Database : Negaverse Character : General Benitoite Information : I wouldn't talk to Knight Valhalla but I would seek out his wife - Princess Ganymede. Apparently she knows a lot, though what I don't know. Considering the run in I had with Valhalla I don't think I'll be attempting a conversation with the Princess myself, I would suggest someone with less of a history attempt it, I'd also suggestion caution with the princess for anyone who does attempt to speak with her.

Database : Order Character : Eternal Sailor Kerberos Information : I was one of the people brought up to the strange prison in space. After the experience, I too received the same seven images as Solaris--just in case there's a discrepancy I haven't noticed, I'm uploading mine here too!
[here. Kerberos has attached the seven images]
In addition to the reported timeframe Ganymede noted, we were also given several names for the approaching creature: The Calamitous Hollow. Storm of the Endless Sky. Herald of the Dark Star. The Stormborn Cataclysm. None of these sound good, but if you can read your planet or Wonder's language, I'd ask that you check for similar references. Anything you can find is worth adding to our knowledge base, even if it seems small.
I've reached out to contacts in multiple places, including the Negaverse and the Vanguard. I recommend trying to do the same. We all need to work together to save our planet. Specifically, I will vouch that General-King Jet is invested in protecting the Earth and will likely be willing to talk. Always be cautious, of course.

Database : Order Character : Sailor Tianyi Information : It isn't much, but I found a ledger on my planet detailing an incident with an old trading partner who was forced to delay a meeting for strange electrical storms. When the trading fleet finally went to the later meeting date, the planet they were looking for was gone, and there were only strange clouds and a debris field. There were also reports of ships going missing in the area.
Spoke with Kerberos. Murikabushi has one of the needed spikes. They went to the Celestial Theatre and learned we have 3-6 weeks until the creature arrives. Creature/Serpent from the murals (see General King Faustite’s report) goes by many names:
The Calamitous Hollow Storm of the Endless Sky Herald of the Dark Star The Stormborn Cataclysm
Kerberos said the Moon Kingdom loved their secrets, but they were going to try breaking into some of the locked-off areas of the palace during the full moon.
Is the full moon required for entry? Just the palace, since he said they went to the Celestial Theatre?
They have an ancient computer called “the moon console” which is a thousand years old, but not very useful. The Code, which is “the thing that empowers Knights,” has offered to help them, too. Said the creature was mysterious even a thousand years ago. No one knew where it came from, just that it showed up out of dark space and started eating. Kerberos indicated there were multiple prisons that exist.
Could we find a way to locate another prison to obtain an unused spike?
Kerberos agrees they are unable to kill the creature by themselves and will need help. Kerberos allowed me to take his energy. Possible to find others in the White Moon willing to give their energy.
Database : Vanguard Character : Commander Aliez Information : Incident Report: The morning of Earth date twenty-second of February, 2025, General King Jet and General Aquamarine entered Commodore Lyndin’s residence in the Dark Kingdom with news that the Earth is in danger of being destroyed. A world-devouring serpent as shown in the images attached below. They stated they were pulled to an unknown place during the heavy lightning storms the previous night. They requested analysis of the following items:
Charred piece of ceiling: Most components are in very small percentages. Nothing of great note and could be found easily across the universe. The most prominent reading indicated that the largest component (Moon-Specimen 1045) made up 95% of the item. Other readings date the specimen to approximately thirteen hundred years old. It is an incredibly pure sample. General King Jet claimed it fell after seeing a vision of a location called the Celestial Theatre.
Incredibly pure energy: General Aquamarine stated it was drawn out of one of the walls: the mural showing the spike being forged. He stated that Queen Laurelite has never felt anything like it before, and it was exceptionally pure energy. Commodore Lyndin’s scans show this to be correct. Not quite identical, but he stated he has seen this pure energy register after a supernova. He stated it was dangerous that the prison-like room was leaking energy.
Spike:
Two feet long, 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.
Orb: Appears to be incredibly clear, durable glass. However, the ComTech registers it as Astricite - a rare mineral found only in dense, energy packed areas of the universe. Velencya once obtained a small supply of this and utilized it for our world. It is a known, powerful energy conductor. Within the orb, the ComTech identified 156 unique minerals, no more than a pinprick in size, but the samples were too small for it to scan without greater computation. Note: It was not disclosed to General King Jet and General Aquamarine that the orb is made of Astricite.
Spike: Based on the images, it is assumed there are supposed to be six. However; only a max of five, and minimum of one, are accounted for. The shaft was created from Vancorium, a highly versatile ore that was one of Velenia’s major exports. There are slight traces of organic material in the sample and tests are being run to isolate it. Likelihood of replicating the item is unknown.
Additional: These photos were downloaded from General King Jet’s tablet.
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.
Note: It is advised to all Vanguard to use extreme caution around the Negaverse Agents.
OOC Note: This would have been submitted into the database a little after February 21st. Source : Analysis, Hope
Heyyyy, how's it going? Don't you think the Mirror is extra beautiful and exciting lately? And the wraiths are so happy! I really love to see our Mirror thriving like this. Unfortunately, there's some scarier things going on!
Big Bro Murikabushi is still the Biggest Brotherest, so he wanted to let us all know a few things ~ like some order senshi and negaverse people go taken to a weird place and were given some big warning about a storm serpent who is very scary! Big Bro also was given some kind of lightning rod with maybe a weathervane?? I don't know, usually they're cuter than the one he had, but nothing about this says style to me anyway! Not every cosmic entity or people can be as aesthetically sensible and the Mirror and Court! But anyway, if you need someone with a lightning rod or directions to weather, you should find Murikabushi, he's hard to miss and is very nice.
Here's some pictures that he got from his abduction, isn't the Mirror so cute and helpful for improving our compacts and making the database more stable just to help us?

Last night on the 14th of March, 2025, a group of senshi, knights, and mauvians attempted to gain extra entry to the palace on the moon to gain extra information about either the storms or additions resources for the defense of Earth at the encouragement of Princess Ganymede. I was among them, and through group work, we were able to access a "fragment" of Queen Serenity that had been left behind in case of such an emergency. This fragment was sentient and able to give both important information and the promise of further assistance. The following video shows our session with her:

Database : Order Character : Joyeuse Garde Information :
While accompanied by Ekstrom of Mercury at the Joyeuse Garde, was overtaken by the lightning storm. While there, I didn't attempt to leave during the storm, but I did have a gut feeling that I would have found it difficult or impossible if I had tried. The feeling lifted when the storm passed and we left without difficulty.
While mostly unremarkable and in keeping with other observations, at one point during this event the current ancestral ghost of the Garde was able, briefly, to interact with a living creature there (namely, a spider). As the spider is new to the wonder I do not know if the spider itself has any unusual qualities, although it does seem in every respect like a mundane spider and his previous attempt (pre-storm) to interact with it was unsuccessful in the way you'd expect it to be. So, kinda suspect that it was the lightning storm that let this happen somehow. Didn't last for more than maybe a second and a half.
Otherwise, nothing unusual. Would advise you, however, if you have big metal sticks on the roofs of any structures around your wonder, to consider doing something about that before the next storms roll in.
^ should be backdated to a point middle-early in all this happening, some time after Ekstrom spoke to her code piece about the lightning but not sure when exactly, sorry lmao
Database : Negaverse Database Character : Headache d.b.a. Faustite Information : Scant information exists in our files about "the Calamitous Hollow". Found a bill of lading that may be linked.
The presumed buyer of the shipment kept notes on this bill detailing that their shipment was routed through some interim planet. The shipment was lost at said interim planet. The buyer paid for an investigation, in which the investigators were delayed in returning, and reported a debris field with residual electrical activity where this planet should have been. This mention was from 1200 years ago and fits the MO of our "Calamitous Hollow". The disbelief from the buyer implies that the creature might not have been well-known back then, either.
Also spoke with a White Moon contact who elaborated on the visit to the Moon Palace. Her information corroborates what Jet reports. In addition:
A "shade of Queen Serenity" said this is one of a number of creatures. Evidently they fought one before and sustained devastating losses. The Calamitous Hollow is "a force beyond nature". Six spikes need to be reinstalled in the chamber we were in before to trap the creature. Indefinitely, supposedly. I'm guessing only five spikes could have been obtained from where we were. One hallway was too choked with lightning to explore. We may need to revisit carefully or check one of the other containment areas that Jet's report mentions. The Calamitous Hollow is self-sustaining and generates its own energy (best we enchant every spike to drain energy so we have an advantage). It is not yet at full power, but we should treat this as an inevitability due to its self-sustaining nature.
We have limited time to counter this creature's arrival. Friendlier faces than mine should see who among the White Moon, if any, have spikes. Obtain them however you will. Consider looking into manufacturing more spikes or procuring them from elsewhere. We also need a reliable method to return to that prison if we're to recapture this creature.

Database : Order Character : Sailor Tempesti Information : Found a fulgurite, one of those pieces of glass that forms when lightning hits sand. Not sure if it's natural or from the Calamitous Hollow or if that even matters. Would appreciate input or energy analysis if possible, thank you! (Attached is a photo of an object resembling a small, branching tube formed from blackened sand) Source : [x]
Database : Order Character : Ida Information : I spoke with both Almadel and Caedus to see if either had any information they could share about the Hollow approaching Earth. Caedus has been disconnected and doesn't know much of anything, unfortunately. Almadel has been gathering information, but much of what he has gathered doesn't agree on details.
According to Almadel, the stories do agree that: ‘there is a storm, it eats worlds, it disappears’, in his words. The monster is always some form of serpentine. There is no mention in any story of how to stop it or how it was trapped, though we are certain it was trapped at one point in time.
Discrepancies include: - It punishes the wicked - it is a vengeful god - it is the soul of a long-dead star - It is a dragon, a lizard or a snake - It is a great white beast - It swims like a fish, rides lightning or comes out of nowhere - It is a relic of the old world, or not from this universe
Almadel feels there is suspiciously little information for something as huge and dangerous as this world-eater is. Either that information was lost in the destruction of our worlds, or the people of the past wanted to hide it, we're not sure which. Surely something should have survived? And if the information was hidden... why? What would they have gained by hiding it? Or, what were they protecting?
Please be careful in your investigating. Hidden information could have protections on it.
Also, Almadel has offered to be what help he can be. He has some ability to travel to places we can't reach, or have limited ability to reach. Please reach out to him if you have ideas of places you want to visit to find more information, or reach out to me if you need help finding him.
Database : Order Character : Bifrost Information : Surrounding is also afflicted by these storms, mostly on the areas between the outposts and wonders. The Bifrost itself was affected; several strikes of lightning hit various points of the wonder. I noticed a very odd serpentine after image at one point, a little like a shadow? Whatever is coming, even the Surrounding is alerting it's protectors about it. Source : [ x ]
Database : Order Character : Aberdonia Information : On March 12th, I teleported up to Aberdonia when the storm was beginning to break. With me was a member of the Vanguard, Daesva.
While investigating the archives, we came across the battered remains of a set of scrolls, clearly quite old. We could not make out the hieroglyphs at present, but there were a handful of images included on one of the scrolls, showing a serpentine figure. The figure was drawn differently each time, as though the artist were working from verbal descriptions, rather than firsthand viewing. In one instance, it appears to have been portrayed as a bolt of lightning hitting the surface of a planet; in all instances, the figure appeared to be striking a planet, or devouring a planet, hence the suspicion that the lightning bolt was another interpretation of the serpent.
Attached are photos of the pictures on the scroll.
We also took measurements of the storm with Daesva's equipment; those are also attached, as she kindly gave me a USB stick with the readings on March 16th.
For what it's worth, I have a very hazy memory of having heard a story like the one in the pictures, I think as a bedtime story when I was very young during my past life. I do not recall hearing of any methods of defeating or containing it, but I think the story and the images come from survivors' tales. I don't think there were very many, but at least one survivor must have passed through Aberdonia at some point in time. Source : Unexpected Guest, circumventing differences

Database : Vanguard Character : Cadet Rhysi Information :
Earthdate 03/30/2025 CE (UTC−17:00)
Attached is the relevant scanner data.
Summary: Noted unusual plant growth post weather phenomena on Earth. Rapid growth, at times followed by rapid withering. I was able to make more comprehensive scans of the Lysithean Wonder of Halle, as its heavily wooded environment was suitable for multiple data points. While not all flora showed signs of rapid growth, and of those that did, not all showed signs of rapid withering in the aftermath, there was enough to imply correlation.
Proposal: While not a particularly actionable observance at the moment, it brings to question the nature and source of the oncoming power we seek to harness. Measures may need to be taken to ensure that the energies provided are not sourced from our people or Velencya's limited resources.
Database : Vanguard Character : Cadet Rhysi Information :
Earthdate 03/29/2025 CE (UTC−11:00)
Attached is the relevant scanner data.
Summary:
Having accepted of the Negaverse invitation of the half-youma agent, Captain Carnotite, for a collective enhanced energy gathering event, I find myself both impressed and inspired by the modification abilities to be found within the Negaverse. The captain proved to be an excellent conduit to enable a large group of individuals to efficiently collect energy from the storms.
Proposal:
Upon collection of our hoped-for energy source, I believe it may be integral for Captain Carnotite, or a half-youma of similar ability to be transported to Velencya as well to better make use of said energy source.
Additionally, I'm curious about this "youmafication" and if Velencian technology may be put to similiar use of enhancing sentient individuals. As well as if the Negaverse's transformative capability could be used on those of a Velencian's physical, non-magical make-up.
