SOnucus's Lab

"Nice place. I see you've kept the workspace clean."

"We've got to neutralize it. If it doesn't want to talk, that is." Carlinus clears an area and pops out a marker, then begins drawing. "My first thought, cap the leaks. My second thought, kill it. Energized Protodermis... dies as a solid, right?"

"Not good enough. It could recover. How about vaporizing it? Has anyone tried that? Vaporizing it and letting it settle back into liquid?"

"It's leaking all over. We can at least try."

He looks over his sketches. "Hm. What would prevent a pressure buildup, but still cap it off?"

"Gravity, check. These should be cake to build. Do you have elemental components here, or at least something gravity or sound-related?"

"Perfect." Carlinus runs to the cabinet and grabs parts, then steals from what Sonucus has lying around, manipulating anything to fit the design he needs.

SOnucus rushes to an instrument panel.
He looks at Carlinus.
"Suggestions?"

"They call themselves the Legion. Other then that I haven't the faintest idea."

A shadow in the corner of the room suddenly begins to writhe. A figure slowly forms, dragging itself out of the shadow, and into the room. Its form is oddly unsteady, flickering and distorting in ways that no organic body should really be able to. It kneels before Carlinus.

"Lord Carlinus, I am glad to see that you still live! I fear that Enryu is gone, but I suspect you already knew that."
