Hey good news everyone, Bracken didn’t kill us.

Although I'm fairly certain it would have been Fyna that would've done most of the killing... she sounded really disappointed when she didn't get to take us out.

Okay, yeah good point. I think she was mad I didn't flirt with her.

I said I was sorry. Next time the bartender shows interest I'll make certain to leave you to it.

[There was a pause as if one of them might get on with the post's actual intention and then suddenly Yelena breaks the silence with a blunt counter injection:]

You did not. You have not said sorry once this whole time.

What? Oh, god, really? I am sooooooo forgetful about those sorts of things. Remind me later. I meant it. Really, it was implied.

Right. I will believe it when I hear it. Well, I just- Whatever. Anyway... We found Zandr and the orb. He has it.

Right. Business. Bracken and Fyna--the two mercenaries monopolizing the ghost matter weapons on the black market--introduced us to Zandr after we convinced them we're here to help. He-

He's contracted it so ghost matter doesn't kill people while he does science, but he'll give it to us when he is done. So we need to help him figure out his science things.

[Another pause stretches on for a little too long before Felix makes a low grunt of pain as Yelena prods him (literally) into saying the next segment.]

Just making sure you were finished... He said anyone who knows their way around particle alteration would be useful to figuring out the solution to the ghost matter problem. He wants to get completely rid of it. So, time to get your thinking caps on, dear doctors and gentle scientists, you've got useful shit to do.

He told us which planet his lab is on but he has things to set up before we go to him. He will tell us when and how to get to him...

...so we're not caught being stupid about it and can get to him safely.

Don't do that. Do what? We are not finishing each other's sentences. It’s creepy. Don't do that. Fine, whatever. Did we cover everything? Yes. Or they will ask questions and we will answer.

Do you all have any questions? We are helping them now, like Dr. Wizard Strange said.
[And that was final as far as she was concerned.]

( let's just rip the bandaid off, with one (1) straightforward Starfleet doc currently lounging on a (possibly familiar) garden veranda in the sim room. he gives his earpiece a tap. )

I hear tell I missed a scary town, a sentient imaginary friend, and a volcano.

( does he wince a little at that last thing? maybe, yeah... )

Everybody still got all their fingers and toes?

( McCoy looks wan in his blue scrubs, and sounds a little hoarse, but after the mission they had, that's probably not surprising. )

This is Dr. McCoy. Anyone waitin' out yesterday's rush are welcome to stop by the infirmary today. If you'd rather one of us here comes to you instead, let us know. If you need help gettin' here– ( and there, a tired little smile, ) –we'll come get you too.

If there're any other specific medical questions or concerns, I'd be happy to answer them here, or you can reach out to any of the other volunteers of your choosing.

Patients of mine can pick up your scrips by... ( he glances at his chrono,) supper tonight.

McCoy out.

Re: History of the Arch

I spent my time in the university library researching the political and geographical history of this planet, and while much of what I found confirms what others before me have shared (yet nothing of the Orb), I am curious about the origins of the earthquake that created the landmass on which we stand.

According to the old logs, the earthquake and disease that is killing this planet began in what is now the Seventh Circle, and the water purification camp was constructed directly above the epicenter - the very first camp to be built. I found no records of retrieving the Orb or any other artifact from the area. It appears that interest in the epicenter did not exist until 50 years after the event.

Even if the Orb was taken to the First Circle in secret, the fact that something was released by this earthquake seems something into which we should investigate if we want to save this planet.

I need assistance from anyone near the infirmary with the strength to move a person without much struggle.
Doctor McCoy is asleep hunched over at his desk and will not respond to my calls both external and psionic; he feels very much the same as those who succumbed to long sleep.
If that's so...he'll need a better place than this, or he'll wake very uncomfortably.

the good news first: rhys and i found the princess of kilnan in the castle and woke her. she's with us right now. the castle was designed to protect her against her mother's soldiers trying to force her back home, which is why it's been so tricky. it's meant to alert remi — her uncle, and the wizard we came looking for — to any unwanted guests, which would be us.

the reason he hasn't come to greet us is that he's asleep. aureliah — the princess — should be able to talk her uncle down before he throws us all out into the mud. he's trapped behind an entrance sam's group found, but aureliah should be able to unseal its magic.

i think more of us should be there when it's opened, just in case something goes wrong with the orb.

the bad news: the orb's name is phyllie. remi made a deal with her and fed his own arcane energy to her in exchange for curing a curse that was placed on aureliah and her mother, but something went wrong during remi's bargain and that energy was transferred from the orb to aureliah instead. that's the reason she has her uncle's magic, and why her mother is so eager to use her daughter as a weapon against kilnan's neighboring countries.

the queen thinks kilnan will be better protected if she can force her daughter to learn war magic. it sounds like remi has been searching through dimensions to find the "right world" (for him and aureliah to hide? we don't know what he meant) but the orb has been draining him of his energy.

from what aureliah said, he feeds "phyllie" monthly. the princess and i think that's the price he's chosen to pay for keeping the curse at bay.

the worst news: i don't know what will happen if we break the bargain remi has made, but i'm sure it can't possibly be anything good. aureliah's life force was given to her by the orb, and the wizard who cast the curse in the first place was killed in the war. so that's a dead end, but maybe someone has a better solution we can offer remi once he's awake.

hey, so, full disclosure: this is super weird for me. i've never done this before. like, classically when i tell people bad stuff happens so i sorta don't tell anyone, but uh, here goes:

so i've got... superpowers. it feels like?? that's not that big a deal around here. some people are like 9 ft tall and can do magic (???) and have full robotic wings so it's just nbd but also for me it kinda is a big deal so it's a little scary to be upfront about this but i super duper did just liveblog my spider wall-crawling to the entire team during the last mission pandora's box is way open so yeah i have superpowers


( and apparently he's no better at trying to send brain messages, RIP friendos, his brain is just Like This )

but anyway, uh... since there are a lot of us, maybe if you wanna, we can... share??? nothing more than you are comfortable with, obviously, and trust me if you wanna hang back and stay quiet i get it. back home, i can't share this stuff. it gets people hurt. i was just thinking here, maybe... and since there's a ton of you like me or not even like me but different too, i don't know. maybe it'd be good for us to know who can do what? what we're all capable of? things we should look out for?

i guess i should go first. i, uh... can crawl on walls. everybody saw that (SIDEBAR that is my bad for that shaky camera work if i gave you motion sickness i am so so so sorry). i'm pretty strong too. and maybe be careful trying to touch me or throw things at me bc my senses make me react if it seems like a threat and i'm not super good at turning it off. i'm trying though. i have webslingers too, for flyin around?? so that's cool

uh... that's it? ama? i'll try and answer... or you can tell me anything, if you wanna talk shop. if you wanna keep things dl, private works. trust that i get it, this feels so viscerally uncomfortable, like those went to school in ur underwear dreams, only i really did it, holy snickerdoodle, i really hope this does not blow up in my face
