<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

*You meet heavy resistance in restraining it in combination with an unfathomably strong degrading force eating away at your arm the instant it crosses the storm’s boundary*

@Multifarious

*Analyses the soul as much as I can in the extra moments—due to the slow-time—that I have before I let go, including its stability, wholeness, and harms, and then I extract my grip and heal myself^

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

Remember, the space around it will be easier to manipulate! Within the storm itself you might encounter resistance to your efforts!

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

If the thing giving the radio signal is the soul, it should be approaching an edge now!
*A light blue light immediately becomes visible for a moment at the edge of a storm, like a fish nearing the surface of deep water*

@Multifarious

*I immediately stop in front of it and attempt to reach for it and grasp it in a soul grip*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

*One of the duplicates places her hand against the barrier and is sucked Outside—half of the remaining duplicates and eyes stop and look where she was*

@Nimda

-Maddie- Woah, what happened?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

*Before long, the entirety of the space it occupies is surrounded by normal space and then some, and I reemerge from the cockpit with the sphere from a moment ago*
Our goal is to get it into this. Can you manage shrinking the space down to that degree?

@Multifarious

*Breathes in deeply and breathes out a swirling mist of light and shadow; the light flows out of my body and my eyes darken* This will be the greatest test of my new ability--but I believe I can.

*The tendrils from my coat thread down to the machine and act as the conduits for my energy as I rise into the air; the ship becomes translucent so that we all look into the storm; I stretch out my arms to either side of me and a brilliant white aura forms around my body, brightest across my arms* Bend. *The storm begins to slow in turning as its flow of time and space lengthen and it starts to contract*

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

*Duplicates of myself pop in and out around the ship along with several disembodied bloodshot eyes with red irises*

@Nimda

*I look toward one of you sharply* Go. My soul will follow you. *Light pulses from my chest and shoots into the space around the storm, leaving a trail of light as it runs around the storm in rings, searching for any trace of Violet's soul*

*Heads back into the cockpit*
Alright, I’m preparing to increase Spacial Displacement output in 3... 2... 1... Now.
*The bubble if space around the ship begins to increase rapidly, and it doesn’t take long before the machine begins to buzz from the stress*

@Multifarious

-Ruby- *Mist billows from my mouth and flows over the machine as I fortify all of its internal mechanisms and stabilise its movement to normal levels*
-*Pours power into the machine*
-Maddie- *Another me outside of the ship pulls large amounts of Existential space into the area, joining it with the machine's output and significantly reducing the work needed to create the space*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

No need. And it sounds to me like you lot all have just the right compatibility to run this smoothly with each other, so I trust that you can get it done.
*Digs through the equipment and pulls out a metal ball with glass “windows”, apparently an empty container, and analyze it for a moment*
This should suffice for the temporary period it is needed.

@Multifarious

-Ruby- Then let's do it!
-Maddie- *Quickly analyses the mechanism and uses my access to Existence to get ready to gather up dimensional space*
-*Brings Maddie, the device, and me down from the roof and closes the hatch; I go to the mechanism*
-Maddie- *Shows Spirit where to input power*
-*Gets ready*
-Ruby- *Analyses the device with my magic and prepares to stabilise it*

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

*Nods*

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

*The air becomes tinted blue and five more of me appear, all giving you a thumbs-up*

@Nimda

Once Existence surrounds the storm and I begin to shrink it, safely go around it and attempt to detect the soul from various places. I will send out my awareness to do the same.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

That could work as well. Realistically, all we’d need to do is forcefully keep the mechanism stable while it puts out to such a degree. And mind our power supply for the ship, of course.

@Multifarious

Should I run this device any longer? I can pour any necessary amount of energy into the mechanism.
-Ruby- I can keep it stable for sure!
-Maddie- And I can help wrap Existential space around the storm!

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

*Gives you two thumbs up*

@Nimda

Misty, can you work with me to locate the soul while we are in this process so that we can keep it stable?

Myriad Reality

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

We’d have to increase the output of the mechanism on the ship doing it for our safety to well beyond capacity.

@Multifarious

-Maddie- If I look at how it's being done on the ship, I might be able to bring in a bunch of Existence space, myself, and help the machine!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

In order to give your reality altering abilities full control over the area, we’ll need to encompass the storm in space like us. Outside interference may make the task troublesome otherwise.

@Multifarious

How can we do that?
