Inharax draws up the designs for a new tank that can be both manned and unmanned. It is equipped with two of the machine-railguns of the interceptors in the front hull, and in the turret is an automatic Stone Launcher. The main gun itself is like the old Brotherhood turret, capable of firing plasma, electricity, stone, or metal projectiles. All the guns are equipped with Accuracy.
Instead of treads, the new tank has sloped-off armor and hovers using multiple Crasts in the lower hull along with Crasts in the back, though Plasma engines can be engaged for higher velocities. The tank also contains all the previous functions of Brotherhood tanks, plus Kiril abilities. Like the Manas, it is capable of permanently copying a power using against it, though this is specific to the tank and not transferable between units.
Command tanks are equipped with Olmak, and a Nui Blaster is used instead of a Stone Launcher.
All tanks are airtight to allow for travel in oxygen-deprived areas, though for obvious reasons AI tanks do not even have a hatch. The hollow space in these tanks is instead completely replaced by armor surrounding the vulnerable computer.

Inharax is back, and he immediately begins creating a strange form of Visorak with an even stranger webbing. It affects GSR shell, but no other material, turning it to a form of flammable putty.
The shadows throughout the room grow significantly darker as Charix's shadowy essence springs forth inside one particular shadow towards the back of the room. Once inside, the featureless shadow phantom form Charix used to use quite often assimilates without a sound and rises out of the shadow. Operating under illusion powers to make the room appear empty, Charix begins creeping around, eyeing every piece of technology he can find. In particular, Charix is seeking records, instructions, and formulas on current Brother-Hood activities (What the Brother-Hood has been doing) and technology (such as how Manas and other modern Brother-Hood tech were developed).

@keplers.
Hey Keps, Charix is currently scouring Inharax's lab for any plans or notes related to Manas in an effort to discover how they operate (what gives them their powers and such). Will he find anything?
Charix is contacted by multiple beings for a multitude of different reasons. He responds promptly but gives most of his attention to a particular, developing situation.
He continues, however, searching for plans to the Manas. If unable to find them here, he retreats to the shadows, and, traveling through the shadow zone, begins popping in and out of shadows throughout Destral searching for something Manas related. While he is doing this, he sends a mental message.

Charix should suddenly feel a gentle, repetitive ping against the defenses of his mind. It is not violent or abrupt, but rather slow and weak. Almost immediately after detecting this, the presence of another--and notably enormous--mind can be felt. It seems to be some kind of "knocking", as if requesting permission to even relay a worded message.

Charix pauses, and quickly causes most of his body to collapse into a shadowy form which then retreats into the shadow zone. The Matoran sized and armored part of Charix that is left behind in the room cautiously signals its permission to communicate with the mind. Charix, now physically scattered throughout several locations around Destral, keeps an especially careful grip on his mind at this moment.

A cold, hollow voice enters Charix's mind. It is incredibly strong, as if this being were standing in the room and speaking to the Makuta in person.
Charix only!! "You are none other than Makuta Charix. It is fortunate that Makuta of your stature have not yet completely faded from the world, as poor Makuta Karunax was led to believe. I am The Anonymous, an ally of the Brotherhood. Or rather, an ally of the Brotherhood's lost ideals. For reference, it was I who rescued Makuta Karunax from the scourge known as Pain some time ago. As for my speaking to you, I trust that you would supply more honest information than the likes of Inharax. Now, what is this rift among the Brotherhood ranks? I recall this organization's integrity being somewhat more sturdy the last I paid visit."

As a result of the alarm, Charix's form dissolves into a mess of shadow which retreats to the Shadow Zone.
His mind however, retains contact with the Anonymus, and the Anonymus can perceive that Charix seems to be extending his mind through a few shadows in the room.
Anonymus only! Charix replies. No emotions can be detected in his words.
"Yes. I will inform you, if only because you did us a great service by helping our leader. The problem is simple. Our Grand Brother Makuta Karunax vanished and Inharax took control. Our ranks are now filled with Makuta who possess no knowledge of the past, and are pawns of Inharax. When I returned, Inharax sought me out in an effort to smash me and prevent me from returning to Destral. In my absence he has fostered a culture of paranoia, where Makuta who do not worship him are labeled rogue, and hunted. I trust you can understand how this has affected the organization's integrity.
OOC: Did Charix find what he was looking for as per my previous posts?
OOC: My apologies. While he does find the original schematics for the Manas, the ship is horribly outdated and requires a metal no longer existent on Spherus Magna: parts of the shell from the Great Spirit Robot. The only other design present is that of the new tank (top of this page). He would discover that the majority of the Manas powers came from Xian technology that the Brotherhood at the time could not replicate (the designs thus amount to "place device here" rather than an actual blueprint of the device), while the rest were Kanoka-based.
IC: Inharax himself teleports into the room, and beams of Elemental Light focus from crystals in the room, striking the place where the shadow last was. Though Charix is gone, Inharax knows only one individual who would use such a method.
"You continue intruding?"

IC: Charix responds mentally.
"Someone has to preserve what remains of this organization. I will continue to intrude upon your affairs until the Brother-Hood is properly established in this world. You made a mistake, Inharax. You sided with Talin of Atero-Nui and became universally despised. You and I both know the Brother-Hood, in its current state, can't survive an open war with Xia and their allies, and yet, at this moment I hear they are preparing to come out against you."

Is it so? In this case, they have made a fatal error. I have plans in place the likes of which Xia has never conceived...The conflict will be short, and there will be one survivor.

Jammers, Keps only! "We shall see. Coincidently Inharax, if you follow my instructions we will not just possess Atero, but we will also possess the eternal gratitude of the matoran and gain their allegiance. "

IC: Interestingly, or perhaps even redundantly, The Anonymous's words are equally as hollow.
"It is a shame that Makuta Karunax's dream of a glorified and united Brotherhood might never be seen. He fell away from this organization's ghostly shell, you know. Pursued me in search of a power that I unfortunately no longer have, one that would allow him to rebuild the Brotherhood's golden age by force. Karunax was never comfortable in the position of supreme leadership, and overwhelmed by the influx of conflict among the Makuta, he doubtlessly fell short as an effective leader. But he knew what was needed for his brothers and sisters to succeed."
He pauses for a bit.
"I could not stop him. I am not capable of retrieving the power he sought, and his loneliness merged with his impatience and rage, driving away his sense of purpose. Upon learning that his greatest adversary... The Composer... had returned to this world and is now aiding the expansion of a Xian empire, Karunax stormed the industrial city at its gates in a fit of hollow madness.
Xia proved its newfound might, and slaughtered Makuta Karunax before he could enter.
This is the information I sought to bring to you if you were still active on this world. It was of greatest importance that you received and understood where it leads to. Now more than ever, the Brotherhood faces certain extinction... if it does not destroy itself first, Xia will proudly finish the job. No amount of hired pawns, war machines, and manipulated Makuta will bring glory back to your race.
Makuta Charix, the duty falls to you to raise Karunax's legacy from the dust. Through you, his dream might still be realized."

"Our enemies collaborate together, the world is in dire need of stability, and the future grows dimmer with every passing hour. I cannot hope to defeat The Composer on my own, nor can the shambles of the Brotherhood hope to defeat Xia in the current state of things. If it helps to solidify a stronger acquaintance, I will pledge an oath.
For as long as it takes to secure the future, I will loan the Brotherhood my strength. Should I ever be needed I will appear, and my actions will never diminish the Brotherhood. My sword will bleed your enemies, and my shield will repel their transgression. My word is steadfast, my intent incorruptible."

"Good. Inharax is a lost cause; he has driven the Brother-Hood into the ground and is guilty of creating this situation. I am of the opinion that the only way forward is for the Brother-Hood to begin anew. This world cries out against Inharax and his deeds, as is evidenced by the Matoran resistance to retake their city. Why should I allow Xia to become the hero? Why let Xia become the champion of the world? Is not this the perfect environment for re establishing the Brother-Hood under a new banner? I intend to publicly present myself and my forces as the true Brother-Hood and come out in defense and support of the Matoran and their allies in their war against Inharax. Makuta were, and should always be considered the true defenders of the matoran and the primary stabilizing force in the world. Inharax has completely tarnished that narrative, and the situation he has created provides me the perfect opportunity to re-construct the Brother-Hood in its true image. The oath you made was to the Brother-Hood, and we both now that the true spirit of that Brother-Hood no longer exists in Inharax's organization."
