Eschton [mature] IC - Calling Arabesu

"She hasn't said a word!" Sigil replies, angry and afraid.

When Serraphina staggers she raises her wand and points it at the 'woman.'

"Whatever you're doing, that's enough. My companions and I are leaving now. Don't try to interfere."

Paying no heed to the events happening around him, Karnak continues to mentally converse with the being as he is enthralled by a feeling just beyond the corners of his psyche.

"Tell me more. I want to know what this is."
 

[sblock=Nephtys]Reviewing her Psi-web queue, Melanoce finds that there is a significant amount of private interest in tissue samples. Also, over three hundred Autarchs have indicated interest in helping in efforts against the Lord of the Outer Dark. Amongst all this two calls stand out, one from the office of the Inquisition, the other with no identifying information whatsoever but near the top of the queue regardless.

A creature you haven't seen before arrives in the pulsating scryed room.

It is escorted to the sensor, whereupon it begins moving in a fashion reminiscent of a dog sniffing the air.[/sblock]
 

"It seems they are trying to read the sensor, possibly tracking it back to its origin, possibly attempting to read me. I can not allow that to happen, it would be impossible to defend the ship if they begun to teleport onboard. So I may have to take preemptive measures if they seem to be able to threaten the ship. Things could get a little rocky on your side."

Melanoce prepares to launch a couple of small warheads into the alien shipcreature trough the mirror (half a kiloton or so, or smaller if she thinks the blast would risk killing her allies, but large enough to definately be able to kill anything in the chamber and within a couple hundred meters).
 

[sblock=Karnak]Karnak feels his own heartbeat sync up with the pulse from the ship. As that occurs, he drifts into a reverie. In New York City, circa 2012 a vampiric being known as Simon Magus makes a deal with the Lords of the Outer Dark. He agrees to let them enter his world in return for them bringing about a new era of magic. When Nyaguglloth, harbinger of the Lords, steps through the gate, an upstart vampire, Quillian Bliss, appears suddenly and attacks. Bliss manages to close the gate. But despite the interruption Nyaguglloth sets about fulfilling its part of the bargain. Even as Bliss marshals allies against the unfolding change, Simon Magus uses the newfound eldritch energies to contact numerous star faring races. These lines of communication, over time, become the foundation of the Eschaton.

The reverie ends just as one of Karnak's valkyries contacts him over the, much less immediate, telepathic union of the Psi-web. Should we allow Citizen Melanoce to place bombs on the enemy ship, my lord?

Your valkyrie's question does not disrupt the contact with the girl(/ship?). As it continues to unfold there is a moment when it takes on a strange (stranger anyway) character. Its hard to correllate with any other experience K. has had before. But the closest comparison would be a felling of pressure on his mind. The moment passes quickly though, and does not feel threatening.[/sblock]

Nephtys - One of the bombs could be configured to destroy only a small radius. But it will take close to a minute, several minutes for someone without M.'s skills. The ship's crew seems to be waiting for confirmation before getting one of the devices.

Vertexx69 - Serraphina is no longer stunned.
 

Breaking telepathic contact with the being, Karnak sends an urgent message to Melanconce via the Psi-web.

"DON'T YOU DARE PLANT BOMBS ON THIS SHIP!!! Things seems to be more than they appear."

Turning his attention back to the being, he resumes contact.
"Show me more."
 

A gutteral snarl of anguish escapes Serraphina's distended werebear lips as she regains her bearing. "Oooh" "That may not have been the smartest course of action." Raising a large claw to her brow glancing at the others. "This place is brimming with evil intent. We cannot let this force of destruction stay here."
 

Melanoce sends her telepathic reply to Karnak and the group.
"Well, Eschaton is full of places brimming with evil intent, so that should make no difference in itself. It's their evil capabilities I'm worried about. Could this ship really be the end of the universe as we know it? If so then why shouldn't we destroy it?"
Consider, Karnak, that they may be aware of our own capabilities and are stalling for time until they are able to strike first."
 

"At least give us time to get clear!" Sigil says to Melanoce.

She then says to the woman-thing. "Last chance. Release Karnak or we'll have to consider it a hostile act and respond in kind!"
