<Snipped quote by Memory>

*I gently wave my hand in front of me as my entire attire changes, my brown-green eyes previously fairly normal now glow with an ethereal perpetual oceanic blue light and i take a breath in, then release it giving a wave of intense clarity and certainty all around me even seemingly helping others who could feel it, sense they are more grounded and present*

Uplifted Benjamin

Benjamin: This is good... oh this is so good! *I smirk excitedly yet serene*

@Shadrack Nor

Maybe now you’ll be more like Alexander...

@Memory

Benjamin: Perhaps... very much possible! The world is so much more grandiose and the puzzle of it is so much more interesting from this point of view *I seem to look nowhere in particular but give the impression like i'm looking everywhere all at once*

Arch Numakhiim Ar'Gavryiell: Let's wait and see where this goes here, first, but i can't say what blessing it has been to train you, at least the essential first steps which you both seem to have excelled here... now i want to see your groups once they reunite, those training under Arch Numakhiim Myallah, Klisp'Anarion and Alexander himself...

@Shadrack Nor

After we group, will it be time to move out?

@Memory

Arch Numakhiim Ar'Gavryiell: I should think so, but i fear we are rushing into this too early, but considering the urgency and the state Universe Urayia-112-ZX-9239... *Trails off realizing that the heavenly codex for this particular universe is WAY too long to spell it all in one sentence* Eh... Urayia for your purposes... no need to get entangled with its string of alternates now... but this one is in a dire state, and the urgency to rescue as many souls as we can, you'll have to learn to hone in your new abilities and wisdom on the battlefield sadly. I only pray that the little basic learning you both did here is going to keep you strong in defiance against C'Thon.

Should we leave copies here learning and training continuously as we go?

@Memory

Arch Numakhiim Ar'Gavryiell: It is already in the works, the first thought was that you leave several copies here or we would make you some clones to have a kind of rope on your souls should you die there completely C'thon can't capture your souls and be pulled back in one of your clones. But this suggestion is definitely valid also... and perhaps we can combine a soul pull tactic from whomever from the battlefield and merge that soul with one of the clones here as they are training to receive new battlefield information... i'm fairly confident we can pull such a move...

The most literal version of an army of one. I like the direction this is going.

*You turn a corner and enter past a door frame where normaly there should be a door, except that frame is actually an completely out of place small tunnel the size and shape of a doorframe but extends out for a few dozen feet until you enter in another expanse of halls and habitat-warehouse like rooms - and what's worse, is that, yes the previous scenario was dead silent and frozen in time, but you could at least see the people that would have moved in there and the vehicles and the activity that was frozen, this place however... this place is just EMPTY... like out of place empty...*

@Shadrack Nor

*I look over at the wall, getting an idea of sorts.*

∆: Maybe... How thick could it be?

*I grab my ∆-Blade and walk towards the wall, placing the top of the hilt on the wall and activating the blade. I begin to cut a rectangle-ish shaped hole in the wall.*

∆: Odd... This wall seem way too thick...

Arch Numakhiim Ar'Gavryiell: Yes, we had to learn a lot ever since we've been fighting this primordial filth... we were at war with it way before even the infamous fall of Ar'Semaell or Ar'Lumiell... He indeed was among the best of us at fighting this horror and now he's yet another enemy we have to be concerned with...

This tactic has proven to frustrate C'thon on a constant basis on all battlefields. Very few souls were truly lost as a result of it being enacted.

Plus, if we’re able to consistently gain any ground at all, the fact that there are unlimited us makes us able to guarantee victory.

@Memory

Arch Numakhiim Ar'Gavryiell: uuuh... let's not get ahead of ourselves... remember we are fighting a horror that is very likely older than Grandfather Himself! and the fight has never diminished, and never gotten better... we always experienced almost as many losses as victories, it is truly our torture stake to bare for the right to exist.

Theme for the liminal realm you find yourself in --> William Basinski - The Disintegration Loops

*As you cut through the electronics, causing a brief shower of sparks, suddenly there’s a soft hum as hidden systems activates.
You notice an immediate shift in the environment. The flickering lights overhead stabilize, casting a harsh, unwavering glow on the distorted surroundings. The air, previously stagnant and thick with yellow mist, begins to circulate with a faint hum, as if unseen vents have suddenly activated. A rhythmic clicking echoes through the structure, like the sound of a mechanical heart beating in the depths of the labyrinth.

The feeling of being watched intensifies. It's as if the very walls themselves are observing you, their surfaces shifting and rippling with an unnatural animation. You sense that the building is aware of your intrusion and is responding in a way that is both unsettling and intriguing.

Once through the inner layers, you are met with a dark void. The light from the blade barely penetrates this space, suggesting it’s either exceptionally large or possesses light-absorbing properties. The void is eerily silent, amplifying the unsettling atmosphere.*

But with an infinite force that’s consistently making ground, you’re guaranteed to eventually take all the ground, right?

Arch Numakhiim Ar'Gavryiell: We don't know it's the answer... the reason we fight is in order to continue existing and expanding... we do not know for now whether we are the infinite ones or C'thon is...

Well... there’s only one way to find out. Once we rescue Misty, she can add to our forces significantly.

*Back in the Akashic Library, we are listening to a large lecture held by Alexander as he finishes on the nature of the codex and nature of geometry and the sacred planes.

The lecture hall itself is an impressive amphitheater, with tiered seating that gradually ascends away from a central podium. At this podium stands Alexander, the ascended scholar with an aura of profound wisdom. He gestures with a silver-tipped staff, its end glowing softly, as he speaks to the gathered audience. His dodecahedron tesseract similarly hooked to a belt on his waist.*

Theme of lecture --> Klaus Schulze - Mindphaser



*Alexander surveys the room, his eyes gleaming with the golden light of knowledge. He raises his staff, and a holographic display of geometric shapes and ancient symbols appears in the air above him.*

Alexander McClain: Welcome, esteemed scholars and adventurers. Today, we delve into the arcane mysteries of the Codex and the profound nature of sacred geometry. The Codex is not merely a book of spells or historical accounts; it is a blueprint of reality itself...

*The holographic display shifts to show complex geometrical patterns interwoven with glowing lines of energy.*

Alexander McClain: These shapes, these forms, are the very foundation of the planes. They represent the underlying structure of the multiverse, the sacred geometry that binds all things together. Each pattern, each line, holds power and significance beyond mere comprehension.

*He pauses, allowing the weight of his words to sink in*

Alexander McClain: The Codex is written in this language of the cosmos. To decipher it is to understand the very fabric of existence. It is said that those who master these sacred geometries can alter reality, traverse planes, and even touch the divine... which... let's face it, we already are doing those of us who have become permanent dwellers of the heavenly spheres... *Chuckles lightly at the remark*

Pre-Upifting Soldier Boy: *Nudges you with the elbow on the seat next to me as i whisper* Is this the way those nerds in the laboratory learned their... stuff?

Alexander McClain: Kind sir Benjamin! *almost everyone in the amphitheater turned their heads to me* Would you please enlighten us on the equation of the lambda corner in section tetra of the entropy codex? Or do you have something more... profound to teach us here? *Chuckles teasingly*

Pre-Upifting Soldier Boy: I... uuuh....
