[A lot of things happened in the second foray into the dome under the Atlantic. But perhaps most interesting is that General Hetepheres brought something with her. Soon as the report was done, the whole place was a hubbub of activity, and maximum security measures were placed.
Because what was brought back appears to be an incapacitated PRAYER. One that looks something like this, and which the people in the mission swear is Kagura.
The thing makes no movement as it's placed under guard, behind steel walls and reinforced observation glass guard posts. It seems deactivated, and is only about half the size of a Genoace - positively tiny for a PRAYER. But nobody is taking any chances here.
However, it's severely resisting attempts at opening it for now. Whatever this thing is made of, it's going to take some serious explosives to get through it. And if the strike team are correct, Kagura is in there, somewhere, which kinda limits the more drastic options...]
[(This first prompt is for people to mingle and react to the mission, debrief, and fact that oh God we have a damn PRAYER in storage the guys at ESUN are going to flip their lid and who knows what GRAVEYARD is even going to say. And maybe suggest ideas to get through the Apostle.)]
[2 - A day later]
[The Apostle has been inert for a day already. Poking and prodding has led to nothing. And now it's late, and the guards are basically looking at it because it beats staring at the wall.
And so, there's some serious scrambling in surprise when the frame suddenly lights up. There's a sound like something being pulled, and the thing stands upright. All the guards and fire support get ready, aiming at the mysterious unidentified object as lines appear where there were none, and the center coffin starts opening.
And from it falls... what looks like a Spirit Kernel. A female, featureless, blue energy humanoid, that falls forward and lands on one knee, looking exhausted. Heatless flame seems to crackle around her, much like the core of Scarlet Queen so long ago. She turns shining eyes on the closes guard aiming at her, holding her own head as if having a terrible headache.]
Stop that before you hurt yourself, Williams. You're more of a danger to yourself than me with a shotgun. [The voice is strange, with a low reverb - but behind that, it sounds about what someone might sound like after running a marathon with a broken leg] Someone get me some warmth. I'm exhausted.
[Soon after, some heating is arranged. The humanoid figure lays down, immobile and resting. If anyone wants to try talking to it, before anyone else, now's a perfect chance.]

...Okay, so...how are we going to kill this thing?
From:

[Izuru flaps his arms furiously, like a bird learning to fly.]
Major Kagura is inside!
From:
no subject
Did she tell you she was in there? Did it write her name? Did it do a song and dance only Kagura would know?
From:

Did you read this report? This is a PRAYER we're talking about here, not a dog or a cat. It's a regenerating monster that can level cities. Just because it doesn't kill you right now doesn't make it your friend.

That shot it took-so what? Even if that would kill it, how do you know that would keep it dead when those things keep crawling back all the time?
How do you know it's not just playing nice so it can kill everyone later?

I trust Major Kagura.

[Jen slams those papers down on the table.]
You don't get to undo death just because you miss someone! People don't come back because we want them to!
Good people, living people, are going to die because of this, do you understand!?
From:

And... I am not saying not to be careful. But if it's really the major, do you want to kill her?
From:
1/2
[As for the second question...Jen has to think for a bit.]
From:
2/2
...She killed herself to stop her from turning into a PRAYER, and here's the PRAYER she turned into, so...I don't see why we shouldn't kill it. Kagura would have killed it, too.
...It's just like that thing with Seta.
From:
no subject
And that's why... that's why I can't just kill her. Or sit down and do nothing while others kill her.
I know it's not my choice to make, but...
[Well, neither is Jen's, is it?]
I'll be careful, okay? If it tries anything, if it turns out the PRAYER is hostile... but I need to be sure.
