[NEXUS] GLoG 71: Redemption Equals Free Housing!

[Murkus]

Outside - Imperial Cruiser Scrap-heap

And so... construction continues! Rather loudly, and during the daytime now. Probably pretty conspicuous.

Lake

Fettina's here, doing laps near the bank. Her augmented skin looks strange in the water.

[Morty]

[Outside - Imperial Cruiser Scrap-heap]

Reelshka approaches the construction site to see what this is all about.

[Murkus]

Outside - Scrap-heap

She'll probably spot a tight ring of people working on some odd mechanical parts. Something to build a semi-humanoid robot, by the look of it.

They're all possessed of blank, hypnotized gazes.

[Morty]

[Scrap Heap]

What's going on here? Reelshka asks in a raised voice. Who are you?

[Murkus]

[Scrap Heap]

They continue about their various tasks with zero hesitation. Not one notices Reelshka's queries.

Though one person - a young girl no older than fifteen - looks up from her welding work momentarily to study Reelshka. Her eyes are misty, almost blind, and for a brief moment her face is crossed with terrible confusion.

Then she gets back to work.

[Morty]

[Scrap Heap]

Reelshka approaches the girl, who seems to be the only one to show some reaction to her question. Who are you? What are you doing?

[Murkus]

[Scrap Heap]

The girl's hands look to be a little burnt. She's not used to this work.

"Building." Is all she says. All she can get out, likely.

[Morty]

[Scrap Heap]

Building? For whom? Right now, it seems like a much more appropriate question than what they are building.

[Murkus]

[Scrap Heap]

The girl welds a pair of leg plates together with an impressive amount of detail. At least she's gotten some practice. Of course, this is after she's put on a pair of gloves.

She hesitates before looking up at Reelshka again. That blank, milky stare wavers a bit. "Violet."

Her gaze wavers a bit more. Almost moving behind Reelshka...

[Morty]

[Scrap Heap]

Reelshka looks behind her. This is becoming weirder and weirder. Who let them in, anyway?

[Murkus]

[Scrap Heap]

Actually, the Imperial scrap heap is beyond a small patch of woods outside of camp. Not a part of GLoG, I don't believe.

And there, standing a few feet behind Reelshka, is a tower of swirling chaos. A pair of violet eyes drift in the eldritch, immaterial mass. It appears to be in a vaguely humanoid shape, but any and all features are transient.

A powerful, violent command moves through the air, through the space between them, penetrating Reelshka's mind and soul.

LEAVE.

[Morty]

[Scrap Heap]

Feeling rather outmatched against some sort of swirling chaos thing and feeling that she probably couldn't demand even a normal person to leave, Reelshka calls upon the ages-old, traditional goblin tactics and beats a quick retreat. She'll have to send someone more capable to investigate this thing's servants.

[DoomITP]

Zero is exploring the forest.

[Lord Magtok]

Infirmary

"Hmpf. Well, I'll do a brain-scan on him too," Quinn says. "For comparison."

Infirmary

Magtok probably shrugs, wherever he is. Alright then, you do that. Now, if there's nothing else, I've got surgery to get back to, and the high-pitched whine of your voice is making my ears bleed.

[The Bushranger]

Infirmary

"I thought that was Tobias and his dagger making your ears bleed?" Quinn observes good-naturedly. Before hanging up!

[Murkus]

Scrap Heap

The girl, seeing her 'employer', gets back to work. The swirling chaos, meanwhile, dissipates the moment Reelshka is out of sight. Seems it just didn't want the goblin interrupting.

[Morty]

[Campsite]

Reelshka comes running into the campsite, looking for someone to help her investigate the swirling chaos thing.

Sophie is around, but mysteriously unavailable to Reelshka, of course. In fact, she's still working in the garden.

[The Bushranger]

Reelshka might spot Jamie heading to the garden, or Quinn working in the Infirmary.

[Morty]

[Infirmary]

Reelshka quickly decides Quinn is much better qualified for it and comes running into the Infirmary. Quinntheressomethinginthewoodsand- She struggles for breath.

[DoomITP]

Zero becomes bored and undeadtimes in the Infirmary, looking at all the medical machines.

[horngeek]

Infirmary

Brianna looks up as Reelshka runs in. "What is it?"

[Murkus]

Lakeshore

Fettina is... still swimming near here. Cuz I have her playing piano often enough.

[DoomITP]

Zero could meet Fettina when he walks outside.

[Murkus]

I suppose he could!

The girl with neon skin gives Zero a wave, offering a small smile. "Hello there."

[DoomITP]

Zero shall wave to Fettina as he walks closer.

Hi. What's you're name?

[Murkus]

"Tina." The neon girl replies, grinning broadly. "You got one?"

[DoomITP]

I'm Zero.

Zero says while he does a silly bow.

[Murkus]

Lakeshore

Fettina observes this with an amused look, floating in one spot. "Well it's nice to meet you Zero. Just how'd you get that name?"

[DoomITP]

It's an experiment number from what I was told.

[Murkus]

Lakeshore

"Ah. So... patient zero or somesuch, then?" Fettina asks, curious. "Do you like 'Zero'?"
