Into Mementos: Operation Fire Moth
Hilda types on her keyboard furiously, her brow furrowed as she pours over Mementos schematics, scanning each layer of the Labyrinthine world, searching diligently for traces of a signal...Until finally, her monitor pings, an indicator appearing to mark her target. Locking onto the signal, she presses the button on her headset to initiate comma between her and it...

"Hello? Subject Akamoto Shinji, do you read me? Come in. This is Operator Hilda Eichmann. Do you copy? Over."
Akamoto_Shinji
Huh?.......
*Is sitting against the wall*

Yeah, I copy.....

*Stands up*
Operator_Hilda
"Akamoto Shinji, what is your status? Over."

Hilda sighs quietly, a smile of relief that he responded...
Akamoto_Shinji
Uh.... Tired, You caught me on my nap. What can I do for you?
Operator_Hilda
"Mr Akamoto, I'm sending a rescue party to your location. I will be guiding you and them to the primary objective. We're here to get you and your girlfriend out. Once you and the team rendezvous, we will begin. I'm working on patching through your coordinates to them now..."

She types on her keyboard more, sending Shinji's location to the inbound operatives on an encrypted channel...

>>Location: Level 7: Start<<
Wolf_
*Hillock appears, reaching the place. He greets Shinji with his hand before kneeling down, his hand on his neck...*

*Codec call*

"Operator, I reached the coordenates. I have visual of the objective. Copy*
Operator_Hilda
==Initiating Systems==

...Searching For Party... ... ...

>>Party Roster Open: 1/6<<
Operator_Hilda
>>2/6 Slots Claimed<<

"Affirmative Wolf. Await further instruction."
Akamoto_Shinji
Yo Hill, Long time no see.... Level 7 huh?.....Geeze.... Aqua penetrated further than even the Mementos squad did..... all on her own..... Guess I underestimated her.....
Wolf_
*Roger. Wolf out*
*Call ended*

*sigh* Such a place to meet again...
How you doing, Shinji?
Cait_Sith
I heard something about Mementos, nya? I could function as a bus for ya guys.
Akamoto_Shinji
Uhh..... Exhausted.... But I gotta keep moving....
Wolf_
Hm... here
*Takes out energetic bar*
This will help...

Hello Cait
Operator_Hilda
"Subject Cait, scans indicate a bus is suboptimal for the incoming terrain. I advice against that and thus recommend traveling on foot."

Hilda nods, pinging the terrain as she begins to generate a map model...

>>Claimed Slots 3/6<<

==Minimum Party Achieved==
Sam
*Sam portals in*
So, who sent these Co-ordinates to my lab? I'm curious.
Wolf_
Sam.
*Greets with his hand*
The S.O.S. reached you, I see...
Akamoto_Shinji
Here's what I wanna know..... How did you guys find me? I doubt anyone from the original party told anyone..... So how did you know I was in here, not to mention WHY I was in here....

*Takes Bar and pockets it*
Thanks Hill, I'll use that when I need it.
Sam
Yes. I was working and my assistant told me of a signal.
*Takes wolfs hand*
I managed to finish my adjustments to Marietta, but barely.
Akamoto_Shinji
By the way, Hill, Here.
*Hands a Magitek Module*

Attach this to the back of your shield, Should increase its defense against Magic.
Wolf_
I knew you were to search for Aqua. Amd as you said, the only place could be Mementos.
Also, I was coordinating some agents at the general hospital when Operator called me. Hyllock is now in charge, I'm here to help.you end this. And...
*His face becomes darker*
... nothing, is nothing.
*Hillock seems far more serious than normal*
Wolf_
Oh, thanks... but Hyllock has my shield. I decide I had to give it to her. Still, I can make use of this later... thank you Shinji...
Operator_Hilda
"Ah that would be your sister Mr Akamoto. Well, the future version of your sister. The present version of your sister has been hospitalized. I assure you she's in the most capable hands. But I digress. Future Nanaka requested I find you. Knowing you'd never leave until your goal was accomplished though, I organized to assist then extract you. As for how I found your locations, I've been scanning Mementos for your signature"
Wolf_
*Hillock obtained a Magitek module*
Akamoto_Shinji
Nanaka's in the hospital again.......
*sigh*
Thanks. Looks like I owe quite a few people now..... heh.
Operator_Hilda
>>Claimed Slots: 4/6<<

"Units. I suggest we begin moving. Ive scanned the area and have a general idea of the upcoming terrain. Be prepared for anything. Now. Shall we begin?"

==Embark?==
>Yes
>No
Wolf_
*At Shinji's comment, Hillock seems more tense*
Starwaddle
*suddenly appears in the van, but it has a new...paint job? It's a lot more colorful than before* I heard Mementos! I got the van!
Wolf_
..........
>Yes
Cait_Sith
No time like the present...

>Yes
Starwaddle
>yes.
Operator_Hilda
"Ah Miss Star. As I explained to Mr Cait, the Van is suboptimal. It physically will not fit in the upcoming terrain. Advancement on foot is required."

>>Claimed Slots: 5/6<<
Sam
Yes
Starwaddle
I don't care. This thing has been fitting with a transformer, soooo...*transforms the van into a... bumper car...what the fuck?* I'm ready!
Akamoto_Shinji
Right, Lets get moving.
*Summons keyblade*

https://goo.gl/acB2r4
Operator_Hilda
>>Selection Confirmed<<

"Okay...everyone. Prepare yourselves."

The party slowly makes their way out of the station area at the start of the Level, the pulsing red tunnel slowly fading into a lifeless gray...the tunnel ends out of the side of a mountain, a winding, path working its way out before them, gnarly black, leafless trees crowing the area and arching over the dirt pathway...as they near the treeline, a low purple fog rolls in...
Sam
*A hologram comes out of Sam's robotic arm*

Akamoto_Shinji
I'll take point.

*walks the path*
Starwaddle
...huh...I feel like I've seen something like this before...oh, now I remember! That was a cool indie game. Hmm... maybe I should do something like that...
Wolf_
*Gripping his light saber, he seems more tense than normal. Looking at all sides, the stops when he notices the fog*

*Codec call*

"Operator, what is this?"
Cait_Sith
Fog? What is this, the TV World? *Cait looks up at the trees* It's kinda creepy...
Sam
Further down the rabbit hole.
Operator_Hilda
"I'm not sure what you mean Unit Wolf. Its simply...a forest...my scans indicate nothing more, though be careful. I detect intrusive organic growths..."

The trees seem to groan, almost leaning in more to welcome the party into the darkness...rasping, wet breathing can be heard deeper in, and no other oaths seem open to the party...
Wolf_
*Hillock tries to use his night googles to see further...*
I don't like this. Everybody, alert! Prepare for conflict...
Cait_Sith
So basically, we gotta go towards the creepy noises. Fun. Anyone got a light?

ooc: will probably poof within a few minutes to eat, just have Cait Masukukaja or something if needed
Starwaddle
Rodger dodger, banana man! *Summons her chainsword and sticks it on to the bumper car*
Akamoto_Shinji
*Continues down the path at a brisk pace, keeping his eyes on the surroundings*
Sam
*Yawns*
So, is this floor just fog and trees. I;m just waiting for slender to pop out so I can shoot some face holes into him.
Unit_Spectre
OOC: Mind if I join in?
Akamoto_Shinji
*turns around and looks at the others*
Anyone gonna follow?
Cait_Sith
ooc: back
Sam
I'm coming. I'm coming.
Starwaddle
I've been following you the entire time. I mean, you are taking point...
Wolf_
*Follows silently*
Cait_Sith
Yeah, I'm coming. Not much of a choice...
Starwaddle
Soooooo... anyone have any stores while we're walking?
Wolf_
No, sorry. I'm not a good storyteller
Akamoto_Shinji
No, I don't, Though I know Nana always wanted to own a taco stand.....
Wolf_
(Wow, I think Hilda died. Lets wait a little more)
Operator_Hilda
Ooc: Spectre you can join. Sorry for the delay guys. Irl crap.
Wolf_
(Hilda is alive!)
Operator_Hilda
The party enters into the creeping forest, the purple fog swirling at their feet, the wet, raspy breathing now omnipresent in the inky blackness...

"Guys...This forest...I'm getting massive organic readings around you..but they're...the vitals of them are akin to near dead...like...low vitals..."

The trees groan as the dead branches sway, and the dirt oath grows narrower and narrower...
Starwaddle
I feel like zombies are going to show up. If they do, I'm Burninatoring everything in a three mile radius.
Unit_Spectre
OOC: Alright time to make an entrance.

*he sees the group and walks up to them*

Hell are you in Mementos?
Wolf_
Vitals? The only things here are the trees...
... you think the signals are... them?
*Looks around*
Wolf_
Spectre.
*Greets with his hand*
So you are here too...
Akamoto_Shinji
I agree, Though it would be best to avoid conflict, the longer we spend fighting, the longer Aqua is here all alone.
Unit_Spectre
*he takes out his Maverick AR and giving Wolf the handshake*

Yeah here to just do some material hunting.
Operator_Hilda
>>Party Full: 6/6<<

Hilda sparks to life on Spectre's comms

"Pilot Spectre. This is Operator Hilda Eichmann. Long time no hear. I'm guiding this party on a Search and Rescue. Your support is much appreciated."

Operator_Hilda
The breathing grows more intense, the trees seeming to grow closer and closer together, as the dirt of the path slowly transitions to ash...
Wolf_
Guys... we are being surrounded...
*On the little space they have, Hill gripps thighter his light saber*
Sam
They're trees. Burn them.
Akamoto_Shinji
*Stops moving*
Hmmm..... Operator, Can you give me a hypothesis of what would happen should I cast a Heavy AoE Flame blast here?
Starwaddle
The forest is lit on fire. Duh. Unless these trees have a defense against that.
Operator_Hilda
"I'm not entirely sure...my scans indicate they're normal trees. Though since this is Mementos, if you'd like me to double check, I will require someone to take a quick bark sample...and I don't mean just rip some off. I mean incredibly carefully."
Akamoto_Shinji
Hill, you do it. I trust careful is your specialty.
Sam
*Sam scans a tree and relays the data to Hilda*
Will that work?
Wolf_
Hm... welp, Sam already did it...
Need more samples?
Akamoto_Shinji
*A magic circle appears under Shinji and begins charging Fire Mana*
Wolf_
Not yet, Shinji.
Operator_Hilda
"Hmm...Sam I'm not getting any useful data here. I need an actual sample to be taken. All you've given me of a texture map...Hill, if you could? Please carefully approach a tree."
Unit_Spectre
Understood Hilda.

*he loads a bullet into the chamber*
Operator_Hilda
As Shinji charges his magic, the wet breathing grows heavier, and the atmosphere seems to thicken, the fog billowing slightly, growing in intensity and the trees seeming to lean in deeper...
Akamoto_Shinji
Oh trust me, I ain't gonna let this off unless something attacks.....
Wolf_
Alright...
*Taking out a survival knife, Hillock aproaches the trees carefully. He cuts a tiny piece of one tree, handing it to Sam*
Maybe this works better
Operator_Hilda
==Update==
Operator_Hilda
As Wolf approaches the tree, his gear shines a gentle light onto the bark...raising his knife, the bark shudders, expands and contracts...breathing...
Cait_Sith
ooc: heck sorry about that. irl stuff -w-
Starwaddle
...oh God... it's a forest of Whispy Woods...this might be bad...
Sam
*Sam sends the sample*
That was weird.
Wolf_
*!*
*Hillock backs before cutting the tree*
The trees are alive?¡
Wolf_
*!*
*Hillock backs before cutting the tree*
The trees are alive?¡
Operator_Hilda
The trees expands and contracts slowly again, heavy wet breathing coming from the ground at the base of the tree...upon even closer inspection, as the bark expands, shining orange too can be seen in the gaps...
Wolf_
That felt weird... the trees are alive...
Now we just need to know if they are enemys ore allieds
Unit_Spectre
If it attacks we know it's an enemy.
Akamoto_Shinji
Dammit we don't have time to deal with this.

If you things are sentient, Communicate to us, if not, I'm blowing you up.

*The circle changes, now gathering fire and darkness*
Cait_Sith
A-agreed! *he steps back, gathering fire around his sword*
Sam
Burn them anyway. If anything, they're just shadows made to look like trees.
Starwaddle
How about we don't try to light the forest on fire WHILE WE'RE STILL INSIDE IT!?
Wolf_
That
Akamoto_Shinji
The trees are all around us, I don't think they're going away, no matter how far we run.

And when did you become the voice of reason, Miss "Burning down forests we're in is my favorite pass time"?
Starwaddle
When everyone decided to burn the forest down. Look, I know I can be insane sometimes, but I can be a voice of reason just as much.
Sam
a few seconds ago
Barrier Module: Fire
*Fire Null. Nuclear Resist. Wind Weak. *
I'm safe now.
Wolf_
*Turning his light saber on, he continued to step back*
Everybody, lets regroup...
Akamoto_Shinji
Sorry.... Just in a bad mood, Girlfriends been stuck in Mementos for seventeen days strait.
Starwaddle
Yeah, I feel your pain, but burning down a forest with living trees does not solve problems...I think.
Sam
Depends on your problem
Akamoto_Shinji
It does if it gets us OUT of said Living forest.
Starwaddle
...true, but I think not angering these things would be a good idea. Trust me, we would run out of Mana before we burned half the forest down I'm pretty sure.
Operator_Hilda
The air seems to compress, and the trees' breathing shudders, a low whine breaking out as some of the party charges up fire abilities...

"These...aren't trees...I'm not sure what these are...they're not shadows either...be very very cautious..don't startle them....a high pressure region is growing over the forest...like weather..."
Wolf_
(Hilda, I summon thou!)
IC:
*Looking around, he puts his hand of his neck again*

"Operator, do you hear us?"
Wolf_
(God... ok, forget last part)
Wolf_
Weather? You mean os going to get raining?
Wolf_
Probably the temperature difference. Be careful with fire attacks!
Starwaddle
...I told you guys so. See? I can be reasonable.
Akamoto_Shinji
Tch.....
........................

Calm down...... Calm..... Down..... Acting in anger won't help anything......

*begins cautiously walking forward, the circle following him*
Wolf_
Of course, bringing the thunder wouldn't help...
Maybe some Air attacks?
Operator_Hilda
As the party continues forward, the breathing deepens, and the whining becomes more frequent...the mist thickens, and the humidity rises to unbearable levels...

"Youre about half way through the forest...I think...it just seems to get denser and denser with each topographical update I do..."

Slowly...a steady, low heartbeat can be heard...
Wolf_
*?*
Heartbeats...
*Crouches*
Maybe we can follow them...
*Closes his eyes, trying to feel them. His hands are touching the floor*
Sam
We must be reaching the HEART of the forest. God, I hate myself.
Unit_Spectre
*he follows Shinji with his Maverick AR at the ready*
Starwaddle
...this is Whispy Woods, isn't it? I feel like it's definitely something like it, at least.
Akamoto_Shinji
Gh..... I can't stand this..... Taking way too long......
Unit_Spectre
*he contacts Hilda*

You know about this tree thing?
Operator_Hilda
"I'm not sure...this is...incredibly abnormal compared to all other Mementos levels I've scanned...say..Shinji...what is the name of our main objective again..?"
Akamoto_Shinji
Aqua, Her name is Aqua.
Unit_Spectre
So it's a search and rescue then...
Wolf_
Yes.
Sam
Didn't we already know this?
Operator_Hilda
Upon saying Aqua...it begins to rain, and the trews seem to sigh gently, steam rising off of them...the heartbeat continues steadily...

"Aqua...like...Water?"

The lists suddenly right...
Wolf_
Hm... Irony- I mean, looks like the trees are liking this... where there is rain, there is something more...
Starwaddle
... welp, that was easy. She's probably in the heart.
Sam
*The rain seems to part above Sam*
Thanks, Marietta.
Wolf_
*Rain is falling on Hillock. He doesn't seem to care*
Operator_Hilda
The path slowly ebbs to the left, the ash transitioning back into dirt...the fog lightening slightly...as the party continues to follow the path, the trees seem to spread out some, becoming less claustrophobic...

"You guys are nearing the edge of the forest. Though...its not the exit..its...a mountainside..."

And as if on cue with Hilda's words, the party comes to a sheer, red mountainside...
Akamoto_Shinji
Hm?
*focuses to their right*
Akamoto_Shinji
OOC: Ignore that
Wolf_
And the heartbeat?
*Tries to find it again*
Unit_Spectre
*he looks at his personal radar*

Why do I have the feeling that something is going to jump us?
Akamoto_Shinji
Well.... That was.... How did we miss a Mountain!?
Operator_Hilda
The heartbeat is the same volume as before..but its clearly coming from inside the mountain...upon closer inspection, the rock is covered in a sticky..oozing black mass..breathing steadily...growling almost on the exhale...though there is a gap...from which...gentle blue light protrudes...
Sam
Fog. Trees. pick one.
Akamoto_Shinji
*Tries to warp to the light*
Aqua! Is that you!?
Starwaddle
Mountain. I pick mountain.
Unit_Spectre
I am going to help you Shinji.
Wolf_
*Keeps on alert*
Operator_Hilda
Shinji tries to warp, but simply reappears where he was before...the slightly opening in the ooze still pulsing...light still coming from within...
Wolf_
We could try to search for a way in...
Akamoto_Shinji
Shit!

*Fires a lightning bolt at some of the ooze*
Operator_Hilda
"I am getting readings from inside..its..I'm not sure..hollow? Uhm...it may be bold of me, but perhaps you enter through the ooze...I'm not sure..."
Operator_Hilda
The lightning bolt reflects and hits Shinji!
Wolf_
Shinji!
*Reaches him*
You ok?
Operator_Hilda
The trees shudder and whine, seeming to lean back in on the party..their breathing heavier and the orange ooze between the gaps in their bark glowing...
Wolf_
*!*
*Gets between the tree and Shinji*
Cait_Sith
ooc: getting late, doubt I'll be able to stay here... feel free to go on ahead without me
Sam
Can we burn them now?
Unit_Spectre
Oh SHIT!

*starts shooting at the ooze*
Akamoto_Shinji
*Resists the hit*
Tch! I'll take anything if it works!

*tries to enter the ooze*
Operator_Hilda
The trees lean in closer and closer...the ooze retreating...closing...the light...fading...
Operator_Hilda
==Update==
Operator_Hilda
Shinji reaches into the closing gap...reaching out...his hand goes through several layers of what feel like wet cobweb...his arm now drenched in am oozing orange liquid when suddenly, his hand emerges...feeling air...the opening widens some, and to Shinji it feels like he's being swallowed...as he slowly is accepted in...passing through...
Wolf_
*!*
*Still looking at the trees, Hillock tries to do the same as Shinji...*
Akamoto_Shinji
Just let it happen..... Stay calm..... breathe....

*Relaxes an lets himself pass through*
Starwaddle
*turns into a squid and swims though the ooze.*
Operator_Hilda
Shinji passes through...Wolf following suit, and both emerge into a mountain pass, covered in orange too...though the rock here is gray...the ambiance is blue, not red, and the fog is white...
Sam
*Sam shrugs and follows Shinji*
Akamoto_Shinji
*Cleans himself with a wind spell and looks around*
Wolf_
Hm... sure, this place looks nicer... lets be careful... and try to not touch the ooze
Operator_Hilda
The pass goes on in either direction...though to the right, large black thorns adorn the walls of the pass...

"You..you've just stepped outside the known walls of Mementos...I don't know where you are any more..I mean I have you signals..but this is different...the coordinates don't make sense..."
Sam
*Sam throws his dirty lab coat into a portal. Another clean lab coat comes flying out the portal*
Are we ready to move?
Akamoto_Shinji
Great, we're out of bounds..... Y'know what they say.... Follow the right wall...
*heads right*
Wolf_
Outside?!
*He looks surprised, his hand on his neck again*
Operator, are you saying... we are at unknowm territory?
Sam
*Sam follows Shinji*
So, what exactly is this place? My scanners aren't getting anything.
Unit_Spectre
Well Hilda... time to make a little noise. Calling in Titan Ion!

*his giant titan breaks through the Mementos floors*

Ion: Welcome Pilot Spectre.
Wolf_
Shit...
*Follows Shinji*
Operator_Hilda
"This is truly uncharted..yes...this place shouldn't exist. I'm not even sure if youre in the same place..."

Heading right, the thorns continues along, getting thicker on the walls, the blue ambient light casting long shadows of the party on the wall...
Wolf_
(Hilda, I have to leave. Give me a painless escape, please)
Akamoto_Shinji
*Begins running down the hall*
C'mon.... be the right direction.....
Operator_Hilda
Shinji begins to sprint...though...the shadows are no longer there..
Akamoto_Shinji
Tch..... This was the wrong way... wasn't it.....
Unit_Spectre
Shinji hold up!

*he jumps into the Titan cockpit and follows him*

Ion: This area is unidentified to Hilda and my sensors. We must proceed with caution.
Sam
Wait up, dude.
*Sam is trying his best to keep up*
I'm not built for this.
Akamoto_Shinji
Can ya give me ANYTHING Navigator? Anything at all?
*looks around for the blue light*
Operator_Hilda
"I-I have nothi----"

Static...just...static fills the comms...and Shinji feels a light tapping on his shoulder...
Akamoto_Shinji
Hm!?
*turns around and jumps back, weapon at the ready*
Sam
*Gin reaches Shinji panting*
Slow...down...
Operator_Hilda
Standing behind Shinji...is his shadow...not a yellow eyed version of himself. But his literal shadow...but three dimensional...it waves gently...
Sam
Woah. Some Kingdom Hearts shit right here.
Akamoto_Shinji
*Eases guard*
Huh.....

*waves back, then asks "Have you seen Aqua" in sign language*
Operator_Hilda
The shadow smiles wickedly and crosses its arms...

Many small shadowy dots on the floor work their way towards the party...
Akamoto_Shinji
I don't have time for your crap... Tell me or I blow you and all your friends up.
*Points to Magic circle under himself, now fully charged*
Operator_Hilda
The shadow just laughs again and waves its hand dismissively...before leaning in slowly...
Operator_Hilda
Whispering to Shinji...

"Be careful what you wish for...the Door Is Open...and it can never really be closed..."

The shadow melts into the floor, pooling with the other shadowy dots scurrying away....
Sam
Well... that was cryptic.
Akamoto_Shinji
Anyone here have Light magic... Would be helpful.

*Prepares keyblade if it gets in combat range*
Akamoto_Shinji
OOC: slow, ignore
Akamoto_Shinji
Door.....

Whatever, I'll keep that in mind, lets go.... You there Nav?

*Looks for the Ambient light again*
Unit_Spectre
*the titan and the pilot catches up to Shinji*

Ion: Sir I advise to move slower. My vanguard frame is not built for high maneuvering.

Spectre: Hilda you manage to pick up a lock on us and Aqua?
Operator_Hilda
The light seems to be omni present...a shattered moon rests in the night sky above, but no blue light source can be found...its just...there...working their way through the thorns, the party notices the path beneath them becoming sand..rough..coarse..sand...everywhere.
Operator_Hilda
Static still fills the comms...
Sam
I hate Sand. It's course. It get's everywhere. There's your Star Wars referance people.
Unit_Spectre
Shit... we're way to down for comms signals. Everyone set to local comms system until we reach to a hot spot. Let's press on.
Akamoto_Shinji
Nothing to do but continue....

..... Though I feel like we're going the wrong way.....

*runs again*
Sam
Running again. Geez.
*Sam follows Shinji*
Operator_Hilda
Running on the sand prove difficult..but they manage, the sand getting thicker and thicker...the stone turns to jagged obsidian...the thorns branching out and away from the pass...until they vanish from the path all together...
Akamoto_Shinji
*Looks around*
Now I really feel like I'm going the wrong way......

*sighs and pulls out Wayfinder*
Where are you.......

https://goo.gl/Tx9JwH
Operator_Hilda
The pass room ends, easing into an expansive beach...jagged obsidian jutting out everywhere...the moon reflecting eerily off of the semi luminescent water...
Akamoto_Shinji
....... Nice view..... Wish I could relax long enough to enjoy it.....
Sam
I wonder if there's going to be a guy in a black hooded robe here. Just seems like the kind of place one would hang out.
Operator_Hilda
Although a joke...someone does indeed seem to be here...
Akamoto_Shinji
*Focuses on the person, wayfinder in hand*
Aqua
*sits there on the beach, looking out into the inky water...*
Sam
*Face Palms*
Of course. So the Aqua we were after WAS that Aqua. I shouldn't be surprised in this world.
Unit_Spectre
*he gets out of the Titan and jumps down to the beach*

Who's that?

Ion: Target ident: Aqua. Objective complete.
Akamoto_Shinji
Aqua!
*Runs next to her and kneels*
Are you Ok?
*Genuine concern covers his face*
Sam
OOC: I'm going to bed now. Night.
Akamoto_Shinji
OOC: Night
Unit_Spectre
OOC: Night Sam
Akamoto_Shinji
OOC: I think the GM passed out. Will pick this up again sometime.
Aqua
*I look over at Shinji gently...a blank look in my eyes...*

Shin...ji...
Akamoto_Shinji
*Speaks gently and holds her hand with the hand holding his wayfinder*
Hey.... Talk to me, Just say anything.
Knuckles
Oh No
Unit_Spectre
Spectre: Ion be on guard so it won't interrupt their reunion.

Ion: Affirmative Pilot. Initiating sentry mode.
Aqua
Shin...ji...friend...

*I blink slowly and furrow my brow...*

...Why...?
Akamoto_Shinji
Why? I came to find you... C'mon... lets get you home.
Unit_Spectre
Sir we need get back...

*he jumps into the Ion cockpit and disables the sentry mode*
Akamoto_Shinji
Go on ahead, I ain't leaving.
Aqua
*fluidly wraps my arms around Shinji's neck and looks around...waiting to be picked up..*

...Home...
Akamoto_Shinji
Lets go.
*Picks her up bridal style*

Gonna need you to escort us Spec. Mind?
King_Frost
*Wonders how he stumbled upon this thread*
Aqua
*looks around aimlessly...holding on...*
Unit_Spectre
Alright. I'll leave a paint trail so you can return. Ion let's return to home and report Hilda that we founded the missing person.

Ion: Roger that sir.

*they return to base of Mementos*
Operator_Hilda
Spectre makes his way back to Mementos, coming out into the forest...and with home in mind, he follows the path, leading them all safely out and back to the entrance of Level 7...the comms spark back to life...

Hilda: "HELLO???"
Unit_Spectre
Ion: Pilot Spectre. Operator Hilda is communicating you. Patching frequency.

Spectre: Motherbase this is Spectre Shinji founded the missing person. Left a neon trail so they can follow it.
Akamoto_Shinji
Heyo Nav. Mission accomplished, send us home please......
Unit_Spectre
Ion: Lady Hilda and Sir Shinji. IMC titans are in the levels 2 through 4 of Mementos.

Spectre: That is true. Me and Ion are going to stall them. Shinji, I am sending an alternate route of escape.
Akamoto_Shinji
I'll just teleport us out, Should save time and effort. That good Nav?
Unit_Spectre
Ion: Negative they will establish a beach head in the following levels: 1, 3, 7 and 10. If IMC fores are not driven out the chance of driving them out will be a 1.5 percentage.

Spectre: You teleport out me and Ion will handle it.
Akamoto_Shinji
Gotcha.

*A magic circle forms under the three and begins gathering mana*
Unit_Spectre
Spectre: Alright... KNOCK KNOCK you IMC sons of bitches!
