If we can condense the space the storm occupies down to a size small enough for us to contain and transport back into Existence, we can contain it reliably until the storm dissolves, and leaves behind what we are looking for. Without endangering anyone else.

@Multifarious

I can use relativistic methods to compress the space in my Zen Essence form.

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Not on my own. And, of course, feel free to offer up better ideas, but... I say we trap the storm.

@Multifarious

-Maddie- Whaaaaat?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Yes? Have something to share?

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

I believe it may be useful for you to be a temporary vessel for her upon extraction, but I also believe it may be possible... Yes, possible to acquire her without going into the storm.

@Multifarious

How so?

*Points to Ruby and then back at me*

@Nimda

-Ruby- Looks like Vex might be able to get her, all we have to do is keep her safe next. Can you help do that?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

*Nods quickly*

@Nimda

-Ruby- Okay! Why, can you interact with souls, too?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

*Jumps and waves several times*

@Nimda

-Ruby- Can you help us??

*Leans against the terminal*
Pulling something already so elusive as a soul out of anything is already really difficult. I don’t know if we can remove one from a storm such as this.

@Multifarious

You must study me or send me into the storm. I do not mean to be prideful, but my presence may be very fortuitous, as I have borne not one but two new souls, battled and interacted with them with no harm done to either, and freed them both into new bodies. I have a unique touch for souls.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

No no, nothing like that. I believe that the storm has torn her body to shreds and left no trace, but for some reason has trapped her very soul within. Perhaps a horrible fate, but should rescue be possible, a blessing in disguise. I’m not even sure a soul would survive traversal to an afterlife through the Outside, so she could have been doomed to nonexistence.

@Multifarious

-Ruby- How can we extract her soul?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

There’s a bit more to it than that, I feel. Assuming my readings have been entirely accurate until now, I believe I have a theory as to Violet’s fate.

@Multifarious

-Ruby- Has she become the storm??

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

The scans deny any signs of life being present, but-
*Points to the affirmative reading*
It reads the presence of consciousness.

@Multifarious

-Ruby- Whaaaat?
-I have room to temporarily house a consciousness, as both Spectre and Wraith have separated from me completely. I only offer this as an option if it becomes necessary.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

No, not in what I included. It was a number of scanners, and I rigged it up to kind of cheat the unpredictability of getting readings in the storm. At least hopefully. The fact that results are returning at all is good, but-
*One singular reading changes to affirmative and I stop and look at it silently*

@Multifarious

-Ruby- *Leans over to look at it*
