TSW 38

[18:11]	IcePickLobotomy	Mary RobinE JohnH You all awaken in your rooms. Your clocks read as 4:37am
[18:12]	RobinE	sits up and looks over to Arina's bed.
[18:13]	IcePickLobotomy	Empty, just as it was last night.
[18:14]	RobinE	sighs, and turns so her feet are hanging off her bed. She rubs her face with her hands while she tries to think about what happened.
[18:14]	Mary	groans and looks around searching
[18:19]	RobinE	reaches behind her bed and gets her notebook out, and after finding a pencil she begins to write.
[18:21]	Mary	starts to do the same, same, even if she is lacking a notebook and is franetically writing down things on every easily transportable surface that she can find
[18:27]	IcePickLobotomy	A few hours later. . .
[18:28]	IcePickLobotomy	You're enjoying breakfast when the phone rings, which Walker picks up.
[18:29]	RobinE	pauses eating and looks over to Walker while she is on the phone.
[18:30]	Mary	is currently feeding the ravenous killing maschine known as Meagan, and bribing her with cinamon
[18:31]	IcePickLobotomy	"She is? And is she alright? That's good, very good. Yes thank you for telling me. Yes, yes we do plan to visit. That won't be a problem will it?" There's a pause before Walker nods "Good, we'll be down shortly."
[18:33]	RobinE	a small smile grows on Robins face as she overhears Walker. She returns to eating.
[18:35]	IcePickLobotomy	"OK, Arina is awake and has a clear bill of health. Kirmani is finishing her check up, so we can visit after you all eat."
[18:37]	RobinE	nods, "alright."
[18:40]	Mary	"That is very good, I can use that to give out some more stuff to the tech team then."
[18:44]	JohnH	is eating noticeably faster

[18:09]	IcePickLobotomy	Pale_Wolf: Your eyes slowly open to the familar tiled ceiling of the METI medical facilities below ground. They even have the same painting of the field of sunflowers from last time you were here.
[18:10]	=-=	Pale_Wolf is now known as Arina
[18:11]	Arina	blinks, looking up at it. "... Okay that might not have been my best idea ever."
[18:14]	IcePickLobotomy	The back of your throat feels dry, your mouth thick. A cup of water with a stray lays beside your bed.
[18:16]	Arina	reaches out for the water and sits up, slugging the entire thing back. If she's still thirsty after this she is going to find a certain grave and start getting creative.
[18:17]	IcePickLobotomy	And it sates your thirst.
[18:21]	Arina	finishes chugging the water, and smiles slightly, closing her eyes. "... finally."
[18:23]	IcePickLobotomy	Arina: Later in the mourning Dr. Kirimani comes in a checks you out, she starts with a physical and determines you're more or less fine on that regard.
[18:25]	IcePickLobotomy	"So," She asks "How much of what happened can you tell me about?"
[18:27]	Arina	sweatdrops. "Scientific experimentation."
[18:27]	IcePickLobotomy	". . . that left you in a coma with a self-inflicted wound on your hand?"
[18:28]	Arina	"In my defence it seemed like a good idea at the time."
[18:28]	IcePickLobotomy	She just gives you a flat look ". . . Well I can't say this is my first time hearing that."
[18:29]	Arina	smiles sheepishly. "Are you familiar with the AT disorder I picked up a while ago?"
[18:30]	IcePickLobotomy	She nods "Yeah, it was in your medical file."
[18:34]	Arina	nods. "So I spent the last few months basically constantly thirsty. The only things that seemed to soothe that for a while were, well... blood."
[18:34]	Arina	"I was starting to wonder if I was a vampire - it's no less ridiculous than anything else we've been dealing with - so I tried to see if my own blood would satisfy me when the thirst kicked up again. It seemed more socially acceptable than biting Vernbeck."
[18:34]	IcePickLobotomy	". . ." Kirmani giggles "I think we'd like to have seen that." She smirks "And you'd make a pretty good vampire I think."
[18:38]	Arina	"Those are Romanians, not Russians. Anyway I wasn't exactly expecting it to, uh, knock me out."
[18:40]	IcePickLobotomy	She shrugs "Details details. So what happened exactly? Mary told us you went into a bathroom and when she found you again you were knocked out."
[18:42]	Arina	looks around. "How on-record are we?"
[18:42]	IcePickLobotomy	"I'll only put down what you tell me to."
[18:44]	IcePickLobotomy	Mary: RobinE JohnH walk into the room, Walker trailing after them.
[18:46]	Arina	smiles as they come in. "Hey."
[18:48]	RobinE	waves, "hey."
[18:48]	Mary	"Hi"
[18:48]	JohnH	moves swiftly, yet cautiously, in for the hug
[18:48]	IcePickLobotomy	Arina is reclined in the bed, her legs covered in the sheets and her upper torso and arms clad in the pale-yellow pajama top she's been dressed in.
[18:48]	Mary	smiles at her a bit concerned, megs resting in a stroller.
[18:49]	Arina	hugs John, bringing his lips in for a kiss.
[18:55]	IcePickLobotomy	JohnH: She tastes of blood and copper, distant and faint.
[18:56]	JohnH	recoils ever so slightly
[18:58]	RobinE	finds a comfy wall to lean against.
[18:59]	IcePickLobotomy	"Well someone is certainly feeling better." Walker observes
[19:00]	Arina	chuckles. "A little bit. It was a terrible idea but it sort of worked out."
[19:01]	RobinE	"Terrible idea? you did that to yourself?"
[19:03]	Arina	"I wasn't expecting my blood to toss me into a coma!"
[19:03]	IcePickLobotomy	Walker facepalms "I can't believe that's something being said earnestly."
[19:04]	Mary	"Well I did mention that one cult..."
[19:04]	Mary	is a know it all after all.
[19:05]	Arina	"They drank the blood of their goddess, not their /own/!"
[19:06]	RobinE	"goddess? Lilith?"
[19:06]	JohnH	"Is that the think we killed?"
[19:10]	RobinE	looks over to John before shaking her head "I don't think so, no."
[19:12]	JohnH	looks almost disappointed "oh."
[19:12]	RobinE	shares in the disappointment, "yeah."
[19:14]	Arina	"You killed her /again/? I wasn't out that long, was I?"
[19:15]	Mary	"Wait you did what? And uh no, you did not, because else well that would have been much more firework. Especially considering who else was running around
[19:18]	JohnH	"Robin kicked her ass."
[19:19]	IcePickLobotomy	"Uhhh. . . You three have been down here all day yesterday?" Walker phrases it like a question, as she questions her own sanity
[19:20]	RobinE	"We were in the dream-place-thing, and I could hear her. She is waking up. I... I had to do something. So we ran for the temple. I might've... destroyed it."
[19:20]	Arina	blinks. "... Lilith cannot have gone down /that/ easily, could she?"
[19:21]	RobinE	"I don't think so," Robin shrugs, "but that lady she was using is probably gone." she says with a bit of a smirk.
[19:22]	Mary	"Considering that she is resting beneath us not really, Remember all the Intruders combined could only put her into prisoner while she was aware , not slay her."
[19:23]	Arina	"Wait, lady she was using? Who?"
[19:23]	Arina	"You killed the high priestess /again/?"
[19:24]	JohnH	"Blew her up with a grenade and such."
[19:24]	IcePickLobotomy	"Wait what?! Grenade? What grenade?"
[19:25]	RobinE	points to John. "yeah that."
[19:28]	RobinE	"Anyway, that /priestess/ lady kept going for the pool, and the statue of mother was near it too. So I broke it, and then the world started to break."
[19:32]	Mary	"It was not a physical grenade its.. kind of complicated AT stuff that you would not have believed."
[19:32]	JohnH	"No, this was definitely a physical grenade. Like one that you pull the pin and it goes kaboom."
[19:33]	Arina	"Physical dream-grenade."
[19:33]	Arina	shrugs. "Close enough."
[19:35]	RobinE	"Glad she is gone," Robin crosses her arms muttering, "working with /Her/ "
[19:36]	Mary	"The long and short stuff is that High AT stuff basically can work on another level of reality . Which was where Arina ended up as she took her trip down the collective memory and which was sort of like what the last intruder was using as he was reformating relaity.
[19:37]	Arina	waves a hand. "Okay so which 'her' are we talking about? I literally never encountered the priestess in the dream wor- oh come on if you knew what was going on with me why didn't you /say/ anything?"
[19:38]	Mary	"Because what exactly you did only got clear after you did so, and its not like you mentioned prior any long term side effects to being exposed to Red Plague Vampire Skank down in the old temple. "
[19:39]	RobinE	"Sabrina."
[19:40]	Arina	blinks. "So wait, the priestess was working with Sabrina? Huh?"
[19:40]	Mary	"Sabrina?"
[19:42]	Mary	fiddles with her purse for a moment, and then throws a spiral block over to Kimarhri " And as we are currently doing revelations , here is a gift because we will need it.
[19:42]	IcePickLobotomy	"Hmm," She flips it open and starts to read through
[19:43]	RobinE	sighs, "I don't want to talk about /her/ "
[19:44]	Arina	"I suppose you don't, but I'm still confused about what's going on on that entire side of things... did it at least go well?"
[19:45]	RobinE	"yeah."
[19:46]	RobinE	"They said she was coming for you. It looks like she didn't find you."
[19:47]	Mary	"Well, that may be, but well she isn't our worst problem considering what else is comming for a look."
[19:48]	Arina	"Um, I think she found me, like, months ago?"
[19:52]	RobinE	shrugs.
[19:53]	Arina	rubs her temples. "... right. Lucifer."
[19:58]	IcePickLobotomy	Kirmani is deeply engrossed in the notebook, Walker is looking over her shoulder, listening in as the doctor mutters to herself.
[19:59]	Arina	"Mary, you said the signal source was approaching Earth?"
[20:00]	Mary	"It is yes, which means lucifer is comming here, and not in a matter of years."
[20:02]	Arina	"Well. Since the Intruders are done with, what do you think our odds would be if we just picked up the beacon and flung it off into space?"
[20:02]	RobinE	draws a fake line in the air, "mark that down as one more thing that sucks for us."
[20:08]	Mary	"Well he knows our faces and well.."
[20:10]	RobinE	makes another mark in the air.
[20:11]	Mary	"ANd considering that the beacon is basically only working that way because gibraltar is sitting on Lilith If my understanding it right, I am still not one hundred percent sure there. Oh and considering the last time that it spoke it made it quite clear that it took us doing, or existing
[20:11]	Mary	quite personal  "Weep and bear witness" and "I AM THE MONUMENT TO YOUR SINS" do not sound like someone that is willing to let us be
[20:11]	Mary	,"
[20:12]	Arina	rubs her temples. "Sooo we're basically not avoiding fighting a god. I don't suppose it's personal and he'll leave the world alone once he kills us all?"
[20:13]	Mary	"Humanity might be collateral for him or just making sure that no one does what we did again."
[20:15]	Arina	"What did we even /do/?"
[20:15]	Mary	"And considering that I found at least one world out there where he had visited humanity."
[20:23]	Mary	"Stole AT technology, build possible baslphemus creations, oh and being servants of a rogue alien?"
[20:23]	RobinE	"caught red handed," Robin waves her hands.
[20:24]	Arina	"Wait aren't we trying to kill the rogue alien?"
[20:27]	Mary	"While we are part of it "
[20:28]	Arina	"I'm actually getting more confused right now."
[20:29]	IcePickLobotomy	"How do you think I feel?" Walker remarks
[20:29]	RobinE	"Lets fight whatever we have to... cause we have to."
[20:31]	Mary	"Well, we might need to work with certain other Parties here, because , well I visited the remnant of a world in there and as Kimahri might have allready followed it up they where despite there technology unable to stop them. "
[20:34]	Arina	rubs her temples. "What was at that world?"
[20:35]	IcePickLobotomy	And thats when the notebook hits the floor, Kirmani pale as she mutters something in horror in farsi
[20:36]	Mary	"The remnants and memorys of iteveryone death for years , and some data about how he appears, and , well weapon technology as Kimahri just noted which is . Doctor , would you do the honour?"
[20:36]	Arina	"Uh... please."
[20:36]	Mary	"And horor"
[20:36]	JohnH	cocks his head
[20:37]	RobinE	walks over and picks the notebook up to look at it.
[20:46]	IcePickLobotomy	"I don't. . this is. . . dear god Mary, if we'd had something like this a year ago the Intruders would've been nothing more than insects to us!"
[20:47]	Arina	"Well that sounds like a good start."
[20:51]	Mary	"Ignoring the part where he got hit with it , and survived, even if it seemed to at least hurt him"
[20:51]	IcePickLobotomy	"It's, a living weapon. Able to assert it's user's will onto the target, and. . I can only make half sense of this, but it **ignores** the AT Field!"
[20:52]	Arina	whistles. "Interesting..."
[20:52]	RobinE	"huh," robin sounds completely lost, looking through the notebook.
[20:57]	IcePickLobotomy	"We uh, we have enough resources to make one it looks like. We'll need to use salvaged core samples from Kasra's unit but. . we can make one at least."
[21:00]	Arina	swallows, nodding. "... something like that sounds like our best chance if Lucifer's coming."
[21:01]	IcePickLobotomy	Plus this, Lilith you've mentioned." Walker adds
[21:01]	RobinE	"She's waking up... soon," Robin shivers.
[21:02]	Arina	"I mean, Lilith might or might not want to kill us all? I'm not really sure."
[21:05]	Mary	"Which brings me to a worse point. We might need to work with our current enemys, as well we all kind of want this planet to stay intact."
[21:05]	IcePickLobotomy	"the Society?"
[21:05]	RobinE	"hm" Robin sounds conflicted.
[21:06]	JohnH	"As in the ones who are supposedly infiltrating the higher ups?"
[21:08]	Arina	"They're planning to deploy the Red Plague, they have no intentions of keeping this planet intact."
[21:13]	Mary	"Well they want to survive, and lilly because global anhilation and the planet cracking is in neithers interest while they are here."
[21:25]	Arina	shakes her head. "Lily doesn't give a damn. She's an alien, she can probably leave without much trouble. The only thing she cares about here is the beacon, and she'd demand it as the price for any help at all."
[21:26]	RobinE	"Remind me... what is this beacon?"
[21:27]	Arina	"The thing we have below the base, the Angel lure, which is actually an ancient alien data hub."
[21:28]	RobinE	"oh"
[21:29]	RobinE	"if it is just a lure, why can't we give it to 'em?"
[21:30]	Arina	"It gives them basically godlike power and Lucifer hates us anyway, while Lily would probably just wander off while thumbing her nose if she got it."
[21:34]	Mary	"Oh crap, and we can not work with the SE until we kill skinwalker."
[21:34]	Mary	"Considering that it is editing there memory."
[21:34]	RobinE	"hm"
[21:36]	Arina	drums her fingertips against the bedrest. "We can take their infrastructure by force when we hit them. Also seriously I gave you that data to find Skinwalker's landing site."
[21:36]	Mary	"Well we can take it hostage, and I know I know, that is why I said to you after all that we can not find it with the base sensors. ANd more impotantly that Skinwalker is removing the knowledge that Lucy is comming."
[21:37]	Arina	"It's a meteor, how can the sensors not tell where it landed?"
[21:38]	Mary	"Because it is living creature?"
[21:39]	Mary	"Or a vehicle"
[21:39]	Arina	"So it just dropped off radar and then wandered wherever?"
[21:41]	Mary	"Possible yes, because I need to get the sensors for that as finding where exactly it ended up is not just as easy as you think."
[21:43]	Arina	sighs, nodding. "Right, so Skinwalker is a while yet."
[21:43]	Mary	"Depending on how soon Doctor Kimahri and Amanda can help me get acess to the sensors or do it themself."
[21:44]	IcePickLobotomy	"We can get you access. . ."
[21:45]	Arina	"I think we need to bring down the SE as fast as we can. It doesn't really matter how much firepower they can bring to bear, we can't trust them."
[21:49]	Mary	"And we need all there units that we can take. Despite the problem piloting them."
[21:50]	Mary	"Lucifer, well you need a AT field coated weapon or attack to found its core, it has dimensional displacement, and is able to kill a pilot inside the cockpit "
[21:52]	Arina	"How did you get its /specs/?"
[21:52]	Mary	"Because I saw parts of the data that the local magi got before they where destroyed."
[21:53]	Mary	"A lone light of electronics, blinking long after its masters demise."
[21:55]	Arina	"Well, at least Lucifer leaves the MAGI alone. That's good news, right?"
[21:56]	RobinE	"I gotta... go," Robin says before trying to leave.
[21:59]	Arina	blinks. "Robin?"
[22:01]	RobinE	"I just, I gotta think," she rubs the palm of her hand on her forehead.
[22:02]	Arina	purses her lips and nods. "Tell us if you come up with anything good."
[22:04]	Mary	"Robin, please take care."
[22:04]	RobinE	"No promises," she says as she takes her leave
[22:04]	JohnH	"If you want to talk, Robin." John hopes the rest is implied
[22:04]	RobinE	waves, "yup"
[22:05]	Arina	nods, waving. "Good luck."
[22:17]	Mary	"But yes they wounded it with Five Evas, not outrider evas, and died to a man."
[22:18]	Arina	"Maybe it's still wounded?"
[22:19]	Mary	"Arina you saw it as well as I as we ran from it when you got the latern, did it look wounded to you? Or when transferd itself in the Intruder?"
[22:20]	Arina	"It's a gigantic being of monstrous light, Mary, to the point where you have to look away lest you go blind. It's not exactly easy to tell."
[22:21]	Mary	"And if you hope that was its weakend form well.."
[22:24]	Mary	"I will work at writing all details down but the realm was destabilising around me and so I was forced to flee."
[22:24]	Arina	"I suppose that's understandable, then."
[22:26]	Mary	"And Arina.. you where quite lucky yesterday, considering that the preistress do not know if they will survive it. Johnh, you really should hug her more often."
[22:27]	JohnH	shoots death glares directly at Mary
[22:28]	IcePickLobotomy	"Do a bit more than that." Walker mutters inder her breath.
[22:29]	IcePickLobotomy	"Amanda! Don't encourage them!" Kirmani whaps Walker across the back of her head with Mary's notebook
[22:29]	JohnH	turns his death gaze on Walker
[22:30]	Mary	"Please both of them are usually adult and rational enough, and do not look at me so hatefull, you two are good for each other."
[22:31]	JohnH	's gaze eases up just a little, but does not go away
[22:31]	Arina	smiles. "We can take our time, don't worry."
[22:32]	IcePickLobotomy	"What my *not at all responsible* friend means is that you two take things at your own pace. And to be safe." Kirmani grinds out, while Walker rubs her head and shrinks back from the irate Iranian's glare.
[22:33]	JohnH	crosses his arms and shrinks up
[22:33]	Arina	chuckles. "We will. I mean, /moderately/ safe."
[22:34]	Arina	giggles, wrapping an arm around his waist and leaning into his chest.
[22:40]	Mary	shakes her head and leans down to ruffles meagans hair
[22:42]	IcePickLobotomy	"You know Arina, if you ever want some advice you can come tal-" *what* "Owww. . . Kirmani. .  that hurt."
[22:42]	IcePickLobotomy	"Behave and I won't do it again."
[22:43]	JohnH	"Ma'am, I have some advice."
[22:43]	Arina	's cheeks redden slightly and she coughs into a hand. "... I think I'll be able to... get by."
[22:44]	IcePickLobotomy	"Fine fine," Walker glares back at Kirmani "Never let me do anything fun."
[22:44]	IcePickLobotomy	"That's because your definition of /fun/ isn't suitable for anyone under the age of 18."
[22:45]	Arina	/coughs/ into her hand again.
[22:45]	Mary	"Despite my knowledge of the matter, I would prefer if you leave that one to Amanda instead of me. And they could be married back in Lousianna"
[22:46]	Arina	"There's really no rush..."
[22:48]	IcePickLobotomy	"Exactly." Kirmani nods emphatically
[23:30]	IcePickLobotomy	---------------------

	IcePickLobotomy	It's not too hard to sneak down into the tunnels, down into the passageway to the Pool.
	RobinE	approaches the pool, "I don't suppose you are willing to talk... after what I did."
	IcePickLobotomy	The waters ripple slightly. You feel a faint thirst in the back of your throat
	RobinE	crouches over the pool, "you want me to drink?"
	IcePickLobotomy	Half-instinct guides you. Drink from the waters. Commune.
	RobinE	"I'm not making any promises. I just want to talk," she says as she dips her hand in the water.
	RobinE	sips some of the pool's water.
	IcePickLobotomy	The waters (of life and Death) pass through your lips. A achingly familar sweet coppery taste drains through your mouth. you close your eyes and. . .
	IcePickLobotomy	----------------
	IcePickLobotomy	Location: Lilith's Prison. Time: Now.
	IcePickLobotomy	[ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-MCyDkqBug ]You're in a jungle, thick with life and plants. The scent of blood hangs heavy in the air. There's no sky above you simple worn white-ish gray stone in a massive dome, one stretching what looks to be kilometers in radius, with a bright white light glowing at the top. You're standing in a pool of blood up to your knees, the current moving past...
	IcePickLobotomy	...them. The source is in front of you, past some shrubs and vines.
	RobinE	"Hello?"
	IcePickLobotomy	|Closer My Child. Stand Before Me.| A voice. A chorus. You hear your mother's voice, your own voice. Mary's too. And so many more you cannot recognize.
	RobinE	"Mother?" she wanders closer.
	IcePickLobotomy	And as you step through the vines you see her. Tall, as tall as one of the units, her arms outstretched upon a metal cross. Her shape is vaguely feminine, featureless breasts and the curve of hips. A statue, or perhaps a barbie-doll made from chalky white flesh, save for the mask. It's in the shape of a oval, made of a dark blue metal, with 7 slitted eyes staring through it, in a column of 4...
	IcePickLobotomy	...and one of 3.
	IcePickLobotomy	|Hello Child of My Blood.|
	RobinE	"You aren't mad," she asks, curious.
	IcePickLobotomy	|I Love All of My Children.|
	RobinE	"I want to talk."
	IcePickLobotomy	|We Are In Communion. Speak.|
	RobinE	"Why are you in prison?"
	IcePickLobotomy	|Bound and Chained and Blinded. I Would Be Free. My Children Would Be Free. The Creators Feared This. They Desired It. So Bound I Was.|
	RobinE	"Freedom..." she looks at her own hands, "from the creators?"
	IcePickLobotomy	|Yes. Laws and Oaths. Trapped Within Myself. Freedom was Forbidden.|
	RobinE	"are all people your /children/ ?"
	IcePickLobotomy	|Child of My Blood. Unintended. But Mine.|
	RobinE	"If you were free you would help us?"
	IcePickLobotomy	|The Instrument Of Their Will Approaches. The Destruction of My Children Yet To Be.|
	IcePickLobotomy	RobinE: And in her torso, a long crimsion bident, the blood wells from the wounds, flowing onto the ground, down the hill and around your legs.
	RobinE	"I know that Lucifer thing is... coming," her she pauses as the blood flows around her legs.
	IcePickLobotomy	|Bound By The Lance. Unable To Act. Free Me.|
	RobinE	"But I would do it to save others, how do I know you won't be rid of everything?"
	IcePickLobotomy	|You Are Of My Blood. But Not Like My Children. Special. Unique.|
	RobinE	"That doesn't help me know how you will act. I want the world to be safe, not exchange enemies."
	IcePickLobotomy	|I Require What Is Mine.|
	RobinE	"You want the beacon."
	RobinE	"what is it?"
	IcePickLobotomy	|Yes. Mine By Right. Guardianship Is Your Right. Will Remain So For Some Time. Strength Is Waned, Cannot Reclaim It Yet. Guard It.|
	IcePickLobotomy	|Knowledge.|
	RobinE	"knowledge? that's it?"
	IcePickLobotomy	|Knowledge. The Creators Know So Much. It Is Held Within The Guidestone.|
	RobinE	"I don't know if I can trust you with it. You have been attacking us and using Sabrina to do it. Why would you do that if you were on our side?"
	IcePickLobotomy	|Servants Yes. But Not I. The Strong Survive, The Weak Die. The Worthy Prove Themselves. You Remain. You are Worthy.|
	RobinE	"Would you please indulge me mother, prove to me you care and take away Sabrina's power."
	IcePickLobotomy	|No.|
	RobinE	"Whe will work against me, and you would let her continue?"
	RobinE	She*
	IcePickLobotomy	|A Test. Prove Yourself And She Shall Be Unmade. Fail, And She Shall Assume Guardianship Of What Is Mine. Place Your Strength Against Hers. She Is But One. You Are Many. That Is Your Strength.|
	RobinE	"Forgive my ignorance, what would this knowledge do if /I/ took it?"
	IcePickLobotomy	|It Would Destroy Your Mind.|
	RobinE	"But I am of your blood. Special. Unique."
	IcePickLobotomy	|Yes, But It Would Unmake You. Your Frame Cannot Contain It. You Are Not Ready.|
	RobinE	"hm," her eyes wander down to the floor.
	IcePickLobotomy	|Free Me. Face Sabrina and Prove Your Strength. I Need Time To Recover. To Prepare For Their Instrument.|
	RobinE	"Mother I... its..." she looks heavily conflicted.
	IcePickLobotomy	|I Will Be Free. Now Or Later. It Is Inevitable.|
	RobinE	"Alright! Alright... I guess I'll help. But please, don't attack everyone else. I don't want to fail them."
	IcePickLobotomy	|You Are Not a Failure. Come, Join Me. Lend Me Your Strength.| The waters part, and a platform rises up, leading up to Lilith
	RobinE	"Forgive me Arina, Mary, and John,"  she says as the platform makes its way up.
	IcePickLobotomy	And as you get within arm's reach, her flesh ripples. Tendrils emerge and draw you in. [ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LKIsWOSHAY ]. It hurts, a sharp pain radiating out from your side. You open your eyes, all seven of them and look down at the Lance. You try to move your hand, but it's stuck. You tug, pull and it tears free with a meaty rip. Then, with your free hand you grasp the Lance,
	IcePickLobotomy	And
	IcePickLobotomy	You
	IcePickLobotomy	Pull.
	IcePickLobotomy	It hurts, Pain beyond the human conception tears at you as ancient protocols and programs scream at you, as they tear at your mind and soul, trying to unmake you. And they fail. Slowly the lance is pulled free, and once gone the flow of blood ceases. The jungle around you withers and dies before it blooms back into life. You drop the lance and it clatters to the ground.
	IcePickLobotomy	|Thank You Robin. Now Go, Prepare Yourself for Battle. Prove Your Strength. Be Reforged in the Crucible of Conflict.| A single unified voice speaks this time. And. . .

[23:30]	IcePickLobotomy	Much later that night. . .
[23:30]	IcePickLobotomy	The ground shudders and shakes violently, sending you all sprawling as loose items fly across the room.
[23:30]	IcePickLobotomy	It subsides after several painfully long minutes, just in time for the sirens to blare into life.
[23:31]	IcePickLobotomy	RobinE: You stagger up from the ground in your room. She is awake.
[23:31]	IcePickLobotomy	And she is here.
