Database : Order Character : Sailor Tempesti Information : Encountered a violent electrical storm marked by intensely purple clouds on Tempesti. It took more than one try to power up and leave. Attached is a short video showing the color of the clouds and rate of lightning strikes within a small area. Source : [Here]

Database : Order Character : Super Sailor Solaris Information : A few of us were pulled into an unknown location on the night of February 21st during the massive storm. These images are of parts of the room we ended up in that depict a world-eating serpent and storms in space.
Attached to Solaris' message are the following images: Murals
First, a panel of smooth stone with pin-points of light amidst a faint glow of clouds and a very noticeable lightning storm. Second, a panel of smooth stone with a large serpentine figured coiled around a planet. The serpent has two small arms, with its mouth open and clearly feasting upon the world. Third, a panel of smooth stone with humanoid people staring up at the sky in horror, where the serpent can be seen. In another portion, three humans hammer a strange spike at a forge. Fourth, a panel of smooth stone with a hexagon cage of sorts, made of six spikes pinned to each point with frozen lightning arching between each spike. Fifth, a panel of smooth stone with the same hexagon, this time with the serpent caught within the lightning cage. Sixth, a panel of smooth stone like all the others--however, this wall is clearly blank until the viewer tilts the screen or looks at the image from another angle... then they are able to make out the faint, pale lines of a great eyeball always seeming to follow them...
Room
A smooth stone floor with a hexagon marked into it. Each of the sides are glowing, along with five of the six large circular points. The sixth, however, is dark. There are strange symbols within the hexagon in an unknown language.
While we were there, I also picked up this strange spike that looks like the ones in the murals.
Attached to Solaris' second message is the following image: Strange Spike
A simple photo of a two-foot long spike made out of a dark, metallic-grey metal with a greenish tint, resting on a snow-cleared picnic table. A quarter of the spike (not the pointy end) was forged into a hilt with a long cross-guard. At the end of the hilt silts a single, dark circular orb. Though the lighting doesn't reflect it greatly, there does seem to be a strange glimmer within it like tiny, tiny pinpricks of light.
Database : Negaverse Character : Headache dba Faustite Information : February 21st, evening. A violent lightning storm truck the city. One of these strikes ripped open a portal, like the ones youma take to and from the Rift. A collection of White Moon and Negaverse individuals were taken to a dark enclosure.
Identified individuals included Heliodor, me, Benitoite, Chalcanthite, Jet, Aquamarine, Encke, Kerberos, Murikabushi, and an unnamed alien senshi with wings. See respective database entries for White Moon senshi.
The air was charged and excitable; sparks flew from energetic sources, but it was impossible to call weapons or use magic in that space. Transcended senshi marks no longer glowed. Light generated from where we stood, however.
We found six murals in the room and a hexagonal diagram suggestive of one of the murals. One of the points was dark. Visions and magical interference suggested that the serpent in the murals was the source of this thunderstorm and may be escaping its confines. Its interest in Earth is all but apparent. Nonetheless, we could use corroborating evidence.
We also found a spike. Likewise seems connected to the murals.
It is imperative we find out all we can about these murals and the creature they represent. I suggest starting with the enemy alien senshi. They may have seen or known of something akin to this creature.
Come by my office if you need clarification.
[Headache attached photos of each mural and the hexagonal surface. The verbatim descriptions of these images are under the spoiler.]
seven photos within the message: one of the floor–a hexagon with glowing sides and large circular points where each side meets. Five of the six are illuminated, one circle is dark. There are strange symbols within the hexagon that seem to be in another language but aside from being recognizable by sight they do not seem to be written in a language that can be translated. There is a picture of each of the five murals, though all images are completely still. The last picture is of the sixth wall and is notably stranger than the others; it looks like a blank wall but if you tilt the screen or look at it from another angle you can make out the pale lines of a great eye–always following you.
Hidden away in the once-locked rooms, a two foot long spike has been stored away. They appear to be a dark, metallic grey with a noticeably greenish tint. A quarter of the spike was forged into a hilt, separated by an oddly long cross guard. Mounted atop each spike is a single, circular orb. It is black in color, but when peering deeply, the light catches it and gives the appearance of a small universe trapped inside. These spikes do not appear to have ever been in use; they look new and freshly forged. There does not appear to be any noticeable defects, but there is an innate, raw power within them.
Database : Order Character : Super Chibi Saiph Information : Guys, something weird is going on. I went up to Saiph and the entire sky was filled with angry, purple storm clouds. Lightning was everywhere and close. I think it might be affecting subspace and powering up because I had to fight to retrieve my phone and I randomly powered down.
I'm attaching video and stills of the storm as well as footage of myself having difficulty powering back up. Also, I got hit by lightning and I think it did something to my magic. Images show destruction that my magic should not be capable of. Also also. The lightning hit my arm and in addition to looking as you'd expect after a lightning strike, there was a weird snake marking. I've attached pictures of that too.
None of this is normal, right? Does anyone have any idea what's happening?
Database : Vanguard Character : Cadet Rhysi Information :
Earthdate 21/02/2025 CE (UTC−05:00)
Attached is the relevant scanner data.
Summary: Unusual weather phenomena leading sudden energy increases in both standard energy gathering procedures and within the ambient environment usually too weak for such activities.
Proposal: Having observed unique lightning events in this locale prior to this (though the magnitude was far less), I will be preparing to continue to seek out any further weather phenomena, both on Earth and other locales. In adherence with the urge for caution, and in the interest of rapid data collection, I will seek out other vanguard members to work as a group.
Database : Negaverse Character : Corrupt Super Ilmarë Information : I encountered a highly distraught chibi senshi while on patrol. I spoke softly and carefully and managed to convince her to tell me what was wrong. She did not volunteer her name and given the information she shared, I'm afraid that I was too stunned to ask.
She did tell me that she had been up to her homeworld one day ago and had witnessed a terrible and violent lightning storm that turned the entire sky purple. She voluntarily showed me a short video that she had taken of this. For now, I have no reason to doubt the child's veracity.
She also stated that she had been hit by a bolt of lightning and showed me a picture she had taken after. Her arm was burned and blistered, but there was also a strange snake like marking winding up the struck arm. I did remember to check the date stamp on the image. It did state it was taken precisely one day ago. The chibi's arm was free from all signs of burn damage or snake markings when we spoke tonight. Again, I have no cause to doubt what I was shown and told. While those of the White Moon can be... tricky at times, I do not believe this child is up to the task of manufacturing Oscar winning FX. Additionally, the level of stress that was visible during our interaction would be incredibly difficult to feign.
There is one more thing of note. She said that after being stuck by lightning, her magic was somehow affected. I have read everything we have about Chibi Senshi. My understanding is that the damage they are able to create magically is negligible at best. She used her magic towards the end of our conversation and ran away directly after unleashing it.
It tore a chunk out of a fully grown and thick tree trunk.
Database : Dark Mirror Character : Eternal Dark Mirror Melomene Information : The wraiths seem to be able to draw energy from some of the mirrors, unusually large ones, causing them to shatter. I've also seen what appears to be space inside of these mirrors, I'm certain I saw worlds that have are devoid of life and are dead. Mirrorspace isn't behind this but I wonder if this will upset it somehow. Be safe and don't go into mirrorspace alone.
I'm attatching a video, take a look, this isn't normal. Perhaps a few of us should inspect things together. Source : here

Database : Order Character : Eternal Senshi Antares, Senshi of Scorpions Information : Noticed the storm while on Antares. More lightning then thunder, and nearly no noticeable rain. It was much harder to return to Earth then it typically is. No pics or vids taken but the ones posted by others are accurate to what I witnessed as well. Source :link
Database : Order Character : Sailor Tempesti Information : I was struck by lightning and it left this mark on my arm. It faded within two hours or so. [Attached is a photo of her arm bearing a snake-like mark]
Database : Order Character : Tortuga, Squire of Jupiter Information : Lightning storm broke out while on wonder. No visible damage from what I can tell at this time however I did ask the code about the storm. The following is as accurate as I can remember:
When asked if it was okay since it looked strange during the storm - - It was working but didn't feel connected to it's self. The storm was messing with it's ability to focus and it was hard to remain normal right then.
When asked about the storm itself - - It had no idea what it was but wasn't sure if it had happened before. It wasn't sure at all but did know it was unnatural and something was causing it.
When asked how I could help - - It didn't really know but it did want me to see if anyone else has any more information. It was concerned that Knights of Jupiter weren't aware of how bad the storms were getting so asked me to spread the word. I, Tortuga, am not sure if this storm, the whole purple nonsense and everything, is a symptom of a issue or if the Code was just talking about the Jupiter storms in general.
FYI the Code did warn that the storm might damage things so make sure your wonders and homeworlds are safe. If anyone has any more info let me know, or relay it to your Code piece as well, if your a knight that is

Database : Order Character : Valhalla Information : I am including an audio recording of the conversation that took place.
General Benitonite approached me, wishing to exchange information. Claimed that Earth’s safety was being threatened (which is true), and asked for help. I did try to tell him I knew more than he assumed, but he decided it was not worth putting aside his ego for information.
He commented that he knew some of the reasoning behind the strange sky and storms. Said he was trying to locate me, specifically because he thinks the murals from the strange location depicted something from Norse mythology. I informed him that the Valhalla of Jupiter has existed long before Norse mythology, and that the myth he was convinced of being related to this incident was that of a sea serpent, and that perhaps there are other myths that would more closely associate with his thoughts.
He claimed he was worried about his family. But the Negaverse has spent over a decade murdering Senshi and Knights and civilians. Benitonite cannot be trusted and seemed to be acting for selfish reasons. Use caution if dealing with him.
Database : Order Character : Ganymede Information : Kerberos, Ida, Valhalla and myself visited the Celestial Theatre to access the console and speak with the Code. Please be advised that the creature detailed in Solaris’ entry is on approach to Earth. Timeframe 3-6 weeks. According to the Code there may be something that can help us locked in the Moon Palace. At the very least there should be a better functioning computer somewhere in there that may be able to offer further assistance. Unfortunately we haven’t been able to gain access to a lot of the Palace and the Code’s hopes that Moon Knights might be recognized and granted access haven’t panned out yet. Anyone up for trying a little breaking and entering? The full moon is coming up from March 13-15. Snacks will be provided on the night of Friday the 14th. Anyone who makes an attempt to get into the Palace and sends me picture or video evidence will get $500. I’m so serious.
Database : Order Character : Snowball Information : Niflhel took me up to his wonder with him, the code mentioned there was some sort of creature headed this way. It didn't know what it was but it felt them before the storms started. The code piece there mentioned feeling unconnected to the rest of the pieces and was uncomfortable but felt safe as mine and Niflhel's concern was that the code piece was safe. I asked if Mauvian tech could assist the code in connecting to other pieces - the code said if I could do anything is to create something to study the storms or to try and stop the storms. If other mauvians are interested in working on some sort of tech to try and locate the creatures maybe we could have a chance of ending the storms? Let me know, I'm going to need help.
Database : Negaverse Character : General Aquamarine Information : Additional information regarding the aforementioned events of February 21st. General King Jet returned with a shard of the ceiling, which Vanguardian tech dates to roughly 1300 years ago. 95% composed of something called Moon-Specimen 1045. Jet retrieved it after having a vision of something the traitor senshi Kerberos called the Celestial Theatre. This Theatre supposedly exists on the Moon. Learn what you can of it.
Chalcanthite and myself managed to draw energy from one of the murals (see Faustite’s report). The Queen advised that it was an incredibly pure sample. Vanguardian scans read it as similar but not identical to what registers after a supernova. Commodore Lyndin advised that this should not have been leaking from its originating location and that it is “dangerous if not properly maintained.” The Vanguard will scan for similar energy signatures and attempt to track the creature.
The orb on the spike retrieved by myself and General King Jet (again, see Faustite’s report) is a powerful energy conductor. The shaft of the spike/stake/rod is composed of Vancorium. Commodore Lyndin described it as “a highly versatile ore you won’t find this side of the galaxy. One of Velenia’s major exports.” Slight traces of organic material were found. The Commodore will be running more tests to isolate it.
The murals seem to indicate that the spikes/stakes/rods were used to imprison the creature, potentially utilizing its own energy/the storms that herald its arrival. Six were necessary. There may be as many as five still in existence. Seek out the senshi Kerberos, Murikabushi, Encke, and the young woman who went by Wings to determine if more were recovered. (Wings had brown hair, blue-ish eyes, pointed ears, with two sets of small wings on her upper back. Her skin seemed to shimmer. Attire was pale blue and orange with light gold accents.) Commodore Lyndin was uncertain if these spikes/stakes/rods could be recreated but will reach out to his people and conduct more research.
OOC Note: This information would have been posted by Aquamarine sooner but I myself didn't have all of it until the last few days. Assume Aquamarine reported it in a timely manner IC, because he would have done so.
Hey queens, kings, gender-neutral monarchs, and sovereign beings who transcend the concept of gender entirely. I’m another one of the people who was up in the space hexagon with Super Sailor Angel Dust (apparently her name is Solaris, hi Solaris! Nice to have met you!), and I’ve got some updates from talking to the Dark Mirror Court about all this that’s going on with the world-eating lightning dragon.
Full disclosure upfront: the Mirror senshi I spoke to were Prince Remarque and Super Hybris of Eggplants. I had an in because I initially awakened as a Mirror senshi but left due to irreconcilable differences with Mirrorspace (thank you, Ida 💖). Remarque and Hybris will probably talk to other Order folks right now in the interests of sharing information and working together against a common foe (especially Remarque; I’ve never known him to be anything but reasonable, hardworking, and dedicated to protecting his people). I cannot promise the same from ALL Mirror senshi, though, so approach them with caution.
Advice for talking to Remarque and/or Hybris: Be polite. Don’t act overly familiar. Do NOT be overly aggressive or make threats (especially with Hybris; it will probably make him hit on you).
SO, ANYWAY: Neither of them has ever heard of anything like what we’re dealing with before. Hybris copied my version of the mysterious message Solaris mentioned (the collected still pictures of the murals, etc.) into some database with his compact. (To my knowledge, this is new. I don’t know if it’s permanent or not, but the Court did not have an intel database while I was with them.)
Remarque suggested investigating something called “The Surrounding”? He apparently got yote out there a while back and there might be something out there. If nothing else, it might be more data worth collecting about whatever we’re getting ready to deal with. Aside from this conversation with him and Hybris, though, I’ve literally never heard of the Surrounding, so I would very much like to know what it is!! If anyone has any information about how to visit the Surrounding, PLEASE FIND ME. My Connections app profile has pics, and I’ll try to patrol in the general DCU vicinity for the next few weeks to make that “finding me” thing easier.
Remarque also gave an assessment of the spike. He’s obviously never seen anything like it before, but pointed out a few ostensible inconsistencies about it that might need explaining? The pommel is, in his experience, typical of cheaply made, decorative swords (he looked at the orb on the end in particular), and nothing else about the mysterious spike says “cheap.” Despite the design of the hilt, the balance is all off for it to be used as a sword. He thinks it’s probably not from Earth, and considering everything else (the Celestial Theatre’s involvement, Super Hexagon Prison seeming to be in space, etc.), I think he’s probably right.
P.S.: If anyone reading has never met Rem and/or Hybris, I’ve attached pictures of them. You may catch Hybris in the act of sending Mirrorwraiths after people, but he’ll knock it off and talk serious if you whap him on the nose with a rolled up newspaper (or whatever your equivalent is). Again, do NOT threaten Hybris unless you accept the risk of him flirting at you.
Attached to Muri’s message are photos of Remarque (in his Eternal form) and Hybris. Remarque’s photo has him looking very handsome and dashing, but also serious, like somebody who gets the job done. The photo of Hybris depicts him lounging seductively around the mausoleum from the linked RP, making bedroom eyes at the camera.
