Light soon arrives to her home, leaving it open as she quickly runs to her room and takes off all of her clothing. In the glowing blurr she then runs out of her bedroom and moves quickly towards the bathroom. Damn Tania telling her it was going to be short little mission, now a bit more behind schedule light then closes the bathroom door and quickly turns on the hot water to fill up the tub to jump in and relax for the bit of time that she has.
"Oh my, I got to hurry up." As the foxy continued to clean herself off from the blood and some of the dirt that was on her fur before she just jumped out and grabbed a towel. 'Squish' of her feet as she opened the bathroom door, toweling herself down as much as she could before the onset of a 'poof!' from her fur being cleaned so quickly. "Not enough time!" She started to freak out, grabbing a brush and then combs herself the best she can. Even some of the tails assist her and grab some brushes as she stands up and then gets thorougly cleaned, grabbing her clothes again and repairing them with the nanites and getting back into them. Light sighed, heading out of her bedroom and into the kitchen, grabbing some horderves she had bought a couple hours earlier along with some drinks she had to find on her own, placing them on the table and then relaxes. "Alright, everything is basically done." She walks into her kitchen again and pulls out the gourd that was given to earlier by Hisoka, opening it up and taking a drink from it. Closing it and putting it away out of sight from anyone.
Astara knocks briefly on the door before entering, ducking through the doorway with a smile on her face. "Hey, Light! I'm here!" She goes over to the living room, and sits herself to the right of the main couch on the floor.
Hisoka soon arrives holding hands with his mate, Nayru. Finding the door open he knocks on the wall instead. "Hey Light, Nayru and me are here." Then he goed in with her. Finding Astara already there, he gives her a smile and proceeds to sit down the couch with Nayru. He lets go of her hand for a moment and proceeds to drape an arm around her. Then leans gently on her. "Hello Astara, Light." He greets them with a warm smile.
Ferus seeing crowded already gathering steps up beside the door frame, and give in a knock. Then fusses with a slightly dirt towel towel she had draped over her tauric back. "Evening Hisoka, Nayru, Astara, Light. So, Light. Got a place I can throw this so it doesn't get dirt everywhere. I got lazy taking in the sight on the river and lost track of time?"
Sleek, tall and garbed in his stylish attire, all the while toting hes new bandoleers, Otto took one final look at himself from the display of his wrist-mounted console. A camera feed coming from a tiny spherical drone circling his person gave him all the information he needed. Fur smooth and shaded onyx, tucked beneath a tux of black, neatly cleaned and devoid of imperfection, covering his new athletic physique, accentuated by a stoic stance and a confident gleam in his eye, yes indeed. "Let's see what miss Ishida paged about, J-N 318b." he states and holds out one paw, as the drone neatly flies in and tucks itself into a sphere, only to be put away in one of Otto's jacket pockets.
The bunny felt around to ensure his possessions were all secured, folded down hismears and stepped forward towards the main door to the residence of the lady in question. He had just caught two of his colleagues entering so, he passed through the door right after them! Nodding politely in greeting, the bunny leans against one of the walls, crosses one leg over the other and starts to fiddle with his wrist-mounted console.
Light ears fully perked up as she watched everyone come in and soon one by one they all did. "Astara, Hisoka, Nayru, Ferus, Otto." She said when she was comming out of the kitchen a bit more accustomed towards the group. She was still in her casual wear but her fur coat was a bit more brilliant this evening after taking the shower she long needed and deserved throughout the day. "I'm glad that everyone could ma-." She pauses for a second and takes a peek out the door to make sure this was everyone for a moment. She then sighed some. "No matter, I guess this will suffice..." her tails close the door before she locks it it. "Here have a drink, food! All on me, and we will head to the living room to talk." She grins as she takes a small glass of wine herself and walks over towards the living room.
"...And that's why I have a fear of living dolls." Nayru finished explaining to Hisoka when they entered Light's apartment. Her smaller hand intertwined with Hisoka's bigger one as she was led to the couch. "Hey Light. Hey Astara." She told the two already in there with a curt nod while taking a seat. Feeling slightly crushed when Hisoka leaned onto her though, she stood up and left the couch. Seeking somewhere with a bit more room to stand. Giving a curt nod in greeting to Otto and Ferus as they arrived.
Hisoka gets up and follows Light to the living room. He didn't pick anything to eat at that moment though. Rather then doing that he grabs some of the wine and drinks from it. As he goes into the living room he comments to no one in particular, "Has someone seen Laurel? I haven't seen her in a bit. Kind of worried about it. I asked and last day they saw her was on Saturday. But I personally haven't seen her."
Astara gave a casual wave to everyone as they flowed over to the living room. "Hey everyone! Glad to see you all again, let alone all in one place!" She frowns a little as Hisoka talks. "No, alas, I have not."
Otto's attention immediately snaps onto Light as she enters the room. He leans away from the wall and waves the offer off "None for me, but thank you." then tucks his paws into his pockets. His eyes wander around the room, taking in and appreciating how neat and tidy it was. While beige was not his color, his large bunny feet did appreciate the plushness of the rug. The follicles tickles his soles and tucked between his toes, reminding him of the benefits of wearing shoes. He couldn't help but whistle as he appraised the tech in the room. That TV on its own, assuming it was still functional, must have cost a bundle! His paws felt around the inside of his pocket for the familear shape of his valued utility, a small metalic flask, filled with what seemed to be a viscous red liquid once he took a quick sip. The bitterness of the fluid was something he would never get used to, and it showed, as a visible cringe shakes his form as the fluid drained into his gullet. "Blah..." he exclaims and grimmaces lightly, before putting it away into his pocket.
With light footfall did he enter the living room, ears picking up in the dragon's question. "Not a trace. I tried to comm her about her project too. No response." e shrugs and looks around the room.
Ferus sighs self confidently clean, rolls up her towel so the clean side is facing out, and deposits it just inside the front door. Finding a open spot on the carpet, the amber taur first sits, then lays down, and then rolls on her side. Proper her upper torso up on arms outstretched behind her "I finished off what I packed before coming over," she says shaking her head slowly at Light, "I may take you up on a bottle of water for later, but I ate already thank you."
Ferus just relaxes, her raising into a curl and softly laying setting back down on the carpet. The margay just quietly watching with a slight smile as everyone finds their places and settle in people settles in.
Nayru shook her head no. "Sadly I haven't." She said as she went to grab some refreshments. A small frown forming on her face out of worry. With a small sigh she followed everyone else into the living room, waiting for the meeting to officially begin.
"Hey Nayru, Otto, how're you two since our little mission at the firehouse?" Astara inquires as the two bunnies enter the room. "You two sure were lucky you could control your breathing... but I suppose we were all lucky those wolves were, uh. /Competitive/."
Light frowns a bit as she didn't hear anything else from the missing canary of the bunch of member that shes with, setting her glass down on the table. "Alright, everyone. Thank you for coming to the meeting today." Before her ears perked up a bit more surprised that she hears about something that Astara, Otto and Nayru did. She then shook her hea dright back on track as she then looked towards everyone. "Alright so like before how there was the emergency meeting about the Extradimensional Generator, I'm gonna elaborate some more on that and what they actually want to truely acheive in their goals." She pauses for a moment. "I was also able to trace some of the researchers to this and the prior research before the generator was concieved as a research idea."
"Hey Astara. Ah, that." he scratches himself behind the neck "Honestly? I expected more trouble. The breath holding is a byproduct of my undersea ventures as an otter, but it comes in handy." he shrugs, speaking calmly and clearly "Though, it does render one mute, so that's an issue. I trrust you are alright?" he quirks and eyebrow as his features soften. "That was uhhh, quite the trick you pulled with those wol..." he immediately snaps his attention towards Light as she begins speaking.
He pulls up a chair and takes a seat, ears perked right up as he drinks in every word the kitsune speaks. "Extradimensional Generators." he repeats and leans back, covering his face with one paw as he struggles to recall what little he'd scraped up about them. Soon, his paws met atop the table as he crossed his legs and made himself comfortable, the entirety of his attention directed at the kitsune.
Ferus purrs, "I don't think I ever met Laurel.", answers with a sigh and sags back just a little without further comment. "
"Yeah. I rather not think about what we would have to do if they didn't start fighting amongst each other like that." Nayru agreed with a small shiver running down her spine. The lop-eared bunny then looked over at Light as she began. The frown on her face growing when the subject of the meeting was revealed.
Hisoka lets Light talk. Though he was very aware of all this. He takes a seat and drinks some more of the wine. "I picked up a bit of more intel on the prime subject of this research. But we will get to that in a moment. As it stands it seems I took the spot for second leader of this research. Furthermore I haven't noticed a lot of researchers or a lot of support on this project. So there is that."
Astara puts a hand up to her chin, her eyes narrowing a little as Light talks. "Extradimensional... generator?" she mumbles, most likely thinking out-loud.
"Yeah the current situation is that there isn't alot of researchers and Hisoka is currently the second leader so we have our man on the inside." She stands on her toes for a second all excited about the little bit of good news that has been going on. "And now back on the subject of how is spear heading the research, I checked in with the archives for other inqueries that revolved around this generator and there was a extra dimensional survey." She hums up a bit before hearing Astara. "Ah yes, where is my mind at the moment. So the basic information is that Extradimensional Generator wants to use extraplanar energy to have a infinite amount of powers. Though to be even more defined about that..." Light sighs real quick before she takes her comm and plugs it into the TV with unique chord, soon then the tv turns on and shows a recording of the Inari Shrine, then Hidden Forest. "The prior research was developed so they could look around points, somewhere inside of the dedication points. This research wants to use the dedication points as a nexus to where they could tap into and use for a infinite font of energy."
Ferus snorts, "So? Let them poke the tiger. A toothless tiger dies of starvation." The taur's whole bosy rises and falls with a huff, "The second they get close or go online their going to have a personal lesson in how god like godlike beings are."
Hisoka sighs a little "No Ferus. That's not an issue we can just let slide. I mean if we could? Sure. But the problem is we can't. At the very least if they utterly fail, these energies can destroy us all. As wipe this planet. Assume they pull it off. All manners of unforseen consequences can happen. Such as weakening the dimensional barriers. All that stuff that would put us in a bad, bad, very bad position."
Nayru pursed her lip as she took a seat. Not at all liking what she was hearing. "So we can't risk this getting off the ground then? Is that what I'm understanding correctly?"
Otto's brow furrowed more and more as he listened, though never quite descending into a frown, more a glance of disapproval. "I'm sure the locals would be thrilled to have their sacred temples overrun with folks in labcoats, installing equipment left and right..." he comments, then looks towards Ferus. "My colleague also makes a point, a crudely stated point but a point nonetheless. It is said that a sentient species can progress only as far as the energy they can produce and consume permits, and in a way, should this technology prove applicable and fruitful, that would be most excellent." he admits, but resumes "But consider the costs, and the implictions, in the event it fails. The masses are already divided, and adding the looming threat of a potentially bomblike tech installed in most, if not all the shrines and then coming out flat... well." he shrugs and shakes his head. "I'd rather not have the Kaiju come tear Fairhaven apart, if the technology doesn't do it first."
As Light explained, Astara grew more and more aghast. "Sounds like the antimatter tech from the sci-fi of yesterday, really. Both in the energy it could generate, as well as the absolute destruction." She sighed. "Besides from just the energy itself having the potential to be destructive, you're all right; the deities are NOT just going to sit and be used for others' gain. I know Inari won't; having spent 7 years being as one of Her most faithful servants in this realm, I have rather close relationship to Her..." She just stopped talking, closing her eyes and rubbing her temples.
Light's face shows a grim despair thinking about the all of the deities and dedicants that would revolt about this with all of the masses divided, even Zephyr would be torn down from this if it was a failure from the beginning. "You all are right, with that bit of unnerving equipment now being created." She pauses for a moment. "Though they still have a long way to go in order to create this such a thing, and all of the dedicants... would likely go against this else zephyr would lock away their shrines and no one would be able to dedicate again without an additional fee from zephyr just so that the generators pay for themselves." She hums some more with the bigger information on her head. "Though with the preliminary research proves that they deities did come over here for the search of the special grade nanines or Mako, Zephyr now finds this as a way to exploit the gods themself." She coughs spitting out as much information as she could. "Though now when digging into the matter, one researcher is on both the generator and preliminary."
Ferus shrugs, "So go find a friendly power or let the unfriendly one know it's about to be attacked. They have more toys, bigger toys, the know how to defend their turf, and are far more motivated to defend their home then we are. Besides if the world was that easy to break those same extra dimension things never would have been thrown out or smashed it flat into tinier bits then even the nanites could dream long ago the moment one threw a tantrum."
Hisoka rubs his temples "Yeah... But like Otto clearly pointed out, we will very possibly find ourselves at the end of the hammer. Okay so here is what might happen." He pauses and drinks some of the wine "Normally extraplanar beings don't seem to be able to play well in our realm. Apparently they lose their major powers if they cross." He frowns a little "Obviously this would change, if say some kind of energy would start to weaken the separation between realms. Then in that scenario they wouldn't have to worry about their powers fading." He grinaces as he thinks more and more on this "Then you have some gods that don't like each other. Like say Odin and Loki. Or what have you. The end result is quite possibly a war between these beings. But that's one scenario. There could be many more likely scenarios. This thing... This generator... has more energy and power then a nuclear bomb. So basically we have something of that magnitude over here, something can happen." He pauses and takes a deep breath. "Now let's assume everything works. Then you have the problem one Faction would have an inmense amount of power. Who is going to stop it from say putting up an orbital strike system? It can happen. Anyway I see it, this is bad news." He looks at Light and then everyone else. "We have to do something about it."
"A researcher never dismisses an idea until it is clearly laid out before him, and right now the concept of tapping into ANYTHING near the shrines or temples is, as Light just confirmed, not worth considering." he states calmly, then brought one paw up to rub his chin. "In the event that an alternative, SAFE variant of applying this technology is found, perhaps then your research would garner more attention, and recieve the support it needs." he declares firmly "Until then, and until all the unanswered questions have been dealt with, THEN discussions regarding the practical application can commense, which is when most dedicated researchers tend to show the most interest. A floaty idea is naught but a pipe dream, and a skeptical scientifically minded person is naturally not drawn to such things, myself included when I was approached to assist that research. To be honest, it all seems like one of Zephyr's vanity projects, rather than a practical solution to a problem." he states firmly, stonefaced as ever. "On the subject of power, there is none! At least not in less populated areas, and even the city! Folks have to cash out vast sums of freecreds for mini-servers with electric nanomagic, just because they can't connect to the already limited ever decaying power grid. Not to mention the waste it produces, such a tech would need maintainance and demand exotic materials, possibly toxic." a short sigh escapes him "HOWEVER, I am currently leading the research for nanite solar collection panels, along with 6 other bright minds. The project is nearing completion, and our hopes are to produce a lightweight, affordable, eco-friendly method of harnessing energy on point, rather than waste it over rapidly decaying grids. If the project is a success, then the only application is, as Hisoka stated, to produce massive amounts of energy. The wielder of this energy would be more or less the card holder in the technology war for a long time." he scowls. "Let's hand it to Zephyr, what's the worst that can happen..." he muses sarcastically.
Nayru takes a bite out of her food. Carefully savoring the flavor before swallowing. "Okay. Okay. So this isn't good news. The question now is what we're going to do about it?" Her eyes shifted their gaze to everyone in the room. The tension from this situation seemed to be effecting everyone. With a sigh, she took a sip of some wine. "We all know what P-day had cost us. We can not risk an even worst disaster from happening. So my question now is what we're going to do about it?"
Astara nods. "There /is/ a world still out there, beyond all of the nanite devestation." She gets up to grab a drink, sipping it while she continues to think. "We ought to find out who even proposed this thing to begin with, who the brains are behind it."
"Good of you to bring it up, Astara! The person between the first report and the current leader of the generator research. I'm pretty sure Hisoka knows this aswell, but the current leader is none other than Loveblade." She stay's silent from there.
"A person who I remember from Aaron's project, as the one who bombed an area with total disregard for the safety of others." He serves some more wine and starts drinking from that one. "Granted I don't think she is a bad person. Just..." He pauses looking for a nice word "Reckless..."
Ferus sighs again, "If you don't want to use old rivalries? Use one problem to amend the other. Make a immune system. The nanites are pretty much everywhere at this point, it's just a mater if there controlled by a bubble or not. They already ate the world, have them eat or attack anything not of this world.", hums, "Better yet, if your worried about some walls being torn down? Let's get our hands on this research and turn knowledge that makes the drill into something that builds high walls."
Otto simply remained silent for a while, listening to the discussion among his fellow colleagues. He made his point that he is skeptical of the idea, but doubted that all his questions would ever be answered. The mention of Loveblade's name immediately hoisted a red flag in his head, but he said nothing of it. What was to discuss? So little was done for the project and now they were discussing wars of the worlds, even!
Ferus sighs again, "If you don't want to use old rivalries? Use one problem to amend the other. Make a immune system. The nanites are pretty much everywhere at this point, it's just a mater if there controlled by a bubble or not. They already ate the world, have them eat or attack anything not of this world.", hums, "Better yet, if your worried about some walls being torn down? Let's get our hands on this research and turn knowledge that makes the drill into something that builds high walls."
Astara rubbed the bridge of her nose as she heard Loveblade's named mention. "Well, I see she's moved on from unintentionally almost blowing Vaeri and I up to pushing for something that might unintentionally blow us ALL up."
Nayru just remained silent at this time. Instead noting everyones reaction when Loveblade's name was mentioned. The bunny had no idea who this Loveblade was, but it seemed to her that they weren't very well liked by the members of the group. Yet she wouldn't know what to think of them until she meets them in person. With that in mind, she continued eating, waiting to see if their were any answers to the problem they apparently faced.
Light softly sighs and goes to get her drink of wine again before she finishes it and just sets it down so she doesn't drop it. "That's all the information that I have. Though we can talk more about it later, it is getting late and just being in my room to twiddle thumbs....doesn't help the situation either. So lets not loom over it until we can get more information, or more intel on Loveblades goals."
Astara nods. "Sounds like a plan, to me. Good to see you all again!" She stands up, sorta preparing to leave... and then she says "Oh! Right! We're soon going to be ready to make our move into 5th Street Station, by the way."
Ferus shakes them selves from get stuck in their own mental loop. "How is the place looking?"
Nayru looks up at Astara upon hearing the news that their base was nearing completion. "That's awesome. I can't wait to finally see it." She said with hidden excitement in her voice, downing the rest of the wine in her glass.
Hisoka smiles and says "Sounds good. I'll have to look into the upgrades we want to do. Namely making it bigger if needed."
Astara smiles. "Well, it has tons of space to begin with, we won't have to add much... we just have to put the resources into reclaiming it, room by room. Right now... we just need to have some /polite/ conversation with the couple of mutants inhabiting the area, and then we'll be all good." She giggles a little after thinking about it, "Perhaps we'll even be able to convince them to be useful to us! They aren't hostile, and considerably well-spoken considering they're feral... they just are too wary of me and my, uh. /Street repuation/ to want to talk much to me."
"Well that's easy enough to arrange. I'm sure a number of us could talk with them in your stead." Nayru said before standing up, "Hey Light. Where do you want us to put our dishes?"
Otto was fairly lost on most other things said. To him, it all seemed like empty babble given how little they knew of the device, yet still he listened. By the time they were done, the crowd seemed to be dispersing, and thst seemed like a swell idea to the rather tuckered out bunny.
Light giggles and nods. "Oh well I'm sure we can handle this with just polite conversation. But yes, I am quite glad everything is coming together now." She trots along and unlocks the door for everyone and opens it. "Glad everyone could come, I know I have a few things to do. Ah you can leave them on the table, I'll take care of it."
Ferus leans to the side and shrugs shucking off the last of her little own private little mental loop on the previous problem. "If you need help with that", The margay sighs and works her self back to her feet,"You know how to reach me. I'll try to be more sociable next time." Moving to the door she picks up the towel she left behind, and nods to everyone still present as she makes her own exit. "Good night folks. Sleep well."
Nayru nods as she finishes off the food still on her dish, and carefully puts her glass on top of it. "Thanks for having us Light. This has proven to be... Informative, if not worrying. Let's just hope we're able to stop any tragedies from happening." With that said, the bunny placed her dishes on the table, and began to head out. Her mind buzzing full of things she had learned this day. "Have a good night everyone." And with that, she left.
With everything needed to be said having been said, Astara gives a polite wave to everyone left, and walks out. "See you all around!"
Hisoka gets up and stretches. "Actually, Light. If you have time we can talk about something."
Light tilts her head and looks towards Hisoka, "Sure, I have some time to talk. Something on your mind?"
