Twenty-fifth Awakening [Spero action log for PIRAAATES]

[nomnomguts]

[Riful's in the university, in the very back, exploring the lab.  This sort of building she didn't recognize, but laboratories held a special place in her memories.  Not a very nice place, at that, but oh, their results were so useful and it wasn't like she was going to complain, after all these years...

The first thing she'd picked up was-- a

[University]

[likelightfire]

[Hikaru had been wondering around the University, but it was all classrooms with rolls of desks everywhere she looked. She managed to find some blank papers though, and she takes it with her, clipped in a textbook.

Walking down the hallway, she noticed that the chains to the laboratory have already been removed, and she peeked in curiously. By then, the message that had been playing had almost ended, and all she could catch was the last part "Trial 15 -- Success!"

Even more curious this time, she walked into the room, and glances around at the blueprints around the on the walls. She pointed towards one, and spoke.]

What do you think those are for?

[University]

[nomnomguts]

[Oh hello company! Riful glanced back, surprised to see someone else, but...]

Goodness, I really couldn't say. It's also a bit like a boat, isn't it? With wings...

Or a tree, perhaps! [Obviously she doesn't have a clue what she's talking about. XD;]

[University]

[princessofmoe]

...Hikaru. Riful. Hello.

[Rika's voice piped up. She was standing near the doorway, having soundlessly stepped in some time after Hikaru. Creeper. She had heard the sound of the recording and found herself led into the room.]

What was that I heard awhile ago? ..."Trial 15", was it.

[University]

[nomnomguts]

[Riful turns-- just a little too quickly-- at the sound of Rika's voice. Maybe see how her shoulders relax too.]

Yes, that was it. Would you like to see?

[University]

[princessofmoe]

[She nods, walking a little closer. Oh, and she has her backpack and a mop hefted over her shoulder. Her weapon of choice, along with a knife concealed with her somewhere.]

Mii. Yes, please. It might be something important.

[University]

[dreamermoa]

[BOING BOING ITS A TIGGER MOA~!]

Did you find something? What is it? Should we take it back?

[University]

[nomnomguts]

[Ahhhh well so much for stealing it and bringing it back to Cecil. Riful glances over at Moa-- who she recognized, somewhat, from the ship.]

Oh, I don't rightly know myself. [She pulls the clunky communicator (a little reluctantly) from her bag, and holds it out to whoever wants to scoop it up first.] Does this mean anything to you?

Re: [University]

[princessofmoe]

[Every piece of information could be important, so Rika wastes no time in taking the old communicator in her tiny hands. She fiddles with it for a moment before flicking on the small switch and holds it out so the others could watch the video replay itself to the very end.]

"Trial 15-- success!"

. . .

[Rika remains quiet for a moment after the video ends. There is something on her mind after watching that apple disappear, but she rarely verbalizes her thoughts to just anyone. She simply places the communicator back in Riful's hands and goes off to roam the rest of the area...]

[University]

[dreamermoa]

[Sorry Riful, Moa is annoyingly chirpy and also wants to get everything into the public inventory. XD

She watches with Rika, curious. Fascinated, in fact. She is quiet as well after the video.]

They made it...go somewhere else?

[University]

[likelightfire]

[Hikaru watches along with the rest of them. She could be seen with a frowning face after the video ended.]

How?

[University]

[dreamermoa]

[Moa stares at the device for a few more moments, frowning. Thinking.]

They did it to us. [...] Didn't they? They put us here, from our homes....

[Of course, they're not apples...]

[University]

[nomnomguts]

[Riful studies the communicator... and then back to the devices on the walls, blueprints, directions, and wonders-- when did the human race become so very troublesome?]

Hmm, what do you suppose they used to do that?

[Picking up... another thingdoodle from the table. This one she puts in her bag. Someone else can have a look at it later.]

[University]

[princessofmoe]

[Rika is still nearby, her gaze settled upon dozens of blueprints covering the walls.]

That is what I want to know. Whatever they used, is it still here? We should look around some more.

[She doesn't understand any of the devices and the blueprints. She's no scientist. But, maybe there is someone else that can. Climbing onto a desk, she reaches to take blueprint off from the wall.]

[University]

[dreamermoa]

[Moa takes the old comm in her hands and turns it over, inspecting it. Looks pretty much like theirs, except old, yep.]

Maybe it's in this building somewhere. [...] Maybe we can use it to get people home.

[She looks at them, then at the device again.]

We should bring all this back to the others.

[University]

[princessofmoe]

Nn. [Rika makes a small sound of agreement. Although, she's not quite interested in using the machine to simply bring them back home. Not everyone desired to leave. She has other things in mind, but she's not ready to express her thoughts just to anyone.]

...I agree. [She's already started taking down blueprints and will most likely go for a few little devices too. Whatever she's able to carry. She puts on an innocent smile, replacing her serious expression. Oh, she'll happily carry these. And maybe try to keep some of the things for herself for the time being.] I am going to help with the carrying! Ni-paa~!

[University]

[nomnomguts]

Goodness, that sounds like quite the idea! [And joining in on the blueprint-pulling and device-taking. None of these are going to end up in the communal stash, sorry.]

I do hope someone will be able to make something out of these when we get back.
