Fenrir's Maw – Meeting Room
The Twins had a chill down their spine that caused them both to look around slightly but they kept their heads down. Slowly they felt it pass, but that was after Qingshe spoke to Navir about acting like her race or something to that effect. Holly had a singular point that she felt adversely afraid of whatever that was. Lloyd had a different reaction, but he was quite pacified from no longer trying to be on anyone's bad side since he spoke enormously disrespectfully towards the meeting. All the while, they don't know who caused them to have the chill down their spines but it was scary or disturbing nonetheless.
Holly kept her head down on the table by still holding her head since she still has an enormous migraine. In addition, Holly noticed that Mike responded to Navir's strike by turning into a black-furred creature, like a
werewolf or something close resembling something like that.
'What's that all about?' Holly thought to herself. She required some relief from it by whatever medication is on hand by any of the others that wasn't Qingshe. Holly turned her head and noticed something off with Clarissa in how she reacted to the song that is. She was utterly confused about what was happening to her, but what happened afterwards was like Clarissa put herself back together or whatever that slime was. Therefore, Clarissa approached her and her brother and pulling out two injection vials. Holly blinked slightly for a second, until Clarissa mentioned precisely what it is used for. A Pain nullifier and possibly for the spiritual backlash of magically charged opposite bloods.
"T-Thank you, Clarissa, you are such a life savor." Holly said, smiling. She graciously took one of the two injection vials and followed the instructions that were on the vial to inject it into herself. It worked quickly in helping give her the relief she required since it was heavily jarring on her entirely.
Lloyd was thinking internally while keeping his head down on the table, but he wasn't happy with the predicament with being in so much pain. He didn't even have any energy to argue with his sister since they've do that much of the time as it is. It didn't take too long for him to recognize the same thing that Holly saw with Clarissa in how she reacted to the song. Lloyd didn't pay it too much mind since it was strange but Clarissa was strange, generally. He noticed when Clarissa approach them and pulling out two injection vials and could tell from a glance it was to help with pain and something else, but didn't quite get it what the other thing was. Until Clarissa mentioned it was for spiritual backlash and he smiled slightly since they needed relief from the backlash.
"I agree with my sister. Thank you, Clarissa." Lloyd said. He hardly ever agrees with his sister but this is one of the few times he is 100% in agreement since a pain nullifier and a spiritual backlash reducer is a medical wonder of anything and incredibly rare. As such, he injected himself with the other vial to feel much better than he had felt when the song was sung by Micheal.
Holly recognized Alice's Guitar, which she was gently touching the string. She always was fascinated with what kind of music Alice played but she didn't understand musical genres, but Alice's take on magic is musical in nature. All the while, her magic is based on education by knowing the differences between what's taught in the Enigmatic Sect Dimension and what's on the outside. She does like some musical soundtracks when she is cooking in the Fenrir's Dining Hall, but some of them are lighter tunes that are upbeat since her brother puts on songs that feel quite how he truly feels. It's odd, that his musical choices are between rock or metal bands that interest him more, but all those musical bands have something in common, they have an edge to them.
Lloyd always is amazed to see Alice's Metal Rock Guitar and is a bit awed to see the touching of the strings. He enjoys metal bands but he doesn't remember much of that being done in the Enigmatic Sect Dimension. His favorite genres are the rock genre or metal, but that's when they started to move around in reality after escaping the Enigmatic Sect Dimension. However, his sister's taste in music is uplifting and has no edge to them. Lloyd isn't going to try to lecture Holly on the fundamentals of music, someone who is more knowledgeable in that field would be better. He does know that in a private setting, Holly does listen to some music that contrasts with how she usually is, but it's usually music that heavily inspires her to create or heavily inspires to ensure she's always smiling. He goes with the flow of music, but that's about it. He doesn't feel anything but that's how he's able to complete his contract work on time since it gives him something to do while working.
Holly slowly rose her head off the table and sat down more comfortably with the correct posture, but looked slightly around. She listened to what Clarissa had to say to the others, the captain, etc. It didn't take to long for Izaroth to put his cents in since he reacted similarly to Alice, it seemed. However, the difference between the two is one is a cyborg and the other is a human. Izaroth basically mentioned that the song was not even a whisper, but it made her feel relieved that she won't have to be the one to carry the Gem of Desire. She wanted to say something on that subject but she would rather not speak right now.
'I'll just sit here and listen to everyone chat among themselves. Unless I am spoken too.' Holly thought to herself. She wanted to get passed that her brother almost died to pissing off Azeal, since if he got him anymore angrier it would be a literal bloodbath in Fenrir's Maw's Meeting Room.
Lloyd did much the same as his sister but more slowly since he didn't much look around, because he's on thin ice as it is. He listened to everyone talking about certain things, including how only two people didn't react at all to the song. Those were Izaroth and Alice, but a human should've possibly reacted Lloyd wondered about that but understood that Izaroth was a Cyborg. Izaroth's input on he didn't even hear it as a whisper meant something good for him and his sister. They have more people that could hold the Gem of Desire without having any ill effects. Lloyd looked towards his sister and noticed that she wasn't adding onto the conversation, probably slightly scared he wouldn't blame her.
'Hmm, I wonder when this is going to get a bit more interesting than what's happening now.' Lloyd thought to himself. He wondered when the captain would speak about certain things.
Holly heard the Captain's apology towards everyone and gently smiled towards him. She than heard the EDI, the AI of the Fenrir's Maw speak in concert, mentioning what everyone knew. Holly registered Qingshe protesting a bit towards Micheal and adding on a thick tease towards him too. It felt correctly but it confused her slightly more about what Qingshe meant. However, it mentioned how to lessen the effects of the Gems of Desire on the entire crew that had adverse effects. Holly was a slightly bit like confused in what that precisely meant, but the more tech savvy crew probably knew what that meant, like her brother for instance. She went with the flow but if there was a counter or a lessening of those effects in mean easier transporting of the Gem of Desire. Especially, if the real thing would be ten times worse. It terrified her what that would mean for her Nephilim blood or mental state.
'If the AI got it covered and everyone else, like Alice and others that would mean the best case.' Holly thought to herself. She had a smile on her face to have something good come from the meeting, despite the song's potency on her and her twin brother. Also, another voice entered the room, which was the Fenrir's Maw's Pilot saying they were approaching Fubakfen. Holly gasped slightly at hearing that, it means the meeting went on far longer than usual.
Lloyd felt a genuine feeling of wanting to apology by Micheal for singing that song and how he reacted towards Navir. He made a mental note of what he looked like since probably earlier his sister took note and was confused to what Micheal was. In addition, Qingshe decidedly spoke towards the Captain giggling in mock offense and it seems as if Qingshe is additionally another to the immunity team or something to that affect. Lloyd felt like Qingshe enjoys teasing others, since she did tease Micheal too. Including the confidence that the Artificial Intelligence had a solution on lessening the effects of the Gem of Desire. Lloyd felt the confidence in what the AI was speaking about but the Gems of Desire was too dangerous to go near if it's much worse than just a song. He knew that certain people would volunteer the chance to properly help combat the song, if it means a safer journey.
'I'm quite impressed with the AI's Confidence. Though I think this was a top-of-a-line ship once upon a time.' Lloyd thought to himself. He didn't know how much time passed but the intercoms turned on and the spaceship's pilot mentioned that they were approaching the destination. He heard his sister gasp at hearing the intercoms and shrugged his shoulders. It has been a long meeting despite everything else.
Internally, Holly felt relief when she heard the words of
meeting adjourned from Micheal and about on how to decide the action after retrieving it. Holly heard him mention that she wants Izaroth and Alice to hold the Gems since they are unaffected by it. She shivered down her spine when he said
pointless deaths and seeing that smirking bitch again and that means that scientist was a mega bitch or something towards Micheal. It didn't take long for him to stand up from his seat and then ask the AI to scan for the location of the Gem and EDI vanished from the meeting room. She stayed in her seat even if the meeting was adjourned there were going to be some people against entirely adjourning the meeting or adding onto the parameters of the severity of the planet in question. Also, she noticed Qingshe had a frown, unlike herself who was smiling happily about having the meeting adjourned.
Internally, Lloyd took note of hearing Micheal mention that the meeting adjourned and that they needed to prepare to finally take action. Especially, since Izaroth and Alice were unaffected by the song or the gems. He couldn't help but feel some resentment in Micheal's voice when he said,
smirking bitch again. Taking mental notes to ensure that his sister lives if someone suggests something about the surveillance for the planet as a whole. Also, Micheal stood up and asked the AI to scan for the gem. He stayed in his seat like his sister, since it wouldn't be wise to get up right now. As anything of note, Navir mentioned that she'll be removing herself from any task that involves the gems. Understandable, since he would probably say the same thing but better not to add onto the entirety, since Azeal hasn't said anything yet or Alice.
'Hmm.' Lloyd thought to himself.
Speak of the Devil, Azeal was deep in thought until he stood up and mentioned a specific problem. The Spacestation Orbiting Fubakfen, the SPA's Spacestation. He mentioned the problems of said feat of getting past the station if they can't detect them, but they will 100% detect them when they set foot on the planet. Everyone was even involved in what he mentioned, Izaroth, Alice, and Qingshe put their two cents in on how to bypass or disable their security. Even the Spacestation was pretty big in orbit of the planet, according to the Hologram that Azeal showed. The twins had a feeling that Azeal was going to split the Fenrir's Maw into two groups, one to infiltrate the station and the other to retrieve the gem on the planet's surface. However, Qingshe had a genius way of mentioning and showing data chips specifically for Izaroth and Clarissa. It was to spread viruses in SPA Systems to confuse and distract from what they are doing on the planet. Also, mentioning EMPs, since would be useful to disable things too.
It didn't take too long for Holly to realize that her name was mentioned by Azeal the part of the infiltrate team for the Spacestation. Holly gasped slightly but separating the tasks will make it much easier for the ground-based team to have an easier time.
"How long do we have to prepare for the infiltration of the space station, Azeal?" Holly asked, curiously towards him. She wanted to be absolutely prepared for this mission since she wouldn't want to fail Micheal's crew since they didn't have that many hard missions lined up, unlike this one. It would be absolutely tough since it seems like Azeal would be doing this to keep an eye on them as much as keeping them away from the Gem's actual influence. Holly felt it was the case since who else was going to help her from making any reckless decisions besides her brother? She always had been slightly reckless even if she was trying to change her bad habits.
"Also, I suppose it means we have a timetable of getting out while we hold the SPA at bay too? The Calvary you so said, Azeal." Holly said.
Lloyd instantly knew what this is about since Azeal probably wanted to
speak to him in a mutual understanding type of way. He would probably be slightly punished for his outright disrespect in the meeting because of this but he and his sister are vulnerable to the Gem of Desire as much as the other two. He sighed when Holly asked her questions about Azeal. She only asks questions when she knows there's combat involved, her brain switches to combat-focused all the time and it is slightly irritating.
"Alright, I understand why you would split up everyone. Since it's easier to have a smaller team infiltrating a space station and having the larger one dealing with the ground landing mission and retrieving the gem." Lloyd said, in agreement with the splitting up of the forces. He looked directly at his sister and sighed.
"Holly, I know you want the timetables, but it would be better to figure out, which roles we are going to have on the infiltration team for the Spacestation. Instead of going for broke and trying to gun hoe on the SPA within the Spacestation. Since I feel like killing SPA members would cause problems as much as getting caught." Lloyd said. He saw simplistic problems with how Holly works, but to ensure not to cause any harm since it would be better to simply knock out the SPA and make them unable to remember they were there would help much.
Holly gasped to hear her brother speak soundly since yeah, that would be a problem and unironically was in agreement with her brother mentioning that precise thing.
"Yeah, it would be nice to know that too. Supposedly, we are meant to knock out any SPA we find on the Spacestation without killing them. Okay, I got my idea of what I am supposed to do even though I trust that you'll support me brother, Azeal, and Navir?" Holly asked, smiling. She was grateful that her brother put her in the right direction on precisely what to do on the space station. In all honesty, the infiltration mission means so much for this retrieval job, even if she doesn't trust the one that put them on this mission, Vivian specifically. It's too good to be true and that's what she feels in her bones.
Lloyd smiled at Holly understanding what he meant without any jabs at each other since they've been getting chased down by those who absolutely wrecked the Enigmatic Sect Dimension, the Seraph Angel of Justice, their grandmother, and the
so-called Demonic King of Injustice, which is their grandfather. At least, not by bounty hunters more like
spies since those two want to finish those who know of the massacre at their hands.
"Yes, why wouldn't I? It was my sight that saved you after all during that unwinnable scenario. Even though, this is a different scenario. Might as well ask, do the SPA have anything of note in terms of weapons that are particularly dangerous, Azeal?" Lloyd asked. He didn't quite read up on the
weapons that the SPA usually deploy on hunting for poachers that try to poach creatures on it. Though it is an X-Class Planet nonetheless, they would probably have to have some heavy hardware to keep the planet protected from poachers.
Holly was happy to hear her brother's support on the space station, but the mention of weapons meant something to her. If it wasn't for Lloyd's sight of the Ethereal weapons, she would be in so much more pain and suffering, and those weapons that the angels and demons used on her with her armor were quite dangerous. She waited for a response from Azeal on the weapons, hopefully, she won't have to face
anti-angelic weapons, but the weapons in Reskhold Galaxy are terrifying nonetheless, Plasma-Based weapons, etc. It caused her to gulp slightly meaning she'll have to be careful on that space station and not get too over her head. Holly did see a Plasma-Based Shotgun in action when there was a stand-off on the world previously they visited, before Micheal's home.
