☆TRACK VIII: I'LL REACH YOU BELOW

[interdimanagers]

Who: All rescuers!
What: The trio is here to give you the deets.
When: The evening of February 18th.
Where: An abandoned subway.
Warnings: Nothing predictable, but you never know.

“Word has it on the wire That you don't who you are. Well, if you could jack into my brain, You'd know exactly what you mean here.” ☆I'LL REACH YOU BELOW The notification is sudden. A several hours in advance, all rescuers will receive a ping over the network from Shep that they are to gather at a specific location late that evening. The location will not be given out until one hour in advance of the meeting, but they are advised to be ready to receive it and move out immediately. When they arrive, the meeting is taking place in an abandoned subway. At first it doesn't seem like there is a way in, but after slipping through the rubble in some collapsed tunnels, you'll find it. Shep, Gold, and Silver are all present, and will spent the first while doing a careful headcount of those that show up, until approximately 15 minutes after the starting time. The results seem to be disappointing. People who were here the first time are missing, that much is obvious just from looking around – the leaders’ unease with it is clear. However, it doesn’t cause them to panic or change the point of the meeting, either. At 11:15 PM on the dot, then Shep will begin the meeting by explaining what they are all there for: information. There have been details that the team has been holding back on giving until now, and Shep will somewhat sheepishly explain that it’s because they didn’t want the risk the change of it being leaked in the event that new recruits were incapable or unwilling to blend and lay low for the time being. Thankfully, he’ll explain, everyone here has more than proven themselves capable of working within Vista’s system. So, they’ve been brought together so they can be fully brought up to speed. Information will be delivered in three parts, by each one of the leaders. Afterwards, questions can be asked, and the rescuers will be allowed to mingle and discuss for a few hours. All the information is concise, and in the end the actual explanation will end up taking a half hour or less. Afterwards, Gold has brought snacks to share, as has become customary. Hopefully you like pastries. “So, if you've got the time, Set up the tone to sync. Tap in the code, I'll reach you below.”

Minako's been mulling all of this over the entire time. High tech isn't exactly her strong suit, but this magic and mysticism she's slightly more comfortable with. Here she finally raises her voice.

"What's the particular anomaly that's making them so powerful? And when the cosmos align...we'll see the universe plunge into chaos?"

The eternal battle of the Sailor Senshi in a nutshell. No wonder Rei's power was so attractive and so dangerous.

[interstellarebels]

Well, Minako seems pretty comfortable with this sort of nonsense, at least. Gold gestures uncertainly.

"Probably not the whole universe at once. More like...they'll have the right set up for them do a big ritual that turns them into god, or something. You know? That kind of jazz."

[hearted]

"So we need to stop it before it hits that point," she whispers. "Will anyone we free be able to help us with their power, or will they have to stop using it to stop feeding them?"

[interstellarebels]

"If we managed to get them away from the big guys long enough, they'd probably be able to break away and use it to our benefit. It's the same kind of magic I use, so I have a pretty good idea of how it works."

[hearted]

"All right, that's something." Minako pounded her fist in front of her palm in front of her. "So if we know anything about what they're capable of, if there comes a time when the time is right and maybe who could be wavering...."

She had an inkling now. It wasn't much comfort, but it helped a little.

[interstellarebels]

"Yeah, like, I won't lie - a lot of this is going to be opportunistic. Everything we're dealing with here is a new situation. Silver and I have never been around to help before, and neither have you guys."

[hearted]

"Good thing I usually improvise here and there! The best-laid plans are important, but they'll only get us so far." Minako nods to herself, already imagining how this might go down.

"We've just got to keep our heads together and everything'll be fine, right?"
