FF2d6 - Secrets of Larian IC

[DualShadow]

Carefully examining the cloaked man (slow action Study), Nate come to an halt around 15 feets from him.

Cloaked man, wagging his finger as if disaproving of something, chances are, either my being here or the journal I am trying to carry away. Also it is either by a random chance that I stumble upon him or some kind of alarm ward was placed on the room or journal. It wouldnt be far fetched to assume this is Alistaire.

Awaiting either the man's questionning or the soon to come result of his examination, Nate kept the heavy silence.

[Creed]

He stands up and sticks out a hand.
Book. his voice is soft but commanding, his hand black gloved.

[DualShadow]

It is then a safe guess to assume that you are Alistaire. Or if not, I wish to speak with him.

Nate place the book in front of him but not as if giving it away, only to place it in the center of attention.

[Fearan]

My vote is for the sunken city - less politics, more adventure. - for the very first time, Aquilan's voice sounded ethusiastic. - Besides, it could be even more profitable, than going for crappy cultist's bounty.

[Zefir]

"Hopfully we will find our desteny down there."

Eon stand up from his seat.

"Well. Where is the rest?"

[Creed]

Nate place the book in front of him but not as if giving it away, only to place it in the center of attention.

The figure makes a "huh?" noise.
Alice-stair?
He drops his outstretched hand and gestures to the chapel around them.
Say shun err?

[Adell]

"Well, since it is a group vote, I guess we're heading off to the sunken city. The only one who is not back is Nate, but he's been gone for a long time. I think the best we can do is go to the sunken city and leave a message with the innkeeper."

I'll tell 'em that you all went off fer the docks. Don't chu werry.

[DualShadow]

I am sorry, but I do not understand you. Do you have a name?

[Creed]

I am sorry, but I do not understand you. Do you have a name?

He shoves a finger into his chest.
Mordacai.
He points at you.
Alice-stair?
He raises his arms to the room.
Say-shun err?

[DualShadow]

Mordacai..... maybe he is M.

Greetings Mordacai.

Pointing at himself: Nate

Me is looking for Alistaire, pointing at himself again, then pointing at his eyes and finally at the plate on Alistaire's door.

[Creed]

Say-shur err?
Where say-shun err?
Mordecai look for Alice-stair no. Look for say-shun err.
He draws a box on the ground in the dust.
Say-shun
He draws an R inside it.
Err, yes?

[DualShadow]

Section R, something about the library and Section R is in the book too.... also the R variable...

I do not know where Section R is, but I can show you something with R. Please follow me.

Nate head toward Alistaire's room, showing the schematics with the variable R...Who know maybe the man is a genius. With some difficulty....

[Creed]

The man grabs a random book off a shelf and produces a writing instrument, scribbling in the back with zealous fury.
Err, yes? Err is, the, ah, crystal. You see, schematic is, um, displaced.
He turns the schemtatic of the bike sideways.
The schematic now shows what appears to be a pod of some sort.
Err power pod, keep working, yes?

[DualShadow]

So this pod is powered by a crystal, I understand. Do you know the goal of this pod?

Nate also take a second view at the schematics. Trying to see it in a new way.

Don't know if it warrant another lore but ill roll just in case.

[Creed]

Eh, preserve. Live, bring forward into live, yes?

[DualShadow]

A statis pod, designed to preserve its occupant during a great amount of time, I have read about it yes, thought the technology was lost in the great machina war.

Taking a ledger, Nate scribble about that discovery.
Now the perfect place to find that.... would be the Sunken Ruins, do you know of these ruins? Maybe the section R is there.

Yes, say-shun err! Exactaly! But ruins, very far from surface. Follow.
He walks out and towards the library, and pulls down his hood, revealing a young man with neon green hair and angular features, beady black eyes resting in his skull.

[DualShadow]

Interesting features.... experimentation gone wrong perharps?

Nate follow Mordecai.
You don't have to answer if you dont want to but I would like to know about you.

[Creed]

Mordecai come from far away. Very far. Poor family. Mother die when Mordecai very young. Sister did awful things to buy medicine for half-dead father. I leave them, go to get money. I come back, family dead. I have book. Book says that say-shun err is near here. Say-shun err bring them back. Say-shun err I will find.
He starts rooting through the library.

[DualShadow]

Sorry to hear that. I have known my parents for about 6 years before I somehow were left alone in the streets, never found them back. I don't know the extend of whats in the ruins but I hope it can help you.

[Creed]

Mordecai also hopes for this.
He continues pulling book after book off of the shelves, throwing them over his shoulders as he works.

[DualShadow]

You say you have a book talking about the section R, mind showing it to me? I wish to study its content.

As Nate try to stand out of the of falling book's way.

Mordecai produces a grey book from his coat and tosses it to you.

[DualShadow]

Carefully opening it (Nate took an habits of carefully opening all books, after all he did spent 5 years with old tomes and such), Nate start reading some of the pages, to get an idea of what is inside because now is not the perfect time to sit and read peacefully.

[Creed]

Most of the book is in a different language.
(DC 14)
That that remains details the statis pod's existance in Section R, and suggesting it's location well guarded by the devout of Yevon to prevent the use of the Machina inside.

Need a ten, ouch.

Also, I hope that Mordecai is gonna find something in those shelves soon.

[Creed]

Mordecai has cleared the shelves, revealing the barren walls behind them, he sits on a table, thinking.
The book details Section R, a laboratory and library created by a group of genius Al Bhed shortly after Sin's appearance. the Ultimate Goal of Section R was to create a superweapon that would destroy Sin. Because of their destructive intent, Yevonites eliminated the scientists one at a time until only one remained, who spent the ret of his life secluded in Section R, hoping to find a way to extend his natural lifespan to live long enough to create a superweapon. The Statis Pod, later referenced in the journal of a long-dead explorer, is shown to be the scientists method of extending his life.
Due to the nature of his seclusion, it is unknown if the scientist actually succeeded in creating a weapon that could defeat Sin.

[DualShadow]

What are you thinking about Mordecai? A way to the sunken ruins?

Clearly not knowing what to do with Mordecai, Nate can only wait after him, nothing in his library could have prepared him for such an unusual social encounter.

Yes. I assumed a secret entrance somewhere in the library, but apparently I was incorrect.
