"It's pretty smart not to show his hand, it's not for him to give no hints to his allies. I mean, he could vent from time to time, instead of letting his dark feelings build up and make him go berserk when they overflow..." I see Repter returning and point towards Christa: "I think you should ask her."
"I can see why you'd be worried about him," Micah states with a nod adding, "But you'll need a plan for if he does rage out. As I said before, if he unleashes his demon form whilst in the thick of battle then it could lead to a major catastrophe."
"Most people change over the course of their lifetime, but Micah and Red are wise to be concerned about Isaac in this upcoming battle. If extra precautions aren't taken then the tide could quickly turn out of our favor," Spiga tells the Dhampir, hoping that she'll at least take their thoughts into consideration in preparation for the big fight.
Kenzie sticks her finger in Christa's direction and says, "Well you need to get her to start lightening up."
She hears Repter ask about the upcoming war and thrusts up to him blurting out, "Oh yeah, there's gonna be siege machines and thousands of Order troops to blow up!"
"I'm sure Lic-chan has...some sort of plan...I hope...As for Christa it's easier said than done." She answers. A portal opens up and Lic-chan and Kiki-chan step out. "Huh? Lic-chan, Kiki-chan. what are you doing here?" The Dhampir asks. "The...war...consul..." Lic-chan answers. "And I'm here to check on Master's state." Kiki-chan explains.
Me: "Sounds like a warzone, but I need more information the Order has little to no idea the Skyhammer or even the Earth Republic even exists, I need to know what we could be up against if we do decide to get involved because after the Oz incident they want to try to go back to dealing with natural and supernatural disasters and I'm kind of leaning towards the same footing at the moment." I tell everyone.
Lic-chan takes out a book and flips to a page and removes a scrap of paper, handing it to Repter. It details that the Order have gotten their hands on a sort of weapon of unknown origins. "We know it's not much to go on, but Ryu-chan had a vision of a metallic monstrosity. She's unsure if they've already got it and are testing it, or they will complete it soon. Her visions are of possible futures, so we have only so much to work with." Kiki-chan explains. Lic-chan nods and points toward the castle. "Going...to...council now..." She says.
Me: I look over the information. "I'll keep the information in mind while we the United Earth Republic is currently in the process of setting up a orbital space station observation post my ship as well as those of the UER have been detecting something unusual it'll be ready by the time the war starts." I start pondering what it could be and a very uneasy feeling starts welling up in my chest.
Jack: "Repter are you ok?"
Me: "Yeah just an uneasy feeling about the future."
Anitra: "I share your doughts, something isn't right."
"... There's a fictional character who always has a handful of backup plans to stop, or in the worst case kill his allies should they get on the wrong path; I think I understand that logic a bit better now. Please don't tell me I'm going to need it as well!"
I stop to wave a little at the newcomers and listen to the exchange between Kiki-chan and Repter: "A... metallic monstrosity? Giant I assume? Did she describe how tall it was?" I cough to clear my thoughts at the same time and resume: "I mean, if we have to fight it in a near future, may as well know what we're up against, right?"
"Some sort of plan isn't exactly convincing," Micah says as she watches Lic-chan leave for the castle. She would need a lot more detail if she was going to be fighting alongside Isaac in the upcoming war. The mouse looks up at Spiga when the metal giant is mentioned and asks, "What do you make of that? A possible superweapon by the Order?"
Spiga glances downward and replies, "It is unsettling. A machination that could take the lives of hundreds if not thousands. I only hope we can stop it before it unleashes its true destructive power."
"A superweapon creates a satisfying explosion when destroyed! I'll see to that!" Kenzie announces with glee.
Micah shakes her head and grumbles quietly to herself, "All of this vagueness ain't helping."
"That's just it Red-san, Micah-san, her visions are only that, visions. We can't make the most of them until we feel their effects first-hand. A disadvantage I'm aware, I apologize for the inconvenience." Kiki-chan says bowing. "Well, hopefully we'll get some answers at this war meeting. I'm sure you're all more than free to attend...as long as you can put up with Christa's tactlessness that is." The Dhampir says.
(Repter?)
"Ah... Kind of expected these visions couldn't be very precise. And I'll attend this meeting, since I'm here anyway..."
