Ideally, my involvement has been useful to your team.

@Legend

I can’t imagine that not being the case. I know you have a very useful and diverse pool of skills.

@Heroic

Do you have an estimate of approximately how many similar weapons exist?

@Legend

Weapons? A good tally, and there aren’t many. Engineering with the elements in mind is not a very easy feat. Garsun was the most capable of it recorded, by a large margin.

@Heroic

Then it may be possible to individually secure or destroy them all?

@Legend

For the most part, they are. The tower you visited is a special case, on just about every front.

@Heroic

Special case how?

[Heroic]

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

Special case how?

@Legend

It’s externally impossible to manipulate. There’s a lot of spacial manipulation that goes into its operation, and Garsun designed a very redundant system controlled from remote locations that have never been found to protect it. It was also explicitly disabled as opposed to destroyed as an act of historical preservation. In the grand scheme of Existence, historical sites and records of Elements and related important knowledge is very hard to come by. Most didn’t want to see it just wiped out, when eventually it could be possible to, say dredge up archives in his technology, or reverse-engineer fully functioning technology from it.

*Finally pulls my hand down in a trembling, jerky motion, revealing blood from broken vessels pooling in the sclera*
Right is blurry—
*My left pupil constricts when I look at mom, and the veins around my eye socket tighten and go varicose*

@Host

That's... not good. Even if it's useful, this could do some serious permanent damage.
*Turns to Storm*
Is there a doctor nearby? The symptoms should be treatable by anyone with decent medical knowledge, but we'll have to see what happens as it does.

@Heroic

Ah, the latter reasoning is understandable. Although it does pose a constant danger now.

Which is why I plan to address him very shortly. And he'll likely be expecting a visit.

@Yatagarasu

What's happening to Dawn? Why does she look like that?

@Meta

There are a number of things that could be happening. We need to get her to someone who can care for her for now.

@Yatagarasu

No one that I know and trust who's also here. I can try to do some emergency work if you get treatment set up at home. Then I can go talk to someone who knows what they're doing.

@Heroic

Are you bringing reinforcements?

[Heroic]

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

Are you bringing reinforcements?

@Legend

I intend to. Who that will be is obviously still undecided, but I will likely not be going alone.

How difficult is direct engagement likely to be?

@Dynamics

If you're bringing her home, I can get Sloth on it. They still remember all that I've forgotten, and our tech here should be more than sufficient. I was trying to avoid ruining the outing more than necessary; bringing her home is smartest, but...
*I visibly smack my forehead*
Right, can always go back out now that we've figured out how to. Bring her home, I'll get Sloth somehow.

@Legend

Hard to say. He was a more than capable doyen, a few thousand years ago. I suppose we’ll see if modern masters are any better or worse than they were then.

@Heroic

If I can be of any aid to your team, please don’t hesitate to let me know. Despite my unfamiliarity with the elements, technology happens to be one of my domains.
