[k] [charaFadeout A 0.3] @Mash Essentially, she independently performed a pseudo-Zero Sail to travel to the Arctic Circle via Void Space. [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 4] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Goredolf She Zero Sailed without so much as a protective suit? Is she mad?

I swear, these Divine Spirits can get away with whatever the hell they want! [k] @Goredolf So what about the Holy Grail she used to make this Singularity!? I assume it's one of ours. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 13] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Mash No, it actually seems she acquired it in the Arctic Circle. So... [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 7] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Goredolf Oh. So it's not one of Chaldea's Holy Grails after all? [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 0] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Mash That's right. Anyway, the three Valkyries, Thrúd, Hildr, and Ortlinde... [k] [messageOff] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaScale G 1.35] [charaFadein G 0.3 0,-400] [wt 0.3] @Mash ...all left Chaldea and arrived at the Arctic Circle almost simultaneously as Skadi. [k] [messageOff] [charaFadeout G 0.3] [wt 0.3] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 14] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Da Vinci Hmm. I don't see any way the Valkyries could have Zero Sailed on their own. [k] [charaFace D 0] @Da Vinci So they must have hitched a ride with Skadi. [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 12] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Goredolf “Hitched a ride”?

[charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 13] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Mash Yes. I'm sure they were. [k] ?2:Yep. Sounds like the Valkyries. [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 13] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Mash Yes, it does. [k] ?! [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 23] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Da Vinci So the obvious conclusion is that they were trying to stop her. [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 4] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Mash Right. Though unfortunately, it seems they didn't succeed. [k] @Mash Afterwards, Skadi's magical energy signal moved away from the Valkyries... [k] [charaFace C 7] @Mash ...who appear to currently be holding position where they arrived in the Arctic Circle. [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 14] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Da Vinci Maybe after their negotiations failed, they decided to stay put and wait for [%1] to get there[sr]instead of going after Skadi. [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Goredolf An excellent, rational decision. All right then, what are we to make of these new Valkyries? [k] ?1:New Valkyries...? ?! [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 7] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Mash Right. According to our records...

[k] @Mash At about the same time, a number of the Servants who didn't change into swimsuit Spirit Origins...

[k] [charaFace B 12] @Goredolf I don't remember much about that from the records, but wasn't it established that the recordkeeper in charge simply hallucinated that one? [k] @Goredolf They didn't?

[k] @Mash In general, it's impossible for external factors to intervene here, and vice versa... [k] @Mash So I suspect these Servants followed Skadi's Zero Sail trail to reach the Arctic Circle. [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 12] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Goredolf Uh, Technical Advisor? Is there such a thing as Zero Sail trails...?

[k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 0] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Da Vinci So we can probably assume this is some kind of Primordial Rune reality bending at work.

[k] @Goredolf And Divine Spirit or not, it's still only a minute Singularity, no? [k] [charaFace B 11] @Goredolf So then, won't it close on its own soon enough?
