[k] @Goredolf I mean, most people would do damn near anything to avoid death, no? I certainly would. [k] @Goredolf Even the people in China were terrified for their lives when it looked like Qin Shi Huang was about to kill them. [k] @Goredolf To be sure, there are some things we just can't run away from, no matter how much we want to. I daresay everyone comes across something like that at least once or twice in their lives.

[k] @Da Vinci She looks to be about one...[sr]No, make that one and a half kilometers long? [k] @Da Vinci It also looks like she can control her movement,[sr]and doesn't orbit the planet like a satellite. [k] @Da Vinci The one thing I can say for sure is that this technology far surpasses anything humanity had as of 2020. [k] @Nemo I'm guessing that primary cannon of hers is the only weapon she's got. [k] @Orion Apparently, it's called “Shooting Star Ortygia:[sr]You, Gold That Pierces Planets.” [k] @Orion At least, that's what that Artemis told me. [k] @Nemo Yeah. And we saw how powerful it is when it destroyed that entire island. [k] @Nemo If we hadn't been partway through a Zero Sail when she fired it at us, both the Shadow Border and the Nautilus surrounding it would have been vaporized. [k] @Da Vinci It looks like her weak point[line 2]or rather, the section we'll need to target, is this one here that kind of looks like a head. [k] @Da Vinci Given how thick her armor is, and the primary cannon's position, I feel safe in saying it's our only shot. [k] @Da Vinci Of course, it's gonna be real difficult to reach it with a run-of-the-mill Noble Phantasm, and let's not even discuss sending you to space to fight her directly! [k] [messageOff] [scene 20112 1.0] [wt 1.1] [charaPut J 1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 1] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Goredolf But on the bright side, at least we know our target.[sr]All we have to do now is figure out how to hit it! [k] [charaFace A 11] @Goredolf And given how big this Lostbelt is... [k] @Goredolf ...we're bound to find something we can use to shoot her down if we just keep looking!

[k] @Jason I say once we make land, we ask the villagers if they've seen any other outsiders[line 2]by which I mean Servants[line 2]then we make our way straight for the temple. [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut J 1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 0] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Goredolf So we can get more nanomachines?

[k] @Da Vinci Their components are completely safe. There's no sign of toxicity and no way for them to erode their host's cells. [k] @Da Vinci Even their reparation process is strictly limited to improving their host body's performance. [k] @Da Vinci There are also limiters in place to prevent the machines from consuming too much energy, overstimulating the host's metabolism, or otherwise going berserk. [k] [charaFace B 7] @Da Vinci They're made out of a metal that doesn't exist on our Earth. I think we should call it “orichalcum” until we learn otherwise. [k] ?1:Orichalcum... ?! [charaFace B 10] @Da Vinci I'm guessing nanomachines aren't what Plato had in mind when he came up with the idea for it, but you know what they say about hindsight!

[k] [charaFace A 4] @Goredolf When they go about saying things like “Ahh, here I am on the brink of shutting down, and yet my master is too cruel to give me a little shoulder rub. Oh, if only I had a kind master!” well within earshot, well... [k] [charaFace A 3] @Goredolf ...even a heartless, cold-blooded mage couldn't help but be moved to act.

[k] @Nemo Professor I'm Nemo Professor, the literal[sr]brains behind Captain Nemo. [k] @Nemo Professor It didn't make sense to send Captain out just to collect nanomachines, so I was assigned to come along instead. [k] @Nemo Professor As you can see, I can handle myself equally well in indoor and outdoor situations alike. I know I'm barefoot, but don't worry. I'm okay with it. [k] @Nemo Professor Please, don't mind me. Just go about your business like you normally would.

[k] @Nemo Professor I trust it goes without saying, but I literally can't fight to save my life. So, while I know I told you not to mind me, I am hoping you'll be sensitive enough to pick up on how I really feel. [k] [charaFace A 0] @Nemo Professor That is to say:[sr]please keep me safe.
