As the clock begins to wind towards 1:00 PM, things on the ship are... quiet. Some of you are with the convicted in the brig, waiting, waiting, and the Senior Crew among you are just as tense. A few sit in the brig alongside you, while others wait outside. Hope against hope, right? That maybe something can be done.

A pair of pneumonic hisses, different in pitch this time—and the convicted is simply gone. The Eudora's AI calls out across the ship for a state of emergency in the Sim & Grav room. Even if you don't make your way to the location willingly, you find your feet taking you there.

The eerie, orange glow of the empty space greets you, filled with a faint, pink haze when you first arrive. You're brought to the main, largest room, used for large group simulations and zero gravity runs, where a sweet scent lingers as the pink haze fades. However, it is not empty... And it is not blank.

When the crew enters, they find themselves in the center of what looks like a massive tapered dome, spindly and tightly wound where they can't get a glimpse of the outside scenery. Its crystalline walls are a light pink in color with fiber grooves running along it. The floor is clear like glass and what they see below are threads of light and clusters of crystal stamens.

A voice echoes, "Return home, Dion... It's time to show the world the true power of Sanbreque."

Instantly, the protective shimmery barrier covers the crew in asylum when Dion appears in the arena with his lance. Only two may cross to the world beyond.

[discomfort]

[ YEAH. STOP THAT.

owner is just holding onto him very tightly. ]

Gregor.

[verminous]

No, she's-

[she's human. she's not moving. fuck.

holding on to him does keep him here for now, but mostly because he feels almost like he can't move.]

[discomfort]

[ he opens his mouth to respond, but closes it at the image of dion striking himself with his own weapon.

... ]

[verminous]

[the sound stifled in his throat is-- choked. agonized. no, no, no.

not again, right in front of him, when he still can't do anything.]

[discomfort]

[ and then it ends. ]

Come. We need to take her to the medical bay.

[verminous]

[yeah he's struggling back to his feet immediately, now, leaning on owner for support to get up, hurrying right after them where they're taking those three to the medbay. he's gonna be parked right there outside the pods, thank you.]
