THEORY & CONCLUSION↴ At the midnight between Day 109 and Day 110, something happens. For most people, it won't be clear what - yet, they are shaken by it just the same. Violent tremors appear out of nowhere, rattling the entirety of the Polar station, violent enough to throw sleeping test subjects off their bunks. The source is unclear, but there is a sudden flurry of activity from staff as power flickers and is lost in various parts of the facility. Subjects, for the most part, will be left to their cells while they try to sort things out. The next morning, the staff are late picking people up. It's more like 6:30AM than the usual 6AM when they arrive to take people to the farm, which is a bit of tardiness that is entirely without precedent. Any questions about the incident the previous night will be waved off with the explanation of 'technical difficulties' that have been 'resolved.' ► DELTA: The three new Deltas will be left in their cells for even longer, waiting to be picked up, instructed that they would be escorted elsewhere instead of to the farm. Around 6:45AM some unfamiliar technicians will arrive and tell them that they are here to begin their processing into Delta. They are led into a previously untouched section of the station, where they are invited into a somewhat more intimate medical room to be asked some cursory questions and given a check up. Then, their suits will be removed, and they will be provided with their new uniforms, which they can apply like normal clothes. Delta life begins there. There will be a top level for the initial parts of their processing to be played out. Ultimately, however, they will end up being given a tour of the new Delta facilities, which amounts to a waterfront area that borders the new apartments they'll be staying in, as well a small supply shop where they can pick up an allotted amount of 'amenities' per day, based on their level of productivity and other achievements. This includes luxury items like food, pleasant smelling soaps, or other hygiene related tools. There are even small things like decorations or pictures of other places available, though they are fairly expensive. The first day will mostly involve the processing, a tour, and some basic training regarding the new tools they will be using, such as the mandatory visors and basic computer access. The next day, observation shifts in the farm will start, as will participation in trials. ► FARMING: The Farm will continue as normal, though it seems like there are fewer staff observing it at the moment. The ones that are there seem a little bit more tense than usual. Power is still down in some places, but the Farm is thankfully still active. Sometimes the productivity turn-in scanners might be a bit glitchy, so try not to panic if it measures fewer points than you're due. ► TRIALS: Trials are continuing as projected, though with the most broad of experiments already under way, they may be more selective. If you have an idea for a trial you can be sure to share it with the staff, and they will take it under advisement! Any information you want to provide is encouraged, they will say, especially if it involves notable traits about you or your fellow test subjects - or perhaps behavioral patterns you've noticed. You might even be rewarded! |
no subject
His gaze wanders around. He remembers in Eden her information transfer went one way, but the truth is it's more than he needs to tell her things. "Is it okay to tell you things?"
no subject
The truth is, Rita doesn't know if it's okay for Yuya to tell her things. At least, not out loud. But that still leaves them with an option... Idly, she reaches to her shoulder and scratches it, just where the feathers stick out from under her uniform. This worked with Lambert, so it better work now. She pulls one feather loose and focuses without looking at it, imbuing it with a message.
Her info-transferring power can work in two ways now. If she's nearby, Yuya can put his own message into an enchanted object.
In addition... she talked to Gongenzaka today. Sort of. He mentioned an 'ally'. Is that what this is about?
That's all she'll include before brushing the feather and flicking it away from her shoulder, as one might with a piece of lint. In the same moment, she'll give her wings a brief flap, as if merely trying to loosen them up after standing still for so long... to create enough motion in the air to direct the feather to him.
no subject
"Mmhmm--" he makes an affirmative sound, looking at the feather. If she's nearby, he can do that? So he tries to focus on putting the information in, hoping he'll be able to tell that it works.
Her name is Gild, someone who knows Ignatius well and is with the Summerland Fae. She wants to get them all out of here, but they need to help her. She has someone already inside, ready to move when they can give her the go ahead. And they need to find Ignatius for sure.
To do that they have a mark that grants magic from her. Fire, light, enhancements, and finding things.
Yuya has that mark, and he can give it to someone else.
If he feels it work, he brushes his fingers over the feather before looking back at Rita. More specifically, Rita's visor.
He leans forward a little holding the feather down and close to her hand as he points with his other hand to make her look elsewhere--at the trial postings. "So can I ask you about the trial?'
no subject
That's a hell of a revelation, but Rita manages to keep from showing much surprise on her face, and instead follows Yuya's gesture to the trial postings.
"...You can ask, but I might not answer."
no subject
He tries to push the feather back into her hand. If she has anything to tell him, now's as good a chance as any.
no subject
But as she does, she focuses on the feather and imbues it with some more information.
She tells him a bit about Delta. About the visors, how she can see everyone's classifications and some basic information, as well as a map of the entire facility. How they have access to a larger area. She'll push forward the image of their leisure area, the massive fountains. Maybe they can use the reflective surface to travel through...?
She has an idea of where Ignatius is, but it's not easily accessed. Maybe she can figure something out.
As for 'Gild'... the Gilded Mark, she assumes, Rita's prepared to work with her. Having a true fae on their side is a valuable asset. She wonders, though... what does Yuya intend to do with that mark?
no subject
Yuya pauses, and then focuses on putting one image in the feather: the map that Gild showed him. Exactly where Ignatius is.
Then he lets go of the feather in her hand and pulls back, shrugging. "I guess, but... you're a lot smarter than me and you know more. I don't really know what I'm going to do."
Not about the trial, of course. About the mark. But when he looks at Rita... well, he has an idea.
He just needs to speak to Gild one more time. "Maybe I'll figure it out tomorrow."
no subject
She nods, just to acknowledge his words, but says nothing more. Hopefully she'll see him tomorrow.
no subject
"Good luck, Rita!" He waves before turning to disappear back into the farm.
Day 113
It's when he's lugging a box of weird fruit, trying to keep his back straight despite the pain, that he spots her--and then starts making a beeline in her direction. "Same stuff today?"
no subject
Looks like he's got something to say. Should she enchant something for him...? Without moving, Rita looks him over. Maybe that box could do the trick. She'll wait and see if he brings it closer, or if he's got something else in mind.
no subject
"Don't mind me! I'm just taking this in." By the long way, but he hopes she gets the intention to not look at him.
no subject
no subject
And he's trying to be quick, so he focuses on the mark he carries and the desire to pass it on to Rita. On her end, it'll be like her will is being asked a question, not unlike how Creation did it. Does she accept, or deny?
Silently, Yuya's hoping she accepts.
no subject
A question...?
As much as Rita would rather talk this out and ensure she has the full context before agreeing to anything... she trusts Yuya, and they don't have much time, so she doesn't hesitate for long. She accepts.
no subject
He releases her wrist and bounces forward, stumbling a little as he turns with the basket and starts walking backwards. "Make sure you get lots of rest tonight, okay? And... don't forget what you learned about archery."
He winks... and then trips over a rock going backwards, flailing as he topples over with a yell and sends the contents of the basket flying out. Whoops.
no subject
She turns to look when he falls over... then sighs and goes back to observing the others. Sorry Yuya, she can't help you there.
