<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

*After a momentary delay, makes my way over to you*
What can I do for you?

<Snipped quote by Crew>

Whatever you say, boss. You're not going to be able to reach me until it's all said and done, so I'm going to need you to move quick as soon as you get the signal.

<Snipped quote by Session>

Curtis: Things are already in motion.
*In the distant sky where the large IA flagship rests in orbit, smaller ships can be seen deploying and descending to the earth below*
I hope you’re right about all this, because as of this moment we are putting real boots on the ground down there.

<Snipped quote by Server>

Honestly? I already have what I need. But a shot of liquor won’t hurt.

<Snipped quote by Crew>

I'll see you on the other side, then.
*Drops the transmitter in Rea's car, and then makes a mad-dash for the pools, this time the ground quaking with each step while I move at lightning speed*

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

Of course.
*Pours the shot with my hands and places it in front of you*

<Snipped quote by Session>

*As you move, more and more ships seem to be deploying and spreading in different directions across the horizon, some of which grow closer to you very rapidly as they rocket overhead with incredible speed relatively close to the ground*

<Snipped quote by Crew>

Showtime, everyone. Make it count.
*Flings myself into the deepest point of the lake, sinking like a weight and into the planet, and the natural energy of the world visibly bulges outward high above its surface, starting at the lakes, then lowering gradually as it spreads across the entire world*

<Snipped quote by Session>

*A small group of gunships stop in their flight path and slowly descend on the very springs you reside in as this happens, hovering slowly over the ground as massive, hulking soldiers in mechanized armor leap from stories above the ground to their feet with innumerable loud bangs, deploying automated weaponry and various gadgets over a small patch of land*

<Snipped quote by Crew>

*As the ships descend, the projected nature energy does as well, carrying the people's burning metaphysical energies with it deep below the face of the planet, except those with the will and desire to resist, and particles spray up to fill the void left in each person's life energies and render them in the same comatose state as the trial patient*

<Snipped quote by Zealz>

You stole my… Friendship, I guess?

<Snipped quote by Ignacious>

Sweet! Let me just… Do you mind dimensional rifts and such around your home?

<Snipped quote by Path>

*Leans over and whispers to Gio*
I think you should appreciate me more.

<Snipped quote by Meta>

*Looks at the ally with tired eyes*
You are a saint.

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

*Yawns*
We'll figure out payment... Special is roasted beast with cheesy pull-bread and vegetable salad.
*Heads toward a wooden door behind the bar*

<Snipped quote by Session>

*The soldiers stop moving, weapons raised, and wait in the silence of the still air that follows*

<Snipped quote by Server>

Work has you down too?

<Snipped quote by Server>

Yup! Sure thing! Sounds delicious! *I grin and wave cheerfully at you - then look around for anybody else that might be recognisable to me*

<Snipped quote by Meta>

<Snipped quote by Source>

*walks into a wall that breaks apart when I pass through and reassembles after*

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

You could call it that... I'll be okay.

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

*Returns*
It looks like you were last here a week ago.

<Snipped quote by Server>

This one’s for the both of us, then. In spirit, a spirit.
*Washes the shot down quickly*

<Snipped quote by Crew>

*Natural disasters begin to crop up throughout the globe as the natural energy reserves are depleted, only stifled by the pools draining to replace the damage done to the underlying forces of the planet itself*
