Across Universes

-Omar stares at the back of Oliver's head, noting how strange it is to see him space out like that-

Fox Dad: Very well then. If you have any questions, ask them now. Otherwise, you're free to rest up and get what you need.

Guest Room, Hoshiniha

Oliver: Do you expect mages will be present?

Fox Dad: It's certain. It is a holy dig site, after all. They would need them to be there to study the artifacts and properly excavate any that are still to be uncovered.

Guest Room, Hoshiniha

Oliver: Do you know where the artifacts are stored? Are they awaiting excavation or are they stashed away?

-Dustin's ear twitches when he hears the word "artifact"-

Ren: It is one of yours, we gave it to him last time he was here to help him deal with magecraft.

As for the thing, I will go start up the elevator.

-She gives a polite bow and heads outside-

Penthouse, Terminus Station

-A woman◊ carrying a fairly large, blocky thing on her back walks into the main room, then notices the note left on the table near Dustin-

Elana: ...follow the breadcrumbs. Huh. I think everyone here must be off doing something!

-She looks over to Dustin-

Elana: I'm gonna go see what they're up to. You wanna come with?

-Dustin turns around and sees Elena-

Who are you?

Hoshiniha

Quartz: Are we aware of the nature of these artifacts, or what they look like?

Gespenst - Hoshiniha

Ges: "My apologies for leaving with it. It's not my place to take another warrior's armament. It is considered...rude I suppose, in my world. Still I suppose if you're giving permission I will have it accompany me for this next mission."

-Gespenst gave a bow then stuck the nodachi back into a special holder on his back-

Hoshiniha

Fox Dad: @Quartz You will know what they look like when you lay eyes upon them. You seem intelligent enough to recognize what they would do.

@Ges If you had been the sort of man who would put my daughter in grave danger continuously without so much as a hint of caring for the consequences, we would not even consider it. Fortunately, you've shown yourself of the kind of man who I would possibly entrust my lifeblood to. So there is no issue here with taking it.

Hoshiniha

Quartz: -looks over Oliver's shoulder to take a look at the scrolls-

What about the path to the excavation site itself? Is there anything of note we should be aware of?

-Soon enough after Ren leaves, people can hear the sound of hydraulics-

-Struggling-

-Poor machinery-

Hoshiniha

Fox Dad: It is located underground. There are few ways to get to your destination beyond going "top down" or traveling the many treacherous tunnels that lay beneath our feet to it. The map you have only covers as much as you see there, so be careful what you decide.

Asagi: ...Guys, what's that banging sound?

Gespenst - Hoshiniha

Ges: "I take the lives of my teammates very seriously, it is my own that I have fun with."

-aaaand with that gespenst goes to see what the hell is making all that noise-

Penthouse, Terminus Station

Elana: -to Dustin- I'm Elana. Distinguished Hunter of the Research Commission.

I just got here. Still learning the lay of this... very strange metal place.

Guest Room, Hoshiniha

-Oliver outright passes Quartz the maps for inspection-

-Outside Ges would see Ren using a massive elevator to raise.... this monstrosity of a metal box out of the ground-

-I mean its probaly not all that big to Ges, but as far as normal tanks go....-

Hoshiniha

-Asagi peers outside-

Asagi: ...Is that an OGRE? Or even a Bolo?

@Elana I'm Dustin. I'm still getting used to this planet as I woke up in its forest with no memory of how I got there

Hoshiniha

Quartz: Right, got it. -nods-

... Do these noises outside happen to have anything to do with our expedition, per chance?

Hoshiniha

Fox Dad: Take a good look. It should prove explanation enough.

Hoshiniha

Quartz: -peeks outside-

... Oh. Well. That answers any questions regarding what kind resistance you expect us to encounter...!

Hoshiniha

Fox Dad: Just remember that a tank is more than a weapon, considering the ruins will be underground. It's a shield as well. Now are there any further questions?

Hoshiniha

Quartz: -nods- Well, do you have any advice regarding good use of said tank? I'm not a military strategist, although I would say the sides might be a bit of a weakpoint at first glance...?

Hoshiniha

Fox Dad: It's a tank. That's how you use it.

-Your best bet for information on the workings of a tank is probably not the frontline warrior, Quartz-
