[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.]

I... think so, at least. Still myself enough to think I am. [The voice sounds like someone trying to think through a fog of exhaustion, like a person running on four days without sleep]
It's hard to think. I'm tired and my mind hurts. I had to fight hard to get out. Away from the praying.

But it left that bit of me there. That was a mistake. I'm... not easy to deal with. I don't think it expected fighting back.

You're probably expecting some big speech. But I don't remember much of it clearly. It's... images. Hazy. Anger. Frustration. I don't think I recognized you lot at first. I just knew it wasn't bloody right.

I am glad. To take your freedom and make you an unwilling puppet of the enemy...
The PRAYER dared to perform a deed worse than murder.

But I've lived with despair all my life. And I was stubborn. I don't think the broken king in the center knew what to do with something like me. And I had said I'd keep an eye on Kugimiya. Couldn't kill her.

I see. This is... hard to grasp.
[Sielje's legs feel uneasy, prompting her to pacing - something which she controls for the most part, for now.]
But I understand.

No. No, we cannot let that happen. You may say no. Others from Unity Group will surely support you.

Could tell them to go hang. But GRAVEYARD does good work. Would rather solve this reasonably. Too dizzy for arguing now.
From:
no subject
Do you intend to give yourself up to them on a later date? Because otherwise, you would tell them to "go hang" regardless. Just with a more diplomatic choice of words.

Yes. But no. More than one way to skin a cat, knight. I have my own chips to trade.

There was more. Can't recall now. Ugh.
