"In truth, I can't really say who was right. Apollo, Artemis, Scion, Raphael, Rachael, Katrina, Christopher, Oblivion, Suna, and Adio. We all had our own agendas, our own interpretations of good and evil."Artemis was wrong, and you're doing stuff right."
All I'm trying to do now is protect people."
((Who let him touch the controls of the hio? This is so much of a failute that my laughter is affecting my typing. Granted, I'm typing on a laptop which is atop my actual lap...))hmmm, alright then, look around on the computer of the ship if it has one, look at any important files or something.[aux:1-1]
Great
You run up behind Skylar, whip your laser rifle out and press it against one side of the control console bank. You then proceed to squeeze the trigger and drag the rifle across the entire length of the control, completely and totally ruining them. The Ship, now at the whims of a misfiring and damaged system, jerks back up into the air and starts jerking around like a mechanical bull having a seizure.
"I'M HELPING!" you shout, as you're flung back down the hall and land, head first, in the toilet.

"Wasn't the Shadow Walker using a remote-controlled gun? Wouldn't he need a radio signal sender thingy to do that?"Head back to the Sword. Locate the AM."Radio triangulation is possible, but you're gonna need three points of reference. And that means three receivers. And they're gonna have to be a good distance apart and pretty powerful. Also, what are you gonna use it for again?"
"Miss 'Feyri' suggested I try to find a way to triangulate radio signals. Do you have anything like that in stock, or would I have to make it myself? And if the latter, can I pretty please use Tinker? Oh, and could I borrow a little of the aircraft control thingy's radio stuff useage?"
If A is true, acquire radio triangulation thingy.
If A and B are false, follow Morul.
If A is false and B is true...Tinker time!Spoiler (click to show/hide)
"Gonna have to be more specific about that last part."
((Was it the Child? I assumed Cyrielle and Selina worked on it.))<WHAT?!?>
Richard sighs.
"Odds are Selina's not getting back."
>And no, pretty sure they shut themselves afterwards.<<Nope. Not 100% open, but a bit of magic helps.>
"D-d-d-don't bl-bl-blame her... Pl-pl-pl-please..." Selina stutters from under the cloth."This isn't the first time she's affected someone with her venom, and it was on purposethe first time!"
Victoria idly accesses Selina's mind.((Which one?))
"Basically, you can trade the paper for stuff, and then that person can trade it to other people for stuff. It's useful for being fair, because everyone has the paper and knows about how much it's worth.""Somewhat. The measuring stick is made of paper and is the size of your hand. You give it to people and they give you things that are as valuable as the dollar.""So you have paper with a value which you trade for goods and labor so the paper is self must be a good so it must have a use beyond trading unwise it's valueless like gold. So you want something from someone who need to write a lot because what else would you use paper for but to write so why not ask for the good you want in the first place?"
"Thank you, now what a currency?""It's a thing you can trade with people for other things."
"How does that work, though? You turn matter into energy, and it just floods out into the surrounding area all thermodynamically and whatnot. Absorb more heat, and you've basically violated the second law of thermodynamics six ways to Sunday, and that's only possible through voodoo magic. So the technobabble eventually leads on back to voodoo magic anyway, so it's pretty much pointless to begin with, no?"
"Oh, no. I'm not from space. I'm from the woods. You're the only one cottoning to this alternate universe schtick, really."
"No offense there, lady. When I say 'reptilian overlord', I mean the sort that took over human society with their shapeshifting powers and ran it from the shadows for centuries, causing all kinds of interesting events."etc
I sighAngel hugs her.
"never mind. It doesn't really matter anyway."
I continue to look off to the side, hiding my face, sniffing occasionally.
"Excuse me, green crystal lady. May I call you Scion?"((It would work better if she was a man made out of gold.))
