[Not too long ago the Command Car belonging to the 13th Genoace Team returned from parts unknown. Interestingly it seems to be festooned with rather ornate looking spears across its body. About a day or two ago Calvin figured he would try to follow up on one of the clues that the guidestone offered up.]
[While the team itself was no worse for wear, Calvin on the other hand looked like a half drowned rat when he stepped out of the car and was holding onto what looked to be an absurdly ornate egg carved out of solid gold, bearing a number of carvings depicting both death and rebirth.]
[Now sequestered back in his quarters, Calvin is huddled on his chair with a towel and a hot cup of coffee and trying to relax.]
-We hold power beyond imagination.-
-I hold the power to sift through dreams-
-I hold the power of life itself.-
Yes. I'm very sure the both of you do. Pipe down.
[And as it turns out the first artifact, a rather sinister looking mask as well as the egg could speak. And they are clearly not exactly the most benign of objects.]
-You cannot deny us forever.-
Please tell me we have soundproof boxes.

She glances at the mask and egg on the table, and her eyes glaze over. "Ooh...that looks pretty...!" she says, instinctively reaching a hand towards the mask.

The objects spoke.

No touching the potentially posessed and dangerous artifacts Dido.

She sets the package on Calvin's desk: its return address reads "40º Lat., 78.5º Long., Quicksilver Laser Array, Mercury". Dare you open it?
She pulls out a extendable probe and poke at the mask and egg from a safe distance. "So...do they give you evil superpowers?" She asks.

Sometimes they do. The more time you spend with these ones though the more easy it is to throw the compulsions off.
-You cannot resist us foreveeer-
Already said that.
[Calvin watches as the egg tips over onto the mask]
-Remove the round one from meeee.-
-Place me back into my proper positiooooon.-
...No. You two can just stay like that. And to answer your question Dido, probably. Nothing as extreme as being able to shoot eye lasers or regenerate from being exploded.
Most of their power's been linked to keeping a gate shut. Doesn't keep them from trying to get some schmuck to put them on though and-
[He glances at something on the package. Specifically the delivery date. That itself wasn't too troubling but something else occurred to him.]
Hey Dido... what's the date today?

[Sielje glances at the egg, then enters a staring contest with the mask.]
Do you really know all there is?
From:
no subject
[Calvin simply sighs, barely managing to stifle a sneeze before taking a mouthful of coffee. The mask simply stares back at Sielje with its empty eye holes. Yet despite this it would almost exude a chill in the air the longer it was stared at as well as a slight drowsiness.]
... I'm the last person anyone would say would know that much. My job's just to uncover truths... and believe me, there's probably a lot more than I can find in my lifetime.

[Calvin takes a deep breath.]
Okay... Calm down... still plenty of time before... need to make arrangements... call up... maybe that place at- No no... Star Rose is gone now. That plan's out... damnit.

[He gulps heavily, glancing at something hidden among the mess on his desk.]
I've got a two year anniversary coming up and with these two and the rest of everything happening I lost track of time.
[Calvin lets his head fall onto his desk with a thud, causing the egg to roll off the mask, onto the floor and into a corner.]
-Ooooooow.-
[Yes, it still spoke in that sinister and evil whisper when it said that.]
GOOD! YOU DESERVED THAT! Stupid golden egg. Dido. What's a good place to go for something like this. My first plan crashed into the Wulgaru so I need something just as good.

Also, never assume someone is dead unless you see their corpse... and if they are alive - make sure they them and not just a demon possessed corpse or some skin wearing monster.
