Aftermath of DESCENT

[vjockey.livejournal.com]

[Cheng was going over the whole mission log. Including the major fact of SKYSCRAPER OUT OF NOWHERE ON THE SHIP. How that happened... Cheng knew that Maya had something to do with it. As did whatever deal he made with her. But there was much that he still did not know.]

[Burning Revolution. The effect was...helpful. But it would be of no use if he had no idea how to use it. He needed to find Maya. He also needed to find out how Adventus even got close enough without being detected.]

[He had a lot of things to do. Delay him with questions?]

Unusual...would honestly be an understatement.

[Cheng runs his hand along the side of his face. Once again the log runs through the entire battle.]

[Haha, you expect Alessandra to read something that's not written on paper?]

What happenstance did occur? An intervention by supernatural forces that are friendly to our case, perhaps?

[vjockey.livejournal.com]

Supernatural...

[Cheng let out a soft chuckle at that]

I suppose there would be no other way to describe what had happened. That was exactly the case...

Though the assistance had only occurred because I had to make a deal with the one who had...assisted us.

[fermionprincess]

Ohh? Did the Devil himself appear in front of you, contract in one hand and quill in the other?

Please tell me the circumstances were less diabolical than that!

[vjockey.livejournal.com]

Somewhat...less intensive than that Alessandra...though if that were the case I would have done so anyway with what had been at risk.

[Explained the situation as simply as possible]

[fermionprincess]

[Alessandra makes a pretty good listener when she focuses. And boy, does she focus now.]
What are the scientific principles behind this occurence? I shall discover them!

At any rate... it was most fortunate. Are you saying the young lady who was enslaved in a block of ice helped you achieve this? I believe I saw her once before... when she was still encased in her cold prison, I mean!

[vjockey.livejournal.com]

I am not so sure about it myself. I didn't think to ask...but I'll keep anything I hear in mind.

[Cheng raised an eyebrow though]

You saw her before?

[fermionprincess]

Yes - she was floating around in the deep void of space, looking so cheerful and merry despite being encapsulated by a block of coldest ice.

I believe someone caught and de-froze her soon after.

[vjockey.livejournal.com]

That...can not be natural....then again neither was what happened.

As for the defrosting, I was present when it occurred.

[fermionprincess]

Oh my! Did anything unusual happen when this girl was released from her icy prison? A small implosion, perhaps?

[vjockey.livejournal.com]

No. As far as I remember she just fell out of it and sneezed.

[fermionprincess]

That is... surprisingly mundane. People suffering from hypothermia should not just sneeze - I am confident in this!

Perhaps she is an ice maiden. A space one. But then, such creatures do not exist in the eyes of science! Oh, the mystery.

[vjockey.livejournal.com]

Perhaps. But that is not my field of expertise.

I am guessing you would most likely have better luck than I would understanding this.

[fermionprincess]

Please leave the scientific explanations to me! I am sure we will get to the very bottom of this - whatever truth may lie there, a horrible or a pleasant one, it must be uncovered!
