Eschton [mature] IC - Calling Arabesu

[Nephtys]

About Kaydia:
Melanoce agrees, setting the operation to proceed at full speed.

The Mission:
Melanoce's robots move about efficiently, setting up all manner of sofisticated recording apparatus. The mission will have to be carefully documented to be of the greatest possible use for building PR. The sensors focus on the anomaly, but leaves nothing else unexamined.

Back on Otaijan 5 Melanoce smiles. Every news channel in existance would pay dearly for these images and psychic impressions.

After the match...

Lord Karnak's glimmerskin symbiont whispers into his mind, "We should have tumbled in and hit her with a Pouncing Strike or attempted a Swooping Dragon Strike milord. If it pleases you, I will not be so reticent in providing tactical advice." Though the words are deferential, there is a slightly prickly undertone to them.

All that would be for naught as she would just as quickly lash out again with that chain of hers. It strikes harder than most of its ilk. I know when risks are worth it or not.

After wiping the sweat from his body, Karnak searches for Melaconce.

"You said we could do some good business together. How about as a show of faith, you search for a certain warrior for me? I have heard tales not long ago about an iron warrior who can lead entire armies to victory yet has the power to decimate one single-handedly. Find him and we'll talk business."

[sblock=OOC]Voidrazor, Nephtys,
I'm looking to add a follower to my warriors. I'll try to send a write-up of him soon.[/sblock]

At the mission...

"By the Nine Blades! That creature looked larger than the sand wurms of Arrakis. Could we get a reading on that?"

"If I may be frank my lord, we had no business simply charging a giantess wielding a chain in the first place."

OOC on the ship: Sensors still fail to pick up the creature. To narrow down or confirm the estimate of a couple hundred yards to a mile in diameter you'd have to get closer.

 

[Shayuri]

Sigil frowns at the abomination's wavering shape in the mirror.

"What IS it? Where did it come from?" Then she realizes that the Looking Glass could help with that.

She passes her hand over the mirror, causing the reflection to ripple as if it was a calm water surface just disturbed.

"What is the creature you are showing us?" she asks the mirror. The woodcarved relief figures all around the edges of the mirror seemed to move, as if exchanging inaudible words. At first their words are the barest of whispers...but soon the mirror answers Sigil's question in a chorus of voices...

(using the Legend Lore ability of the mirror)

 

[Vertexx69]

Serraphina will watch intently over Sigil's delicate shoulder with wrapped attention, as the woodland creatures become animated.

"Faith must be mutual, Lord Karnak, but I will do what I can and expect a favour in return."

Melanoces robots crowd around Sigil's mirror, trying repeatedly to record it in every mode of perception.

ooc: I will be away until mid August and probably won't be able to use the internet on a regular basis. Please NPC Melanoce until then Voidrazor.
You know her modus operandi pretty well. She'll support the mission but won't put herself personally at risk. She may spend some money on it but will expect to make money off that investment in the future.
Sorry.

 

[Voidrazor]

The whispering amongst the now animate, carven figured seems to almost break into an arguement. After a few moments you can make out three distinct answers to sigil's question "It is a great transport ... It is a hive city ... It is a spreader of horror and filth."

 

[Shayuri]

Sigil's face settles into a stony mask at the words, particularly the last.

"I think we have a problem. What forces can we bring against this thing? My own defenses are limited to Kaydia, excepting my own abilities."

"This does not bode well. We need more information regarding what is within. If this breaks out into a conflict, I will not be able to stem the tide. My warriors here are worth seven to eight warriors each while Miss Delecorte and I would be worth around a score or more each."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~

earlier at the gala...

"Faith must be mutual, Lord Karnak, but I will do what I can and expect a favour in return."

"I will allow my warriors to accompany you in your search for this warrior after this current sortie of ours. Additionally, I will personally train three warriors to act as your bodyguards and escorts as soon as you send three willing candidates."

 

[Vertexx69]

The troubled look on Serraphina's face is replaced with steely determination. "Well if its a transport, then someone must be piloting that space faring behemoth. And that rotund abomination must be carrying some form of evil toward a decidedly nefarious destination." With a sweeping gesture, indicating the galaxy behind them she continues. "We won't know for sure until we can get a look first hand." Turning to her aide with a slightly forced smile. "I think you would be of more help here Jenner." The worried look on the jann's face eases a bit at his bosses suggestion. "As you wish my lady."
