Inside the Great Maker - IC Thread

[Psychie]

Most Assurant thinks for a moment, then finally nods to herself. "Let us try and replicate this. Having even one of these at full strength will make our job go from extremely difficult to merely troublesome. If we are able to make several, even better. Come. Let us make haste and leave this place to go to seek an audience with Ein. Surely if anyone is going to be able to make this work, it will be her. We can then go meet with Mercurial Intelligence Alloy and Excessively Agreeable Aren as the pneumatic train arrives."

Aren was brought out of his daydreaming by the statement that he could only assume to be a mournful one. "I need a life."

He grinned, eyes wrinkling teasingly. "Don't we all?" His tone was anything but serious, but the metallic tapping of his finger on the windowsill said more than he could speak.

There was a slight rattling from the inner-workings of his arm. Aren paused, bringing his hand downward to rest on the seat beside him. He was tempted to check the compartment in his wrist to see if the data was undamaged, but it was far too heavy duty to be broken with just that. Probably. Most likely... Possibly.

He smiled sheepishly.

After going into the heart of the city to drop off the Core for Ein to try and replicate, the three Champions now make their way to the terminal where Mercurial Intelligence Alloy and Excessively Agreeable Aren are due to arrive. This particular transport is a priority run, ordered by the two Champions onboard to take them back to Ein as fast as possible, so there is little in the way of cargo or other passengers that need to be off loaded.

Soon enough, the pneumatic train slides into the station, and with the hiss of escaping steam, the doors open up to reveal the two returning Exalts from their trip to Kamak.

For Alloy and Aren, you both recognize Most Assurant of Three Assemblies and Relentless Laborer of Sacred Unity waiting for you at the terminal, standing with a third person that you do not recognize. Other than the three of them, the only other people you see are the scattered workers moving about.

Everyone is now together. Feel free to interact as you wish.

Stepping off the pneumatic train, Mercurial Intelligence Alloy tilts her head slightly as she takes in the sight of the other Champions. She hadn't had a great deal to do with them in the past, but that's true of most of the Alchemicals in Kamak. Her work, by its nature, tends to keep her away from others like her. She's built to blend in with the mortals.

And she looks just like a mortal, dressed in the conventional black robe of the people, complete with a scarf for her mouth. At the moment, though, her skin is the silvery clay and moonsilver of her actual composition as she hasn't bothered to disguise herself here. Mercurial Intelligence Alloy comes to a stop in front of the two known Champion along with the third party. Then she dips her head in respectful acknowledgement.

"We have an urgent delivery to make. Are you our escort?" she asks, curious...and cautious.

Mistrusting her colleagues seems the height of paranoia. But then, this crystal is exceptionally valuable. And Mercurial Intelligence Alloy has already paid the price of trusting too much.

Most Assurant looks over at Unity, then back to Alloy. "We were not aware that you had critical cargo to deliver. We are here to see the two of you for other reasons, also quite important. Where does your cargo need to go? We can escort you, and then discuss the current troubles here in Ein in a safe and secure place." She looks around to indicate that there are too many people out and about to be able to go into detail here.

 

[Epiphany]

"Your concern is appreciated," Alloy says in a soft voice, drawing her black robes tighter around her lithe form, as if warding off the cold. "If you would escort us to Ein, we can discharge our duty and be available to help you with yours. If you'd like somewhere secure, I have quarters as secure as any place in Ein but would accept any reasonably secure locale, depending on the scope of your reasons. Either way, we shouldn't linger and draw attention to ourselves here."

Coaxing the other Alchemical on, if need be, Alloy begins the journey of routing herself via public and private transportation, as well as simply using her feet as needed.

Relentless Laborer of Sacred Unity takes in the new Champions, noting each of their shapes and weapons. Then, she gives a curt nod.

"Agreed. Whatever the situation, we'd be best out of the open. Let's get moving, wherever we need to take your cargo." Unity gestures back off the platform with her thumb.

As they walk, Most Assurant introduces Stalwart Champion to the recent arrivals. "She is a Exalt visiting from another Metropolis, looking for a target that she has tracked here. We can go into more detail once we are in secure areas of the city. Let us make haste to Ein's Core."
