samurai-turtle Posted July 21, 2021 Posted July 21, 2021 Upon seeing the Thudaal, Polaris asked. Is he in a trance? Checks to see what sort of condition the Thudaal is in. The next thing Polaris spots is the "thing" in the cylinder. Is that a plant or a bug? Tries to identify the creature.

While inching closer, he made sure to keep an eye on the purple tank, trying to figure out its contents (Nature check). "Agent Lars?," the Chimeran asked in a calm and soothing manner, not wanting to startle the stranger in whatever it was he was doing. Felix Nature Proficiency Check (DC 3, 5) - (2, 4, 4) 2 Successes The Thudaal doesn't answer Felix's greeting, his gaze staring blankly ahead. The creature in the tank undulates in a jerky motion, but the Chimeran is unable to recall ever seeing something of its nature. 6 hours ago, samurai-turtle said: Upon seeing the Thudaal, Polaris asked.

KotZ Posted July 21, 2021 Posted July 21, 2021 “Somethings not right.” Varen keeps his hand close to his rifle, just in case.

He seems out of it. She gently moves the cube out of the Thudaal's reach. Maybe he will snap out it now. Their looks like control panel next to this thing. Polaris looks at the panel to see if she can read the thing. OoC: First thing Felix gets two Nature checks? Second thing how did I get two extra weapon's from the last fight? I guess I could give one to Felix (Khorne's) character .

Polaris gently nudges the cube away from the Thudaal with her foot. The Thudaal remains in its trance however. As the Chimeran inspects the panel she notes that it seems to control the containment tank and monitor several gauges and dials. MM Note: Fixed and fixed.

Polaris interacts with cube and in her mind's eye watches as a creature similar to the one in the tank is ripped from another sphere of reality into Ætherspace. The creature is captured by Ætherdivers dressed in livery featuring a wolf's head and subjected to experiments. Formula and equations begin to run through the Chimeran's head, questions about Ætherdiving, and reversal, and the link between the body and the soul.

What ever that thing is in the cylinder their is data on it in this cube. Maybe this person here is in some sort of shock because of the cylinder creature.
Khorne Posted July 23, 2021 Posted July 23, 2021 Carefully eyeing the whole scene, Felix scratched his chin while trying to figure out the next move. Wanting to share in the knowledge Polaris uncovered, he decided to 'read' the cube as well and touched it (mostly for RP reasons, because otherwise I wouldn't be able to know what Polaris saw exactly). "Looks like Lupin Bio-Tech was into sketchy business. Perhaps they bit off a chunk more than they can chew," Felix said as his eyes traced the strange wyrm in the container once more. He stepped away from Lars and moved towards the computer to see if he could procure some extra information from it, if need be even using his Hacking Skills to see if he can uncover any data.

Khorne Posted July 23, 2021 Posted July 23, 2021 "Alright, I'm in!" Felix hollered jubilantly. "Though sadly, I can't seem to access everything. Damn it!" "Hmm, let's check out this...thing's... Neural Activity and Respiration Reports. It seems dormant... for now"
Waterbrick Down Posted July 23, 2021 Author Posted July 23, 2021 Felix investigates further into the monitoring equipment.

I better take a second and think about this creature a little more. The cube might of given me more information than I first remembered. I guess so, if taking weird creatures from strange places is trouble. 8 hours ago, Khorne said: "Alright, I'm in!" Felix hollered jubilantly. "Though sadly, I can't seem to access everything.

At this point she starts to read over Felix's shoulder... What does the third report states?
Waterbrick Down Posted July 24, 2021 Author Posted July 24, 2021 Polaris Nature Proficiency Check (DC 1,3) - (4, 3, 2) 1 Success The holocube did provide some answers and Polaris is fairly certain this is a creature from a very dark sphere of reality and given the experiments she observed the creature may be quite intelligent. Circulatory Activity Report Pulse - 180bpm Circulatory Pressure - 180/120 ------- End Report
Khorne Posted July 24, 2021 Posted July 24, 2021 "Well, I can't make much of these numbers, but we can at least say this thing is very much alive. What do you say, should I open the environmental restraints and see how it reacts and if that might affect Lars here?"

I am not thinking of any other ideas. But the only down side is it might think we are it's enemies and try to attack us. I am not 100% sure it can understand us if we even try to talk to it. Double checking the report numbers. Besides right now the creature seems to be in a sleep state. Edited July 24, 2021 by samurai-turtle Spelling

Felix nodded. "I was thinking something similar, too. Perhaps they used the Thudaal's natural connection to the dark realm to draw in the creature and now their consciousness is linked or transplanted." The Chimeran cracked his knuckles and rolled his shoulders. "Alright, here goes nothing. I'll leave the restraints on, but I'll open the Environmental Filter to see its reaction."

It doesn't seem like it. Unless these Thudaal(s) comes from a "dark dimension / plane". Not to mention I am basically in the "same body". But I don't know enough about the Thudaal or this place to give a definitely answer.
Waterbrick Down Posted July 25, 2021 Author Posted July 25, 2021 Felix disengages the environmental filters. An air release valve decompresses and the heroes can see a slight shift in the color of the tank's fluids. As the creature begins to stir a slight pressure starts to build on the trio's minds. The Thudaal abruptly stands and addresses the group. "Ah, thank you. That was much appreciated."
Khorne Posted July 25, 2021 Posted July 25, 2021 11 hours ago, Waterbrick Down said: "Ah, thank you. That was much appreciated." "No problem. Agent Lars, am I right?" Felix asked and followed up with another question to check his theory: "Or are we speaking to this?," he said and pointed towards the tank, "this creature or whatever it is. Can you shed some light on the situation? What happened?"
samurai-turtle Posted July 25, 2021 Posted July 25, 2021 Should I check their vital signs again? If they don't mind me touching them and stuff.

KotZ Posted July 26, 2021 Posted July 26, 2021 "Uh... return?" Varen repeated back. "We'll take Agent Lars back with us, not necessarily whatever..." he waved his hand towards the Thudaal and the tank, "this is." "Intertwined? Like calling to each other from the void or something?"
Waterbrick Down Posted July 26, 2021 Author Posted July 26, 2021 "By all means... we shall accompany you... Intertwined... how do you say it... made whole... If you wish to understand better... please approach the tank..."
