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?"

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?"
no subject
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?
no subject
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.
no subject
Inside, there's something here that might be recognizable to some: weapons belonging to other heroes scattered across the area where they laid during a recent cycle. They've been untouched since they were last used that day.
Though, people might want to focus on the weapon as...
"WARNING! PLANETARY DESTRUCTION IN T-MINUS EIGHT MINUTES THIRTY SECONDS!"
There's various computers around, complicated for the more simple people, but someone like Ales might be able to work it easily and find the weapon systems.
no subject
"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.
no subject
"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?
no subject
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!"
no subject
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.

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."
no subject
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.
no subject
The bad(?) news?: Those notes are quite interesting.
They're from someone named Blair and what they say is... interesting.
They told of a plan by the Heroes of Light of that time to use this base as a means to end the Calamity their way - by obliterating the planet by the very superweapon they just shut down. It told of her allies, ones referred to as "the Librarian"and "Ganondorf", as they sought to protect her in case someone tried to attack them.
The notes continue, mentioning that they were indeed confronted by others - "Link" "Hylia", "Sophia" and "Faize" - in their attempts to stop them. They said their parts, but it seemed that Blair was adamant in proceeding with the plan.
The last set of notes, however, told of a change of heart - the risks were too great. She couldn't go through with it. There had to be another way to stop this. She shut down the power to the base to stop anyone from using it...
And it just stops. Whatever happened in the last notes, it seems that this Blair couldn't finish typing. Had the heroes who confronted them stopped her? Who could say?
"...well...I didn't expect that bit..." Twilight uttered, still a bit shocked.
no subject
"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."
no subject
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?"
no subject
"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.
no subject
Beyond the fallen weapons, there are two teleported nearby and an airlock. The portals lead to an "Eidolon Research" area, an "Proto-Eidolon Research" area and on reading as just "Danger"
no subject
[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.
no subject
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."
no subject
"Fine. Proto-Eidolon for me, too. We can learn more about Eidolons if we find out where they came from."
no subject
"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."
can handwave that anyone who went to Elicoor with Albel can remember Blair
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."
no subject
Heading towards the Proto-Eidolon Research room, the group is greeted with an amazing sight: a partially-completed Eidolon! An artificial one, to be exact! Who, or what, could have built such a thing and why was it abandoned?
It does look free for the taking, though!
(OoC: Congratulations - Project unlocked!)
no subject
[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.
no subject
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.
no subject
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.
