'ey Doc. Got back late las' night. Uh. Dun think me an' my buddies 'ave got anythin' but bad news fer ya.

Spoilers, yer tappin' inta the twelve dimensions. Not directly, but Ehren remembered me like she'd 'ad a really awful dream and kicked me in the face. If Spooky's already told you their bad news, we only got one more ta go! This shit comes in threes after all.

Bad news the third I guess.

Ya were probably possessed by the Barian Scythe. I got a few working theories on the current reasons why or how this might have affected you. Nothing concrete. Uh, might have to be a trial and error... sort of... thing?

[Somewhere, Kaz scowls at this being so open.]

[thestudyof]

...

Well, you might as well say what these theories are, if this is going to be put out there.

[ogrewarrior]

No, no. I like leaving people hanging.

[Private to Mamoru]

It's, uh. I don't want to throw out false hope for people. So, uh. I'd... like to see if Scythe is... in your log...?

[Private Thread]

[thestudyof]

In my log?

And why would this be a "false hope" for anyone?

[tachyonparticle]

This is... About that AI machine, correct?

... Whatever it is must've improved since I went against it.

[azuremagma]

Yeah, it was indistinguishable from a real scrap.

[tachyonparticle]

Maybe I should try it again...

[thestudyof]

Rejected.

[the8thmonarch]

What's all this then?

[azuremagma]

Dun tell me.

Yer signing OOPARTS paychecks, ain'tcha.

[the8thmonarch]

Oh look, the monkey made of fireballs has learned two plus two.

[azuremagma]

Yer twin sister kinda kept 'er nose outta this stuff an' it was fine.

[ogrewarrior]

Side project of mine I got interested in after our conversation yesterday.

Lemme see if I can explain. Mamoru's got a machine that makes dark games, essentially. Pretty real stuff. He's tapping into the 12 Dimensions SOMEHOW and he was possessed by a Barian.

[the8thmonarch]

You're fucking kidding me.

[ogrewarrior]

I don't really kid about work, ma'm.

[handofaegis]

... Did something happen?

I think I'm lost.

[ogrewarrior]

Nothing very important.

[handofaegis]

It looks important to me!

... Oh, wait, I get it. It's about that guy that looks exactly like Scythe that Kai mentioned before!

[ogrewarrior]

His name's Mamoru. It's... a long story as to how we got here.

[the_ebbandflow]

... Looks like a lot more was happening apart from the duels with Mr. Yamada's machine, huh?

[ogrewarrior]

Yeah, it's... quite a bit.

[the_ebbandflow]

Well, I dunno how relevant this is, but, uh.

I dueled Beagalltach with his system. As in... the actual Beagalltach.

[ogrewarrior]

That... might be pretty relevant, yeah.

...So, yourself in a manner of speaking...?

[forgottenfrozenfloe]

The machine's Ai tried to shoot me in the face.

[ogrewarrior]

They tried to sacrifice me to summon their god.

I think we may have gotten the short end of the stick on scenarios.
