The woman's face grew still and calculating before her shoulder lifted slightly in a half shrug. "I'll need you back here after awhile, but the first and second sections are done."
Two bars of strange metal, covered in small, unlit appeared on the table and Melvin would realize that they'd always been on the table, he could remember his hands placing them there every day for the past two weeks and promptly forgetting them. How many other things was he simply not allowed to see, even as they sat before him?
"Take them. Charge them. The first needs the power of your kind, Fear energy transformed into something cold and human. The second needs the power of Fear in its raw form. When you come back, we'll make the third and final piece, and see if the City can..." her voice faltered, she didn't seem happy at about it, not sad either...a little afraid. Unsure. "To see if it can once again be a place of life."
Of its of volition, Melvin's hand reached out to grab one of the bars. It was two feet long with good heft and as his thumb brushed a small raised portion, a long blade extended out. The other would prove the same.
There was a pendant around his neck, he'd realize and understand it was like the Deus one, it would bring him directly back here, to this room, if he chose.
"Bring Babel with you. It'll be both your monitor and protector."
The fish separated from the tile of the floor, rising to float peaceably around his head.
"The Fallen City has places its remaining hope within you, Melvin. Don't..." a pause, "...don't ******** this up."

Rods as weapons : 2d12-4, no chargesThe Rod of Mortality : to charge this piece, Melvin must fight or spar 7 other Hunters (using their weapon)
The Rod of Immortals : to charge this piece, Melvin must fight or spar with 7 students/alumni of Halloween
Babel :
- can actively translate any language being spoken into Melvin's mind. Since the translation is a psychic ability, if someone says something in another language while meaning something else, Babel will translate the meaning, not the exact word. (example : the speaker calls Melvin "my friend" while thinking "butthole" the translation will end up calling Melvin "my butthole")
- will remove Melvin to Atlantis if he is in mortal danger, if he attempts to take the rods apart, if he tries to give them to someone else
- had built in self defense, anyone besides Melvin attempting to touch babel will receive a paralysis shock to their hand
- cannot travel more than 10 feet from Melvin
- cannot blend into architecture outside of Atlantis or Atlantean structures
- can understand basic instructions such as "hide" "stay" "come here" "repeat that"
