<@DeathStar> Date: 10-664.3.26 - the next day
<@DeathStar> Location: A Small Village on the Kumen Plains
<@DeathStar> *Asarar wakes up in the one room inn in the village - the village being so small their only inn only have one room for every guest. Outside at their ship that was parked some ways away from the village, Celine tinkers with the magical armor that they found, learning about in safety so neither the ship nor the town is put in danger*
<@DeathStar> *Bonnie sits up, rubbing her face in one of the other beds, looking around and not spotting Cloe*
<@DeathStar> *Celine makes the armor grow until it becomes Gear sized and steps back*
<@Jackieness> <Bella> *is already out of bed, doign sit up on the floor of her room*
<@DeathStar> *Cloe claps her hands as Celine makes the Magical Gear move about*
<@DeathStar> <Bonnie> I see everyone are early risers. *She gets to her feet*
<@Jackieness> <Bella> "I'm still on ship time."
<@DeathStar> <Asarar> I wonder if the crappy village has any places to eat
<@Seraphna> **Luci yawns and steps out in her gear, accompanied by a smaller Luci with Tiger features.
<@Jackieness> <Kira> "The inn is probably the local cafe too."
<@DeathStar> <Asarar> If that's the case, then we should go back to the ship
<@Seraphna> Luci> Lookin' for grub?
<@DeathStar> <Asarar> Are you going to offer us something you hunted?
<@Jackieness> <Kira> "It had better not be too rare."
<@Seraphna> Luci> I was gonna pay for food at the local diner.
<@Seraphna> Luci> BUt I guess I can hunt something.
<@Seraphna> Nell> Aww, I wanted steaks.
<@DeathStar> <Bonnie> I did some scouting. There is no local diner
<@DeathStar> <Bonnie> Town's too small
<@Seraphna> Luci> Anything?
<@DeathStar> <Bonnie> Nadda. The inn might offer us whatever the innkeepers are eating though
<@Seraphna> Luci> Holy crap, I thought even abadoned zombie towns were supposed to have diners. Our media has bad writers.
<@Jackieness> <Bella> *hops on to her feet in one move*
<@DeathStar> <Asarar> You want to ask the innkeepers or go to the ship?
<@Seraphna> Luci> Ship it is.
<@Seraphna> Nell> Seniga packed me a snack with the explosives.
<@Jackieness> <Kira> "Right. Packs up team and return to the ship."
<@DeathStar> <Bonnie> I'm shocked she let you leave her business. Aren't you her heavy?
<@DeathStar> *Asarar steps out of inn and walks down the street - the village being so small it isn't a long walk to exit the village, however. There's only a few buildings and homes in it*
<@DeathStar> *the men of the village seem to be setting out to work the land near the river, nodding to them as they go*
<@Seraphna> **Luci and Nell head to the ship, where Amber is still obsessing over the suit**
<@DeathStar> *the group approaches the ship where they would spot the Magic Gear; Cloe seems to be watching in awe as Celine is making it unleash a magic shield around itself and form a magic sword. However, due to the lack of mana on Kumen, the gear suddenly seems to run out of power and deforms back into a more of a power sized gear size*
<@DeathStar> *Bonnie peers at Nell not answering and shugs*
<@DeathStar> <Celine> It seems to eat a lot of mana.
<@DeathStar> *she takes it off and hands it back to Amber*
<@Jackieness> <Bella> "Yeah...its run out of juice."
<@Seraphna> Nell> Mmm? Oh we're in communication. I came to check on Mom as a favor.
<@DeathStar> *Melodie and Aimee see the others approaching and bring down the ramp some food supplies from their ship*
<@DeathStar> <Asarar> So - since this village clearly has no Corporation presence, what can we expect here, Melodie.
<@DeathStar> *Melodie brings up the large forest near the river and the village* <Melodie> This forest is what provides this village it's food and other supplies. The river runs actually into the forest somewhat. You are probably wondering what makes this village so special since we're looking for Ymir and at the same time stuff that might interest out Magi friends here.
<@DeathStar> <Aimee> Our sensors are being bounced back from the forest. Something in that forest - either man made or natural - cannot penetrate that forest.
<@Seraphna> Luci> If it's bouncing back it's either an extremely rare metal enclosure or tech.
<@Jackieness> <Kira> "Corporations might have a facility out there. Probably an undergroudn bunker."
<@DeathStar> <Melodie> Rare metal or not, our sensors are made of spirit-tech and normal tech.
<@DeathStar> <Melodie> And neither work
<@Jackieness> <Bella> "Active shielding then. That means a power source."
<@DeathStar> <Asarar> Even if it's not the Corporations, sooner or later they'll notice and come investigating it
<@DeathStar> <Asarar> After all, they're spreading out
<@DeathStar> <Bonnie> I guess that means we're going into the forest
<@DeathStar> <Melodie> Aimee and I will come with you this time - we'll help you locate the source. *the two change their outfits into Indiana Jones type outfits*
<@Jackieness> <Kira> "Could also be somethign that was built before the teraforming, then the forest grew over it."
<@DeathStar> <Celine> Ooo. That sounds more interesting
<@Seraphna> **Nell grrrs** Well, if there's a chance Mom is there we'd better check.
<@DeathStar> *she shrinks the Gear into what appears to be an amulet with writing on it and hands it to Amber*
<@Jackieness> <Kira> "While we're out, we need to make sure the ship is staffed and secured, especially with that suit we dug out from the mine."
<@DeathStar> <Cloe> I'll stay behind
<@DeathStar> *Cloe wiggles, looking like she has evil plans*
<@DeathStar> *Bonnie narrows eyes* You want me to stay behind, too?
<@Seraphna> Amber> Well, this makes moving it around much easier.
<@Jackieness> <Bella> "You sure, Cloe?"
<@DeathStar> <Cloe> I completely don't intend to try to fly the ship or anything
<@DeathStar> *Cloe looks innocent. Melodie and Aimee deadpan*
<@DeathStar> <Bonnie> I'll stay with her and keep her out of trouble.
<@Jackieness> <Kira> "Thank you, Bonnie."
<@DeathStar> *Bonnie drags Cloe up into the ship* <Cloe> Aw. *actually sulks*
<@DeathStar> <Melodie> If that is over, please follow us. *The two spirits set off toward the river*
<@DeathStar> <Asarar> I admit, I am unsure how useful I will be in a forest. *She follows along; Celine stretching, the wolf werebeast looking around* <Celine> I like forests.
<@Seraphna> **Luci and Amber follow while Nell settles back to relax in the ship for now and catch up with Cloe**
<@Seraphna> Luci> It does favor us with more physical skillsets.
<@Jackieness> <Bella> "If we find a bunker or soemthing, then we'll start needing tech skills, mom."
<@DeathStar> *the men who were going toward the river seem to be gone already. Melodie and Aimee glance around, peering into the river and studying the fish*
<@Seraphna> Luci> Eh, if we run into something just keep behind me.
<@DeathStar> <Asarar> If we run into something, I'll be sure to pick you up and throw you at the problem
<@Seraphna> Luci> I'm better standing still these days. You'll see.
<@DeathStar> *Melodie and Aimee follow along the river when a large bear like creature comes out and charges at the two. The two somehow almost teleport behind Luci, standing behind her*
<@DeathStar> *The creature roars and rises up on it's two legs, trying to seem larger*
<@Jackieness> <Kira> "Luci, scare it off."
<@Seraphna> **LUci turns and her eyes glow as she growls, projecting her Dragon Aura**
<@DeathStar> *The creature comes down on all four, sniffs and runs off back toward where it came - which seems to be the forest up ahead*
<@Seraphna> Luci> Wimp.
<@DeathStar> <Melodie> There it is. *she points at the forest - it looks to be very dense*
<@DeathStar> <Asarar> I don't suppose we could just set it on fire
<@DeathStar> <Asarar> The forest that is
<@Jackieness> <Bella> "Mom, come on!"
<@DeathStar> <Asarar> *sigh* Very well. Lets becareful, everyone
<@DeathStar> *Asarar walks along the river edge into the forest; Melodie and Aimee seem to be looking everywhere, their heads jerking about as if sensing stuff. The river seems to be continuing into the heart of the forest for now*
<@Seraphna> Luci> It would also give us away. And I like my wives non-crispy.
<@Seraphna> **Amber muses, feeling out the trees and water in the area with two of her pacts**
<@DeathStar> <Celine> You do realize Ymir could be in another facility - I mean, we haven't seen a single sign of a Corporation being here yet
<@Seraphna> Luci> The less I see the more likely I think that's the location. She's being hidden... so a hidden facility would make the most sense.
<@DeathStar> <Celine> I'm holding out hope it's a magical relic myself
<@Jackieness> <Kira> "Is she being hidden or is she hiding?"
<@Seraphna> Luci> I don't know, but wherever she is, it's blocked my bond entirely.
<@Seraphna> Luci> I know she's alive, that's it.
<@DeathStar> *something seems to be staring at them from the water; two eyes peering at them*
<@DeathStar> *as for the trees, the group would notice lots of snakes*
<@DeathStar> <Asarar> ... *shudder and moves closer to Kira*
<@DeathStar> <Asarar> Is this a jungle or a forest
<@Jackieness> <Kira> "Its an engineered forest, so they probably overdid it."
<@DeathStar> <Celine> Well we should avoid taking a swim in the water
<@DeathStar> *she grabs one of the snakes and studies it* <Celine> They're harmless either way.
<@DeathStar> *she tosses it away*
<@Seraphna> **Luci grabs one and looks it over carefully, sniffing**
<@DeathStar> <Asarar> Tell me you do not plan to keep that thing
<@DeathStar> *The snake seems to curl around Luci's arm*
<@Seraphna> Luci> This is a pet species.
<@Seraphna> Luci> They sell them in the city. Non poisonous and they only bite things that hurt them, like a dog or cat.
<@DeathStar> <Aimee> Why would people want pet snakes? <Asarar> Ugh
<@Seraphna> Luci> They find them cute and call them danger noodles.
<@DeathStar> <Asarar> So we stumbled upon a snake breeding ring, great.
<@Jackieness> <Kira> "Focus. This isn't a shopping trip."
<@DeathStar> *Melodie and Aimee point* <Aimee> We have something. *they cut through the forest proper*
<@Jackieness> <Bella> "Stay together." *move sin after the pair*
<@Seraphna> **Luci walks along, petting the snake**
<@DeathStar> *Asarar and Celine follow along; the bad thing is the forest seems to look mostly the same as the river is soon out of sight. Trees, trees, trees, occassionally moss or other things grow on them, snakes an alligator, a bear can be seen, some flying bird or something on the tree, but there are no land marks to tell things apart. Just the team following Melodie and Aimee deeper in. Even with it not being mid-day, the light isn't that great, making it feel like it is later than it really is*
<@Seraphna> Luci> Mmm, perhaps I should have brought Nell along. She loves forest romps. But until we can confirm metal here she's limited in effectiveness.
<@DeathStar> <Asarar> I am beginning to learn the importance of having basic tools like chalk is important to mark a path back
<@DeathStar> <Melodie> I think we have something! *they sound proud, standing in front of a rock*
<@DeathStar> *the rock is taller than 6 feet, and seems to be rather round*
<@Seraphna> Luci> That's one oddly shaped rock.
<@Jackieness> <Kira> "Too round."
<@DeathStar> *Asarar walks around the large rock, studying it* <Asarar> We got lost in the woods for this?
<@Seraphna> **Luci muses and sees if she can lift it**
<@Jackieness> <Bella> *moves over to knock on the rock with her fist*
<@DeathStar> *Luci at first would find great resistance on lifting the rock, then suddenly it's ripped from the ground and the area begins to shake a bit. The trees around them seem to quiver and almost tilt for moment before returning to normal, and wind blasts out from the hole left behind where the rock was at, knocking everyone off their feet - the rock almost falling back where it was into the hole*
<@Seraphna> **Luci twists and dashes, leaping to kick it away from the hole**
<@DeathStar> *the rock flies off into the woods*
<@Seraphna> **Luci muses and inspects the hole**
<@DeathStar> *Asarar pushes herself to her feet and eyes the dark hole*
<@DeathStar> <Celine> Someone got a light?
<@Seraphna> Luci> What do you think, cap to an exhaust tunnel?
<@Seraphna> **Amber sends an orb of magic light down into it**
<@Jackieness> <Bella> "Holy crap. That was a serious air pressure difference!"
<@DeathStar> <Asarar> Whatever it was, I couldn't keep my balance
<@Seraphna> Luci> Yeah I think pressure was holding it in place. But luckily I'm a bit strong.
<@DeathStar> *the orb falls ---and falls ---- and falls. The group watches it seemingly fall forever into some abyss below before hitting the ground far far far far far below. Who knows how far below that might be. It'll break a normal person's legs though to jump in*
<@Seraphna> Luci> Well, we'll have to transport you squishies.
<@Seraphna> **Luci begins to create a platform over the hole a bit smaller than it, like an elevator**
<@DeathStar> <Melodie> I wonder if hell is down there
<@DeathStar> <Aimee> Definitely hell
<@Seraphna> Luci> Nah, that's way, way further down.
<@Seraphna> Luci> Our bartender runs it now.
<@Jackieness> <Kira> "Undergroudn bunker is it."
<@Seraphna> Amber> Do I want to know?
<@DeathStar> *Asarar grunts and gets on the platform with Celine. The two spirits get on*
<@Seraphna> **Luci gets on as Amber hops on, when everyone is on she slowly starts lowering it down**
<@Jackieness> * Kira and Bella step on the platform
<@DeathStar> *as they get on, Cloe and Bonnie suddenly contact them on the comms - but either due to how far they are in the forest, or due to them descending into the pit, the communication is breaking up*
<@Seraphna> Luci> Probably means we have heat.
<@DeathStar> <Bonnie comm> Tro.... ble...! You .... . inc... ing. Sudd... appe ed. Ed you ....y. Cloa ....to.... id.... ing ......een
<@DeathStar> <Cloe comm> Be.......cae......ul...... ......ing..... ast.....
<@Seraphna> Luci> Hmm.
<@Seraphna> **Amber muses and covers the hole by forming a fake rock over it**
<@Seraphna> **Luci lowers them down faster**
<@DeathStar> <Asarar> You think that'll work?
<@Jackieness> <Bella> "Would help if we could hear them."
<@Seraphna> Amber> It might fool them for a few moments, I have a feeling we're buying what time we have now.
<@Seraphna> Luci> Sounds like they were cloaking because corpos showed up around the moment I broke the seal.
<@DeathStar> *As they descend into the pitch darkness around them, the sheer size of the room they're in seems to be boggling - if one could see in the dark. As they reach the orb, they seem to land on something massive*
<@DeathStar> *the chamber, even with what they can make out in the darkness, seems to be larger than 100 football fields or more*
<@Seraphna> **Luci peers around and inspects the ground on them** This isn't a natural cave, not this big.
<@DeathStar> <Celine> Glad we didn't just leap in
<@Jackieness> <Kira> "Even if we set off an alarm, that reaction time was unnaturally fast."
<@Seraphna> Luci> It's more like someone was actively looking for something and we removed whatever was blocking them.
<@Seraphna> **Luci frowns and feels out both in the bond and in the energies around them**
<@DeathStar> *Luci wouldn't feel anything in this massive chamber of the damned*
<@DeathStar> <Melodie> There is something in here
<@Seraphna> Luci> I got nothing.
<@DeathStar> <Aimee> Definitely
<@Jackieness> <Bella> "That lends some weightto Ymir hiding, then."
<@Seraphna> **Amber feels out in spirit sense**
<@DeathStar> *there Amber wouldn't feel anything spirit wise - so what is it that the two spirits are sensing?*
<@Seraphna> Luci> If I lifted something blocking Ymir, I'd have felt that.
<@Seraphna> Amber> I'm not feeling spirit power here.
<@Seraphna> Amber> Mana? No...
<@Seraphna> Luci> Asarar, I think we're in your neck of the woods now.
<@DeathStar> <Melodie> It is not spirit. It is ... technology. Dormant technology
<@Jackieness> <Bella> "More Keeper or Croza stuff?"
<@DeathStar> <Asarar> Is it. *she muses and lays her hand on the ground, her hand glowing*
<@Seraphna> Amber> **senses our Mana sources, looking at Celine**
<@Seraphna> *out
<@DeathStar> <Asarar> There is powerful technology here. A bit out of my wheel house
<@Seraphna> Amber> Yes... I feel magical technology, no mana though.
<@Seraphna> Amber> We're in some kind of cache I think.
<@DeathStar> <Asarar> I'll see if I can't get lights on though
<@DeathStar> *a few moments pass as Asarar seems to be doing something, when suddenly brightness hits the room; they seem to be standing in a massive hanger of sorts that spans on and on and on and on. And they seem to be standing not on the hanger floor itself, but on top of some thing - a ship maybe?*
<@DeathStar> *it seems to rival the size of the Aquarius and the group jsut barely managed to land on top of it, a few more feet and they would have fallen off and even further down into the hanger floor*
<@Jackieness> <Bella> "Whoa! A ship?!"
<@Seraphna> Amber> I'm getting a feeling this is the ancient ancient version of the pyramid ships.
<@Seraphna> Luci> So we either need to go down more or find a top access.
<@DeathStar> *the ship is styled like the pyramids or even the Keeper ships. The ship looks almost normal in design and seems to be colored much like the Magic Armor; in fact, it shares a lot of the same traits*
<@DeathStar> *the hull looks to be made of the same material*
<@Jackieness> <Bella> "Wait...this must be a ship from the ancient human civilization. We need to find a hatch."
<@Seraphna> **Amber nods and slides down a little, lookinmg for where the upper hatch normally is**
<@Jackieness> <Bella> *goes looking*
<@Jackieness> <Kira> "How was this missed before? I mean before the trees."
<@DeathStar> *the group finds an entrance into the ship on the top - it looks like a door way that allows people to come up on top like they are doing, but it seems to be completely powered off*
<@DeathStar> <Asarar> I have no idea
<@DeathStar> <Asarar> You think the Croza would have found this
<@Seraphna> Luci> That rock... might have been some kind of ancient jamming device.
<@Jackieness> <Kira> "Or the Keppers, who were supposedly watching them."
<@Seraphna> Luci> I don't think they counted on anyone being here that was stronger than they were.
<@Seraphna> **Amber tries putting mana into it**
<@DeathStar> <Celine> Maybe the Keepers didn't care about the ship. And after the Croza War blew up the planet so much the surface where no person could explore, it just sat here.
<@Jackieness> <Kira> "Not everything is about strength, Luci."
<@DeathStar> <Celine> The rock thing is odd.
<@Seraphna> Luci> That's what people who are weak say.
<@DeathStar> *the door slides open*
<@Seraphna> Amber> Yep, runs off mana.
<@Seraphna> Amber> In a mana dead zone.
<@Seraphna> **Amber slips in**
<@Seraphna> **Luci shrugs and follows**
<@Jackieness> <Bella> *moves in as well*
<@DeathStar> *the air inside is stale and hard to breathe*
<@Jackieness> <Bella> "Ugh...the life support ahs been off for a very long time."
<@DeathStar> *the hallway leads them along a path where it splits off, one path seems to head toward the bridge, where the other path heads toward the rest of the ship; various panels run along the wall with guages in the older language, all of them powered off*
<@Seraphna> Luci> Oh right, you folks breathe.
<@DeathStar> <Asarar> Cute
<@Seraphna> Amber> We should try to secure the ship while we still have a chance.
<@Jackieness> <Kira> "Can you get this thing into the air?"
<@Seraphna> **Amber pulls out her bolero of mana crystals**
<@Seraphna> Amber> We should be able to at least get it running.
<@Jackieness> <Kira> "Letting Star Corps or whoever is up there get this thign would be bad."
<@DeathStar> *suddenly the ship shakes - and it's not them*
<@DeathStar> <Asarar> uh, we haven't powered this thing up yet have we?
<@Seraphna> Amber> That was from outside.
<@Seraphna> **Amber moves faster**
<@Jackieness> <Kira> "They may be trying to bblast their way down here."
<@Jackieness> <Bella> *tries closing up the top hatch*
<@DeathStar> *the door shuts*
<@DeathStar> *Asarar follows Amber to aid her while Melodie and Aimee move to the bridge with Celine - the bridge is a sleek looking place. Oddly there appears to be no view screen the Aquarius*
<@Jackieness> <Bella> "I'm cleared for flight ops. Hopefully, I cna fly it." *moves to the bridge*
<@DeathStar> *engineering, or whatever equates to it, looks to have a ton of magic writing all over the place , but also has places for magic stones*
<@DeathStar> *The ship jerks again and it feels like it's being lifted up*
<@Seraphna> **Amber begins to distribute the crystals where stones should go, not having time for research**
<@Seraphna> Luci> We're being shipjacked.
<@DeathStar> *engineering begins to power up and power begins to flow through the ship now; however, they still lack a view screen to see what is going on outside*
<@Jackieness> <Kira> "That's called stealing." *looks at the others* "Someone see if they cna raise the Aquarius on the comms."
<@Seraphna> Luci> Ship Girls, think you can reason out the controls?
<@DeathStar> <Melodie> We can try to hack out way into the ship
<@Jackieness> <Bella> *looks for the pilot station and takes a seat*
<@DeathStar> <Aimee> You do not mind?
<@Seraphna> Luci> Not at all.
<@Seraphna> Luci> Do what you're born to do, we trust you.
<@DeathStar> *The two look at each other, then touch the ship and begin to override it - despite being spirit tech, they begin to force their way into the ship*
<@DeathStar> <Melodie> Give us one moment - the ship will be ours
<@Seraphna> Luci> This is a hack job, but it's better than giving it over to those fucks that stole Mom's company.
<@DeathStar> *Bella would suddenly have a chair rise up in front of her*
<@Jackieness> <Bella> "Sweet." *takes a seat*
<@DeathStar> *And the entire bridge begins to have magic particles form to allow them to see in 360 vision as the girls hack controls; it appears the ship pulling them out is none other than Yurica Hildegard's ship - Kumen's main flag ship.*
<@DeathStar> *it has them in a tractor beam, and on other side of the ship is Star Corp ships*
<@Seraphna> Luci> Well, talk about a dick move.
<@Jackieness> <Bella> *skips the pre-flight and tries to cycle the drive system up*
<@Seraphna> Luci> I suppose we should give them one chance to do the right thing, or do we jhust blast their tractor beam?>
<@DeathStar> *the ship begins to power up*
<@DeathStar> <Asarar> That is the most powerful ship in the fleet. It was based off the Aquarius.
<@Jackieness> <Bella> "I have flight control."
<@Seraphna> Luci> And we're not letting them get more powerful with this one.
<@Jackieness> <Bella> "Hurry up because I'm not risking these ancient engines trying to fight that tractor beam."
<@DeathStar> <Asarar> We should also make sure they do not know ho we are
<@Seraphna> Amber> You have one bargaining chip. This thing won't run without mana.
<@DeathStar> <Asarar> Or we'll face more trouble back home.
<@Seraphna> Luci> Right.. mask our identities, blast it and get us out of here.
<@DeathStar> *Suddenly, a voice booms over the hailing system*
<@Jackieness> <Kira> "That also means we have limited time to get off world where its not mana dead before we drop out of the sky."
<@DeathStar> *Yurica's face appears on the screen*
<@Seraphna> **Luci immediately has a metal mask over her eyes, Char style**
<@DeathStar> <Yurica> Pirates - we will let you go if you stop resisting. This is an important relic.
<@DeathStar> *she can be seen leaning back in her chair, over confident*
<@Seraphna> Luci> **warped voice** Prospectors rights. 1.5 billion credits or we're taking it.
<@DeathStar> *Yurica jerks forward, angry now* <Yurica> You attempt to steal a relic of this value and now you're demanding credits? H-How brazen can you be?
<@Seraphna> Luci> 3 billion.
<@DeathStar> <Asarar> She's in a tough spot - she can't fire on us without risking the ship
<@DeathStar> <Melodie> Bella
<@DeathStar> <Melodie> We have scanned her ship. The weak point is here. *She sends it to her*
<@Seraphna> Luci> Unless you want to start studying the weapons systems fist hand.
<@DeathStar> <Yurica> Be prepared to face our weapons, pirates. I do not kneel to scum like you. Ymir will have to pick up the pieces later
<@DeathStar> *she cuts the transmission*
<@Seraphna> **Luci's eyes narrow behind her mask** That idiot.
<@Jackieness> <Bella> "So you want me to fire on them?"
<@Seraphna> Luci> Do it.
<@DeathStar> <Aimee> They're charging up some sort of secondary weapon
<@DeathStar> <Aimee> It's going to fry out systems and disable us
<@Seraphna> Luci> Don't let them finish. If they have Ymir they have the tech.
<@Jackieness> <Bella> "Hooo..ok." *brings up tactical control and targets...then fires*
<@DeathStar> *a massive magical blast shoots out and hits Yurica's ship. The tractor beam blinks, giving them a moment of freedom*
<@Seraphna> Luci> GO!
<@Jackieness> <Bella> *pops the drive to full speed*
<@DeathStar> *their ship zooms away. However, Yurica's ship is right on them*
<@Seraphna> Luci> You're gonna have to take their drives out, or at least propulsion.
<@Seraphna> Luci> Ymir...
<@DeathStar> <Asarar> With a ship of her speed, unless we can think of a way of out running her, we might have to do something drastic
<@Jackieness> <Bella> "Their drives are on the other side! This side is shooting at us!" *engages evasive maneuvers*
<@Seraphna> Luci> Can this thing go into space?
<@DeathStar> <Melodie> Yes
<@DeathStar> <Aimee> Retreat into space and come back later?
<@Seraphna> Luci> And if possible, atmo skip for speed.
<@DeathStar> *Yurica begins to target their engines; a warning sound begins to go off*
<@Jackieness> <Bella> "Hang on to your butts! Preparing for liftoff!" *suddenly takes a sharp vertical ascent*
<@Seraphna> **Luci rushes to the wall ofthe bridge and focuses, projecting her shield over the ship**
<@DeathStar> *Asarar grips her seat as they go off*
<@Seraphna> LUci> **tries to Stand Your Ground on the ship**
<@DeathStar> <Melodie> A small warning. All this is eating up our mana quickly. We cannot maintain an extended flight and fight
<@Jackieness> <Kira> *grabs on to something to keep from being flung back*
<@DeathStar> *Celine clings to Luci*
<@Jackieness> <Bella> "If we can get beyond Kumen's mana drain, we should be ok!"
<@Seraphna> Luci> Yeah, get us up and out, then we have an advantage we didn't.
<@DeathStar> *as the ship exits the atmopshere, Melodie looks over and speaks up* Well, I have good news and bad news
<@Seraphna> Luci> I might be able to stop a couple blastgs.
<@DeathStar> <Melodie> What would you like first?
<@Seraphna> Luci> Both. Time's short.
<@DeathStar> <Melodie> We are regaining mana - good
<@DeathStar> <Melodie> This ship has no means of jumping into light speed or hyperspace. - Bad.
<@Seraphna> Luci> That's fine, get it towards Geyze, we can get in range of the Aquarius or figure out a way to mask the ship.
<@Jackieness> <Bella> "It was probably just used for jumps between Geyze and Kumen." *sets a course for Yggdrasil*
<@DeathStar> *like something out of a Star Trek movie, Yurica rises up out of space and stalks them toward Yggdrasil, heading toward the Crystal Tree*
<@Seraphna> **Luci muses and feels out her daughter, since she's with the shuttle**
<@DeathStar> *Luci would feel the Aquarius is nearby - trying to lay low but is monitoring them if they need help*
<@DeathStar> *er
<@DeathStar> *the Mew*
<@Jackieness> <Bella> "...we always hated when Yurica was left in charge."
<@Seraphna> **Luci closes her eyse a moment, and then the atmosphere and space around Yurica's ship get a sudden explosion, EMP**
<@DeathStar> <Asarar> Is that because she was completely focused on her tasks until it was completed?
<@Seraphna> Luci> I hope this works.
<@Jackieness> <Bella> "She was a flarking slave driver!"
<@DeathStar> <Asarar> Well maybe if you formed a friendship with her, kiddo, you could reach out to her and go, "Oh hey, I'm not a pirate, actually, I'm your good buddy Bella, please don't shoot me" *she teases*
<@Seraphna> Luci> Nell or Seniga could try that, they lived with her.
<@DeathStar> *Yurica's ship seems to pause for a bit, checking things out; allowing Bella to get further away to the tree*
<@Seraphna> Luci> Is the tree a decent source of power? I'm not sure what we do when we get there unless the Empire put protection there.
<@DeathStar> <Asarar> Reach out to Nell then - see if she can probe Yurica gently.
<@Jackieness> <Bella> *brings the ship in to try to hide them in the branches*
<@Seraphna> **Luci closes her eyes again, nodding, after a little bit, Nell would start trying to do so**
<@DeathStar> <Asarar> I do not want to have to explain to Erica why we got into a firefight with her brat
<@Seraphna> Luci> This is the last I can tell her before I'm out of range on my mental link.
<@DeathStar> *the Aquarius like ship begins to approach the tree, circling around it as Yurica seems to be searching for them*
<@Seraphna> Luci> Noting, I'm pissed that Yurica apparently knows where Ymir is and hasn't told me.
<@DeathStar> <Asarar> There might be more to it - if we can get her to talk
<@Seraphna> **Nell sends Yurica some coded messages, using Aquarius talk**
<@Jackieness> <Bella> *rotates their ship to loiter on the underside of one of the branches*
<@DeathStar> *Yurica continues to circle the tree a few more times - and just then Yurica's ship turns and seems to angle itself to face the ancient ship, when it moves on. Did Yurica see them or not, but either way it seems to move back on toward Kumen*
<@Seraphna> Nell> That young lady and I are going to have a chat.
<@DeathStar> <Aimee> It appears she is returning to the Kumen Capital
<@Jackieness> <Bella> "Amber...head to engineering and check out the engines. we just went hot rodding with a ship that hasn't been offworlds in a few thousand years."
<@Seraphna> Amber> I'm still in engineering.
<@DeathStar> *Amber would find the engines are indeed stressed in places and could use a overhaul*
<@DeathStar> *but for now they will work alright*
<@Seraphna> Amber> Working on reasoning out these labels. It's in the script that predates Croza and fluent as I am in it, that's like you trying to read pig latin.
<@Jackieness> <Bella> "Will it make the trip to Geyze? Either Geyze?"
<@DeathStar> <Celine> From what I can tell, this language is a mix of ancient Geyze and something else. And the magic seems to be based on this Creation Magic Lana was talking about
<@Seraphna> Amber> With reasonable speed and not pushing it, yeah it'll be fine.
<@Seraphna> Amber> We should take it to the tower or the academy for overhaul.
<@DeathStar> <Celine> Will they even know how to overhaul a ship?
<@Jackieness> <Kira> "Then the armor we picked up should be right at home here."
<@Seraphna> Amber> The Academy no, but they have a ton of pyramids we can grab parts from.
<@Jackieness> <Bella> "And what if Kumen makes demands?"
<@Seraphna> Amber> This is like an older version of them.
<@DeathStar> <Asarar> That's true, if we try to take it to Geyze right now it might make relations between the two worlds rose
<@DeathStar> *worse
<@DeathStar> <Asarar> And they might be keeping an eye out for the ship to be moved there
<@Seraphna> Amber> TIf they try to demand it, I'll explain how much harder it's going to be to provide mana for them.
<@Seraphna> Amber> Politics and commerce go both ways.
<@DeathStar> <Asarar> I was going to suggest we have Nell's partner take a look at it
<@Seraphna> Amber> Seniga? Yeah that could work.
<@Jackieness> <Kira> "Geyze is out, right now."
<@Seraphna> Luci> Actually..
<@Seraphna> Luci> Let's bring it to the other Geyze.
<@DeathStar> <Asarar> You want to go to Counter Geyze.
<@Seraphna> Luci> I'll have Nell bring Seniga.
<@Seraphna> Luci> It's a Mana ship. We go to where there's a lot of Mana.
<@DeathStar> <Asarar> It's a neutral location
<@Seraphna> Luci> Exactly. They won't be monitoring it.
<@Seraphna> Luci> Unless you had a plan to get past Kumen's security to bring it there.
<@DeathStar> <Asarar> No no, on. *motions*
<@Jackieness> <Bella> "Right. Projecting a course now...we won't launch right away. We'll wait for the planets to move so we cna head for Coutner-Geyze without Kumen seeing us."
<@DeathStar> -TIME HOP-
<@DeathStar> Location: Counter Geyze - that evening
<@DeathStar> *With the spirits gone to Sanctuary, the people of Counter Geyze have been slowly working on repairing their magic tech and civilization that was lost during the war. Most of them are too busy to pay much attention to the likes of Asarar and her team when they arrived earlier and so far the group has been left alone as they set up camp. Seniga has been looking over the ship and much like Taiga or Tora, seems to be lost in thought as she wanders around it*
<@Seraphna> Nell> She's cutest when lost in tech like this.
<@DeathStar> *As Seniga jots down things down in a notebook, Asarar sits at their camp, sipping a drink. Cloe muses*
<@DeathStar> <Cloe> Tech girls are cute?
<@Jackieness> <Bella> "Nell is just simping."
<@Seraphna> Luci> Yes they are.
<@Seraphna> Amber> I just realized they both married a tech girl.
<@DeathStar> <Cloe> What sort of girl is cute?
<@DeathStar> <Seniga> Alright, I have an idea of what is going on here. *she turns to the campfire*
<@Seraphna> Nell> Yes babe?
<@DeathStar> <Seniga> This ship appears to have been made by the ancient civilization of humans here on Kumen. I've been in contact with Lumi and it looks like there was a race of people that were here during the Keeper era - a Magic Civilization. Judging by the technology, there might have been either one large civilization that was spread out across Geyze and Kumen, or two different ones that both used magic in different ways. I'd have to study the Geyze tech to know more. It appears their language is very close - sharing words, and this Creation Magic somewhat. But there is differences - there are words here on the Kumen side that are new. And--- it appears the Kumenites? were using their magic to make weapons such as the armor and this ship.
<@DeathStar> <Seniga> Again, I'd have to look at what the Geyze group was up to to know what all they were using their magic for.
<@Jackieness> <Bella> "This ship workds for crossing ebtween Kumen and Geyze, but not leaving the system."
<@DeathStar> <Seniga> Well there's some ship logs and I've been trying to translate them - but a lot of it is damaged.
<@Seraphna> Amber> It likely predates the arrival of the Croza.
<@DeathStar> <Seniga> And some of the words are unknown to me
<@Seraphna> Amber> So that might mean that the Croza ships were simply these ships but adapted for interstellar travel.
<@Jackieness> <Kira> "Do we have any other experts that could be consulted?"
<@Seraphna> Amber> The rest of my family, but besides Mom most of them are already with Lana.
<@DeathStar> <Seniga> But it appears the ship was meant to be a weapon. They were afraid of something, or wanted something. I think they wanted to stop something from being made. They refer to the counter parts a lot, stating that what they were making was just as bad as "it". That their method would end in just as much misery and would control them all
<@Seraphna> Amber> And my other mother if she deigns to appear to me again. **frowns a bit**
<@DeathStar> <Seniga> So I am not sure if these weapons were meant to stop Geyze, or something else. I do believe the two sides might have been fighting.
<@Jackieness> <Bella> "It? What is 'it'?"
<@Seraphna> Luci> You mentioned control.
<@Seraphna> Luci> Isn't that one of the Creation Magics they're dealing with?
<@DeathStar> <Seniga> I think they might have been fearful the Creation Machine could be used that way
<@DeathStar> <Seniga> And wanted to destroy it
<@Seraphna> Luci> So... did we just find the dagger to put in the Mammon Machine's gears?
<@DeathStar> <Seniga> I'm not sure. But going through the logs, it looks like they made this ship and several reponses to the threat. I'm guessing those are the Magic Gears you found. I'll keep digging into the ship's memory to find the locations. But there ... might be a problem
<@Jackieness> <Kira> "The locals know magic technology. Can they help with this ship?"
<@Jackieness> <Bella> "Problem? What problem?"
<@DeathStar> <Seniga> If I'm reading it right, they might have made the Gears using the same type of technology the Creation Machine was made from. So I have no idea if using the Gears would even be safe.
<@DeathStar> <Seniga> It might be better to leave them buried
<@DeathStar> <Seniga> Right now the one you have seems dormant - you could just toss the amulet away
<@Jackieness> <Kira> "Toss it where? LEaving such a thing sitting around is dangerous."
<@DeathStar> *Asarar thinks*
<@DeathStar> <Cloe> Cloe could toss it in her closet. Many things vanish there
<@DeathStar> <Seniga> One more thing before I take up your idea of consulting with the locals
<@DeathStar> <Seniga> Melodie and Aimee?
<@DeathStar> <Seniga> The two seem to have become linked with the ancient ship. I'm not sure how to unlink them. The ship needs them and they need the ship right now. As time progresses, I'm not sure how the symbotic relationship will grow.
<@Jackieness> <Bella> "Isn't it bad to mix spirit and mana tech?"
<@Seraphna> Amber> I'll study it some more. If othyers get unearthed then not knowing what they can do is just a weakness.
<@Seraphna> Luci> That was the old understanding. but since crazy ladies like Alita started messing with it, there's a surprising balance.
<@DeathStar> <Seniga> It is - usually. And this is one magical ship.
<@Seraphna> Amber> Not crazy, genius.
<@Seraphna> Amber> We did just watch two ship spirits take control of a mana ship.
<@DeathStar> <Seniga> But somehow the two have overriden it to accept them. And it seems to be changing stuff about them
<@Seraphna> Luci> And this planet had Mana Spirits.
<@DeathStar> <Asarar> So it'll make them into what - Mana Spirits?
<@DeathStar> <Seniga> Maybe. The ship pre-dates spirits on Geyze or Kumen.
<@DeathStar> <Seniga> Right now though the Mew will lack spirits if you want to use it
<@Jackieness> <Kira> "Will it still fly?"
<@DeathStar> <Seniga> Yeah, both ships will fly. The Mew won't be as fast naturally
<@DeathStar> *Asarar leans back* Alright team. We have to decide how we want to continue
<@DeathStar> <Asarar> We got a lot of lore dumped on us.
<@Seraphna> Luci> I'm going to have a talk with a certain young captain.
<@DeathStar> <Asarar> We can go confront her if you want
<@Seraphna> Luci> Absolutely. If she knows where Ymir is...
<@Seraphna> **Luci puts the mask she made on Nell**
<@DeathStar> <Asarar> But how do we want to deal with this ship and the remaining Gears? Should we walk away?
<@DeathStar> <Bonnie> Might be best to see after we get Ymir
<@DeathStar> <Bonnie> Or learn how Ymir plays a part.
<@Seraphna> Luci> I say we collect them. When we have Ymir back she can help us.
<@DeathStar> <Cloe> We want to collect them to use them or hide them?
<@Seraphna> Luci> And if someone other than herself is responsible for vanishing, there's gonna be an open seat somewhere.
<@Jackieness> <Kira> "We need to colect them either way."
<@Seraphna> Luci> Yeah, we'll decide on that use after we have them. They could be what we need to stop a Creation Machine.
<@DeathStar> <Asarar> *nod* Alright. It's not like Seniga can find them right away.
<@DeathStar> <Asarar> Lets leave the ship here for now
<@DeathStar> <Asarar> And take the Mew back home
<@Seraphna> Nell> We have cheat methods but they still take time.
<@DeathStar> *Melodie and Aimee glare*
<@DeathStar> <Melodie> So you plan to leave us stranded here?
<@DeathStar> <Aimee> Take our old ship and leave us?
<@Seraphna> Luci> You're obviously powering the Mew till we come back.
<@Seraphna> Luci> We can bury it here or something.
<@Jackieness> <Kira> "They cna't just plug back into the Mew now."
<@DeathStar> <Seniga> It would be a bad idea
<@DeathStar> <Melodie> Just don't take too long - or we might take our new ship and come looking for trouble
<@DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<@DeathStar> Date: 10-664.3.27 - late, late night, early morning
<@DeathStar> Location: Kumen City Port
<@DeathStar> *Asarar steps out of the Mew's hanger, glancing around the city on the upper level. The sights and smells being everything as always as she leads them toward where Yurica supposedly is at in the docks*
<@DeathStar> <Asarar> According to the grape vine, her craft is space dock and she has come down here to ground level
<@Seraphna> **Luci muses, her full gear on and her eyes glowing faintly**
<@DeathStar> *Bonnie and Cloe walk along; they all seem to be in Quadrant 1, which is now the Presidental Zone since Macross is in the Center of the City*
<@Jackieness> <Bella> "...yeah..great..."
<@Jackieness> <Kira> "Act your station, young lady."
<@Seraphna> Luci> Nell said she's also sending us some fresh eyes.
<@DeathStar> *as they walk along from the docks, they can see in the distance the massive Presidental Building, which was built for the President since he could not convince Luci to give im the Macross Tower*
<@DeathStar> *a ton of guards are all over the place as usual , dressed in suits and smoking about. It looks like a meeting is being held*
<@Jackieness> <Kira> "Fresh eyes?"
<@Seraphna> Luci> Cookie's kid.
<@DeathStar> <Asarar> Well since I doubt we can't just walk inside
<@DeathStar> <Asarar> We might have to catch her when she leaves the building
<@Seraphna> Luci> Yeah, we're not inner circle.
<@DeathStar> *Asarar lights up a cig and smokes, peering around the area*
<@Seraphna> Luci> Those are bad for... wait your lungs are probably borg.
<@DeathStar> <Asarar> I forgot what it's like everytime I come into the city.
<@Seraphna> Luci> That smell of Lithium on the air is how you know you're on Kumen.
<@Jackieness> <Bella> "I think I've been in the city more than you have, lately."
<@DeathStar> <Asarar> Yeah, what have you been up to lately?
<@DeathStar> *she asks, leaning on the railing to spy something in the distance, her eyes glowing as she seems to be focusing on something*
<@Jackieness> <Bella> "Hanging out with Izzy."
<@DeathStar> <Asarar> That's right. *She inhales* I don't suppose you want to use that connection to get us inside?
<@Jackieness> <Bella> "Izzy is the unfavorite. How is she supposed to get us in?"
<@Seraphna> **A random looking guard moves near them all, having a smoke**
<@DeathStar> <Asarar> Fair enough. *she turns her head as Yurica suddenly exits the Presidental Manor, wearing her captain uniform and looking unhappy as she marches down the lane away from the house and toward the gates. As they open, she stands there, clearly mad, then steps out onto the street where the team is at*
<@DeathStar> *Asarar turns her head and nods briefly toward Yurica*
<@Seraphna> **Luci starts making her way there**
<@Seraphna> Luci> You look down little Yuri, can I get you a drink?
<@DeathStar> *Yurica glances up, then sees Luci, then at the others in the background and makes a face* <Yurica> ... *she reaches up to her captain's hat and tugs it down further, then waves a gloved hand forward as if to indicate for Luci to go ahead*
<@Seraphna> **Luci moves to lead her a local bar, the guard near them seems gone and instead a woman with dark hair and a white streak keeps some distance.**
<@Jackieness> <Kira> "...we may have a tail."
<@DeathStar> *Cloe walks with Bella while Asarar and Bonnie scope the area* <Asarar> Don't worry about the tail.
<@DeathStar> *Cloe rushes and orders a giant glass of alcohol and carries it to their table*
<@DeathStar> *while Bonnie and Asarar just sit down. Yurica sits at their booth silently, looking around to see if there anyone she recognizes*
<@Seraphna> **Luci orders a sunspot and sits with Yurica** So... I hear from my grapevine something interesting.
<@Seraphna> **Another Bella takes a seat nearby and looks at a menu**
<@DeathStar> <Yurica> I can't believe I nearly lost my job because of you all. *she mutters to herself, gaze cutting toward Bella as she says this*
<@Seraphna> Luci> Mmm, so where's my wife?
<@DeathStar> <Yurica> What do you mean where is your wife? I was unaware she was missing
<@DeathStar> *She glances back*
<@Seraphna> Luci> For months now.
<@DeathStar> <Yurica> Well she was the one who on the ship giving the assignment to locate the relic for protection.
<@Seraphna> Luci> She's... on your ship?
<@Jackieness> <Bella> *just tolls her eyes*
<@Jackieness> rolls
<@DeathStar> <Yurica> Not mine, the Star Corp ship that was with me. One moment. *she reaches into her vest to pull out a device and begins to scroll through it for a moment*
<@Seraphna> Luci> You know she lost Star Corp right?
<@DeathStar> *she hands the datapad - it has a video recording of Ymir and Yurica's conversation across the viewscreen*
<@Seraphna> Luci> **stares at it, looking for anything weird about her**
<@DeathStar> *Ymir can be seen on the screen; she looks excited, happy, like a Ymir ready to look into a new case and is about to crack it open. She informs Yurica that she has been off the radar lately due to looking into this new discovery that has been made about a Creation Machine and the these relics that might be all over Kumen, and could use the ship's help locating them*
<@DeathStar> <Yurica> So that's what we been doing the past few months. Locating them
<@Seraphna> Luci> Yurica, I've been running Macross because she vanished and my bond is blocked. We assumed she's been kidnapped and forced into labor. This...
<@DeathStar> <Yurica> She didn't seem out of the ordinary when I was with her.
<@DeathStar> <Yurica> But I admit she didn't bring your name up once
<@Jackieness> <Kira> "Still seems strange."
<@Seraphna> Luci> ...Not if you consider things previously used on her.
<@Seraphna> Luci> What's going on...
<@DeathStar> <Yurica> Either way, since I let you all go I'm off the assignment. It is felt I let the ship escape and it was a vital part of what we were doing to understand the other relics we have gotten
<@DeathStar> <Yurica> So it's not like I'll be able to ask Ymir what is going on
<@Seraphna> Luci> Mmm. And considering what we learned about it... fuck.
<@Seraphna> Luci> Did she look pale to you at all?
<@DeathStar> <Yurica> Pale. I would not say that. *she seems to be going over it in her mind* She seemed like Ymir. But if I was pushed to answer, she might have seemed forgetful. I do recall bringing up some stuff and she did not seem to know what I would mean, but she would quickly change the topic to something else.
<@Seraphna> Luci> THat sounds like her old conditioning then. I guess we can't be sure that everyone is being controlled the same way. **she sighs** She acted like that when her father took over the planet too.
<@Seraphna> Luci> The fact that her bond is still there means part of her is fighting it at least.
<@DeathStar> *Cloe finishes her large drink*
<@Seraphna> Luci> The only other possibility is that it isn't actually Ymir. But we'd need an expert to root that out.
<@Seraphna> **A second Cloe sits down and gives the first another drink**
<@Jackieness> <Bella> "Don't overdo it, Cloe."
<@DeathStar> *Cloe grabs the second and begins to sip it* I won't~
<@Seraphna> Cloe?> I might be able to help with that.
<@DeathStar> <Yurica> I apologize for not knowing sooner, but since she told me she was underground working on this extensive assignment, I just assumed it was a Ymir thing
<@DeathStar> <Yurica> I spend a lot of time in deep space
<@Seraphna> Luci> Yeah, her absence is largely why the President was able to take most of the corps, including what's rightfully mine.
<@DeathStar> <Yurica> She never touched on that; the one time I brought up Macross she simply deflected like I said
<@Jackieness> <Bella> "Why are there two of you?"
<@DeathStar> *Cloe looks at the other her* I have a twin?
<@Seraphna> Cloe?> **shifts into the dark haired girl**
<@Jackieness> <Bella> "I've literally known you all my life."
<@DeathStar> *Asarar folds her hands together* It would be nice if we could have Yurica get us close to Ymir
<@DeathStar> <Asarar> But at least we know that she is in Space Corps
<@Seraphna> Minty> It would, then I could scan her mind. I can root out most of my kind and mental controls.
<@Seraphna> Luci> Minty Hajukaze, Cookie and Pepper's whelp.
<@DeathStar> <Asarar> All I can see how to approach this is to continue as we have been
<@Jackieness> <Kira> "From what I've heard, the CEO of Star Corps is an ogre."
<@DeathStar> <Asarar> If Ymir is after these relics like we are - she will appear sooner or later
<@Seraphna> Luci> Mmm, then I'll get her.
<@DeathStar> <Yurica> They've gotten their hands on 2 of them already. Those Gear things
<@Seraphna> Luci> And we've got one and the ship.
<@Seraphna> Luci> Actually we probably have one of their two.
<@DeathStar> *Asarar looks around; stepping into the bar are some enforcers for the president*
<@DeathStar> *Yurica tenses and lowers her face*
<@Seraphna> Minty> **passively scans them**
<@DeathStar> *the guards seem to be looking for trouble makers - and for people in large crowds, since that means trouble makers*
<@Seraphna> Minty> They're just looking for trouble, not anything in particular.
<@Jackieness> <Kira> "don't forget. We're rich."
<@Seraphna> Luci> I bow to the one that read me from another sector. **sips her drink**
<@DeathStar> <Bonnie> So we just bribe them? Hah. But in all seriousness, we need to be more careful - each Corpo has their own security force now
<@Seraphna> **Minty holds up a finger and the group gains a mental channel to speak**
<@Seraphna> Minty> <Now we won't be overheard.>
<@DeathStar> <Bonnie> <And down the road that might be trouble>
<@Jackieness> <Kira> "Then we should breakk up this party before we attract more attention."
<@DeathStar> *Cloe's mental talk seems to be slosh sounds*
<@Seraphna> Luci> <It might work to our advantage, Prez has them working together now, but Capitalism is what it is.>
<@DeathStar> *Yurica rises, then reaches out to grab their arms*
<@Seraphna> Luci> <Yeah, let's head out, people go away in groups. Minty can you get Yurica back home?>
<@DeathStar> <Yurica> <Speaking of the President and working together>
<@Seraphna> **Minty steadies her before she does**
<@DeathStar> <Yurica> <Thinking on Ymir and everything>
<@DeathStar> <Yurica> <I heard some rumors are while back>
<@Seraphna> Luci> <Eh?>
<@DeathStar> <Yurica> <That the President managing to get the Corporations rebuilt seemed unnaturally fast. Almost too fast. In just a few years, everything that the old Corporations did in decades, he did in what a few years? Maybe Ymir knows something>
<@Seraphna> LUci> <Likely, I have a feeling that recent events and his sudden quick rise are connected.>
<@Seraphna> **MInty starts helping Yurica out as they go, now a guard again**
