The Dead Bookworm [closed to volunteers]

Deadly phantoms are attacking the ship, nightmares are turning into daymares, and people are being caught by the Nightmare King's traps even when they're awake. The captain has put the ship on red alert and called together the Magical Department, the Security teams, and the bridge crew.

The Daligig have directed the crew towards two archives that ( Read more... )

The archive looks like a tunnel underground, that leads to a wide open cavern ahead.

Daimon gazed down the tunnel. He frowned and rubbed his brow. The psychic vibrations had reached a frightening intensity. "Have we all assembled? Are we ready?"

Jamie looked strung-out and apprehensive as he peered into the tunnel. He shrugged uneasily, flicking a glance in Daimon's direction. "Ready as I'm gonna be."

Indigo stares down the tunnel. "All of my systems are within acceptable parameters." She glances at Daimon and the others. "I will go in first. I'm an android, after all. It would be easier to repair me than it would one of you."

She doesn't seem to be particularly bothered by the situation. Indigo's keeping a tight bottle on her emotions, now more than ever. Besides, she's never been claustrophobic.

Rei peered down the tunnel, more then a little apprehensive. His back hurt whenever he breathed, the scratches still not fully healed, and he was pretty shaken up, emotionally. He'd begun to realize just how dangerous the ship was, and it actually scared him.

He sighed, and said, as casually as he could in his current mental state "Well, we might as well do this thing." He could only hope that his visions would warn him of any danger.

"No," Daimon said to Indigo. "I will go first. I have a sixth sense of sorts, for these matters, furthermore I heal faster than most. I will lead."

"Makes sense to me," Jamie murmured, glancing to the rest of the group for their opinion.

"Fine," She says, walking down first anyway. "However, I'm more durable. And I have highly advanced sensors and force shields." Indigo purposefully places herself in the middle of the tunnel as she walks, to make it that much harder to shove past her. "And, finally, I am more expendable. If you are concerned about attacks, take up the rear and make sure nothing is sneaking up on us."

"We do not have time for this. None of us are expendable. Step aside." Grasping his trident firmly, Daimon lifted himself into the air to barrel past Indigo.

Indigo glares and, with a frustrated wave of her hand, creates a glowing, pink force shield in front of Daimon as she continues to walk, faster now, down the hall. "We are when we're androids and can be repaired with ease. Watch the back."

She's not going to take 'no' for an answer on this, it seems.

And he collided with that shield.

"We have no time for your self absorbed bravado. FINE! Go first, android, but I will be behind you. And if I seize you and pull you aside or shout you WILL listen to me."

Indigo comments not on the Daimoncakes she may or may not have just made.

"Fine. Be more concerned about those behind us, however." She glances back. "They are not as durable."

Jamie lets out a quiet sigh as he starts forward, trying hard to rein in the irritation he feels welling up. With everything that's going on right now he is, for lack of a better word, cranky, but he still has sense enough to know that snapping at people - especially these people - won't accomplish anything useful. "Okay, so 'f that's all settled...should we get going now?" he asks, gesturing down the tunnel ahead of them.

"He's right," Rei said, nodding at Jamie. "We've got a job to do, let's not turn it into a pissing contest." His voice had an edge to it that he rarely used. His back was hurt, he was confused, and the arguing was annoying him. He wanted to get this over with.

The tunnel is devoid of any traps or anything that would have made Daimon and Indigo's arguing worth it. Possibly, it had done so on purpose.

The cavern at the other end is vaguely circular, with faintly glowing archways evenly spaced around the outside. Their tunnel connects to the cavern under one of those archways, but all of the others seem to be blocked off. Wide shallow stairs, edged with the same faintly glowing stone, lead down from the archways toward the center of the room. To either side of each of those sets of stairs are platforms surfaced with a substance that resembles the fleshy couches on the Obs Deck.

In the center of the room, there is a circular platform of white stone that reaches to about the mid-thigh of an adult human male and is about twenty-five feet across. A light -- the only one in the room, aside from the glowing stones -- shines down on the platform.

Other than that, the room appears empty.

"Fascinating." That's all Indigo has to say. The concerns of her 'team' are ignored, further conversation would just incite more arguments. She heads down the stairs and examines the stone, ignoring the platforms for now. She opens up her hand, then really opens it, separating several sections of her hand and fore-arm and expanding it to reveal sensors and other odd objects.

"At first glance, I would guess that this would be how we access Stacy's archives. Interesting, that she'd display it like this." She holds her hand close to the stone. "I do not yet know how to access it, however."
