rest, once again troubled by visions
[00:48] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte is away 
[00:49] <The Magistra> Huh. She fell asleep.
[00:49] <The Magistra> Seems like she needs it
[22:37] *** several alarms sound in Tokyo...
[22:37] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka [gassed unconscious] slowwwwly awakens.
[22:37] *** Liza Sunrise-Suminaka has moved back to the Atrium
[22:38] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka drowsily looks around.
[22:38] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> >.>
[22:38] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> <.<
[22:38] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Mmmm?
[22:38] * It's quiet -
[22:39] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I sure hope that things are going well for everyone. ^_^
[22:40] *** D. Kakaku has joined #suburbansenshi2
[22:40] <@spiritflame> konbanwa D. Kakaku
[22:40] * D. Kakaku walks downstairs.
[22:41] <D. Kakaku> evening
[22:41] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I'll have to make sure to speak to that nice Time Lady again, and ask what she thinks of the place. I wonder if she has come to the conclusions that I have? ^_^
[22:41] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Oh---hello there! ^_^
[22:42] <D. Kakaku> how's it going?
[22:44] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I'm not sure yet, but I have no reason not to be optimistic!
[22:44] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> ^_^
[22:45] <D. Kakaku> that's good
[22:47] <D. Kakaku> wonder what's going on out there
[22:48] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Hmmm?
[22:49] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I've been having a nice rest, so I don't know what you mean, but I'm hopeful that the Time Lords and Chateaux will handle it.
[22:49] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Of course, we'll help them as much as we are able. ^_^
[22:50] <D. Kakaku> well, I meant outside
[22:50] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> From here, and remotely, of course, as no matter how observant and helpful I've been trained to be to serve as a Companion, I don't have any supernatural influence that could be leveraged in this kind of situation.
[22:51] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Well, now that you mention it, taking another set of readings certainlyt couldn't hurt, could it? ^_^
[22:51] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> The situation could still be changing.
[22:51] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I think this is not the best place to take a look through the telescope, but I'll get off to investigating.
[22:51] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> ^_^
[22:51] * D. Kakaku looks out the window
[22:51] <D. Kakaku> alright then
[22:53] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I might be able to persuade my Inner Chateaux, who I'm sybmiotically linked with now, to cook you some breakfast to go with mine, if you want?
[22:53] <D. Kakaku> oh? heh, sure
[22:54] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> It might be safe for you to hang around for at least that long, I think, but it would be wisest to head off relatively soon as things pick up.
[22:54] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Okay, lets' head off then. ^_^
[22:54] <D. Kakaku> alright then
[22:54] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka is away: Watch out for sudden holes and falling objects, okay?
[22:54] * D. Kakaku is away: okay, and where is this area?
[19:01] * Frey and Freya are having a proper cat fight in the atrium
[19:28] <Frey> GET OFF MY BACK
[19:28] <Freya> THERE YOU GO..ALWAYS THINKING ABOUT YOURSELF AND NOBODY ELSE!!!!
[19:29] <Joey Styles> ♦ Catfight! CATFIGHT
[19:30] *** Pinako [Cookies@Cookies.Cookies :D] has joined #suburbansenshi2
[19:30] <@spiritflame> konbanwa Pinako
[19:34] <Pinako> Hi
[19:36] * Freya and Frey are too busy fighting to notice Pinako
[19:37] * Pinako looks at the catfish, perplexed
[19:38] * Pinako *Catfight
[19:50] * Freya and Frey SMACK each other across the face!!!
[19:58] * Freya is knocked out @_@
[19:58] * Frey cathces his breath...
[19:58] * Frey is now known as Frey Felinus
[19:59] * Frey Felinus moves his sister to a nearby pillow
[20:05] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> NO DON'T SMOTHER HER
[20:05] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Whatever the reasonf or this violence it can be worked out!
[20:08] <Pinako> What is going on here?!
[20:08] <Frey Felinus> ..I'm not smothering her
[20:08] <Frey Felinus> she tried to stop me
[20:09] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte looks over at her prone body and the pillow
[20:09] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Just because she tried to stop you don't mean you had to stop her too
[20:09] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> there's still time to avoid doing something you'll regret for the rest of your life
[20:12] <Frey Felinus> she's fine
[20:12] <Frey Felinus> .....I was exiled for being a mad man..how much worse can my life get
[20:14] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Oh I don't know, you can find out your entire universe and history was uncreated in the span of less than a femtoseconfd and you become a wanter lost in the fourth dimension for all eternity.
[20:15] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> ^wanderer
[20:15] <Frey Felinus> ......you have issues, don't you
[20:16] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Everyone and everything you ever knew and loved never actually happened anf you only exxist because you happened to have an incredibly ancient Time Lord articfact at the --- you think?
[20:16] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> My friend I have the entire subscription and back catalogue.
[20:17] <Frey Felinus> I take it this place is cold
[20:19] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> There is something of a chill
[20:21] <Frey Felinus> hm
[20:22] <Pinako> .... uhmmm
[20:24] * Frey Felinus goes to find winter gear
[20:24] <Pinako> where are you heading?
[20:28] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Antarctica
[20:28] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> To a place that will dirve the unprepared mad.
[20:41] * Frey Felinus returns with a fur coat
[20:42] <Pinako> let me know if you see a village there
[20:45] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> All right.
[20:45] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte turns to Frey
[20:45] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> A girl named Eliza McIntash offered her help on this expedition as well
[20:45] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> I think we should wait for her before setting out.
[20:47] * Frey Felinus nods
[20:52] <Frey Felinus> so do you actually have ANY idea on where we're going
[20:52] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte shows him the map she was provided
[20:52] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Here.
[20:56] * Frey Felinus looks over the map
[20:56] <Frey Felinus> so why is this suppose to drive people crazy?
[20:57] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Human brains aren't weired to percieve the hgiher-order dimensions these beings inhabit.
[20:57] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> ^wired
[20:57] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> It drives them insane.
[20:58] <Pinako> what about Youma brains?
[20:58] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Only the rare genius or idiot tends to withstand the effects.
[20:58] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> ...I have no idea how the youma brain is wired.
[21:04] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> I mean the test would be to go stare at one and see if you go insane.
[21:04] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> OR I could have Chateaux show you her true internal structure
[21:05] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> but if your mind blows I have no way to save you
[21:05] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> so... your choice.
[21:06] <Pinako> I'd have to look at the moon for that one.
[21:07] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> The moon is not a hyperdimensional construct unless you believe the Joe Rogan show.
[21:08] <Pinako> no no, I mean for a decision.
[21:08] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> ...the moon tells you what to do?
[21:09] <Pinako> that's not what I meant!
[21:09] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> ...make it make sense?
[21:11] <Pinako> well, what I'm trying to say is....
[21:12] <Pinako> .... alternate universe reincarnation of a royal
[21:12] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Yes?
[21:12] * Pinako giggles nervously.
[21:12] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte waits for the back half of the sentence that explains how that relates
[21:13] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte sips some black coffee
[21:13] <Pinako> well, I was trying to figure out if a normal Youma's brain was likemine, I can't remember.
[21:15] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Isee
[21:39] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte sits on a sofa and just watches the news for now
[22:02] *** Liza Sunrise-Suminaka [Liza.Sunrise-Suminaka@CastleMkLVISatUplink] has joined #suburbansenshi2
[22:02] <@spiritflame> konbanwa Liza Sunrise-Suminaka
[22:02] *** Liza Sunrise-Suminaka has moved back to the Atrium
[22:03] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte waves to Liza
[22:03] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka looks around, in order to perhaps get an update on the situation. She looks delighted to see Sakura Amamiya Peinforte, and waves back enthusiastically! ^_^
[22:03] * Pinako waves as well and wanders off
[22:03] *** Pinako [Cookies@Cookies.Cookies :D] has left #suburbansenshi2
[22:04] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> How goes the evening, Liza?
[22:04] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Wonderfully, as all my evenings go! ^_^
[22:05] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> How are things for you?
[22:06] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> All right, getting prepared to head out to Antarctica finally
[22:06] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Ah, yes.
[22:06] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> As I mentioned, I will do everything I can do to help you from here.
[22:07] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Updates on astronomical readings, satellite feeds, C&C, surveillance to see if anything is going on, it can be handled from here.
[22:07] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> I appreciate it
[22:07] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Of course, should you wish for a Companion, I'd be happy to serve, as trained, but I'm aware that there are reasons I might not be the best fit for this type of mission, and for you specifically.
[22:08] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Naturally, my ability to help would be limited, as I have no supernatural powers, and you have of course specified the psychological strain. There is also the fact that I am cursed, and I know that is not something you would wish to build into your contingencies at this time. ^_^
[22:08] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> It would probably be safer for all concerned were you to remain here, if I'm honest.
[22:09] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Of course. I understand completely. ^_^
[22:09] * Frey Felinus is back
[22:09] <Frey Felinus> ugh so where are we going path wise?
[22:09] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Hi Frey
[22:10] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> ....
[22:10] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I consider myself significantly more psychologically competent than a human, but I cannot speak of my tolerances, as my mental functions are classified. ^_^
[22:10] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte shows him the map she was given Again
[22:10] * Frey Felinus looks again
[22:10] <Frey Felinus> ...so wait
[22:10] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> As such, there is no reason to---OH?! My I observe as well?
[22:10] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> ^_^
[22:10] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> There. The trail that's marked there
[22:10] * Frey Felinus points to mark on the map
[22:10] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte lets her do so
[22:10] <Frey Felinus> so this says there's a city here....
[22:10] <Frey Felinus> ...then why does the trail go over there...
[22:10] *** the trail goes away from the city
[22:11] * Frey Felinus is a man, baby
[22:11] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte was referring to Liza's request, honey
[22:11] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Because why are you assuming the city iis revelant?
[22:11] <Frey Felinus> ...i have no clue?
[22:11] <Frey Felinus> usually a map leads you to something like that
[22:12] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Well, more than likely there's something secret outside the city
[22:13] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka looks at the map! She also listens to them talk, and records their planning for later analysis.
[22:13] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> o.o
[22:15] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte actually goes ahead and trains the HOTEL / The Defender of Cadia 's sensors on that spot
[22:15] *** the sensor doesn't pick up anything
[22:15] *** The Castle Mk LVI pays careful attention.
[22:16] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte checks for gravitic / temporal / dimensional anomalies a lot more deeply
[22:17] *** there is nothing
[22:17] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka watches. The Castle Mk LVI outer Shell requests a piggyback off of Chateaux's signal, and also pings its remote to ask if Sakura Amamiya Peinforte believes that they are having unusual problems.
[22:17] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte checks - nothing odd or nothing nothing
[22:17] *** nothing odd..just ice
[22:18] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte tells the remote she doesn't think there's a problem just yet
[22:18] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka watches.
[22:18] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> If you like, I'd be happy to teleport to those coordinates myself and let you know what I see. ^_^
[22:19] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte ponders
[22:19] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Also, don't worry, I know not to offer unsolicited advice. You don't have to worry about me interrupting you habitually. ^_^
[22:19] <spiritflame> @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte rolls 1d20 [ 8 ]
[22:19] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Go ahead, but make sure the suit pulls you back here at the first sign of trouble
[22:20] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> No problem!
[22:20] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> We can simply piggyback and home in on the sensor signal. There's less than a 1% chance of a teleportation misalignment.
[22:20] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I'm so happy you value our help.
[22:20] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Here goes!
[22:20] *** WARNING: WITH THIS ACTION YOU OFFICIALLY START THE PLOT GOING
[22:22] *** The Castle Mk LVI sprouts all its defense mechanisms, prepares to defend Liza, and starts to glow various colors as it hovers off the ground and Teleports...
[22:22] *** Liza Sunrise-Suminaka [Liza.Sunrise-Suminaka@CastleMkLVISatUplink] has left #suburbansenshi2
[22:23] *** International news crews begin reporting on a very large person who has just been sighted stuck in the La Brea Tarpits in Los Angeles, California!
[22:24] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> ..she missed
[22:24] *** The hypothesis, going live over the internet and news media, is that this person---very bulky, must have fallen in somehow, or has gotten stuck in enough tar to grossly distort their shape.
[22:24] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte has the hotel try to pull her back
[22:24] *** The story starts gaining momentum as, somehow, a fire has started in the La Brea Tarpits!
[22:25] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> ...
[22:25] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka 's Castle Mk LVI refuses to obey the HOTEL's ping and teleportation summons, as the risks are currently too high.
[22:26] *** Stories of fire trucks running over things and blowing out their tires, and fire hydrants malfunctioning flash across the airways as the fire spreads, and the struggling person is seen to be immobilized by the tar as smoke wreathes the scene!
[22:28] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte sees if she can teleport the suit into the sea once the smoke is thick enough to hide this
[22:28] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka has moved to: [ d Unconscious ]
[22:28] *** A sudden breach in the city's water main sends water flying---it puts the fire out, and totally erodes a hill with the overflow, which, shockingly, with everyone watching, reveals a new fossilized species!
[22:28] *** Liza Sunrise-Suminaka has moved back to the Atrium
[22:28] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka is back
[22:29] <Frey Felinus> ....huh
[22:29] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Welcome back... s[BLEEP]t.. you look horrible.
[22:31] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka doesn't answer, of course. Her visor is covered with tar and soot. Small, unusual maggots writhe in the trails of tar she's leaving behind on the floor, but her armorsuit/home is actively cleaning/vacuuming and fixing things as it (as is clearly labelled on the remote Sakura holds) continues to deepen her anesthesia level.
[22:36] * Eliza McIntash , meanwhile, lies confidently in her restraints, proud of herself and without fear, believing she's done the right thing, and willing to face (temporarily, as she confidently predicts and sees it) what happens after she observes What Man Was Not Meant To Know in the body that was created to be hyper-resilient in every way, and then leaves it for her own body and mind, which is NOT.
[22:37] * Eliza McIntash relaxes, with complete trust in Chateaux and her actions, listening to her headphones for any advice--and because they are soothing, and breathes from the strapped-on oronasal mask that is fed directly from the wall.
[22:37] <Eliza McIntash> ^_^
[22:38] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte watches as the suit is being cleaned off
[22:39] *** D. Kakaku has joined #suburbansenshi2
[22:39] <@spiritflame> konbanwa D. Kakaku
[22:39] *** The suit does engage its anti-gravity systems, hovering off the ground (and emitting light in the full spectrum as it does) to get less on the carpet while it washes and ablates away the stains.
[22:40] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka 's visor is eventually cleaned off enough that Sakura can see through it, and observe Liza without the bioindicators on the remote. It's clear her eyes are shut, and her breathing is slow. She's totally out of it.
[22:41] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> I
[22:41] *** People are still remarking online and in news call-in shows about the amazing new fossil found during the disaster!
[22:41] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> I wonder if she knows what happened to her at all
[22:41] * D. Kakaku walks downstairs and looks out the window
[22:50] * D. Kakaku is away 
[23:03] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte watches everyone leave
[23:08] * Frey Felinus is still here
[23:08] *** roll 1d10, Sakura
[23:08] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte offers Frey a bicuit.
[23:08] <spiritflame> @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte rolls 1d10 [ 10 ]
[23:09] *** Sakura, when you look at Frey...you suddenly see a figure of burning whitish blue light...piercing pure white eyes and spread wings that...look like wings but not like wings......
[23:10] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte has seen Biblically Accurate Frey
[23:10] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte is taken aback for a moment
[23:10] *** the figure seems to open..a mouth..or maybe a mouth......and.....
[23:10] <Frey Felinus> WHOA
[23:11] * Frey Felinus quickly catches Sakura!
[23:11] <Frey Felinus> you ok there?
[23:11] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte blinks
[23:12] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> I....
[23:12] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> ...I can't say I'm totally surprised
[23:12] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> (Well that would explain why they're immune, wouldn't it?)
[23:13] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte shakes her her head "never mind me"
[23:13] *** Sakura, your nose is bleeding
[23:14] <Frey Felinus> ....let me tell you something
[23:14] <Frey Felinus> ...I'm not getting the visions anymore
[23:14] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte wipes up her nose
[23:14] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> mmm
[23:14] <Frey Felinus> I haven't for several days now
[23:14] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Well I doubt anything's changed with you constitutionally
[23:14] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> if those visions were messages or harbingers...
[23:15] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> then the lack of them means the lock's just about ticked down to sero.
[23:15] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> ^clock , zero
[23:15] <Frey Felinus> or
[23:15] <Frey Felinus> they were passed on to someone else
[23:16] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> ..................................
[23:16] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte slowly points to herself
[23:19] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Then I think they've crossed over to me
[23:19] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> May I show you?
[23:20] <Frey Felinus> ...you can try?
[23:21] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> I'm going to touch the side of your face.
[23:21] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte reaches out with her fingers and touches the side of his face, and tries to send telepathic memories of what she returned
[23:22] *** There's a suddenly psychic feedback that sends Frey sprawling backwards
[23:22] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> GAH! Are you all right?
[23:22] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> That wasn't supposed to happen!
[23:22] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte rushes over to try and help him
[23:24] * Frey Felinus is now known as Frey
[23:24] * Frey has been shocked back into his cat form @_@
[23:24] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> :O
[23:26] <Frey> @_@
[23:26] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> I'm so sorry I don't understand what happened
[23:26] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte tries to wake him
[23:27] <Frey> ugh my head...
[23:33] <Frey> you trying to kill me or something?
[23:39] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> That shouldn't have happened; our minds should have just made telepathic contact
[23:39] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> but,,, something physically rebelled
[23:39] <Frey> maybe the visions don't want out of your head or something
[23:43] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> ...well that's rude. Telepathic squatters
[23:44] * Frey hops up on a sofa...
[23:44] *** Sakura, you get the distinct feeling of someone GLARING at you from the shadows
[23:47] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte telepathically BLASTS that area with her PRESENCE in the way only an Old School Time Lord Can
[23:47] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> - PLAY NICELY -
[23:47] *** the thing glaring at Sakura runs off in fear....it seems WAY too small to be a threat to Sakura
[23:47] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> .........
[23:48] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> fraaaatz
[23:48] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte tries to hunt it down
[23:48] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Wait wait ><
[23:48] * Frey goes to lay down...
[23:49] *** Sakura, you get a glimpse of a small grey-silver kitty dashing away....obviously the glarer from before
[23:54] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte finds some kitty treats and baits it out
[23:55] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Sorry, sorry, come out, let's make up, all right?
[00:04] * The Cat makes sure Frey can't see them and approuches a bit
[00:08] * The Cat says something but it takes the Hotel a moment to catch her the language
[00:08] <The Cat> he cannot see me..can he...
[00:10] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte looks over
[00:10] * Frey is curled up
[00:11] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> I think you're good
[00:11] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte sets up a pillow fot between them
[00:13] <Cat> h..he cannot know...
[00:13] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> can't know what?
[00:16] <Cat> ..th..that i'm here...
[00:17] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> how come?
[00:18] <Cat> he..he...
[00:18] * Cat starts to babble how cool Frey is and how wonderful a man he is and how he's so kind and strong and amazing and she keeps going on and on
[00:19] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i get it now
[00:19] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> ....
[00:19] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> I'm not competition, if that's what you're angry about.
[00:20] <Cat> ..why not?..he's so handsome...
[00:21] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> I have no interest in him?
[00:22] * Cat looks shocked
[00:22] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte considers how to end this awkward line of conversation
[00:23] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> It's because I'm an alien, you see
[00:28] * Cat backs away slightly
[00:28] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> ...
[00:28] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> a frrienydly alien
[00:28] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> ^friendly
[00:31] <Cat> o..oh
[00:32] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte gives her the treats
[00:34] * Cat eats them
[00:34] * Cat dashes off
[00:38] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte watches it go
[00:39] <Freya> ugggh my head...
[00:39] <Freya> ....
[00:39] <Freya> WHERE IS THAT IDIOT BROTHER OF MIEN
[00:39] <Freya> *MINE
[00:40] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte points
[00:43] * Freya looks
[00:43] <Freya> I'LL KICK HIS ASS
[00:48] * Freya CHARGES AT FREY AND BEGINS THE FIGHT ANEW

[01:06] *** Thrash has joined #suburbansenshi2
[01:06] <@spiritflame> konbanwa Thrash
[01:06] * Thrash wanders in
[01:06] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> - Hi Thrash -
[01:06] <Thrash> ....you seem agitated
[01:07] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> You ignored me completely the other day.
[01:08] <Thrash> did I?
[01:08] <Thrash> I don't recall
[01:08] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> :/
[01:08] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte makes a cute puty face
[01:09] * Thrash grabs a coffee
[01:09] <Thrash> I don't put much pay into these superstitions but something is happening
[01:10] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> You think
[01:10] <Thrash> Cults are crawling out of the woodwork...
[01:12] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> It's like something is calling to them
[01:12] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte details what happened to her when Lily decoded the pattern witht he sigils
[01:12] <Thrash> other things are getting agitated as well
[01:12] <Thrash> the Animus made an apperence last week...
[01:16] <Thrash> the Judges of Ragnarok as well...
[01:16] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> ...All the roaches clambering out of the woodwork, I see.
[01:19] <Thrash> Something is causing ripples in the higher plains of reality
[01:20] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> ...What have I stepped in, I wonder.
[01:21] <Thrash> what indeed
[01:22] <Thrash> I hear you're going on a exhibition...
[01:23] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> .... exhibition
[01:23] <Thrash> yes that
[01:24] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> ^Expedition
[01:24] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Bloody hell
[01:27] <Thrash> yes that
[01:27] * Thrash drinks his coffee
[01:28] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> yes, that
[01:29] <Thrash> do you have a plan?
[01:29] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Yes. Roll up to the front door and knock.
[01:33] <Thrash> bold
[01:33] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> It's all I've got unless you've a better idea.
[01:33] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> I'm all ears.
[01:34] <Thrash> not a thing
[01:35] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Well then haha
[01:36] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> we are so f[BLEEP]kec aren't we
[01:36] <Thrash> pretty much
[01:45] <Thrash> you could always run away
[01:47] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Never.
[01:48] <Thrash> why? you have no loyality to this universe
[01:51] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte shrugs
[01:52] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> I've got used to it
[02:00] <Thrash> ..rather blaise about it aren't you
[02:01] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Well what wlse am I going to, crawl up in ball and cry?
[02:01] <Thrash> I'm not suggesting that
[02:05] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Then what are you suggesting
[02:11] <Thrash> well I-
[02:12] * Thrash gets knocked in the back of the head by Frey and Freya barreling into him at the same time
[02:30] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> ¬_¬
[02:36] * Freya Felinus [1604] is trying to strangle Frey with her bare hands now..both in human forms
[02:36] *** Freya Felinus has moved back to the Atrium
[02:43] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte slinks away to the shadows
[02:43] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte is away: night
[02:54] *** Freya Felinus has left #suburbansenshi2
[12:55] *** Frey Felinus has joined #suburbansenshi2
[12:55] <@spiritflame> konnichiwa Frey Felinus
[12:55] * Frey Felinus is getting himself ready
[12:55] <Frey Felinus> ...wait how the hell do we get there
[12:55] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Transmat from the HOTEL
[13:00] <Frey Felinus> seems easy
[13:01] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Well, unless something blocks or interferes with the transmat. And we still have to walk the path when we gewt there, it's not like we're beqaming right at the door
[13:05] <Frey Felinus> do you know what to expect? cause I don't
[13:05] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> I'm in the same boat as you.
[13:12] <Quantum Entanglement Comms> ♦ Lin-- uest --tected
[13:12] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte fiddles with some controls to let the signal through
[13:12] <Frey Felinus> ??
[13:13] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte points to the screambled communication attempt
[13:13] <Quantum Entanglement Comms> ♦ Signal stabilizing. Request accepted.
[13:14] <??> ♦ Hey, we finally getting through?
[13:14] <Frey Felinus> what in the..
[13:14] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> We can hear you~
[13:15] <??> ♦ Finally. Took us a lot longer than I'd like to admit to finally bridge things through.
[13:17] <??> ♦ Now comes the uncomfortable part.... what happened to you guys? Coming back to find a big hole in Mutter's Spiral wasn't on my 2026 bingo card.
[13:18] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Blame the Galactic Census
[13:18] <??> ♦ ....the who?
[13:19] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> It's a organization that takes a sensus of Galaxy. I'd rather think it was all explained in the name.
[13:19] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> They discovered some missing planets, didn't want to deal with it and so popped the solar system out of the Galaxy.
[13:20] <??> ♦ ......sounds like they should've been fired into a black hole centuries ago.
[13:20] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> No argument there
[13:24] <??> ♦ But that also raises an interesting question --- which planets went missing?
[13:25] *** Alldrogis Valkyvida [Inquisitor [REDACTED]@FedCom.net] has joined #suburbansenshi2
[13:25] <@spiritflame> konnichiwa Alldrogis Valkyvida
[13:25] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte sighs, how many times is she going to have to explain this
[13:26] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> four planets between Quinox and the end of the solar system, sometime after the last 70,000 years
[13:26] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> they were sealed away to stop the intrusion of a dark power from another trealm.
[13:27] <??> ♦ ...lovely, another eldritch fossil. Matsumi's folks can't seem to catch a break.
[13:28] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> I have a couple of questions. Where exactly did this "Galactic Census" get their mandate from and WHY did they feel that essentially quarantining the Sol system was an acceptable alternative to actually investigating a discrepancy?
[13:29] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> Sounds unbelievably obdurate and irresponsible of them.
[13:29] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> WQhere does any buraucracy get their mandate. Who knows what Bureauacrats do? Stop losing the forest for the trees.
[13:29] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> The issue isstopping the unknown enimies from obtaining the power that was sealed away.
[13:29] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> We can sort out the Solar System later.
[13:33] <??> ♦ Fair. Last thing needed is for whatever's sealed away to get out into the greater cosmic spectrum.
[13:33] * Frey Felinus is looking over the gear he got for the trip
[13:34] <??> ♦ Though that brings up the question of what kind of brainlet thinks that kicking said eldritch being out of bed is a good idea --- last I remember such an event happening it ended in said awakener getting erased.
[13:36] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Those who focus on powerscaling usually don't have much going on up there, so it tracks.
[13:38] <??> ♦ That, or their personal ambition heavily outweighs their common sense, so much so to the point they Dunning-Kruger themselves into thinking they'd succeed where others with far better resources and planning failed.
[13:38] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Why not both.gif
[13:39] * Frey Felinus blinks at some lamps mixed in with it
[13:43] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte looks at the lamps
[13:47] * Frey Felinus is holding old fashioned phospher lamps
[13:56] <Frey Felinus> strange...
[13:56] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> What's wrong?
[13:59] <Frey Felinus> nothing just never seen things like this
[13:59] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> ...
[13:59] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> How'd they end up in your supplies?
[13:59] <Frey Felinus> oh i was grabbing random climbing gear
[14:00] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> Those can still be useful.
[14:00] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> For example, those wouldn't be vulnerable to an EMP.
[14:01] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Or charging failing because of the cold
[14:01] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> And they generate heat.
[14:02] * Frey Felinus puts it away for now in the pack
[14:06] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> Any other anomalies?
[14:06] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Scanners didn't turn up anything. Whatever's there we'll just have to discover.
[14:07] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> Or it's buried so deep under the ice it's not distinguishable from the rock itself.
[14:08] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> Or more likely, it was deliberately designed to be hidden. If you ARE dealing with the Elder Things, they won't give up their secrets lightly.
[14:08] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Could be, or we're dealing with a passage to another realm, when closed, doesn't reveal anything about what's behind it.
[14:10] <Frey Felinus> Elder Things?
[14:10] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Possibly
[14:10] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> the area is known for such
[14:12] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> The Elder Things kept their holdings in places that are difficult for "lesser races" to gain access to.
[14:13] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> Antarctica for example, but they also built cities at the bottom of the ocean.
[14:14] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> They could survive in both extreme pressure environments like the deep ocean, AND the hard vacuum of outer space.
[14:16] * Frey Felinus arches an eyebrow at that
[14:16] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Well they are beyind the laws of physics so it's not really surprising.
[14:17] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> No, not quite. They themselves weren't beyond the laws of physics. Their technology however...
[14:17] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> ....
[14:18] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> they literally hail from another universe before this one
[14:18] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> they do not obey the laws of conventional physics
[14:18] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> Their anatomy was as organic as anything else. Just bioengineered to such a degree that they were essentially ageless.
[14:18] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> that's why you go insane trying to persieve them
[14:18] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> ^percieve
[14:19] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> Only because they look "weird" by Human perspective. Like a giant freaky "starfish".
[14:20] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> ............
[14:20] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> They are hyperdimensional beings
[14:20] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> Then we're not talking about Elder Things here.
[14:21] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte opens her mouth and closes it, because she realises she might be wrong
[14:21] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> ....
[14:21] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> Or we're talking about Elder Things who've regained FULL access to their old technology.
[14:21] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> I suppose what you call Elder Things and what I call Elder things are two differnet things
[14:22] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> I refer to the brings from the universes before ours... I think yours must be... theeir servants?
[14:22] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> Are you referring to the Great Race of Yith?
[14:23] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> Or the Flying Polyps? Or something else entirely?
[14:23] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Well I'm talking about what you call the uhh...
[14:23] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte looks it up
[14:23] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Outer Gods
[14:23] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> The Outer Gods? NOT the Great Old Ones?
[14:23] * Alldrogis Valkyvida knows that there's a difference between the two.
[14:24] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Well I'm sure the GOO are involved as well
[14:25] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> The only Outer God that I'm versed in would be Yog-Sothoth.
[14:29] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte nods
[14:29] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> Basically, Yog-Sothoth is a manifestation of time. Able to manipulate it at will in any number of ways. It dwells in the interstices between the planes of the universe and can travel to any point within them instantly
[14:31] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> Sometimes it's called upon and summoned by sorcerers to travel to different parts of the universe. Or to bestow immortality.
[14:31] <Frey Felinus> ..
[14:32] * Frey Felinus seems a bit....disturbed to hear that name
[14:32] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> Or travel through time.
[14:32] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> Trying to do ANY of that is freakishly dangerous.
[14:34] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> So, the isolation of the Solar system MIGHT have something to do with Yog-Sothoth in some way. But without more information to go on, that's pure speculation.
[14:36] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> There is another race that could also be involved in all of this: the Migou. The "Fungi of Yuggoth".
[14:39] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> The Migou tend to get involved in a lot of s[BLEEP]t. Fortunately, they have their own limitations and issues that work against them.
[14:41] * Frey Felinus looks over the food that can be used and..yeah
[14:41] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> So, if we're dealing with something that originated from one of the previous iterations of this universe, it could be ANY of the Elder Ones NOT related to Yog-Sothoth. There were more.
[14:42] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> But they seemed to vanish from memory after the Great Old Ones were defeated and imprisoned.
[14:44] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte listens
[14:45] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> So it's unknown if they were casualties of the war, or if they just moved on to other places and other things.
[14:47] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> For all we know it could be something entirely different: the Moon-beasts, the Gug, something from the deepest darkest corners of the Dreamlands...
[14:48] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> And all-out invasion by the cats of the city of Ulthar...
[14:49] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> Yes, there's a town in the Dreamlands that's populated by THOUSANDS of cats.
[14:49] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> cats, yes
[14:50] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte is idly jotting his down as she eats a dumpling
[14:51] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> That was largely a joke. The cat invasion, I mean. Cats by the millions DO manifest in the Dreamlands because they sleep and dream so much.
[14:52] * Frey Felinus is falling asleep
[14:52] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Exhibit A
[14:53] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> To sleep. Perchance to dream!
[14:57] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> Overall, the Outer Gods are largely blind, idiotic, and historically have little to nothing to do with Humans or any other race in the universe. They're more like forces of nature operating in the background, driving the mechanisms of reality in one way or another.
[14:58] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> The Great Old Ones, on the other hand, are actively hostile and inimical. So much so that the Elder Gods (or Elder Ones) had to step in and tell them to "knock their s[BLEEP]t off".
[14:59] * Alldrogis Valkyvida c[BLEEP]ks his head to the side. "Downloading..."
[14:59] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> Nodens.
[15:01] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Gesundheit.
[15:01] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> Nodens is the ONLY Elder God that I know of that still operates in this universe. And the ONLY one that's even REMOTELY friendly towards Humans.
[15:03] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> He's generally busy with his own things. No known cult activity or worshippers. Contacting him is difficult, but not impossible. Dealing with him, however, is also difficult because he doesn't like to have his time wasted.
[15:04] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> More than likely he's NOT involved with what we're dealing with. Not his style.
[15:08] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> As for the Outer Gods...honestly, we could be contending with any of them. We need more data.
[15:12] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> Also, can you verify that we're nowhere near the star system of Aldebaran?
[15:13] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> We're out of the universe entirely right now.
[15:14] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> Then cross Hastur off the list as a potential troublemaker.
[15:14] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte spits
[15:14] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Oh, he's a f[BLEEP]king troublemaker all right.
[15:14] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Got all grabby with me the other night.
[15:15] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> I don't know if he
[15:15] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> is involved in this but he's got his eyes on us, that much I know.
[15:15] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte still remembers the vision where he grabbed her
[15:16] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> His physical form is on Carcosa, so if we're nowhere neat Aldebaran, then his link to this world is severed for now.
[15:16] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> ^nowhere near
[15:16] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> So you say.
[15:17] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte feels her neck unconsciously
[15:17] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> And grabby...you sure that wasn't Cthulhu? I know HE can't keep his tendrils to himself.
[15:17] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> - I KNOW HASTUR WHEN I SEE HIM ALL RIGHT -
[15:17] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> - EVery Peinforte does -
[15:19] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> No matter the universe, it seems
[15:20] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> I may have mixed up some details but I did not mix that up.
[15:22] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> Fair enough
[15:27] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> And...every Peinforte knows about Hastur? That sounds like a story to tell.
[15:28] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> TL;DR every female in our bloodline bears his curse.
[15:29] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Even though I'm adopted into the bloodline he so graciously elected to include me in this.
[15:30] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> Is that why the women of the Peinforte bloodline always seem so terse?
[15:31] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> ....no.
[15:31] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> In my case it' sbecause I haven't had a lot of sleep laately and I'm down ro my last nerve.
[15:33] * Alldrogis Valkyvida nods.
[15:34] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> I picked up on that the other day.
[15:35] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> And if there was something you could do to help you sleep, you probably would have done it already.
[15:36] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Correct
[15:37] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> Nightmares or is something else causing it?
[15:37] <Frey Felinus> huh what
[15:38] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Visions
[15:38] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> Of what kind? If you don't object to me asking.
[15:39] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Lots of imagery of vast and fatanstic places, and monarchs and battles.... It's very hard to articulate.
[15:40] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> Something connected to Quinox?
[15:41] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Probably.
[15:41] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Or those missing planets, which are related to it.
[15:42] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> Which planets are missing? I wasn't here when you were finding out about that.
[15:43] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte names the four planets that existed between Quinox and the rest of the system
[15:44] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Hypera, Theia, Tyche and Phoeton.
[15:45] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> I've never even heard of those worlds before now. I wonder what their historical significance is.
[15:46] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> They were the homeworlds of the Aegis Senshi
[15:46] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> the sour who sacrificed themselves to seal away the dark power that we are trying to keep outof the enemy's hands.
[15:47] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> Exactly HOW did they sacrifice themselves?
[15:48] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> they used their special ability to fold space or somehting, to seal this power out of our simension
[15:48] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> ^dimension
[15:49] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> Were they killed or did they just vanish?
[15:49] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> I believe they yet loivew but they're forever trapped on the other side of the seal. But I wasn't there, so I can't be sure.
[15:49] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> I'm going by visions that I saw.
[15:51] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> It might be that the power they used to create that extradimensional prison is running out. Or that power they were trying to seal away has corrupted them and is now trying to break out.
[15:52] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Don't think so. Facts seem to indicate the seal's existence was discovered and someone wants to break it.
[15:52] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> To try and get the power for themselves
[15:52] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> I was just about to suggest that, too.
[15:52] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Of course
[15:53] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> Your visions might be an emergency alert system, trying to tell you what needs to be done, but your mind isn't able to interpret it all properly.
[15:53] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Yes but an alert from whom
[15:54] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> Hypothesis: the Aegis Senshi themselves. If they were smart, they must have planned for the possibility that at some point the seal MIGHT become damaged.
[15:54] <Frey Felinus> and the visions originally came to me
[15:56] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> If they wanted to keep that power contained permanently, they would have had to prepare some kind of contingency for re-establishing containment in the event it failed.
[15:57] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> Or was threatened by outsiders.
[15:58] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Who knows
[15:58] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> And I have no reason to believe that the Aegis Senshi were stupid or short-sighted.
[15:58] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Good to know you have a complete psychological profile of a grouo you only just learned existged.
[16:00] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> Any group that's willing enough to sacrifice itself in an attempt to halt and contain an existential threat inside a dimensional prison is clearly NOT stupid.
[16:01] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> I've known quite a few suicide squads in my time.
[16:02] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> I've yet to see a Senshi that wasn't brave or selfless. It takes a lot of inner strength to fight hellbeasts and extradimensional threats.
[16:04] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> So I'm going to at least give them respect for that, even if I don't know much else about them at this time.
[16:04] <Frey Felinus> I don't see any weapons packed...
[16:05] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> I'm sure Alldrogis here can hool us up.
[16:05] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> ^hook
[16:05] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> I can certainly do that.
[16:05] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte of course has her blade, but freely acknowledges that's only useful for her.
[16:08] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> I'm thinking of using high-yield energy weapons. Particle beams and plasma-based. Things designed to superheat targets past the melting/boiling point. Antarctica is extremely cold, so anything down there has to be protected from it. They MIGHT be vulnerable to extreme heat as a consequence.
[16:08] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> And energy weapons don't require physical ammunition like guns or gauss rifles.
[16:09] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> Less to carry
[16:17] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> ereasonable
[16:18] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> We should get organised and packed; once Eliza gets here we'll set off
[16:21] * Alldrogis Valkyvida delivers a shipment of the weapons he described: several high-energy laser rifles modified for continuous-beam discharge and variable frequency. Yes, you can slice things apart with these. There's also several charge-packs for each, and each power pack can A.) be recharged by leaving it next to a fire or heat source, and B.) be used to recharge other things.
[16:22] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte gets some transcendentally dimensional backpacks to allow this stuff to be carried lightly
[16:23] * Alldrogis Valkyvida also provides inertial compasses (because magnetic compasses won't work that close to the South Pole), high-calorie food packs (because you can burn TWICE as much calories in extreme cold weather), and VanSaar hostile environment suits optimized for extreme cold weather.
[16:25] * Alldrogis Valkyvida finally provides what looks like a rune-inscribed plasma gun. "It's been specially-enchanted to fire etheric plasma, designed to affect non-corporeal entities.
[16:27] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> Two settings. Narrow beam, which concentrates the blast in one direction for hitting a single target, or Wide Beam, which discharges over a wide cone area. It's a dispersed ether-plasma blast, but can hit everything in front of you.
[16:30] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Understood
[16:33] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> And naturally, straight from the equipment depots of the Federation...
[16:34] * Alldrogis Valkyvida produces a bag containing dozens of Enhanced Bandages: apply to an open wound, and the blood provides the material component for the Heal Wounds spell interwoven into the bandage's fabric.
[16:40] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> Unfortunately, I'm now needed elsewhere. Hopefully I'll be able to join you later.
[16:41] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Thanks. Good luck to you
[16:42] *** Alldrogis Valkyvida [Inquisitor [REDACTED]@FedCom.net] has left #suburbansenshi2
[16:49] <Frey Felinus> what was that all about?
[16:56] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Allies, Frey. Allies

[17:07] * this
[17:07] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte is now facing it directly
[17:12] <Frey Felinus> I can't say you'll be fine cause I don't know
[17:12] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Well, that's life, isn't it
[17:16] <Frey Felinus> yes
[17:41] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> You all right?
[17:42] <Frey Felinus> just thinking
[17:42] <Frey Felinus> .finally getting answers
[17:42] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Yeah.
[17:42] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Well the most dangerous thing is we don't know who the enemies are
[17:43] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> so it's very hard to prepare for them
[17:48] <Frey Felinus> whatever comes
[17:48] <Frey Felinus> we'll handle it
[19:18] * Frey Felinus eats from a can of cat food
[19:18] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte eats some dumpligs

[19:28] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> All right, just packing for the expedition
[19:29] <David O`Cain> Oh? Where are you going?
[19:29] <Frey Felinus> to a place called The Mountains of Madness
[19:31] <David O`Cain> The Mountains of Madness? How psychological.
[19:33] <Frey Felinus> something like that
[19:33] * David O`Cain finds himself a seat near Frey and Sakura
[19:33] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Well the name's well-deserved.
[19:37] <David O`Cain> May I ask how so?
[19:38] <Frey Felinus> ...i have no clue..something...foreboding about it Is suppose
[19:38] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> People who go there tend to go mad.
[19:38] <David O`Cain> Cabin fever mad?
[19:38] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Blithering puke your mind out insane
[19:39] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte preps the transmat controls

[19:39] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> ^us
[19:40] <David O`Cain> If I go along, anything I can do?
[19:40] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> David, if you don't fancy ending up in the Anarctic you may want to move away from us, otherwise iyou might want to get some cold weather gear equipped
[19:42] * David O`Cain nods
[19:47] * David O`Cain opens up a vid-window and looks over an inventory of gear
[19:48] * Frey Felinus already is getting on his winter gear
[19:49] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte pmakes sure the transcendentlally diemnsionsonal backpacks with the supplies and weapoms are ready
[19:49] * Eliza McIntash makes sure everything is snug, listens through her headphones for any final forewarnings or objections from her loved ones, and then nods with certainty.
[19:49] * Eliza McIntash is away 
[19:50] * Eliza McIntash has moved to: [ Restrained in Locked Chamber ]

[19:57] * Capt. David O`Cain [Antartic] tries to use thermal, FLIR, and UV vision in his helmet's visor to cut through the snow
[19:57] *** the ground is deep snow and rock
[19:57] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctic] adjusts her backpack and adjusts her sonic shades to repel the snow coming towards her eyes
[19:57] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctic] keeps one hand by her blade
[19:58] <Frey Felinus> [Antartictic] WHY IS THERE A STORM
[19:58] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] WELL IT IS THE ANTARCTIC
[19:58] <Frey Felinus> [Antartictic] OK LADY, SAKURA..WHATEVER.....WHICH WAY DO WE GO
[19:58] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctic] looks to see if there's any shelter to be found nearby
[19:58] <Capt. David O`Cain> [Antartic] WHY WOULDN'T THEREBE ONE?
[19:59] *** the mountains are shillouted in the storm...making them seem monsterious on their own
[19:59] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctic] checks if Eliza's Suit would provide a nice buffer if they got behind it
[20:00] * Eliza Mk I [Antarctic] isn't wearing her suit.
[20:01] *** there is the tatter remains of a tent in the distance..but it's just....ribbons
[20:01] * Eliza Mk I [Antarctic] is just standing there. She's the size of a normal person, as any teenage body would be.
[20:01] *** Eliza's intimidating hostile situation suit, the Castle Mk 40K, is at home in Tokyo.
[20:02] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctic] looks for an outcrop or other geographical feature
[20:02] * ^that can serve as shelter
[20:02] *** There is all sorts of cracks and crevaces in the mountains
[20:03] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctic] uses her sonic shades ot plot a course between them, and does a density scane on the ground to avoid hidden crevadsses
[20:03] * Eliza Mk I [Antarctic] is also pressing hard with her feet against the ground to avoid crevasses, too.
[20:04] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] Follow me!
[20:04] *** what are you trying to create a path to, Sakura?
[20:04] * Frey Felinus [Antartictic] nods and tries to follow Sakura
[20:04] * Capt. David O`Cain [Antartic] is using his training to test the ground before commiting his steps
[20:05] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctic] is trying to follow the path on the map
[20:05] * Eliza Mk I [Antarctic] follows Sakura Amamiya Peinforte. She's a Time Lord, after all.
[20:06] *** the path starts to lead into the mountain range......................
[20:07] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] BE MINDFUL OF YOUR THOUGHTS AND TREAD CAREFULLY!
[20:07] <Capt. David O`Cain> [Antartic] UNDERSTOOD.
[20:08] * Frey Felinus [Antartictic] looks up and immediatly regrets it as snow gets into his eyes

[20:09] *** David, Roll 1d10
[20:10] <spiritflame> Capt. David O`Cain rolls 1d10 [ 10 ]
[20:11] * Eliza Mk I [Antarctic] is getting covered with snow faster than everybody else, since she's not trying to wipe it away or melt it. Her clothes do tear a bit in the wind.
[20:12] *** David, your mind is ironsharp..other then the creepy look of the mountain, you don't feel anything
[20:12] *** the path leads the group deeper into the mountains and away from a gigantic plateau...
[20:12] <Frey Felinus> [Antartictic] SO WHY ARE WE GOING THIS WAY AGAIN?
[20:13] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] THIS IS THE PATH I WAS GIVEN
[20:13] <Eliza Mk I> [Antarctic] To take shleter from the storm, I think.
[20:13] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] ONE IS PART AND PARCEL OF THE OTHER
[20:13] <Eliza Mk I> [Antarctic] OH!
[20:13] <Eliza Mk I> [Antarctic] Chateaux says to remember not to rely heavily on compasses without double-checking, because we are close to the south pole!
[20:14] *** the path gets narrower and more rocky....you can get through it..but it will be difficult
[20:14] *** SYSTEM ANNOUNCE - Main Page updated with entry # 2660 - ***

[20:15] <Eliza Mk I> (( The insanity has begun already. ))
[20:16] <Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> (( lol ))
[20:18] <Eliza Mk I> [Antarctic] I wonder if my headphones might be useful here.
[20:18] * Eliza Mk I [Antarctic] looks around the terrible storm.
[20:18] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctic] heads into the pass "THIS WAY!"
[20:19] <Eliza Mk I> [Antarctic] This way, everyone!
[20:19] * Eliza Mk I [Antarctic] points to where Sakura is going.
[20:19] * Capt. David O`Cain [Antartic] follows Sakura
[20:20] * Frey Felinus [Antartictic] struggles to follow....as the entire path is filled with large crooked rocks and boldiers...ice at odd strange angles.......
[20:20] *** in fact the further you go..the less you can see points of reference to which way you were going
[20:21] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctic] is using her sonic shades to help wayfind and sends the same algorithm to Eliza's suit
[20:21] * Eliza Mk I [Antarctic] 's mechanizal body is capable of receiving it.
[20:22] <Eliza Mk I> [Antarctic] This way, friend!
[20:22] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctic] IN THE FRONT, ELIZA IN THE BACK, DAVID AND FREY BETWEEN US
[20:22] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctic] yells
[20:22] *** roll 1d10, David
[20:22] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] WE CBOTH HAVE GUIDANCE SIGNALS
[20:22] * Eliza Mk I [Antarctic] helps Frey Felinus along with untiring strength, and takes her place in the rear.
[20:22] <spiritflame> Capt. David O`Cain rolls 1d10 [ 3 ]
[20:23] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] IF YOU STICK BETWEEN US YOU CUT DOWN THE CHANCE OF GETTING LOST
[20:24] *** David, you're suddenly feeling VERY lost.....not fear or anything else..just...that sense of..no direction to go
[20:24] * Eliza Mk I [Antarctic] quietly watches if Frey suffers symptoms of being here. David, too.
[20:25] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctic] is at the front so doesn't see what's happening with David
[20:25] * Capt. David O`Cain [Antartic] begins to veer off course from everyone else, like he suddenly lost his way
[20:25] <Frey Felinus> [Antartictic] HEY..HEY
[20:25] * Frey Felinus [Antartictic] GRABS David's arm
[20:25] <Frey Felinus> [Antartictic] HEY YOU OK?
[20:25] <Capt. David O`Cain> [Antartic] WHAT?
[20:25] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctic] hears frey and turns to look back
[20:26] <Eliza Mk I> [Antarctic] Hey, would you like me to hold on to you?
[20:26] * Eliza Mk I [Antarctic] talks to David.
[20:26] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] DON'T ASK, TAKE HIS HAND
[20:26] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] WE NEED TO STICK TOGETHER
[20:27] <Capt. David O`Cain> [Antartic] Sorry...
[20:27] * Eliza Mk I [Antarctic] takes his hand.
[20:27] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] IT'S ALL RIGHT, NOW YOU SEE WHY THIS PLACE GOT ITS NAME
[20:28] * Eliza Mk I [Antarctic] offers Frey her hand.
[20:28] * Capt. David O`Cain [Antartic] takes Eliza's hand
[20:29] * Eliza Mk I [Antarctic] holds David's hand securely. It doesn't hurt at all, but it's clear she won't let go.
[20:29] *** roll 1d10, Sakura
[20:30] <spiritflame> @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte rolls 1d10 [ 5 ]
[20:31] * Eliza Mk I [Antarctic] offers Frey her other hand that isn't holding David's hand.
[20:32] *** Sakura, you think you see something through the blazing snow..but it passes
[20:32] * Frey Felinus [Antartictic] takes the hand
[20:33] * Capt. David O`Cain [Antartic] carefully looks around while maintaining his pace with everyone
[20:34] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] KEEP YOUR EYES PEELED EVERYONE
[20:34] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] SMETHING MIGHT BE OUT THERE
[20:35] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctic] sticks to the map, however
[20:35] <Eliza Mk I> [Antarctic] I predict something is out there, yes.
[20:35] *** a suddenly lightening flash seems to illunate the rocks around you, casting impossible shadows.....
[20:35] * Eliza Mk I [Antarctic] follows Sakura, undaunted. She carries Frey and David along.
[20:36] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctic] shivers
[20:36] *** Sakura, the map shows you're getting close....
[20:36] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] (Bloody hell)
[20:37] *** The shadows...move
[20:37] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctic] presses on, tryig to block out the percieved motion
[20:37] * Eliza Mk I [Antarctic] just follows Sakura, and her face shows curiosity, not concern.
[20:38] <Frey Felinus> [Antartictic] WHAT WAS THAT
[20:38] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] FOCUS! THE STORM IS PLAYING TRICKS ON US
[20:38] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] BUT STAY ON YOUR GUARD
[20:39] <Eliza Mk I> [Antarctic] We will probably be fine.
[20:39] * Eliza Mk I [Antarctic] hasn't bothered to raise her voice yet.
[20:39] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctic] is yelling over the storm
[20:39] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctic] presses on
[20:40] *** roll 1d10, Sakura

[20:41] *** .....Sakura...you suddenly realize you're somehow gone down a wrong path
[20:41] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] (What how....)
[20:41] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] ELIZA
[20:41] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctic] stops DEAD
[20:41] * Eliza Mk I [Antarctic] also stops.
[20:41] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] DOUBLE CHECK WE'VE BEEN FOLLOWING THE PATH
[20:41] <Eliza Mk I> [Antarctic] How can I help you, Sakura?
[20:42] <Eliza Mk I> [Antarctic] Of course.
[20:42] <Capt. David O`Cain> [Antartic] WHAT HAPPENED?
[20:42] * Eliza Mk I [Antarctic] 's android body scans for UV rays, which aren't blocked by clouds, to check if the Sun has changed position due to a recent turn.
[20:42] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] I FEEL LIKE I'VE STRAYED FROM THE PATH
[20:42] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] BUT I DON'T TRUST THIS PLACE
[20:43] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] ELIZA HAS BEEN FOLLOWING THE GUIDANCE SIGNALS TOO
[20:43] <Eliza Mk I> [Antarctic] I'm working on it!
[20:43] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] NEED HER TO CROSS CHECK
[20:43] *** the group has for sure gone down the wrong path
[20:43] <Eliza Mk I> [Antarctic] This is not the right path, Sakura.
[20:43] <Eliza Mk I> [Antarctic] Also, do you want me to adjust so I talk louder?
[20:43] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] FRATZ
[20:43] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] TURN AROUND, ELIZA IN THE LEAD
[20:44] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] ELIZA, GUIDE US BACK TO THE PATH
[20:44] <Eliza Mk I> [Antarctic] I can do that.
[20:44] *** a lightening bolt HITS part of mountain, a rock alvalance falling!!!
[20:44] * Eliza Mk I [Antarctic] slooooowly wheels around.
[20:44] <Frey Felinus> [Antartictic] INCOMING!!!!
[20:45] * Eliza Mk I [Antarctic] pulls David and Frey into an alcove so that the avalanche misses them.
[20:45] <Capt. David O`Cain> [Antartic] Yipe! O_O
[20:45] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctic] grabs one of the energy rifles from her backpack and fires on it!
[20:45] * Eliza Mk I [Antarctic] pushes both of them against a wall, so that the rocks will hit her instead of them.
[20:45] * SCRATCH THAT tnought it was one rock
[20:45] *** the rock is shot apart..but the sound of the shot ECHOES
[20:45] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctic] tries to get out of the path of the avaleanche
[20:46] * Eliza Mk I [Antarctic] listens to the echo, to see if there are other passages.
[20:46] *** roll 1d10, Eliza
[20:48] <spiritflame> Eliza Mk I rolls 1d10 [ 3 ]
[20:48] *** you can't hear anything over the roar of the storm, Eliza
[20:49] * Frey Felinus [Antartictic] isn't even going to TRY
[20:50] * Eliza Mk I [Antarctic] isn't bothered. Canyons and passages tend to be very confusing, and tracing echoes is very difficult. She remembers to bring this up with Chateaux when she goes home. ^_^
[20:50] * Eliza Mk I [Antarctic] slowly starts leading backward.
[20:51] * Eliza Mk I [Antarctic] checks the position of the spacecraft overhead, banking on it having high emissions, and subconsciously checking the signal Sakura Amamiya Peinforte is broadcasting.
[20:51] <Eliza Mk I> [Antarctic] Okay, everyone, we are going back.
[20:51] * Capt. David O`Cain [Antartic] nods
[20:52] * Frey Felinus [Antartictic] just follows...
[20:52] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctic] follows, keeping an eyeon Frey so she doesn't stray
[20:52] * Eliza Mk I [Antarctic] hasn't let go of Frey since before.
[20:53] <Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> (( brb ))
[20:53] * Eliza Mk I [Antarctic] also keeps an eye on Frey, so he doesn't stray.
[20:54] * Eliza Mk I [Antarctic] also checks that Frey doesn't delay. She then giggles, and keeps walking back to about the spot where the sunlight started coming from a different direction.
[20:54] * Frey Felinus [Antartictic] is sticking close to the others!
[20:54] <Eliza Mk I> [Antarctic] Everyone, please check if the thunder and lightning delay get closer or father apart. That can tell us the storm's location! ^_^
[20:54] <Capt. David O`Cain> [Antartic] I'll try!
[20:55] * Eliza Mk I [Antarctic] keeps leading them backward.
[20:56] <Eliza Mk I> [Antarctic] If anybody feels cold or exhausted, please speak up. We can always rest, and taking more time is better than a person being quiet and getting hurt!
[20:56] <Eliza Mk I> [Antarctic] Also, let's remember that if there's a big enough avalanch or snow drift, the map can change.
[20:58] * Eliza Mk I [Antarctic] reaches an earlier waypoint, and re-orients the group so that Sakura Amamiya Peinforte is in the lead again.
[20:59] <Eliza Mk I> [Antarctic] Okay, we are back to the original path, at least, that's based on the line I see in the center of my eyes. I think you can start leading again!
[21:01] * Frey Felinus [Antartictic] tries to drink a bit of water...even though that might be a stupid move
[21:02] <Eliza Mk I> [Antarctic] I cannot lead you, but I can keep you safe, I think. Are both of you alright?
[21:02] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] Okay, but keep close eyye on our path in case I stray
[21:02] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] Frey!
[21:02] <Frey Felinus> [Antartictic] YES!?
[21:02] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] Use one of the thermal bottles from the pack, don't let it freeze on your lips!
[21:02] * Frey Felinus [Antartictic] quickly does so
[21:03] *** roll 1d10, Sakura
[21:03] * Eliza Mk I [Antarctic] gets Sakura's attention.
[21:03] <spiritflame> @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte rolls 1d10 [ 8 ]
[21:03] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] YES ELIZA?
[21:04] *** Sakura suddenly gets a transmission that ELIZA MK I has an emergency recall disk installed by Chateaux!
[21:04] <Eliza Mk I> [Antarctic] ^_^
[21:05] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctic] and frey have one too
[21:05] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] KEEP AN EYE ON DAVID IF WE NEED TO PULL OUT, MAKE SURE HE PULLS OUT WITH YOU
[21:06] <Frey Felinus> [Antartictic] .........
[21:06] * Eliza Mk I [Antarctic] holds into David slightly tighter.
[21:06] * Frey Felinus [Antartictic] says nothing!!!
[21:06] <Eliza Mk I> [Antarctic] I have never used it! I don't know if it will affect him.
[21:06] <Eliza Mk I> [Antarctic] But I will do as you say!
[21:06] <Eliza Mk I> [Antarctic] I think we are ready to advance!
[21:06] <Eliza Mk I> [Antarctic] Lead the way!
[21:06] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctic] does
[21:07] * Eliza Mk I [Antarctic] reads the local temperature in the corner of her eye.
[21:07] <Eliza Mk I> [Antarctic] Wow, that's handy. ^_^
[21:07] *** it is DAMN cold
[21:08] *** roll 1d10, David
[21:11] * Eliza Mk I [Antarctic] closely follows Sakura, but Frey and David can feel her arms tense up.
[21:11] <spiritflame> Capt. David O`Cain rolls 1d10 [ 1 ]
[21:12] <Eliza Mk I> [Antarctic] Sakura, everyone, I want you to know that I weigh about half a ton, but if I fall through a crevasse, I'll throw the two of you clear.
[21:13] *** you know video games where when your sanity is low enough...s[BLEEP]t gets weird around you and you can't tell reality from the hallucations?
[21:13] *** yeah, David..you're experiencing that now
[21:13] * Eliza Mk I [Antarctic] doesn't let go.
[21:13] * Capt. David O`Cain [Antartic] suddenly looks right, "What was that?"
[21:14] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] If you start to fall, use the recall disk, get back to the hotel and then teleport back here
[21:14] <Frey Felinus> [Antartictic] there's..nothing?
[21:14] <Eliza Mk I> [Antarctic] It was nothing. You can just relax and fallow me, okay?
[21:14] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctic] looks "I don't see anything"
[21:14] <Eliza Mk I> [Antarctic] I'll just hold your coat a little tighter. ^_^
[21:14] *** David.....the sounds...the colors.the wind......you suddenly find yourselves holding your enemy's hand....they're getting ready to kill you!
[21:16] * ELIZA MK I [Antarctic] is ten times as strong as Eliza is, and Eliza was athletic and a little bit stronger than a normal person.
[21:17] * Capt. David O`Cain [Antartic] recoils in instinct and tries to backhand at what he perceives as an enemy
[21:18] * ELIZA MK I [Antarctic] is holding on pretty tight. She doesn't duck any faster than a normal person.
[21:18] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] DAVID! Get a gold of youeself!
[21:18] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] ^hold
[21:18] <ELIZA MK I> (( Roll-off, David, or do you think you'd hit her? ))
[21:18] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] /ma had flashbacks to what she almost did to Jaonna
[21:20] <Frey Felinus> [Antartictic] GAH
[21:20] *** !coinflip, David!
[21:20] <Capt. David O`Cain> (( Was David looking at Eliza? I don't recall which hand Eliza had a hold of. ^_^; ))
[21:21] * ELIZA MK I [Antarctic] is HOPEFULLY not struck by david! She's holding whichever hand/ coat sleeve is convenient for you.
[21:22] *** David, the halluciatnion probably goes away just as quickly
[21:22] <Frey Felinus> [Antartictic] .......
[21:23] * Capt. David O`Cain [Antartic] is breathing a bit quicker than he was before
[21:23] <ELIZA MK I> [Antarctic] Its' okay, I think. Let's keep going. I will try to count how many steps we are taking so we have an idea of distance. Dead reckoning can't be relied on.
[21:23] * Frey Felinus [Antartictic] keeps moving
[21:24] <Capt. David O`Cain> [Antartic] Yeah. Yeah, let's keep moving...
[21:24] *** you FINALLY reach the point at the map..and.....it's a sheer rock and ice wall....
[21:25] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctic] stops and regards it
[21:25] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctic] scans it with her sonic shades for anything odd or out of place
[21:25] * ELIZA MK I [Antarctic] stosp behind Sakura Amamiya Peinforte. She releases David and Frey so they can help.
[21:25] <ELIZA MK I> [Antarctic] Remember---it might be a cave in here, or it could also be above or below, hidden by ice.
[21:26] <ELIZA MK I> [Antarctic] Hmmm, I wonder if this is rock or ice?
[21:26] * ELIZA MK I [Antarctic] touches the wall. "Now, I wonder whether there's a difference." :P
[21:26] *** roll 1d10, ELIZA
[21:27] <spiritflame> ELIZA MK I rolls 1d10 [ 7 ]
[21:27] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctic] touches the wall for a different reason, probing it telepathically
[21:27] *** you feel nothing, Sakura really...
[21:27] *** Eliza...you notice a large crack, big enough for humans to go through.......
[21:28] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] (I wouldn't have been led here for no reason, there must be something)
[21:28] <ELIZA MK I> [Antarctic] We can at least take shelter in there. There's a crack, see?
[21:28] * ELIZA MK I [Antarctic] points.
[21:28] <ELIZA MK I> [Antarctic] Do you want me to go in first?
[21:29] <Frey Felinus> [Antartictic] ..how did we not notice that
[21:30] <ELIZA MK I> [Antarctic] We can always thank Chateaux later. ^_^
[21:30] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] Yes, we should go in, and be careful
[21:31] <ELIZA MK I> [Antarctic] I'll go in first, if you want?
[21:31] <ELIZA MK I> [Antarctic] The only reason not to is because my body is heavy---or, I guess, if they don't want uh... certain types of people in there, but that seems unlikely.
[21:32] <Frey Felinus> [Antartictic] so what is the plan..leader?
[21:32] * Frey Felinus [Antartictic] looks to Sakura
[21:32] * ELIZA MK I [Antarctic] does, as well.
[21:32] * ELIZA MK I [Antarctic] checks, and makes sure that David is still here, though.
[21:33] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] As I said, let's go in and be careful.
[21:33] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctic] heads in cautiously
[21:33] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] We've come this far, there's no turning back now. Frey, Eliza, rmemeber your recall disks.
[21:34] * ELIZA MK I [Antarctic] smiles, only slightly nervously. She nods.
[21:34] <ELIZA MK I> [Antarctic] Okay, but you did hear me, right?
[21:34] <ELIZA MK I> [Antarctic] Do you want me to go in first?
[21:34] <ELIZA MK I> [Antarctic] ^_^
[21:34] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] I heard, please stay in the back for support
[21:35] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] You're our important lifeline
[21:35] <ELIZA MK I> [Antarctic] Right.
[21:35] * ELIZA MK I [Antarctic] nods, and backs up.
[21:35] * Capt. David O`Cain [Antartic] does his best to keep his breathing steady
[21:37] <Frey Felinus> [Antartictic] who goes first...
[21:37] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] Me.
[21:38] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] I got us in the mess.
[21:38] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctic] heads forward
[21:38] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctic] keeps one hand ready to draw her blade
[21:38] *** the crack is narrow..but not TOO difficult....it takes just a bit to scoot through....
[21:39] * Frey Felinus [Antartictic] follows after Sakura...
[21:39] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctic] carefully shimmies through
[21:40] * ELIZA MK I [Antarctic] wa its.
[21:40] * Frey Felinus [Antartictic] gets through...
[21:40] * Capt. David O`Cain [Antartic] follows along with everyone else
[21:41] *** it is pitch black on the other side...but you can feel a sort of..incline..sloping downward....
[21:41] * ELIZA MK I [Antarctic] goes in last.
[21:41] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] Careful, mind your step, downward slope upcpming.
[21:41] * ELIZA MK I [Antarctic] makes effort not to lose her balance, since she could easily knock the others down if she fell.
[21:41] *** Something starts beeping. "Positional location confirmation requested."
[21:42] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctic] taps her sonic shades to try and get some echolocation mapping going
[21:42] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] Shut that off, whoever's beeping
[21:42] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctic] chcks if it's her remote
[21:42] * Capt. David O`Cain [Antartic] checks his visor
[21:43] *** the slop from the mapping goes downward..and downward..and downward..
[21:43] * Frey Felinus [Antartictic] does' thave anything elecronic
[21:43] * Frey Felinus [Antartictic] pulls out his lamp from his pack and turns it on..giving a little bit of light
[21:43] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] Hold for a moment
[21:43] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] Yes, good call
[21:43] *** the light reveals a kind of tunnel of ice and snow..
[21:43] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] Was going to ask for some light
[21:43] *** Location request confirmed. Locking on. Reinforcements incoming.
[21:44] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] Let's move forward slowly
[21:44] <Frey Felinus> [Antartictic] should we keep moving?
[21:44] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctic] starts going down the tunnel
[21:44] * Frey Felinus [Antartictic] follows Sakura!
[21:44] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] Yeah, shake a leg
[21:44] * ELIZA MK I [Antarctic] ofllows the others.
[21:44] * ~ SOMETHING smashes into the ground outside the entrance to the crack with a huge THUD.
[21:45] *** the SMASH starts to cause the ground to shake..which causes the ceiling to crack a little......CAREFUL
[21:46] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] fratz, it's like a drunken rhino bumbling about out there
[21:46] * Something is...a big mass of pulverized viscera that MIGHT have been someone. Except...why is it GREY in color and WHY IS IT MOVING???!!!
[21:46] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] Hopefully yhat wasn't another avala----
[21:46] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] O_o
[21:47] <ELIZA MK I> [Antarctic] Should we check what it is, or keep moving?
[21:47] * ~ It's reforming into a human-like shape!
[21:47] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] Hold up
[21:47] <Frey Felinus> [Antartictic] could be another hallucation
[21:47] * Nanomorph is now known as Alldrogis Valkyvida
[21:47] *** Alldrogis Valkyvida [Inquisitor [REDACTED]@FedCom.net] has joined #suburbansenshi2
[21:47] <@spiritflame> konbanwa Alldrogis Valkyvida
[21:47] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] We need to figure it out before we get drawn into something we can't ... oh, it's him
[21:47] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] let's press on
[21:47] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctic] heads forward again
[21:48] * Frey Felinus [Antartictic] keeps following...
[21:48] * Alldrogis Valkyvida immediately starts moving into the tunnel.
[21:49] * Alldrogis Valkyvida adjusts his own shape and solidity in order to squeeze through the tight spots.
[21:49] *** the slope feels like it goes on forever downward...you've lost the sound of the blizzard outside..........
[21:50] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] We're heading towards something
[21:50] <Frey Felinus> [Antartictic] this tunnel....doesn't feel natural
[21:50] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctic] examines the tunnel itself does it-- ((LOL))
[21:50] <Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> (( brainwaves ))
[21:50] * Alldrogis Valkyvida has moved to: [ Antarctica ]
[21:50] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] Yeah, this all feels very deliberate.
[21:50] <ELIZA MK I> [Antarctic] I don't know what you mean. It's a relief that the tunnel was here, though.
[21:50] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antarctica] Hold up.
[21:51] * Frey Felinus [Antartictic] stops?
[21:51] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] Relief nothing, this was made for travel.
[21:51] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctic] pauses
[21:51] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] Yes?
[21:51] * Alldrogis Valkyvida [Antarctica] runs his hand along the wall, letting the nanites comprising his body analyze the structure and material of the wall.
[21:52] <Capt. David O`Cain> [Antartic] What is it, Alldrogis?
[21:52] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antarctica] Let me run a quick analysis of this tunnel.
[21:52] *** the material is made of the outlning stone..the structure has been carved out for sure....
[21:53] *** the ground ahead looks like it's going to level off....
[21:54] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] Look, it seemst o be coming to a level here
[21:56] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] LEt's keep going
[21:56] * Frey Felinus [Antartictic] nearly falls off the slope and onto the flat ground
[21:56] <Frey Felinus> [Antartictic] ><
[21:57] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antarctica] This tunnel has definitely been carved. It's not natural. Which means it must lead somewhere.
[21:57] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antarctica] ...Let me move ahead of everyone.
[21:57] * ELIZA MK I [Antarctic] lets Sakura decide what to do.
[21:58] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctic] has already moved ahead when she said "let's keep going"
[21:58] *** Sakura, what is your decision
[21:58] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antarctica] I can see in ranges far beyond the visible spectrum, and I can utilize ultrasound.
[21:58] * ELIZA MK I [Antarctic] follows Sakura, but stays next to David, too.
[21:58] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] [21:58] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctic] has already moved ahead when she said "let's keep going"
[21:58] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctic] is repeating herself a lot lately and its making her cranky
[21:59] <ELIZA MK I> [Antarctic] That's good, but she says that she wants people in the back who can do that, as a lifeline.
[21:59] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] Come on, you lot~
[21:59] * ELIZA MK I [Antarctic] goes on!
[21:59] *** the space you have entered now is pitch black...........it seems to have VERY high ceilings..........and the space ahead of you seems to go on for a long ways..but again..absolute pitch black'
[21:59] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctic] slows down "FRey, the light?"
[22:00] * Alldrogis Valkyvida [Antarctica] shrugs, but starts using a form of personal radar to scan everything around him, and uses his eyes to project dull red-colored beams of light ahead of him.
[22:00] * ELIZA MK I [Antarctic] just follows. ^_^
[22:00] * Frey Felinus [Antartictic] holds up the light..but it's not bright enough...............
[22:00] *** the red lights shed shadows...you can make out...something vast in the darkness....
[22:01] *** does anyone have a manner of bringing actual light into the space...
[22:01] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] What is that....
[22:01] * Alldrogis Valkyvida [Antarctica] unlocks the scabbard of his Singularity Blade.
[22:01] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctic] draws her blade and infuses it with strong spirit... or let's go with Alldrogis there
[22:01] *** nothing is moving out there in the shadows.......
[22:01] * Alldrogis Valkyvida [Antarctica] intensifies the power of the light he's projecting, and changes the color from red to white.
[22:02] *** you just see shilloutes.....
[22:02] *** how bright is this light?
[22:02] *** how far can it cover?
[22:02] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> (( Currently equal to about a flashlight. He CAN generate even more light if necessary. ))
[22:03] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antarctica] Is this bright enough, or do we need more?
[22:03] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> (( Currently, bright light to about 50 feet, and dim light to about 100. ))
[22:04] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] We need more, I think. Much more.
[22:04] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antarctica] Hold on...
[22:05] * Alldrogis Valkyvida [Antarctica] unfurls his bat-like wings and stretches them out up and over his head. Wingspan, about nine feet total.
[22:06] <ELIZA MK I> [Antarctic] :o
[22:06] *** The nanomaterial making up the wing membrane starts to ripple and reform into two layers: a fine mesh-like webbing and a thin underlayer.
[22:07] *** The underlayer starts to become extremely reflective, and the "webs" suddenly start to blaze with exceedingly bright light that's almost painful to look at!
[22:07] *** the space LIGHTS up..........and you see....
[22:07] *** a vast great city..................
[22:07] * Alldrogis Valkyvida [Antarctica] flexes his wings slightly, closing them a little and adjusting the light he's now generating to form something akin to spotlights.
[22:08] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctic] takes in a deep breath
[22:08] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] [squeak] Amazing....
[22:08] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antarctica] ...Now THIS is impressive.
[22:08] *** the City seems to be made of about 70 to 80 buildings........each is carved from stones and metals...........
[22:08] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctic] 's eyes light up with wonder
[22:08] <Capt. David O`Cain> [Antartic] Whoaaaa...
[22:08] *** the designs are made of curves and textures........there are streets laided out in odd patterns....
[22:08] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] This is amazing
[22:08] * Frey Felinus [Antartictic] looks around...
[22:09] *** there is also..utter silence
[22:09] * Alldrogis Valkyvida [Antarctica] starts scanning the vista in front of everyone, using imaging and ranging radar combined with his own multi-phasic vision.
[22:09] <ELIZA MK I> [Antarctic] I didn't expect this. Stay together!
[22:09] *** the level space looks like it slopes down a bit into the city..
[22:09] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antarctica] Eliza? What sensors do you make use of?
[22:09] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] Let's go, carefully. Talk on the way
[22:10] <ELIZA MK I> [Antarctic] I dont' know. I haven't tried anything yet.
[22:10] * ELIZA MK I [Antarctic] stands behind Sakura.
[22:10] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctic] heads down, keeping careful watching for anything odd as they go
[22:10] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antarctica] Wait, Amamiya.
[22:10] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] What?
[22:10] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antarctica] Let's finish a preliminary scan first. Try and determine what the layout of this place is.
[22:10] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] you xan tell me as we go
[22:11] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctic] tape her sonic shades "I'm scanning too, you know"
[22:11] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antarctica] David O'Cain?
[22:11] * Frey Felinus [Antartictic] follows down...
[22:11] * ELIZA MK I [Antarctic] turns to David and Frey. "Are you two alright?"
[22:11] <Capt. David O`Cain> [Antartic] Yeah?
[22:12] * Alldrogis Valkyvida [Antarctica] smiles at David. "Belated salutations to you. It's good to be working with you again."
[22:12] *** as you get down into the city....the emptiness of it just becomes apperent...
[22:13] * Alldrogis Valkyvida [Antarctica] scans and analyzes the material making up the surrounding buildings, attempting to ascertain just how old this place is.
[22:13] <Capt. David O`Cain> [Antartic] Likewise, man.
[22:13] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctic] licks one of the buildings, attempting to ascertain just how old this place is.
[22:13] *** the metals seem to be [UNKNOWN] and the stone is local......the age?
[22:13] <ELIZA MK I> [Antarctic] I wonder if there is ice or water in here. That would maybe say whether or not the snow, or other visitors, have come in. Look in the low places?
[22:13] <Capt. David O`Cain> [Antartic] Is it just me or did we just happen to walk into a ghost town?
[22:14] * Alldrogis Valkyvida [Antarctica] stays near the front of the group, keeping his "spotlights" glowing and panning them back and forth as they all move.
[22:14] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antarctica] Ghost town or lost civilization.
[22:15] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] Why not both?
[22:15] * Alldrogis Valkyvida [Antarctica] tries to analyze the metals, comparing it to his own EXTENSIVE database.
[22:15] *** the city seems to be 30,000,000 B.C. or so
[22:15] *** at BEST
[22:16] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] A bit over thirty million years or so.
[22:16] *** could be 50,000,000 BC
[22:16] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] ..OR 50. :.
[22:16] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] :/
[22:16] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antarctica] Possibly older.
[22:16] *** it's hard to tell....
[22:17] * ELIZA MK I [Antarctic] blinks a few times.
[22:18] <ELIZA MK I> [Antarctic] I feel... fascination. And also respect. I'm very impressed you could tell that. ^_^
[22:18] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antarctica] Sooooo, sometime around the Eocene Period.
[22:18] *** Much of the archtecture seems to be formed by Non-Euclidian Mathmatical theory
[22:18] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctic] is also very impressed
[22:18] <Capt. David O`Cain> [Antartic] So, what happened to this place?
[22:19] * Capt. David O`Cain [Antartic] is just looking around where everyone is
[22:19] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antarctica] Wait...the architecture...
[22:19] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] Ooh, the parallels to Gallifreyan Dimensional Engineering are so fascinating...
[22:19] <spiritflame> ELIZA MK I rolls 1d20 [ 8 ]
[22:20] * ELIZA MK I [Antarctic] gawks at the different buildings.
[22:20] <ELIZA MK I> [Antarctic] O.O
[22:20] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] I wonder if they came about this naturally, like spiders with webs, or technologically.
[22:20] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctic] slaps herself in the face a little
[22:21] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] Focus. Sakura, Focus
[22:21] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctic] remembers she was summoned her for a reason
[22:21] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctic] looks around for any clues as where to head next
[22:21] * Alldrogis Valkyvida [Antarctica] examines the architecture more carefully. Would it accommodate creatures with dimensions roughly 3 meters high, 2 meters wide, and with multiple limbs?
[22:21] *** roll 1d10, Sakura, Alldrogis, ELIZA, David
[22:22] <spiritflame> Alldrogis Valkyvida rolls 1d10 [ 2 ]
[22:22] * Frey Felinus [Antartictic] is sort of examinng stuff off chance
[22:22] <spiritflame> Capt. David O`Cain rolls 1d10 [ 2 ]
[22:22] <spiritflame> @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte rolls 1d10 [ 1 ]
[22:23] <spiritflame> ELIZA MK I rolls 1d20 [ 18 ]
[22:23] <spiritflame> ELIZA MK I rolls 1d10 [ 3 ]
[22:23] *** WELP THIS ENTIRE TEAM ARE IDIOTS
[22:23] *** A ROCK FALLS AND KILLS YOU ALL. THE END.
[22:23] *** nah i'm kidding
[22:24] *** roll 1d10 again, ELIZA, David and Alldrogis
[22:24] <spiritflame> Alldrogis Valkyvida rolls 1d10 [ 1 ]
[22:24] <spiritflame> ELIZA MK I rolls 1d10 [ 6 ]
[22:25] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antarctica] Amamiya? Remember our earlier conversation about the Elder Things? NOT the Elder Gods, the Elder Things?
[22:25] <spiritflame> Capt. David O`Cain rolls 1d10 [ 10 ]
[22:25] *** Eliza, you SEE something laying on the ground near one of the buildings
[22:25] *** David you DEFINTLY see it!
[22:26] <ELIZA MK I> [Antarctic] Look. Is that something,k there?
[22:26] <Capt. David O`Cain> [Antartic] What the...? (walks over to the object on the ground)
[22:26] * Alldrogis Valkyvida [Antarctica] shines light over in that direction.
[22:27] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctic] follows and looks, a little personally nooyed she didn't see anything
[22:29] * ELIZA MK I [Antarctic] stays near David, since she was instructed he doesn't have a way out.
[22:29] *** as you approuch..you see a VERY large...thing..laying on the ground...it's an iridescent, six-foot-tall, grey-skinned barrel. It features five bulging ridges down its sides, a starfish-shaped head with five eyes and feeding tubes, five basal tentacles , and bat-like wings
[22:29] *** it isn't moving...
[22:29] <Frey Felinus> [Antartictic] O_o
[22:30] * Capt. David O`Cain [Antartic] stops a few feet away from the barrel
[22:30] <Capt. David O`Cain> [Antartic] That's...very unusual.
[22:31] <ELIZA MK I> [Antarctic] Indeed. Let's not disturb it. It probably has just as much right to be here as we do.
[22:31] *** it looks....dead
[22:32] <Frey Felinus> [Antartictic] I don't think it's alive...
[22:32] <Capt. David O`Cain> [Antartic] What...is it, though?
[22:33] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctic] scans it with her sonic shades just to learn more about its compsotion and anatomy for her own scientific curiosity
[22:33] <ELIZA MK I> [Antarctic] Maybe not, but we should still leave it alone, just in case it is alive.
[22:33] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctic] can review the readongs later ofc
[22:34] <Frey Felinus> [Antartictic] ...why did the map bring us here?
[22:35] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antarctica] STOP!
[22:35] * Frey Felinus [Antartictic] pokes the corpse..it doesn't do ANYTHING
[22:35] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] That's what I want to fidn out.
[22:35] <Frey Felinus> [Antartictic] eh?
[22:35] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antarctica] AMAMIYA.
[22:35] * Frey Felinus [Antartictic] stops
[22:35] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] There has to be Something in this ....WHAT
[22:35] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antarctica] URGENT.
[22:35] <ELIZA MK I> [Antarctic] Sir, you shouldn't have touched that.
[22:35] <Capt. David O`Cain> [Antartic] ?
[22:35] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctic] wheels to face Alldrogis
[22:35] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] Yes?
[22:36] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antarctica] Our previous conversation about the Elder Things?
[22:36] * Alldrogis Valkyvida [Antarctica] points at the body. "THAT is an Elder Thing."
[22:36] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] I... yes. That's why I scanned it
[22:36] * ELIZA MK I [Antarctic] raises an eyebrow, and looks at it again.
[22:36] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antarctica] Which means we may ALSO be facing Shoggoths.
[22:37] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] Go on.
[22:37] <ELIZA MK I> [Antarctic] ?
[22:37] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctic] read about them on the book she had read but doesn't know all the details
[22:37] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antarctica] The Elder Things were an exceptionally advanced species, with technology that didn't just approach Magic, but likely incorporated it too
[22:38] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antarctica] What they really specialized in was biological engineering. They created life and used it for their own purposes.
[22:38] <ELIZA MK I> [Antarctic] Sooooo, should we leave, at least for now?
[22:39] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] I don't see why.
[22:39] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] We were given weapons and tools
[22:39] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] I've brough them along.
[22:39] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] We should press on.
[22:39] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antarctica] What they're most known for is the creation of a race of amorphous, plasmoid creatures that they used as slaves, but eventually broke free when they became FAR too intelligent to control.
[22:40] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] Btu we do need to figure out the next steps.
[22:40] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctic] is listening to Alldrogis too
[22:40] * ELIZA MK I [Antarctic] just listens politely, following along.
[22:41] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antarctica] The Shoggoths are highly intelligent, extremely cunning, and exceedingly powerful. They're capable of forming their bodies into whatever they need.
[22:41] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antarctica] They're pretty much the reason why the Elder Things fled.
[22:42] <?> Tekeli-li! Tekeli-li!
[22:42] <Frey Felinus> [Antartictic] ?
[22:42] * Alldrogis Valkyvida [Antarctica] recognizes that call!!!
[22:42] * ELIZA MK I [Antarctic] looks at this noise source.
[22:42] <Frey Felinus> [Antartictic] what was that?
[22:42] *** it came from the way you call came...
[22:43] * ELIZA MK I [Antarctic] turns around, to look behind them.
[22:43] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] Something's back there...
[22:43] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antarctica] I HOPE that I'm wrong about what we just heard.
[22:43] * Alldrogis Valkyvida [Antarctica] readies his Singularity Blade.
[22:44] <ELIZA MK I> [Antarctic] Well, at least the situation is not an emergency yet.
[22:44] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] Well we can't go back now, can we~?
[22:44] <ELIZA MK I> [Antarctic] Should we be quieter?
[22:44] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctic] unsheathes her blade
[22:44] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctic] stays quiet
[22:44] <ELIZA MK I> [Antarctic] Not directly back, I guess.
[22:44] * ELIZA MK I [Antarctic] does nothing.
[22:44] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antarctica] Not unless we either find another exit or create one of our own.
[22:44] <?> Tekeli-li! Tekeli-li!
[22:44] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] We can't just run
[22:44] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antarctica] And yes. Keep quiet. And HIDE.
[22:45] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctic] we came here for a reason.
[22:45] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctic] looks for somewhere to hide along with the others
[22:45] * Frey Felinus [Antartictic] has no defense????
[22:45] * Alldrogis Valkyvida [Antarctica] looks for a small building with only ONE entrance that they can all hide inside.
[22:45] * Capt. David O`Cain [Antartic] carefully looks around
[22:46] *** there is a building like that
[22:46] * ELIZA MK I [Antarctic] doesn't seem afraid, or even perturbed. She just watches the others.
[22:46] * Alldrogis Valkyvida [Antarctica] points it out to everyone and motions for them to move inside.
[22:46] * Frey Felinus [Antartictic] heads to there!
[22:46] * ELIZA MK I [Antarctic] follows Alldrogis
[22:47] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctic] follows as well
[22:47] * Alldrogis Valkyvida [Antarctica] motions for everyone to go inside ahead of him.
[22:47] *** something very large...very slimy..with ALOT of eyes is coming out of the space where they were.......
[22:48] * Alldrogis Valkyvida [Antarctica] stands in the doorway, then spreads his wings again to fill the doorway.
[22:49] * ELIZA MK I [Antarctic] doesn't move or make a sound. At all.
[22:49] *** Alldrogis' wings melt, then the nanopaste stretches out to cover the doorway, solidifying to form a solid shell over it and color-shifting to try and mimic the material of the building.
[22:50] * Frey Felinus [Antartictic] stays quiet
[22:50] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antarctica] Now hopefully it'll just go on by and not notice us.
[22:50] * ELIZA MK I [Antarctic] doesnt' move or say anything.
[22:53] * Capt. David O`Cain [Antartic] keeps quiet
[22:54] *** Shall we pause here, my friends?
[22:54] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctic] stays quiet as well
[22:54] <Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> (( sure ))
[22:54] <Capt. David O`Cain> (( I'm fine with that. ))
[22:55] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> (( Certainly. ))
[22:55] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antarctica] Everyone present and accounted for?
[22:56] *** PLOT IS PAUSED; CHARACTERS WHO TAKE PART ARE NOW IN "OMAKE MODE"
[22:56] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctic] is
[22:56] <Frey Felinus> [Antartictic] yes
[22:56] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte has moved to: [ OMAKE! ]
[22:56] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antarctica] I'd recommend you all sit down and catch your breaths. Maybe eat something.
[22:56] * Alldrogis Valkyvida has moved to: [ Omake Mode ]
[22:56] * Frey Felinus has moved to: [ Omake mode ]
[22:57] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [OMAKE!] Ooh I can't wait to examine the readings from that creature when I get back home assuming we don't all die some horrible eldritch death!
[22:57] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [OMAKE!] And I so look forward to not having to repeat myself fifty times every time!
[22:57] * Frey Felinus [Omake mode] eats some canned cat food
[22:58] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [OMAKE!] I'm not supposed to be a cranky girl!
[22:58] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [OMAKE!] But I guess I was forever changed by the Mountains of Madness™
[22:58] * Lovecraft tries to sue her
[22:58] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [OMAKE!] BEATS THE S[BLEEP]T OUT OF HIUM AND MAKES HIM RENAME HIS CAT
[23:00] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Omake Mode] I'll tell you more about them later. But for the time being, Amamiya...
[23:01] * Alldrogis Valkyvida is away: Rest and calm your mind. You need to keep it sharp and honed.
[23:02] * Capt. David O`Cain has moved to: [ OMAKE ]
[23:04] <Frey Felinus> [Omake mode] ..I didn't really good to do much this time
[23:04] <Frey Felinus> [Omake mode] *get
[23:07] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [OMAKE!] Well if you want I can dump everuthing else on you next episode?
[23:07] <Frey Felinus> [Omake mode] no!!!
[23:07] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [OMAKE!] laughs
[23:09] <Capt. David O`Cain> [OMAKE] I can't believe I hallucinated out in the snow. And I didn't take anything illicit for it.
[23:11] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [OMAKE!] Well the Mountains of Madness do live up to their name~
[23:12] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [OMAKE!] I was surprised at how badly I was affected too
[23:12] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [OMAKE!] must be the human side of me.
[23:13] *** just to remind all you characters..when we do start tomorrow..these conversations never happened..that alright with you all?
[23:13] * Capt. David O`Cain [OMAKE] gives a thumbs up
[23:17] <Frey Felinus> [Omake mode] yeah no problem
[23:19] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [OMAKE!] Yup!
[23:34] * Frey Felinus [Omake mode] streaches!
[23:43] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [OMAKE!] gets Frey some fish
[23:44] * Frey Felinus is now known as Frey
[23:44] * Frey Felinus [Omake mode] gobbles it!
[23:53] * Frey Felinus [Omake mode] lays down to rest
[23:53] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [OMAKE!] gets some rest too
[23:53] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte is away: that eldritch creature looked like some kind ofpok::emon
[23:57] * Capt. David O`Cain [OMAKE] finds himself a comfortable spot to rest
[14:00] *** Across the World, Eldrich Cults and lesser Eldrich beings start to rise and become active....
[19:24] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [OMAKE!] hovers in Omake Mode
[19:25] * Frey Felinus [Omake mode] seems lost in thought for now
[19:35] * Capt. David O`Cain [OMAKE] leans back against a wall
[19:43] * Frey Felinus has moved to: [ Antartica ]
[19:44] * Frey Felinus [Antartica] stays ABSOLUTLY silent...
[19:44] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte has moved to: [ Antarctica ]
[19:44] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctica] as well
[19:49] *** outside.....the sound of the slithering....and multitude voices can be heard in echos...
[19:52] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] (Well this is just great)
[19:52] * ELIZA Mk I [Antarctic] is there, too!
[19:53] <Frey Felinus> [Antartica] what IS that?
[19:53] * ELIZA Mk I [Antarctic] doesn't speak.
[19:54] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] something nasty, no doubt
[19:55] * ELIZA Mk I [Antarctic] just waits to see if the sounds get softer, and thinks to herself.
[19:55] * ELIZA Mk I [Antarctic] thinks back to the dead starfish-thing on the ground, and whether or not it was rotted/frozen or preserved.
[19:57] *** something THUMPS against the building...
[19:58] * Capt. David O`Cain has moved to: [ Antartic ]
[19:58] <Capt. David O`Cain> [Antartic] ?
[19:58] * ELIZA Mk I [Antarctic] just thinks, and doesn't move. She ensure that she is between David and the wall.
[19:58] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] Something wants in
[19:59] <Frey Felinus> [Antartica] I think...that's that...tHING
[20:00] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] what thing
[20:02] <Frey Felinus> [Antartica] i don't know the thing!
[20:02] <Capt. David O`Cain> [Antartic] Shall we check carefully?
[20:02] <ELIZA Mk I> [Antarctic] Do you want me to distract it?
[20:02] <-> Tekeli-li! Tekeli-li!!!!!!!
[20:03] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] does your suit have something like an endoscopic camera we can use to peek out there, Eliza?
[20:03] * ELIZA Mk I [Antarctic] isn't wearing a suit, so no.
[20:03] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] i meant your body, sorry
[20:03] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] not sure if it was enhanced at all
[20:04] <ELIZA Mk I> [Antarctic] I don't know.

[20:04] <ELIZA Mk I> [Antarctic] <.<;;
[20:04] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctica] looks around to see what the group's options are re: movement
[20:05] *** there is a back way it looks like........further into the building
[20:06] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] Everyone, look over there *points to the back way*
[20:06] * ELIZA Mk I [Antarctic] heads over there.
[20:06] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] I think we need to make for it if the way's clear
[20:07] * Frey Felinus [Antartica] nods
[20:07] <ELIZA Mk I> [Antarctic] I will check. Hold on.
[20:08] * ELIZA Mk I [Antarctic] looks ahead to see if the way is clear, and if whatever is making that noise is waiting.
[20:09] *** Eliza...as you go deeper into the building, you can see bare walls with slightly hint of strange curved carvings in them.....as you reach the back exit...you can see the huge..dark..SOMETHING at the other entrance...luckly not blocking the back
[20:09] <ELIZA Mk I> [Antarctic] <.<
[20:09] * ELIZA Mk I [Antarctic] glances at the carvings for just a moment, because they might have a clue about how to deal with this weird watchdog-thing.
[20:10] * ELIZA Mk I [Antarctic] then motions her companions forward, and pointing in the direction of the monster and making a "Danger" signal to show them where it is and not to go that way.
[20:10] * Frey Felinus [Antartica] tries to sneak forward....trying NOT to look at the massive..thing
[20:12] * ELIZA Mk I [Antarctic] keeps beckoning them forward, urgently, as long as the thing doesn't move.
[20:12] * Capt. David O`Cain [Antartic] sneaks forward, letting his military training and instincts kick in
[20:12] *** the THING is HUGE...covered in green eyes.....with a near shapeless shifting form....
[20:12] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctica] heads in the direction Eliza indicates as carefully as possible
[20:13] * ELIZA Mk I [Antarctic] watches whatever it is, makes sure it is not following them, and shows them which way to go.
[20:15] *** roll 1d10 everyone
[20:15] <spiritflame> ELIZA Mk I rolls 1d10 [ 7 ]
[20:15] <spiritflame> @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte rolls 1d10 [ 6 ]
[20:15] <spiritflame> Frey Felinus rolls 1d10 [ 7 ]
[20:17] <spiritflame> Capt. David O`Cain rolls 1d10 [ 7 ]
[20:19] *** thankfully you sneak past the thing......
[20:20] * ELIZA Mk I [Antarctic] remembers which direction it is in, and continually guides them away from it without needing visual contact.
[20:20] * Frey Felinus [Antartica] keeps moving...
[20:20] * ELIZA Mk I [Antarctic] gets the group a good distance away, and then nods toward Sakura Amamiya Peinforte.
[20:21] * ELIZA Mk I [Antarctic] gets behind Sakura again.
[20:21] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] Thanks, Eliza
[20:21] * ELIZA Mk I [Antarctic] nods again.
[20:22] *** there's is sudden sound from the direction of the thing......a strange....unearthly sound....a sound of fear
[20:22] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] ....
[20:23] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] if that thing's afraid...]]
[20:23] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctica] looks to see a safe palce the group can hide
[20:23] * ELIZA Mk I [Antarctic] decides that she has no idea if her instincts about hearing emotion in the sounds of whatever that thing is can be relied upon.
[20:23] * Capt. David O`Cain [Antartic] keeps his eyes peeled within his surroundings
[20:24] * ELIZA Mk I [Antarctic] checks how far apart the buildings in this underground city are.
[20:26] * ELIZA Mk I [Antarctic] considers whether or not a normal person, if highly-trained, could jump between the buildings, and heavily they are built.
[20:26] *** the sound of the thing can be heard retreating...
[20:26] *** there are some buildings close..some far away
[20:27] <Frey Felinus> [Antartica] .......why did it run?
[20:27] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] if that thing's retreating... what's it retreating from?
[20:29] *** the sound of silence overtakes the city again...
[20:29] <ELIZA Mk I> [Antarctic] An arguement could be made that it's our responsibility to find out.
[20:29] <ELIZA Mk I> [Antarctic] But we don't know if that has any bearing on what we are trying to do here!
[20:30] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] I just don't want its enemy to become our enemy
[20:30] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctica] sighs
[20:30] <Frey Felinus> [Antartica] well what do we do..leader
[20:30] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] Why did they send us here.... what's here... what are we supposed to find...
[20:31] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] The glyphs. The iconography. We need to examine it.
[20:31] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] We need to see if there's anything similar to the runes we've already discovered
[20:31] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] something tied to the cultures that are tied to the ones the Aegis senshi came from
[20:32] <Capt. David O`Cain> [Antartic] And not get caught?
[20:32] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] if those exist they may lead us where we need to go.
[20:32] <Frey Felinus> [Antartica] yes not get caught.....
[20:32] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] and not get caught, yes
[20:32] <ELIZA Mk I> [Antarctic] I don't know anything about that, but now that I know what to look for....
[20:32] <ELIZA Mk I> [Antarctic] Also, there were some glyphs I saw when we were retreating from that thing.
[20:33] <ELIZA Mk I> [Antarctic] I can perfectly describe them to you, if you want.
[20:33] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctica] transmits, from her sonic chades to Eliza, a record of all the flyhs and runes she had encountered over the course of her months' long investigation
[20:34] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] Eliza see if you recognized any of these
[20:34] * ELIZA Mk I [Antarctic] nosd.
[20:34] * ELIZA Mk I [Antarctic] considers, with perfect clarity, whether any of what they just saw, or she saw earlier, matched these glyphs that she is looking at in her eyes.
[20:35] *** some of them DO match
[20:36] * ELIZA Mk I [Antarctic] nods that some of them do match, then describes which ones, and their location compared to where they are currently all hiding.
[20:37] * ELIZA Mk I [Antarctic] 's eyes seem to move around at random places in the room as she does this, but her voice never alters in its calm, positive timbre.
[20:37] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] Eliza do your eyes have night vision or telescopic vision?
[20:40] * Frey Felinus [Antartica] glances over to Eliza
[20:40] <ELIZA Mk I> [Antarctic] Yes.
[20:40] <ELIZA Mk I> [Antarctic] What do you need?
[20:41] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] Okay, let's try to see if there are any more glyphs around us. Then, if we see a hgiher density of matching gyphs, we head that way
[20:41] <ELIZA Mk I> [Antarctic] I KNOW they can see in here, and I don't have trouble seeing things at a distance. It never occurred to me to test their.... vision.
[20:41] * ELIZA Mk I [Antarctic] nods.
[20:41] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctica] herself is also looking for any patterms that might match up to the visions she's been having
[20:41] * ELIZA Mk I [Antarctic] looks for the very sturdiest, most heavily-built building, and starts climbing it.
[20:42] * Capt. David O`Cain [Antartic] shrugs and starts searching
[20:42] * ELIZA Mk I [Antarctic] gets up higher, stays very still, and starts looking around for glyphs.
[20:42] * Frey Felinus [Antartica] wanders off and looks around
[20:43] <ELIZA Mk I> [Antarctic] Please don't go too far.
[20:43] * ELIZA Mk I [Antarctic] keeps track of which way David goes, because she's been instructed to extract him.
[20:44] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] try to stay ij sight of each other
[20:45] *** you can all see very faint reliefs on the wall....though they might not be glyphs
[20:46] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctica] uses her sonic to zoom and enhanace
[20:46] * ELIZA Mk I [Antarctic] can 100% see in night vision, but Chateaux didn't specifically concentrate on, so she cannot be guaranteed to see at huge distances.
[20:47] * ELIZA Mk I [Antarctic] does check on things using heat vision, on occasion, to keep track of the others. She also checks if that monster things left a heat signature.
[20:47] <ELIZA Mk I> [Antarctic] Sakura?
[20:47] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctica] sets her specs to holoproject what it can make out of the glyphs
[20:47] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] yes?
[20:48] <ELIZA Mk I> [Antarctic] That creature we found? The starfish-man?
[20:48] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] /squeaj yes?
[20:48] <ELIZA Mk I> [Antarctic] Could you tell if it had rotted? Or was frozen? Do we know how long it has been here?
[20:48] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctica] reviews the readings from the scans she had taken
[20:48] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] checking
[20:51] *** the creature is dead.....
[20:51] *** SYSTEM ANNOUNCE - Main Page updated with entry # 2660 - Video might resurrect the IRC star? ***
[20:51] *** the creature has been there for about 20,000,0000 years...
[20:52] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] It's been dead for about 20... million(?) years?
[20:52] <ELIZA Mk I> [Antarctic] It was just a thought. Er, speaking of which, I can use thought to look for images like that on the internet. It might tell us if other people have seen that. Maybe later!
[20:52] <ELIZA Mk I> [Antarctic] That is very interesting that it is still there, then.
[20:52] <ELIZA Mk I> [Antarctic] UH... I don't know enough to elaborate.
[20:52] <spiritflame> ELIZA Mk I rolls 1d20 [ 17 ]
[20:52] <ELIZA Mk I> [Antarctic] Oh, wow, now I suddenly do!
[20:52] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] MAybe there are no predators interested in its flesh
[20:53] <ELIZA Mk I> [Antarctic] Since coal only built up because there was nothing to decompose the plants back then, there might be no microorganisms, at least not here, that are capable of breaking that down.
[20:54] <ELIZA Mk I> [Antarctic] This su ggests that this creature doesn't putrefy, and doesn't break down. It might have remains elsewhere, and fossilization isn't even necessary.
[20:54] <ELIZA Mk I> [Antarctic] @_@
[20:54] * Frey Felinus [Antartica] has wandered off on his own a bit
[20:56] <ELIZA Mk I> [Antarctic] What was I just saying?
[20:56] <ELIZA Mk I> [Antarctic] And where are the others?
[20:56] <ELIZA Mk I> [Antarctic] <.<
[20:56] <ELIZA Mk I> [Antarctic] >.>
[20:56] * Capt. David O`Cain [Antartic] is scanning walls, floors and ceilings for glyphs
[20:56] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] interesting take, Eliza, and probably accurate too
[20:56] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctica] keeps an eye on Frey
[20:57] * ELIZA Mk I [Antarctic] climbs all the way to the top of the building. She is too strong to fall because she is weak, but she weighs half a ton. She moves to keep an eye on David.
[20:57] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] Frey, your instincts telling you anything?
[20:57] *** David..you find these.....




[20:57] <->




[20:58] <->








[20:59] * Capt. David O`Cain [Antartic] snaps a picture with his helmet's visor of those glyphs, "Score."
[20:59] *** Capt. David O`Cain [Antartic] has turned their sound on
[21:00] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctica] turns to see what David's found
[21:00] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] Frey... frey! look
[21:00] <Frey Felinus> [Antartica] huh?
[21:00] * Frey Felinus [Antartica] walks over to look
[21:00] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctica] points to the glyphs David found
[21:02] <Frey Felinus> [Antartica] ...
[21:02] <Frey Felinus> [Antartica] they do look like the ones in the visions...
[21:02] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] Let's pay more attention to this area
[21:02] * ELIZA Mk I [Antarctic] nods, ands tarts looking around.
[21:03] * Capt. David O`Cain [Antartic] looks around some more in order to hunt for more glyphs
[21:04] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctica] looks around for signs of hidden entrances, controls, etc. indicatgors of the next stage in their travels.
[21:04] * ELIZA Mk I [Antarctic] looksf or Glyphs, but makes sure not to let David out of her sight.
[21:05] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctica] greately dislikes that she's basically travelled here on puere faith and is now trying to get the hard evidence to justify it
[21:06] * ELIZA Mk I [Antarctic] doesn't think about that, and just tries to help. ^_^
[21:07] * ELIZA Mk I [Antarctic] looks around for more glyphs, and also checks if the streets form a shape that they are looking for.
[21:08] * Frey Felinus [Antartica] yawns and leans on a wall with his hand
[21:08] *** has joined #suburbansenshi2

[21:09] <spiritflame> ELIZA Mk I rolls 1d20 [ 19 ]
[21:09] * ELIZA Mk I [Antarctic] checsk that Frey is leaning on a wall that is safe to lean on !
[21:10] * Alldrogis Valkyvida [Omake Mode] holds an arm out.
[21:10] * Alldrogis Valkyvida has moved to: [ Antartica ]
[21:11] *** the ENTIRE city suddenly shimmers briefly with glyphs
[21:11] *** A bunch of tiny things that almost look like gnats start to emerge from a slot on his vambrace and begin to fly around.
[21:11] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] ....whoa
[21:11] * ELIZA Mk I [Antarctic] notes this, and quickly looks all around to see as many of them as possible!
[21:11] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antartica] I've just released a swarm of scanner drones.
[21:11] * Frey Felinus [Antartica] QUICKLY removes hi shand form the wall >_>
[21:12] * Alldrogis Valkyvida [Antartica] examines the glyphs and runs them through his own decryption algorithms
[21:12] <Capt. David O`Cain> [Antartic] ?
[21:13] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antartica] I'm going to try and assemble a 3-D map of the area we're in.
[21:13] *** your Algoritm goes into a spasm and shuts down
[21:13] <ELIZA Mk I> [Antarctic] Be careful to not draw too much attention. Thre is something else out there!
[21:13] * ELIZA Mk I [Antarctic] lookst o Sakura Amamiya---"Right?"
[21:13] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antartica] ...My decryption algorithm failed? That shouldn't be possible.
[21:14] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antartica] More Shoggoths?
[21:14] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] Right,
[21:14] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] Btu we should do what we can, as well, or we'll never progress.
[21:15] <ELIZA Mk I> [Antarctic] I looked at all the glyphs that showed up for a moment.
[21:15] <ELIZA Mk I> [Antarctic] I'm going to try not to think about them.
[21:15] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antartica] My scanner drones are all the size of fleas, and exceptionally quiet, so they shouldn't be too conspicuous.
[21:15] <ELIZA Mk I> [Antarctic] But... do you want to see them?
[21:15] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antartica] Yes, I'd like to see them, Eliza.
[21:15] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] Yes
[21:16] * ELIZA Mk I [Antarctic] nods.
[21:17] * ELIZA Mk I [Antarctic] realizes hse isn't sure how to show this to Sakura Amamiya Peinforte.
[21:17] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] see if your eyes can send the data to my specs
[21:17] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antartica] Something wrong, Eliza?
[21:18] <Frey Felinus> [Antartica] >_>
[21:18] <Frey Felinus> [Antartica] <_<
[21:19] <ELIZA Mk I> [Antarctic] I'm trying to figure something out, sorry.
[21:19] <spiritflame> ELIZA Mk I rolls 1d20 [ 15 ]
[21:19] * Frey Felinus [Antartica] pokes the wall he leaned on....and a few glphs glow at his touch
[21:19] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antartica] Frey, whatever you're doing...keep doing it.
[21:20] *** ELIZA Mk I concentrates, and suddenly, Sakura can see the glyphs that Eliza saw overlaid in her glasses.
[21:20] * Frey Felinus [Antartica] withdraws his hand and the glphs vanish
[21:20] *** the glyphs on the glasses seem to join and then....POP...the glasses shut down
[21:20] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctica] then uses the glasses to holoproject them for the oth---
[21:21] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] FRATZ
[21:21] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctica] tries to reboot her glasses to at least get them working again
[21:21] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antartica] ...Maybe we should just WRITE down what we're seeing?
[21:21] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] I hate reality-altering typographies
[21:21] *** Sakura..you reboot the glasses..but it's now lost all it's data
[21:21] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] I think the shapes themselves actually disturb reality
[21:22] <ELIZA Mk I> [Antarctic] Well, i'll keep not thinking about them, then.
[21:22] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] like when the Logpolitians had to use their minds for Block Transfer Computations because the quations themselves would wreck any computer that tried to...
[21:22] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] ....
[21:22] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] is this... the same thing?
[21:22] * Alldrogis Valkyvida [Antartica] attempts to READ the glyphs using his own experience and memories in dealing with THOUSANDS of languages.
[21:22] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] Xan these olny be processed in mind
[21:23] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] ^Can
[21:23] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antartica] Or maybe the information the glyphs convey so much information that it overloads most computers.
[21:23] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] Well, let's see what you've got, Alldrogis
[21:23] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antartica] The Elder Things did make use of biological components in a lot of their technology.
[21:24] * Alldrogis Valkyvida [Antartica] tries to read.
[21:25] * ELIZA Mk I [Antarctic] keeps looking for where David is.
[21:25] * ELIZA Mk I [Antarctic] si mply doesn't think any further about these glyphs.
[21:26] *** the letters match NO form of language, Alldrogis
[21:27] * Alldrogis Valkyvida [Antartica] is als trying to copy the glyphs onto paper.
[21:27] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antartica] They match no form of language. At least not one that I'm familiar with.
[21:28] * Alldrogis Valkyvida [Antartica] tries touching the glyphs directly.
[21:29] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctica] takes out a paper, pencil and paper
[21:29] * ELIZA Mk I [Antarctic] watches what was going on, realizes something, and smiles. ^_^
[21:29] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctica] takes out a string
[21:29] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctica] draws a glyphe on a paper, and then threads a string through the paper
[21:29] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctica] spins the paper on its axis
[21:30] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctica] tires to see if the glyph describes a 3D structure
[21:31] *** as you spin it, the glyph seems to glow slightly but does nothing else.............
[21:31] <Frey Felinus> [Antartica] >_>
[21:32] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] ...still, it was affected...
[21:32] <Frey Felinus> [Antartica] hey you...something
[21:32] <Capt. David O`Cain> [Antartic] Amazing...
[21:32] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antartica] Try to determine what the glyph would form if it was being viewed with FIVE eyes.
[21:33] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antartica] I think we're forgetting something significant: the writers weren't humanoids.
[21:33] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antartica] How would they appear to an Elder Thing.
[21:33] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctica] draws four more copies and tries to align them to correspond with quinocual vision
[21:33] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] ^quinocular
[21:34] *** nothing happens...just looks a mess
[21:34] <Frey Felinus> [Antartica] ...HEY
[21:34] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctica] tries with six...
[21:34] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antartica] Yes Frey?
[21:35] <ELIZA Mk I> [Antarctic] Whate if they were blind, and they didn't read them with their eyes at all?
[21:35] * Frey Felinus [Antartica] just..waits it out while they experiment
[21:35] *** Sakura..nothing happens
[21:36] * ELIZA Mk I [Antarctic] goes over to Frey. "Were you saying something?
[21:37] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antartica] It's possible. Their anatomy was also pentagonal. Star-shaped.
[21:37] <Frey Felinus> [Antartica] ..so if these things built it..
[21:37] <Frey Felinus> [Antartica] why does it work with touch?
[21:38] * Frey Felinus [Antartica] puts his hand on the wall again..and the glphs shimmer
[21:38] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctica] tries touching it herself
[21:38] * Alldrogis Valkyvida [Antartica] tries to decypher the writing with pentagonal geometry in mind, this time basing it less on linguistics and more on mathematics
[21:38] * ELIZA Mk I [Antarctic] is RIGHT THERE, and for sure gets a glimpse of these glyphs.
[21:38] *** Sakura, it shimmers under the touch
[21:39] *** Alldrogis...it does seem to be mathmatic based
[21:39] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] So this was done by a different race, you're implying, Frey
[21:40] <Capt. David O`Cain> [Antartic] Works by touch. Like braile.
[21:40] <ELIZA Mk I> [Antarctic] Oooh, maybe I was right! ^_^
[21:40] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antartica] Also...this seems to be mathematic in nature.
[21:41] * Capt. David O`Cain [Antartic] runs a finger along the glyphs he found slowly
[21:41] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] Try analyzing it in the context of a base-six system
[21:41] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antartica] Amamiya, Eliza, please try decyphering it using advanced mathematics as a base.
[21:41] <ELIZA Mk I> [Antarctic] I think I should not do that.
[21:42] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antartica] Fair enough, Eliza. Don't push yourself more than you feel comfortable with right now.
[21:42] * Alldrogis Valkyvida [Antartica] tries analyzing it the way Amamiya suggested.
[21:42] <ELIZA Mk I> [Antarctic] I just don't know if that is going to prove helpful.
[21:43] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] Well we want to be able to read whatever it is they're trying to say
[21:43] <ELIZA Mk I> [Antarctic] i 'm not afraid to do it. But if it shuts down impregnable electronics systems, and my body is an electronic system...
[21:43] *** Alldrogis..you find it IS base 6 based!!!
[21:43] <ELIZA Mk I> [Antarctic] If something disastrous happened to me, I couldn't help you as effectively.
[21:43] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] Completely fair.
[21:43] *** David....as you trace it....the glyphs suddenly stay glowing.................
[21:43] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antartica] It IS a base-six system.
[21:44] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] ..look, he can keep them lit
[21:44] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] What's so sifferent about him?
[21:44] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] ^different
[21:44] <Frey Felinus> [Antartica] ..maybe cause he traced them in order!
[21:44] <Capt. David O`Cain> [Antartic] I...have no idea.
[21:45] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] ... in order?
[21:45] <Capt. David O`Cain> [Antartic] I just simply ran my finger along the glyphs.
[21:45] * Alldrogis Valkyvida [Antartica] quickly develops an improved base-six decryption routine and continues to focus on the writing.
[21:45] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctica] tries to see What he was tracing
[21:45] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] If these are in order...
[21:46] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] maybe it can become thebasis for a translation system or at least a means of understanding the logic behind their arrangement
[21:47] *** it was the same symbols as David saw eariler
[21:48] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctica] tries to look for those symbols exactly
[21:48] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antartica] Eventually, yes. The Elder Things weren't dumb. Their writing would have been designed to convey as much information as possible, as precisely as possible. They were scientists and researchers in the purest form.
[21:48] <ELIZA Mk I> [Antarctic] This could just be the city's way to read which way the subway is.
[21:49] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] perhaps
[21:49] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] Now this is base-six
[21:49] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antartica] They were also exceptionally immoral in the application of their research.
[21:49] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] that would line up with ancient Quinox-adjacent civilisation perhaps
[21:49] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] maybe not the same crafters as you think, Alldrogis.
[21:49] <Capt. David O`Cain> [Antartic] By the Six.
[21:49] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] Just so.
[21:50] <ELIZA Mk I> [Antarctic] aaaaaah, I get it!
[21:50] <Frey Felinus> [Antartica] ...
[21:50] * ELIZA Mk I [Antarctic] looks excited now.
[21:50] * Sakura Amamiya Peinforte looks at Capt. David O`Cain.
[21:50] *** Capt. David O`Cain is a Soldier of the Moon Kingdom Army in armor or uniform and is the leader of a Platoon of troops from the 13th Platoon, 55th Mechanized Regiment dubbed the Jolly Rogers Platoon More information about him is Here.
His image Song is: .
[21:50] <Frey Felinus> [Antartica] but we never had anything like this?
[21:50] * Alldrogis Valkyvida [Antartica] tries using the Base-Six translator in conjunction with everything he knows about Quinoxian language. Is there a correlation?
[21:51] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] The people known as the Ancient Egyptians, back in their day, also knew of an Ancient Egypt that was just as lost in time to them as Ancient Egypt is to us.
[21:51] *** there doesn't seem to be a match that you can tell........? at least on record
[21:51] * ELIZA Mk I [Antarctic] listens. She lets THEM analyze it.
[21:52] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] Is it possible, Frey, that you did, in a prehistory so deep it is sunken even from yor race-memory?
[21:52] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] ..._or_ you were made to forget it?
[21:52] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] Just like everyone forgot the Aegis Senshi?
[21:52] <Frey Felinus> [Antartica] ...I guess?
[21:53] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] Let's assume, for the moment, this is some kind of ancient Quinox-related culture
[21:53] <Frey Felinus> [Antartica] ok. let's assume?
[21:53] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] some behavioral pattersn persist through eras
[21:54] * ELIZA Mk I [Antarctic] listens.
[21:54] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] If the Quinoxians had a city like this...
[21:54] <Capt. David O`Cain> [Antartic] Hmmmm...
[21:54] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] Where would they put the things most imoportant to them in it? In the centre? Underground?
[21:55] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antartica] Probably in someplace defensible that could be monitored.
[21:55] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antartica] In the center AND underground.
[21:55] <ELIZA Mk I> [Antarctic] Or where the light wouldn't touch it.
[21:55] <Capt. David O`Cain> [Antartic] I don't know. A vault of some kind?
[21:55] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] I'm just trying to see if ....
[21:55] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctica] snaps her fingers
[21:55] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] Eliza, good point
[21:56] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] this whole complex is steeped in Darkness. What if it's not just for the creep factor
[21:56] <Frey Felinus> [Antartica] I mean light does bother us...
[21:57] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antartica] Of course it wouldn't have been for the creep factor.
[21:57] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] Pretend for a minute this is just quinox
[21:57] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antartica] Light might not bother US, but what if it bothers whatever is down here?
[21:57] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] and you're run across an old building
[21:57] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] where would you go if you were checking it out
[21:58] <Capt. David O`Cain> [Antartic] Inside?
[21:58] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antartica] I'd start with the perimeter, then move inside.
[21:58] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] But are doors done in any special way?
[21:58] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antartica] Then go towards the center and move outward, searching systematically.
[21:59] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] I'm trying to overlay modern Quinoxian sensibilities on this
[21:59] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] To see if there's any indight that can help us get closer to some answers
[21:59] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] There'
[21:59] * Alldrogis Valkyvida [Antartica] contacts his scanner drones and looks to see if they can discern any kind of pattern in the layout of the area and buildings.
[21:59] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] There's something here we're meant to find, I'm sure of it
[22:00] *** the building layout is both very strange and sensable..also at the VERY far end there is another high high slope going up....
[22:00] <Frey Felinus> [Antartica] ..hey
[22:00] <Frey Felinus> [Antartica] can I ask a question here?
[22:00] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] Yes?
[22:00] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antartica] There's another slope going upwards at the far end of the city.
[22:01] <Frey Felinus> [Antartica] ...where's the power coming from
[22:01] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] That's a very good question
[22:01] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] We would track the flor back to its source
[22:01] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] ^could treack the flow
[22:02] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antartica] Likely from whatever power sources the Elder Things utilized. Probably some kind of cosmic energy tap
[22:02] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctica] looks for any kind of conduit or energy channels
[22:02] * ELIZA Mk I [Antarctic] waves to get Sakura Amamiya Peinforte and Alldrogis Valkyvida's attention.
[22:02] <ELIZA Mk I> [Antarctic] Psst
[22:02] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antartica] Yes, Eliza?
[22:02] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] Yes, Eliza?
[22:02] *** there is nothing
[22:03] <ELIZA Mk I> [Antarctic] The next time you try to visualize the runes, don't try to visualize them all. What if you only tried to view a couple---SIX at most, at once?
[22:03] <Capt. David O`Cain> [Antartic] Huh?
[22:03] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antartica] Good suggestion. I'll try that right now, Eliza.
[22:03] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] Is the power coming from us?
[22:03] <ELIZA Mk I> [Antarctic] It might be a---straw for the camel back thing.
[22:03] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctica] tries scaning just six at a time starting with the ones David lit up
[22:03] <ELIZA Mk I> [Antarctic] Thanks! I'm glad I'm behing helpful. ^_^
[22:04] * Alldrogis Valkyvida [Antartica] tries decyphering the glyphs, still using the Base-Six mode, only visualizing FIVE or SIX at a time. Starting with five to keep in mind the Elder Things' pentagonal anatomy.
[22:04] *** you scan the six...and then immediatly your glasses fill with the letters............
[22:05] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antartica] Wait...
[22:05] *** it doesn't seem to be a regular language, Alldrogis...mathmatic at best...
[22:06] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antartica] I may be onto something.
[22:06] * Alldrogis Valkyvida [Antartica] tries to calculate the math.
[22:06] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctica] regards the letters
[22:07] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antartica] It doesn't seem to be an actual language. It may be that the language is entirely mathematical in nature.'

[22:08] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctica] tries to check if that is a correspondence
[22:08] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antartica] ...
[22:08] * Alldrogis Valkyvida [Antartica] tries comparing the numbers to stellar coordinates.
[22:09] * Alldrogis Valkyvida [Antartica] factors in for over 30 million years of time passing.
[22:11] *** it doesn' tmatch any coordinates...
[22:12] * Alldrogis Valkyvida [Antartica] tries to determine if it's a magical formula.
[22:12] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] so it's maths, eh
[22:12] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] and too much maths overloads the computer...
[22:13] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctica] tries to remember what her adopticve mother taught her
[22:13] <ELIZA Mk I> [Antarctic] I can relate to that. The math must be hard.
[22:13] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antartica] Unless the computer in question has five brains working independently of each other.
[22:13] <ELIZA Mk I> [Antarctic] Just people using big words makes it hard to follow them. Maybe this is the same.
[22:13] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctica] looks around at the glyphs and tries to associate by frequency, which glyph might mean "1" 2" "3" "4" "5" and "6"
[22:14] <ELIZA Mk I> [Antarctic] What if the words and numbers are the same thing?
[22:14] <spiritflame> ELIZA Mk I rolls 1d20 [ 14 ]
[22:14] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] I'm thinking what if they are Block Transfer Equations that need to be incanted
[22:14] <ELIZA Mk I> [Antarctic] You know? Like Roman numerals? Like how something would be a Mk I, or Mark V?
[22:14] <ELIZA Mk I> [Antarctic] :o
[22:14] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] Possible...
[22:14] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antartica] More than likely, Eliza. The problem is that we don't have any kind of cypher to understand what numbers mean what.
[22:15] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] I'm guessing based on statistical analysis what these glyphs might mean numerically
[22:15] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antartica] It's like codebreaking. Particularly, the Enigma Code from World War 2
[22:15] * Frey Felinus [Antartica] just....let the others do things.....
[22:15] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctica] then tries to Block Transfer Incant the first set of sigils on this basis
[22:15] * Capt. David O`Cain [Antartic] tries to find another set of glyphs nearby
[22:16] *** roll 1d10, Sakura
[22:16] * ELIZA Mk I [Antarctic] does try to think of where the power is coming from.
[22:16] <spiritflame> @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte rolls 1d10 [ 8 ]
[22:16] <ELIZA Mk I> [Antarctic] !!!!
[22:16] * ELIZA Mk I [Antarctic] stops.
[22:17] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antartica] Eliza?
[22:18] <ELIZA Mk I> [Antarctic] ???
[22:18] <ELIZA Mk I> [Antarctic] yES?
[22:18] <ELIZA Mk I> [Antarctic] What did you say?
[22:18] *** Sakura you suddenly feel like your entire insides are ripped out..but you don't feel it..............rather..you feel a sensation of being FLUNG bodly into nothingness..and everything...and nothing...it lasts for but a brief second and leaves you utterly motion sick
[22:18] * Alldrogis Valkyvida [Antartica] keeps trying to decypher the glyphs, this time trying to determine if they're some kind of chronological record or index.
[22:18] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctica] DOUBLES OVER
[22:18] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] BLEAUGH!
[22:18] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antartica] You seemed to get startled, Eliza.
[22:19] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctica] coughs
[22:19] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] That did... that did Something
[22:19] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antartica] Amamiya? What just happened to you?
[22:19] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] there's a definite relationship between the Glyphs-as-questions and reality manipulation
[22:19] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] I tried bloc-transfer-incanting / computing someone
[22:20] * Frey Felinus [Antartica] notices something and wanders off to it....
[22:20] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] and I felt like I was being turned insdie out
[22:20] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] Imean I could have got the numbers wrong
[22:20] <ELIZA Mk I> [Antarctic] I realized that just thinking about them could be dangerous, and stopped. Based on what has happened to our Time Lord friend, that might have been the right path.
[22:20] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] but the fact Something happened at all is insstructive
[22:20] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctica] groans
[22:20] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antartica] I have an idea, Amamiya. Try the same thing, but on ME while I repeat what you were going.
[22:21] * Frey Felinus [Antartica] glances up at a strange tall monolith like this with wrapped flower like vine protructions...
[22:21] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antartica] ^were doing.
[22:21] * Frey Felinus [Antartica] blinks...
[22:21] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] Well I don't really know how to do it on someone, I just sort of incant and spacetime is affected
[22:22] <ELIZA Mk I> [Antarctic] We might have gotten enough to work on this from where we started off.
[22:22] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctica] thinks thinks thinks
[22:22] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] TARDIS Architectual Confogiration Programs have to be able to process BTCs
[22:22] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] but that only works because a TARDIS is alive
[22:22] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctica] TILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLTS her head to the side
[22:23] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] ..................
[22:23] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] Is this structure...
[22:23] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] ....
[22:23] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antartica] ???
[22:23] <ELIZA Mk I> [Antarctic] I remember hearing those words.
[22:23] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] Is this structgure alive
[22:23] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antartica] There's one way to find out.
[22:23] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] That's why it can handle the presence of these glyphs?
[22:23] <Capt. David O`Cain> [Antartic] What?
[22:24] * Alldrogis Valkyvida [Antartica] looks around for anything that looks like it might be an interface console.
[22:24] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] Are these its... operating instructions in a sense?
[22:24] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctica] presses one hand on a wall and tries to telepathically reach out to the structure in the way she might a TARDIS
[22:24] *** there is NO interfaces or consoles....
[22:24] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antartica] Anything's possible. For all we know, it could be some kind of Elder Thing practical joke and the message actually reads "Stupid humans, we wasted your time!"
[22:25] * Frey Felinus [Antartica] reaches out and touches one of the vine things........
[22:25] * ELIZA Mk I [Antarctic] waits.
[22:25] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] A city for ants indeed
[22:25] *** Sakura, you can't..sense any sort of mind or telepathy but there's....some kind of energy...
[22:26] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] There's no mind that corresponds to one I know, but there is an energy
[22:26] * Alldrogis Valkyvida [Antartica] goes up to the wall, desolidifies his hand, presses it to the wall, and attempts to directly interface with the material via nanotech using a method similar to Borg Assimilation.
[22:26] *** you all hear Frey scream
[22:26] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antartica] O___O
[22:26] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctica] pulsl back from the wall and runs over to him
[22:26] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] Frey!
[22:27] * Capt. David O`Cain [Antartic] rushes to where Frey is
[22:27] * ELIZA Mk I [Antarctic] seems ot be much more concerned about checking if something or someone overheard this outburst.
[22:27] * Frey Felinus [Antartica] is down on the ground...
[22:27] * Alldrogis Valkyvida [Antartica] still has scanner drones surveying the area.
[22:27] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctica] checks on him
[22:28] *** you can all see the vine along the monolith strutture glowing.......
[22:28] <Capt. David O`Cain> [Antartic] The hell happened?
[22:28] * Alldrogis Valkyvida [Antartica] detaches from the wall and hurries over to the monolith.
[22:28] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctica] looks at the vine
[22:28] * Alldrogis Valkyvida [Antartica] scans the monolith.
[22:28] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] I think that happened to him
[22:29] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antartica] Did anyone see what he did before he screams and collapsed?
[22:29] *** the vine is almost flower like.....
[22:29] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] I was too focused on the wall
[22:29] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Antartica] ^screamed
[22:29] <Capt. David O`Cain> [Antartic] What Sakura said.
[22:29] *** the ground starts to shake...................
[22:29] * Alldrogis Valkyvida [Antartica] examines the vine CLOSELY.
[22:29] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctica] scans the vine with her sonic shad--
[22:29] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] Wha...
[22:30] * ELIZA Mk I [Antarctic] looks and looks adn looks if something is approaching now!
