Player Plot: No Bananas On The Moon

Who: Twilight Sparkle and those who expressed interest in going
What: After months of waiting, it's time to investigate what's on the Lunar Base!
Where: Starting on the Lunar Gate and continuing into the Lunar Base
When: forward-dated to 11/23
Warnings: None just yet.

It was finally time. After months of working, delays, in-fighting and all of that wonderful stuff, it was time to investigate the Lunar Base. To be quite fair, if anyone was excited for this, Twilight was. After gathering another group to join her, they all gathered at the Lunar Gate back in the Continent of Ruin. Alongside Twilight's other equipment, she sported a large airhorn. She was going to put some Heroes in their place with them.

"Alright, everyone, it's time we finally figure out what's up on the Moon." Twilight said. "I'm going to admit, I'm very excited for this - I've never been in space before." She let out a sigh. "I do want to put down one little bit of ground rule here: no fighting. We've spent so much time fighting with each other that it's time we put a stop to it. Unless you have a very good reason to object to something happening, I suggest not trying anything. We don't know what we're going to encounter up there and having a crisis of conscience if something needs to happen is something we don't need. Especially since it's space."

Straightening herself up, she smiled at the others. "Now, you guys ready to get going?"

Sheena turned to the pony and gave a wry chuckle. "If this happened before, at least we know why they didn't leave any notes." Too busy panicking.

At Santa's suggestion, the ninja began a methodical search, starting from the back of the machine and running her hand slowly along the wall.

"I'm not finding anything yet. Anyone else?"

And Albel had just managed to get a suit over his gauntlet without it tearing. The rest of it, of course, was a bit over-sized to compensate, but he wasn't about to take the armor off.

He grumbled, walking in on the others searching for a way to disarm the laser. "This is not what I meant when I wished it was more interesting here." He gestured toward Ales, recognizing his screen. "Do you see anything?
umslay: (oh dear)

The screen scrolls downward, Ales' eyes flicking over the symbols. Commands to turn on the laser lead to functions dictating the trigger, leading to strings of numbers and characters. A quick review shows that they correspond to servers, fortunately named after their location.

He bites his lip until he reaches the final destination of his network map reading.

"The Command Center! The trigger to shut it off is in there!" He turns to the other Heroes in the room.

Santa's pretty fast, even in the space suit, so it doesn't take him long to cross the tunnel and get to the Control Room. He keeps the computer open for somebody more qualified to get to.

"If you can't stop it in time, we can use these weapons and wreck the console." It's a last-ditch effort, but if the hacking doesn't work and the weapon's gonna blow up the world anyway, they might as well try.

Sheena's almost right behind him, her eyes narrowing as she scans the room. Using the weapons isn't a bad idea, but that may cause other problems.

"If we do that, we may not be able to get out of here," she said. "But, there may be one computer that's a little more active than the others right now. Like maybe with a warning light or message or something like that on it."

Flashing red light, anyone?
wickedone: (let's go!)

[personal profile] wickedone 2016-12-18 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
"Let's go," Albel grunted, physically grabbing the most useful person in the room -- Ales. If Ales could make sense of these machines, he was everyone's best hope. So Albel hoisted the teensie up under his arm and ran through the tunnel.

While Albel usually defaulted to violence, he remembered enough of Earth's Moonbase to strongly doubt destroying a machine would help. More than likely, it would make things worse. Besides, the weapons were strewn about haphazardly, apparently unused. And Crystallis still existed. So the other Heroes must have figured out something!

"Don't break anything! Then we'll never disable it!"
umslay: (surprise)

[personal profile] umslay 2016-12-18 02:34 pm (UTC)(link)
There was little room in the spacesuit for Ales to flail around. His visor pointed downwards, giving him solely the view of the floor rushing behind him and a glimpse of Albel's feet.

When they reached the room, Ales fidgeted in an attempt to slide out of Albel's arms. He fell to the floor with a soft thump inaudible over the sound of the siren.

"Not until I say so!" Breaking computers is a viable technique, but only when all other avenues are exhausting. Plus, breaking precious technology is a sin in Ales' eyes. He ran over to the main terminal, booted up his hacking device once more, and searched through the code.
umslay: (oh dear)

[personal profile] umslay 2016-12-22 05:28 pm (UTC)(link)
...English.

Ales takes in a deep breath and goes through the motions of shutting down this weapon. The other things look interesting, which he'll go over in detail later. Each shaky press of the button comes closer to saving their lives and prevent another Teensie death by exploding.

Once he's certain the system won't boot up again, he turns to the other Heroes.

"A little help here with translation? I found some notes in the code I can't read."
scriptrix: (curious)

[personal profile] scriptrix 2016-12-23 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh! Yeah, hang on."

Levy heads over to where Ales is perched at the console, looking over the English notes. She'll read whatever she finds there out loud for the benefit of the group.
21stcenturyguy: (surprised)

[personal profile] 21stcenturyguy 2016-12-24 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
Aoi whistled as Levy read the notes. He didn't know any of the people from the story, but he recognized an averted apocalypse when he saw one. That had been a close call. In parallel universes, they might have just ended everything.

"So, any chance we can turn this weapon, like, toward space or somewhere where it won't destroy the world if somebody accidentally trips the switch again? I vote for doin' that."

Sheena looked up from the computer she was examining when Albel came in, visibly wincing as Ales was unceremoniously dropped to the floor. Shaking her head, she stepped to the side as the Teensie hooked up to the computer, her head tilting as she watched him work.

Once he was finished, she breathed a sigh of relief. Well, that was one thing down. But now, they had something a little more interesting on their hands. And possibly the reason why Palitutu claimed they didn't have what it took to end the Calamity.

Brows furrowing, she looked in the direction they had come, an idea occurring to her.

"Think it might be possible to use this thing at a lower power level to give the First Crystal some energy?"
umslay: (oh dear)

[personal profile] umslay 2016-12-29 07:47 pm (UTC)(link)
A light flickered across Ales' eyes at Ganondorf's name. He spoke to that man nearly a year ago when he arrived with the Mysidian Heroes, and the name "Link" was much more familiar. But it couldn't be the same people. It have to be--

"The last cycle. Does anyone else have memories of this place?" Following Sheena's suggested, he ran through the code once more in search of a power level adjuster parameter. If that weren't possible, he could always write the code in.

Eidolon Research, Proto-Eidolon Research, and Danger.

[Levy repeats the words on the signs for the group, looking to each of the teleporters in turn.]

I've had enough danger for now, so maybe let's check out one of the research areas.

Akane at last toddles up to the group in her space suit, bearing mysterious coffee stains. It's not as if she lagged behind because the spilling of her coffee just so happened to coincide with the warning lights that went off, making her think that it was all her fault somehow.

Logically that made no sense, but she only got a few sips of coffee and the coincidence was too much for her weary brain to bear. She was so tired, you guys.

Still there was nothing to get the adrenaline glands pumping like a threat of planetary destruction, so she was a little more on her game now. "'Proto' means 'original' in Latin. That might indicate that some changes were made to existing Eidolons," she theorized, growing very curious. Now she wished she'd equipped her Summoner job instead of Magitek Knight. "Shall we split up? I'd very much like to see the Proto-Eidolon research room."
21stcenturyguy: (eyebrow raise)

[personal profile] 21stcenturyguy 2017-01-01 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
"I dunno, 'Danger Room' sounds kinda badass." Grumbling aside, Santa followed behind Akane. He raised an eyebrow at the coffee stains.

"Fine. Proto-Eidolon for me, too. We can learn more about Eidolons if we find out where they came from."
umslay: (thinking)

[personal profile] umslay 2017-01-02 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
Adjusting the power parameters would take more work, as well as a return to the facility with other Hackers. For now, he turned the weapon to point a bit above the planet. If an invader came from outer space, they'd be ready to blast it into smithereens.

"Let's go from Proto-Eidolon to Eidolon. I'm not one to care about these creatures, but you might need help accessing the data."
wickedone: (disbelief)

can handwave that anyone who went to Elicoor with Albel can remember Blair

[personal profile] wickedone 2017-01-02 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
Albel had been quiet as the notes were read. Stewing, really, if anyone looked. Blair... What were the odds it was Blair Lansfeld? At the mention of Sophia, Albel was convinced. It had to be her.

And he wasn't surprised at all that she was at least partially responsible for this monstrosity.

He grit his teeth and stalked over to the Proto-Eidolon door. "Let's just go."
scriptrix: (worried)

[personal profile] scriptrix 2017-01-02 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
Whoa...

[Levy's voice is breathy with awe as she stares up at the magnificent creature.]

They actually built an Eidolon? Or I guess... mostly built.
ninjainviolet: ([Sad Understanding])

[personal profile] ninjainviolet 2017-01-02 08:02 am (UTC)(link)
Sheena looked from the list to Akane when she spoke. The ninja did have her Summoner job equipped, but that wasn't why she was instantly curious about the Eidolons or what came before.

It was because of her own history, of course. Before she could say anything, however, Albel reacted to the name "Blair". "Albel, wait..." But he was gone. With a sigh, she turned to Twilight. "It's a long story, but there was someone named 'Blair' back on his world who worked for someone who didn't think Albel and others should exist." It was a simple explanation, but it definitely said enough. "Do we have that person's last name? It might not even be her."

Following the others, she stopped dead in her tracks when she saw the artificial Eidolon being created. Anyone close by would see a a mix of emotions in her eyes as she stepped forward--the least of which was sadness.

"Corrine," she said softly, reaching a hand out towards the Eidolon.

Akane prowled around the half-assembled Eidolon, knuckling her thin thoughtfully, the wrinkle in her brow deepening. The Eidolons were so strange looking, that she couldn't be 100% sure it wasn't completed. But there were several hints and indications. "This doesn't make sense." She shook her head before looking around the room, searching for files, a computer, anything that might give her more clues. "They were created by the Ancients? But they can speak and think and feel..."

Her gaze traveled to Aoi and she frowned with a quiet nod. There were a lot of questions in her mind. How could these creatures be given life? How had the Calamity managed to corrupt them? And how did this factor into Garland's fear?

"We need to see the other room," she abruptly decided, racing out of the room and down the hallway.
