HAHAHAHAHAAH YOU ARE FUNNY...

*a golden tendril wraps around you and you feel a snap in your body --- Alioth cancelled all your powers as long as you are in his presence --- *

PRISM! YOU'D BETTER START DOING SOMETHING, BECAUSE I'M TEETERING ON THE BRINK OF RAGE HERE!

@Shadrack Nor

How about... how about we leave and we won't bother you anymore, sir.

[Fractured]

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Sure am. For better or worse. But I haven’t had the time to actually make it up here before, really.

@Stratocracy

It's your first time visiting? I've been here a few already—that's mostly why I want to work here.

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

It's just the process of going from a Reploid to a Maverick.

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

No, I just got here, actually...

@RoadkilBanana

What causes something like that?

@Memory

*sighs in frustration but understanding nonetheless*

WHATEVER... I HAVE DONE MY PART HERE... I WILL ALWAYS BE WILLING TO HELP, BUT YOU WILL NEED TO DO THE HARD WORK HERE, I HAVE EMPOWERED YOU FOR THE JOB, AND I TRUST YOU WON'T USE MY GIFT TO BRING FURTHER DISHARMONY ACROSS THE VASTNESS. IN THE END, YOU MAY, AT ANY POINT COME AND PICK UP A PIECE OF MY TESSERACT CRYSTAL FROM THIS MOON, WHENEVER YOU WANT TO GET IN TOUCH WITH ME, AND SINCE THIS TURNED OUT SIDEWAYS, I WILL CANCEL GEMINI'S RESSURECTION... WORK WITH HER, BEFORE SHE IS STABLE ENOUGH TO FULLY DEAL WITH THIS HORROR OF A BEING!

*With that, you both hear a snap and a blinding flash of light, before you are returned to phobos. and strangely Misty is now next to you... and you are alone, for now... Commander Greyson seems to be nowhere.*

@RoadkilBanana

That’s a shame. Sideslash works really hard, I’d assume. She probably does almost all the work herself in fact… At least in a way. She probably pays well too.

@Fractured

It is. She opened it up while I was, how do I say… A whole lot busier.

*Sighs in relief and sits down*
Well that... was something.

@Stratocracy

Busier? Were you thinking about applying too, then?

[Sp00ki]

<Snipped quote by RoadkilBanana>

What causes something like that?

@Fractured

Either a reprogramming or a bug, and sometimes it's just their choice.

@Stratocracy

Well, I might consider it if I'm going to be here for a while...

[Stratocracy]

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

Busier? Were you thinking about applying too, then?

@Fractured

I sure wasn’t! But I was busy with the job I was working my way up in. And now that I’ve reached a point where I’m at the starting rungs of what’s considered a higher-up role, I’ve got a lot more leeway to do my thing as a free agent. At least mostly.

There you go! She won’t work you too hard either… Probably.

@RoadkilBanana

So it's like a faction?

@Stratocracy

What do you do there?

[Meta]

<Snipped quote by Meta>

I have a lot of things to worry about in lieu of a substantial portion of my team in the IA. But you’re right, my priorities remain unshifted. I just have my curiosities about the function of your collective. The how of it, really, and less the why.

@Valiance

*A hint of a smile plays on my lips*
Fishing for info? I've always been awful at keeping secrets.

@Memory

*Random Terran Dominion soldier approaches out of the jungle*

Sir! Are you alright sir! and... uuh... mam! *He looks confused at the newly spawned Misty* I was stationed here to check up on you by the commander! you've been plugged to the tesseract growth for over two weeks now sir!

[Sp00ki]

<Snipped quote by RoadkilBanana>

So it's like a faction?

@Fractured

More or less, yeah...

@Shadrack Nor

Two... weeks? Some kind of time dilation?

[Fractured]

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

More or less, yeah...

@RoadkilBanana

And your job is to kill them?

[Sp00ki]

<Snipped quote by RoadkilBanana>

And your job is to kill them?

@Fractured

Or capture them, but most of the time they won't listen to reason...

[Stratocracy]

<Snipped quote by RoadkilBanana>

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

What do you do there?

@Fractured

I’m a Captain of a small detachment of Special Forces working in conjunction with the IADF. In English, I’m in charge of a separate-but-conjoined portion of a larger division of the IA’s defensive army.

[The Odeoron]

<Snipped quote by Shadrack Nor>

Two... weeks? Some kind of time dilation?

@Memory

wh... what? i don't know sir, you were touching that crystal, then your whole body and attire changed, then, who i presume is Misty from the reports manifested next to you also touching the crystal, and then you just returned to normal... why do you suggest time dilation?

[Valiance]

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*A hint of a smile plays on my lips*

@Meta

Admittedly. Though, more for curiosity’s sake than anything I’d be less willing to confess to. In a more normal time, my work is simply to protect the IA, and to maintain a greater peace.

[Fractured]

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Or capture them, but most of the time they won't listen to reason...

@RoadkilBanana

That makes total sense. What do you do with their bodies? Are they always robots too?
