Linna, I want to take a case of 20 Heartstones. There's a lupus in Fluustern, Madenuuk, with a bunch of spirits of subjects from the facility escape. Aucupe is one of them, he made her a doll body with a Heartstone in it, but he only had two stones for I'm not sure how many girls. Is that okay?"

Andrew: Looks like all the cases are full. They must've kept themselves busy.

Linna: "Hm. I suppose twenty is not a big deal. Go ahead. You'll have to speak to Elizabeth after, though."

"Thank you. I expect as much, yes. I've got to speak to a great many people after this.
Maybe he'll even have some new information on Heartstone. At very least, he knows enough to make a doll that uses one."
> Notice Kleigg.
"There you are! A hell of a lot is what you missed. You're one to talk about flashy gear yourself. And uh, well, say hello to Lucida.
Who's your friend?"

Tabi: "Tabi Konai, construct tinkerer, I guess. I think we met back at the watchtower east of Teleiat, when it was still standing. You weren't wearing that armor back then.

This is, Lucida? The Lucida? Why are you using it? Wasn't it on a rampage?"

"Oh yes, we did meet! I've had a rough few days, forgive me.
Yes, yes, it's a very good sword, and it calmed down.

Can't say the exact details, but more or less I was lent Lucida to take out Project Heartstone."

Tabi: "Confidential, huh?

So what's Project Heartstone about? Didn't get much from the telepath other than it's some human experimentation place. Unless if that's confidential, too."

"The Lucida matter will most likely all come out once it's resolved, but until then... Sorry.

As for Heartstone, we're pretty much here to make it public. Human experimentation is a way to put it. They've done a good job of destroying everything that could give us a clue about the details, but what they definitely were doing is producing spirits with boatloads of magic built in, then binding them to bodies and writing their memories to be good little soldiers.
Not really that reprehensible I suppose, except that the big buildings on the surface were dorms full of girls "rescued" from breeders. I don't myself know the details of what they had to endure, but it was bad enough that they were all kept in cells under anti-magic fields to prevent escape.
They were also doing... something down here. Everything's been destroyed, but a suicide note from the director leads us to believe it was somehow several times worse than all the stuff with the human weapon girls.

What about you Kleigg, what's the story behind your armor? What've you two been up to? I don't think you ended up coming here after we met."

>Struggle to not appear completely dumbfounded by the pressence of Lucida.

"Well, Tabi, I guess that particular mission for the Spiral was rendered unnecessary. I'm quite happy about that.

My story is not very straightforward, but I can make an attempt. This is my associate Tabi, who has iron principles and is quick as a whip. She has a background in construct control that I think we will find extremely useful. The sword I carry is Hexestahl, containing the core of the witch queen Stahlnacht, who has been a faithful friend to us. Her core also currently contains Tabi's family, who are traveling with us for their safety. My armor, too, is witch metal - Stahlnacht has half-devoured me, and her flesh augments mine smoothly."


As he says "associate", Kleigg suppresses a grin.

"Ahh, sorry Kleigg, I think something's wrong with my armor, I heard you say you have a witch sword, and that Tabi's family was in it."
> Pop helmet open.
"What was that?"

"We could fire a projectile with a rune spell at the core, primed to detonate the instant it started getting farther from the leviathan's spirit. Could work if the position of its spirit is considered to be in the core, might need some testing. Would give us a good chance of hitting it. If it did work, we'd probably destroy the entire core, though. No risk, but nothing to bring home."

"Space-folding properties. You heard me correctly - they are literally inside my sword, and are currently establishing a farm.

I was given the blade in a dream. It positively reeks of prophecy, but I am unsure of what role to play."

"Alright, well, you win. I don't think I can compete with that.
What the hell have you been up to then? Running from the leviathan?"

"Vandolf didn't meet you to explain? We were investigating the watchtower via a special 'sarcophagus' interface, and something nasty broke containment."
