Well. That was enlightening. It dawns on you that all of this has been a massive waste of time if you do not manage to enter the game somehow. Still, you are waiting for Chaotic to show up in order to know that. ...You are beginning to hate paradox space already.

Neruul: connect to somebody, already! ==> You know. That much was obvious. Well, you might as well speak to the jadeblood. Raeine might be amendable, even given the circumstances. Without much ado, and with surprisingly little fuss, she agrees to be your client player. It's not exactly what you had hoped for, but you help her anyhow. Kindness, after all, is a commodity that may translate into later benefit...
It takes time, and mind-boggling shenanigans, but eventually you begin your help properly. After you've knocked a hole in her roof and killed her lusus by accident. Luckily for you, the meteors are coming. Her wrath must wait. Her echobeast lusus is revived via prototype, and the required machinery deployed. After that, she is in her 'land'. With nothing better to do, you have already begun examining the mechanics of building. She obviously does not possess the means to go through all seven of those portals on her own.
You begin to improve her hive...

Well, the improvements are coming along well. The steady stream of grist she has been gaining has helped immensely. Sareni's home is nearly to the first gate. You wonder briefly whether or not you should build around the gates, contain them, or ignore them once they are passed through. ...Build around them, you think. One might never know when or where those portals might be useful later on. It would be unwise to render them inaccessible. You are about to place another floor atop the supports- -Who's this pestering you? People seem to seek the least opportune time to do so... Oh. It is the cherub whom interfered earlier.

Things to think upon, you believe. The human interloper, QuestionableSleeping, is in fact, Mark Allegar. The human whose family owned the healing station in which you previously worked. Mark Allegar knows Vranil's name. He knew the individual attached well enough to ascertain your connection to the deceased party. You will make certain to have a long conversation with Mark about this; oh yes. On a more important note, you are considering options to meddle with Zachary, and to otherwise challenge him. If what MS has said was correct, then you should make plans to dispose of him as soon as he is no longer useful. If she was incorrect, then having him grow in power can be little but beneficial. Unfortunately, it will be out of your hands until you can at least see him and/or track his current whereabouts. You can speak with him at any time, but without knowledge of what he is doing... Hmm. You remember that games often have tasks that have little bearing upon the main narrative. Side-quests, you think they were titled... If you could convince him that doing them all was integral to either completing the game or thwarting Mark...

You feel sorry for Sareni, if that is what she has to deal with in a flushed suitor. At least he is being a good boy and doing as he's told. Your team will need him at his best, after all. You have the sinking feeling he may come to you for relationship advice in the future, as he seems to have the idea that you are an expert on the social issues of the species you study, as well as their physical make-up and structure. Worrying. Ah, well. It is time to contact Joenst and enter the game...

Ah. Your violent urges. It has been a long time since they have surged this closely to the surface. You entertain bloody thoughts involving yourself, Marcus, and certain kitchen utensils. Alternately, a live vivisection might be nice. You don't let it go on for long, though. Sareni may have left, but her hive still merits building. Call it a surprise for when she returns. More importantly, it is something to channel your urges into. ...Yes. You need to work.

Wow. You never expected that. He seemed put together of sterner stuff. Your deep-seated grudge has mellowed into something resembling pity. You honestly feel (Platonically) sorry for this human, who is operating as if feverish. Now, of course, he has gone right off the deep end, and talking to him is usedless. You should attempt to warn Sareni or Zachary somehow. They are not safe. ...Someone is pestering you. You don't know this particular one. Somehow, that is comforting.

It takes even longer for her to message this time. It is time you spend checking functions of the game, continuing to build Sareni's hive, and otherwise not wasting.
Ah. She has finally returned. You hope that things may now proceed apace.

It makes little sense to leave sopor lying around, do you captchalogue it. Who knows? It may even become necessary to create more in the future.
[08:10] AC: Y-Y:Correct. Is Something Wrong? [08:10] TR: <0>N0. N0thIng n0w.<0> [08:12] TR: <0>ThIs Is dIffIcult t0 use wIth0ut a Cruxtruder.<0> [08:13] AC: Y-Y:Understood. Deploying Now. [08:14] TR: <0>RIght.<0> [08:14] AC: Y-Y:Ok. I set them Side By Side.
Raevyn deploys the requisite machines in as tight a grouping as she can. It's a far cry from what normally happens in this situation, but you're thankful for it; even if you don't actually know better. Unfortunately, even the strength that comes naturally to higher bloodcastes does not seem to avail on its own merit. The Cruxtruder is shut tightly.
[08:14] TR: <0>It seems that my earlIer experIence was c0rrect.<0> [08:15] TR: <0>ThIs Is dIffIcult t0 0pen wIth0ut s0methIng 0f sIgnIfIcant weIght dr0pped up0n It.<0> [08:15] AC: Y-Y:Hmmm...Let Me See.

That.<0> [11:49] TR: <0>Hmm.<0> [11:50] TR: <0>There are 0ne 0r tw0 dead plants 0utsIde.

[11:51] TR: <0>AttractI0n, n0t aversI0n.<0> [11:52] AC: Y-Y:LOL. Sorry. Thats What I Meant [11:52] TR: <0>At fIrst, It d0es n0t seem pIcky. But after assImIlatIng 0ne thIng, It seeks 0rganIc matter.<0> [11:52] TR: <0>AgaIn, I have been In y0ur p0sItI0n.<0> [11:53] TR: <0>...And I admIt, plant-based enemIes w0uld be easIer t0 face than 0ne fashI0ned fr0m b00ks.<0> [11:53] AC: Y-Y:Very Well. Dropping It In Now. [11:53] TR: <0>My thanks.<0> [11:54] AC: Y-Y:Oh Dear. [11:54] TR: <0>...0h dear?<0>
Well, that's going smoothly, but what- Oh stars and stones. Wrong plant. Too late to fix it now; she's already prototyped it.
[11:55] AC: Y-Y:..... [11:55] TR: <0>...Perhaps I f0rg0t t0 mentI0n that 0ne 0f th0se plants was carnIv0r0us.<0> [11:56] AC: Y-Y:You Did Fail To Mention That. [11:56] TR: <0>And I regret It already!<0> [11:56] TR: <0>AAAAAAAAAAAAH!<0>
It's chasing you around! The stupid thing thinks that you are food!
[11:59] AC: Y-Y:Word of warning: Your Large Lusus Seems To Be On Its Way. Be Careful. It Looks Very Angry. [11:59] TR: <0>Why am I n0t surprIsed?<0> [12:00] TR: <0>There sh0uld be meat In the cl0nIng devIce, d0wn In the lab!<0> [12:00] TR: <0>That usually placates hIm!<0>
As she begins to throw books at it to distract the aggressive Plantsprite, you make your move. You heft the earth-filled pot, thankful for your highblood strength. With a grunt of effort, you heave it at the Cruxtruder, successfully knocking it open and scattering earth and broken pottery everywhere.
[12:03] TR: <0>There Is a pre-punched card that must be depl0yed bef0re the t0tem can be carved!<0> [12:07] AC: Y-Y:Take Care Of The Sprite First. Wait, A Second.
Whilst your fellow player distracts the carnivorous sprite (and presumably your lusus) by waving meat about, you deploy the cruxite dowel. Placing it in the lathe, you await a final component.
[12:10] AC: Y-Yrazzrepunched Card I Dropped In The Hall. Sorry. [12:11] AC: Y-Y:I'll Keep Distracting The Sprite [12:11] TR: <0>Thanks agaIn!<0> [12:11] AC: Y-Y:No Problem
Not a problem. You still have plenty of time, if you rush. It takes you little time to dash down (confirming, by the way, that she placated your lusus with red meat), and grab the pre-punched card. Scrambling back up the steps takes as much time as using the card and obtaining the carven totem.
[12:13] AC: Y-Y:Hurry. You Only Have 1:15 Left!!! [12:13] TR: <0>What?! I sh0uld have several h0urs yet!<0> [12:14] AC: Y-Y:The Countdown Started at 5 minutes. [12:15] TR: <0>SubjectIve tIme!? The rules are m0re c0mplex than I th0ught...<0>
As the Totem is placed, she informed you that you only had a minute to enter. While distressing, this only proved that you needed to focus on the task at hand: namely, catching this hopbeast that the Alchemiter produced! It's running like a mad thing, all around the room. But you weren't raised by a hunter for nothing!
Neruul: Aggress Rabbit! ==>
[12:15] AC: Y-Y:The Meteor Is Very Close. [12:15] AC: Y-Y:Uh Oh. [12:16] AC: Y-Y:GO FOR IT!!!!
Closer. Closer! Almost! GOT IT! With a squeeze and a quick twist, you break the construct in your hands.
Neruul: Enter ==>
Everything goes white for a passing moment. When it resolves, it is darker outside. The inside of your hive is lit with occasional flashes of lightning, and thunder inevitably follows. On the positive side, Plantsprite does not appear to wish you harm anymore.
[12:17] AC: Y-Y:Whoa. My Screen Went White For A Few Seconds. [12:17] AC: Y-Y:Are You Okay? [12:17] TR: <0>Yes.<0> [12:18] AC: Y-Y:Good News; Meteor Is Gone [12:18] TR: <0>Further g00d news: the change In scenery has calmed the PlantsprIte.<0> [12:18] AC: Y-Y:Bad News: Take A Look Outside!!

Nononononono... You have no idea as to your elevation! He should not be out in this sort of storm! There is increasing evidence that he could be struck by lightning! With no other recourse, you chase after him, into the Land of Storms and Harbors.
