[1//Closed to people from 'The Sicilian Defense']

Dusty, tired looking, and if one were to be honest, a little smelly, the Goliath Scorpion Elementals climb out of their armor and dropships to stare in awe. Terra, that shining jewel, the cradle of humanity. A few fall to their knees, or run the pebbles and dirt through their hands. One or two are weeping with joy. Even Nikolai is smiling, though as the CO, he can't get too emotional over it.

[2]

Later, on the Chalice, you might find a rare sight: a middle aged looking Clanner. Though not as tall as most other Elementals, he still bulges with enough muscle it looks like he's smuggling boa constrictors under his skin. He's bent over piles and piles of books and a data tablet, learning as much of the differences between his Terra and the one he finds himself in now.

[3//Network (video)]

Said middle aged clansman appears on the network, grinning broadly. "Greetings to you, White Chalice, and a fine, though unusual ship it appears to be. My name is Nikolai Djerassi, of Clan Goliath Scorpion. We are a Warden Clan, and longtime allies of the Wolves, so you will have nothing to fear from us. I was called out of retirement to go looking for them. At least we can say we accomplished our mission, heh.

Among the Clans we are known widely for our efforts as historians. Thus I would invite you, if you wish it, to tell me of your histories. I promise it shall not go to the Chatterweb." He chuckles. "Even the juicy parts."

Now that they're here, the Warriors of the Heartvenom Cluster are mingling easily with their fellow clansmen already on board. The Scorpions are, taken as a group, even more rowdy, perhaps less disciplined, a bit more ragtag. Yet curiously, they still defer to the Wolves in pretty much everything, offering them first seats and portions. This embarrasses some of the Wolves, while others revel in the attention.

[Sam's trudging back to the closest surface he could lie down on without fear of getting stepped on. He was bone tired after the two duels he had today. Robot Chainsaw Wolves are no joke. Bald men with Giant Scissors?.... Maybe. Maybe.]

Mmh... Could use a nap after all that.

[He lazily tosses off the snow-goggles he had worn while he was out there - barely listening to them clatter across the ground and bump into someone's foot.]

[Should someone review the footage of the battle... they'd notice that Sam sort of did a ... thing. That thing being him cutting a man open - ripping what looked like a glowing blue spine out of his victim's body and crushing it. What was noticable was that Sam suddenly being able to let loose that massive counter on Sundowner and have the hit he took to his suit more or less fixed... he has a medicinal patch over where the hit landed - so he still didn't get out of it completely.]

[As he's tending to his sword, will you ask him what exactly he just did?]

[Mission over! But a new purple-haired lady returns with the group that departed for the operation earlier, while Neptune is nowhere in sight...what.

She's now standing on the deck of the damaged Chalice, looking thoughtful.]

...So, that's what I'd forgotten. A type of faith stronger than what followers can place in a goddess - faith born from companionship. I only wish I realized it sooner.

Regardless, I owe you my thanks.

[The same person is now walking (and occasionally floating) through the halls of the ship, generally inspecting the same spots Neptune did, like the Clubroom, but keeping herself moving as much as she can.]

It's been a while since I've taken this form. Even with the damage done here, seeing all this from a different perspective is strangely refreshing...

[After the incident with the Inspectors Kurou is learning first hand why the previous Masters of Necronomicon had such a short lifespan. The aftereffects of the imitation Lamp of Alhazred were just as devastating as a real thing. The Sorcerer could barely walk down a hallway without having to brace against the wall. His shirt was stained with blood, and he was struggling to stop himself from coughing up any more.]

So this is what the others went through...

[Meanwhile Al Azif is staring at the copy of Aeon as it began to fade away. She seems rather disappointed.]

As expected, the copy couldn't last long with a real Grimoire using it.


[3]

I'm going to be heading back to Arkham for a bit. Despite us getting lucky with the Aeon copies I know that I'm going to need Demonbane if I'm going to be fighting with the Chalice. The princess also said that they've detected another one of Al's pages back there. So hopefully we can retrieve that and come back stronger.

[In the wake of the attack and all the damage the Chalice has suffered, the mechanics are working overtime to try to get the ship patched up, along with all the machines that were wrecked but still salvageable.  And for this end, Lynn and R were making great use of the latter's excellent articulation while piloting the VeHA.]

A little higher, R!  Alright... now keep it steady!

[After all, why use cranes and the like to precariously position large pieces of metal plating when you could have a machine that was sorta meant for that kind of thing to help with it?  It was easy enough for the VeHA to help out in the repairs, and its small size helped even with patching up some of the damaged mechs too, and with R in control the machine's fingers moved fluidly enough to conduct repairs on a much larger scale than any human could hope to achieve on their own.  They're certainly proving to be a good team.]

[Amuro is just... staring, up at the White Zeta, currently standing in the hangar and in need of some serious repair. He's clearly been working hard on trying to get it fixed as fast as possible, but he seems almost... dejected, by the work.]

Not good enough... Its just not good enough...

[Ask him what's up?]

[2]

We need... to develop something.

[Amuro may have specifically called you to meet at some point in the hangar, knowing your expertise in machinery and/or experimental technologies. Or perhaps you heard a rumour, and came to see whats up.]

Something that might give us an extra edge the next time we fight the Inspectors... and anyone else threatening the Earth Sphere.

[In the ensuing craziness with the Inspectors, a brand-spankin' new Prominence Armor showed up to help out, most notably saving Cheng from certain death.  And a certain Irgelion's back onboard the Chalice after months of adventures in deeeeeeeeep spaaaaaaaaaaaaace, looking about the same as she usually did... though she's wearing a red glove on her right hand.]

Well, I guess proper reintroductions were due sooner or later.  I'm sorry my return had to be during... well that... but all the same it's good to be back.  Going out into space, even visiting Irgel with Christine... that was all pretty amazing but at the same time, the White Chalice is as much my home as Irgel or the Seattle colony.  And you're all my family as much as my parents are.

[For Cheng]



I guess in retrospect those problems keeping me from helping you weren't as big a deal as I thought they'd be.  At least I hope the one about me being an alien won't be one...

... I really do want to help you regain Gucun, Cheng.  After everything that's happened, after everything you're put into the country, it doesn't deserve to be ruled by another tyrant again.
