[Day 2, EE] Eternal Questions (Xal's Lab)

[Raela Ausar]

BESIDES THE- no, no, now's not the moment to freak out. I bet we'd find more kriffing details on the planet...

She pushed down her anger at the dismissal for the second time that day and turned her attention to the data, as well.

[Dapper Dog]

She brought up a holographic display of her research and said, “This is what I have, partial data, one hundred thirty six pages worth and an additional notes and comparison to related or similar rituals. It may take some time to make sense of it.”

OOC: Hard Lore check with two setbacks dice to make sense of it.

[Xal Kimlya]

Xal adjusted his goggles and looked over the information. "GR8-1, could you cross reference with our data to see if it can provide any additional insight?"

"I think I've found something."

"Yes, we may have something." Xal agreed.

[Raela Ausar]

Raela takes a look over the data on her own, cross-checking with Xal's data.

"Yeah, I see what you're saying..."

[Dapper Dog]

They can see the basic meaning of the ritual and well it is complex and seems to to encompass a lot of moving pieces but also a great deal of dark Side energy. This can be done through a powerful individual or by spreading a great deal of misery.

Xal can notice a pattern, a leap of logic that much of the chaos of the last few days and the Night of terrors could be more pieces of the ritual still going… [Triumph]

[Xal Kimlya]

"The nature of the ritual, how it collects dark side energy, it could already be happening." he suggested.

[Raela Ausar]

She looked over to him, nodding. "... Yes. I know he's continuously collecting energy from people around him. It would make sense."

[Dapper Dog]

"Collecting energy? You mean the Night of Terrors?" she said.

[Xal Kimlya]

"Yes." he nodded. "Either a new ritual has started or the old one is continuing."

[Raela Ausar]

"I mean often, if not constantly," she said, turning away from the screen for a moment. "As well as the Night of Terrors. He was doing it during his arrival, but more subtly."

[Dapper Dog]

"I mean often, if not constantly," she said, turning away from the screen for a moment. "As well as the Night of Terrors. He was doing it during his arrival, but more subtly."

She was intrigued and said, “What did you see?”

[Raela Ausar]

Oh, you take me seriously when I'm BRING UP OTHER PEOPLE'S INFORMATION ARRRRGHRGHGHGRGH...

I hate everyone.

How much would Ilar hate her for taking credit for what he saw, even if he never said it? People shouldn't work off false information. But revealing him could potentially bring danger.

Her jaw worked briefly before she just continued, "He's like a black hole, or a void... or just... living hunger. He sucked in all light and life around him. Everyone who was deeply affected when he arrived looked diminished from it, and looked as though they had red strings attached to them that led back to him."

She pressed her lips together. What Ilar'shala had described was a monster she neither wanted to be nor be eaten by.

[Xal Kimlya]

"I didn't see that, myself. " Xal added. "But, his influence over the masses was undeniable. It was far spread, too, felt in the promenade and beyond."

[Dapper Dog]

“So the obvious the Emperor is planning to devour all life in the galaxy so wrap your heads around that before we move on,” she said casually.

[Xal Kimlya]

"Clearly, the sooner we figure this out the better." Xal kept studying the data.
