Re: VIOLETTE

[At 'St Germaine' you hear a dog bark. Violette pats her, hush.]

Any dragons?

Re: VIOLETTE

[paradigmish]

Hehe, do you mean Maria or a real one...~?

One dragon, taken down a peg by Maria but not killed as we escaped.

Re: VIOLETTE

[recycledhero]

[Oh that doesn't sound great]

It's still out there? Is it at least unable to follow you?

Re: VIOLETTE

[paradigmish]

If nothing else, it was significantly slowed down.

Re: VIOLETTE

[recycledhero]

Hmm. We may have to turn the dragon cage back on.

Re: VIOLETTE

[paradigmish]

... I'm sorry?

Re: VIOLETTE

[recycledhero]

There's a dragon cage in here. The dragon that was in it is dead now, but if there's more out there then we'll prepare accordingly.

Re: VIOLETTE

[paradigmish]

I see.

Well~ Puppy says there's maybe four left in the world, so...~ That's one down.

Re: VIOLETTE

[recycledhero]

Oh, excellent. One down, one maimed potentially on your trail, and two unaccounted for.

Re: VIOLETTE

[paradigmish]

Captain, are you perhaps lacking memories as well?

Re: VIOLETTE

[recycledhero]

[. . .]

Seems to be standard around here.

Re: VIOLETTE

[paradigmish]

So it seems~! Poor Eagle seems so stressed.

Would you tell me what happened over on Grenadine's end, Captain~?

Re: VIOLETTE

[recycledhero]

[Pretty sure Eagle hates her... Let's not get into that with a stranger.]

Want to swap stories? Grenadine awoke from our our pods in a storage container, with most of our memories lost, and made our way to Captain-General Eagle's command centre. She informed us that she'd lost communication with Vodka, who had been sent to find 'L-181'. I'd like to know if you ever found them.

Eagle ordered us to go find Kahlua somewhere in the base. Unfortunately, as soon as we entered the elevator to search the AI in control of the base, Titania, cut the line and the elevator crashed. She seems to have a grudge against us.

We continued to make our way through the base, searching through what little records remained and clearing infestations, until we found Kahlua. When the escaped dragon attacked, Kahlua shot herself in the back to take it down. We had to go through it's cage to get back, and get past Titania's turrets. But we managed to get Kahlua back for repairs.

What about you?

Re: VIOLETTE

[paradigmish]

Mm. I'm certain L-181 has been found, no worries.

[ maybe. ]

We awoke in our pods, as well, with our memories also deteriorated, it was all very inconvenient~... The puppy-- Vodka was there to pick us up. We were separated for a time when some sort of biomass attacked, continued through the facility, got some information from Maria through Absinthe's mind link or something of that nature, killed a handful of undead, collected some items on our way, found Maria and Vodka outside, Maria shot the dragon, and we escaped.

That all said, it seems like your team had quite the exciting time~

Re: VIOLETTE

[recycledhero]

...It kept things interesting.

I have several questions about your time. What sort of items did you find?

Re: VIOLETTE

[paradigmish]

Papers, books, CDs... things of that sort. We're going through them all soon.

Re: VIOLETTE

[recycledhero]

Can you let us know if you discover anything interesting?

Re: VIOLETTE

[paradigmish]

Such as?

I did find a portion of a fax regarding Project L-181, now that I think of it... ~

Re: VIOLETTE

[recycledhero]

We found something like that too... It said there were meant to be three pages, but we only had one that detailed the costs of a group called MSFC building one of the first dolls. It noted there was 'interference', but L-181 followed orders perfectly.

I'm also looking for information on what happened to the world. Any history on the war. Information on Commander Doruca.

We found articles talking about battles with something called the FVMG, so anything you hear on that too.

Oh, by the way, if you find any monitors on your way into the base, Titania's username is PELORU909 and her password is 'in her name'. I don't know if that will be useful, she might have changed it now, and we couldn't find any monitors in good enough condition to access anything. But you might have better luck.

Re: VIOLETTE

[paradigmish]

Mm, looks like we found the same paper.

We haven't gone through the other things just yet... but certainly I'll let you know~ I'm unsure we'll come upon any computers out in the woods but I'll keep that in mind.

[ a pause ]

Commander Doruca?

Re: VIOLETTE

[recycledhero]

I don't know about the woods, but you said you were coming back here so you might pass some on the way.

Commander Doruca was the original Commander that started everything, according to what Eagle said. But she didn't want to explain anything further.

Re: VIOLETTE

[paradigmish]

I'll be certain to keep an eye out.

... ahh, I see. In her name. ... mm. Perhaps I could ask Eagle later.

Re: VIOLETTE

[recycledhero]

I wish you better luck than me.

Re: VIOLETTE

[paradigmish]

Has she been rude with you...~? I'm very sorry.

[ with a soft laugh ]

I'll do my best, Captain.

Re: VIOLETTE

[recycledhero]

Mm, it's fine.

[Who cares if she's liked Violette doesn't care who would care about that, it's fine if Eagle insults and belittlers her she doesn't have real feelings to get hurt she's just a doll so it's fINE.

Her voice remains calm and unaffected.]

Did you have any other questions I might be able to help with?
