Questions and Answers

Who: Everyone
What: A big meeting of all the Heroes of Light to discuss what they have discovered so far
When: January 13th
Where: The Old Observatory
Notes: Feel free to post starts with questions and information, and all are free to threadjack other threads with questions and answers. The OOC/IC summary can be found here

[The tables and chairs are set. Dinner and dessert is laid out. There is no reason no one should be absent, Ales tells himself. A table is set aside with a large box beside it - the stage where Ales will announce the beginning of the meeting.

Once the room is full and everyone has sat down with their meal, he turns on his portable hacking computer, projecting a pale blue screen on the far wall. He flicks it off and on a few times.]


Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, may I have your attention please!

[He jumps onto the box, then onto the table. He then faces the audience with his hands held up and suppressing the reflex to grin broadly.]

With the Calamity ever looming closer, there is not much time left for our Heroes to act! A dark, ancient presence has long loomed over this world, and it is up to us to decide whether we will let it do as it pleases, throwing the entire land into chaos, or to stand up to the destructive force that has plagued Crystallis for Eons? With the knowledge we have found and been given, will finally succeed where others have failed? Are we better than what others believe us to be?

[A pause. Even though he has long ago switched his role from guide to actual hero, he still can't help but start off a gathering as if it were a story.]

The Hero of Light Roundtable will now begin! Please, go ahead and bring up points of discussion.

"So in theory, the Omega knowledge could be used to funnel the Calamity's energy through the Soul Divider and revitalize the First Crystal that way?"

Jade pauses, deep in thought.

"That might be compatible with what I had in mind. A scientist in my world built a system called the Planet Storm to move memory particles -- more or less the same thing as spiritual energy -- out of the planet's core, circulate them around the planet through the atmosphere, then absorb them back into the core."

A simplified explanation, but he doubts anyone here wants a lecture on fonons right now.

"Back home, this was used as an infinitely renewable energy source. Here, we could use the same principle to limit the amount of spiritual energy going through the planet at any given time. The amount of energy from the Calamity would be too massive for Crystallis to handle, but by keeping part of the flow outside the planet rather than inside... It should lessen the strain on the Soul Divider."

Jack nods eagerly when Jade catches his idea. But Jade has the exact same reservation that Jack does, and that Palitutu herself had pointed out: how do they do this without overloading and breaking the Soul Divider?

"Memory particles..." Spiritual energy, okay, but the idea is an appealing one, to Jack. Focus on the task at hand, Harkness. "That was the hope. Once the Calamity stops progressing, I'd assume we have as much time as we need to run it all through the Soul Divider. If you have to limit the load on the Soul Divider, but it slows down the total processing? We'd rather play this safe than fast."

"Reabsorb it all into the First Crystal so that it revitalizes itself. What happens to the rest? The energy we're talking about is the shattered remnants of these devoured timelines and dimensions. They're still lost in the equation?" Not a dealbreaker if they are, but leave it to Jack to be the one to ask.

"Could they be reconstructed? Or even... we know that the soul of prior Heroes are reincarnated here. Could the remains in the Calamity be brought into another world." Tazendra had been... upset to think at least one copy of her own world had been destroyed by the calamity, with only two souls spared to be reborn, one outside her proper species. But it was perhaps better than dissolution. And if many copies of her own world existed, then surely one could take the remains of another.
