[k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 4] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] [wt 0.2] @Professor M Now I see.[sr]It was hiding in plain sight all along. [k] [charaFace B 1] @Professor M Incidentally, that was one of my 48 Pushing Fifty Techniques in action: “Say something that sounds appropriately detective-ish to prevent anyone from grilling you on why you didn't notice sooner.” [k] @Professor M I recommend it to anyone working in middle to upper tiers of management. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 0] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] [wt 0.2] @Nikola Tesla Given that even a genius of my caliber failed to notice this, any grilling of that sort would be meaningless. The real question is, what do we do now? [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 0] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] [wt 0.2] @Caster of Storytelling So if we can manage to do something about the control device in that statue, we may be able to get rid of the barrier... Is that right? [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 0] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] [wt 0.2] @Enkidu Well, yes, but Medb is very aware of how important the device is. Security is bound to be tighter than ever. [k] @Enkidu What's more, using my Presence Detection, I can tell there's someone else in this prison who's nearly as powerful as her. [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 10] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] [wt 0.2] @Altria Alter That must be Vice-Warden...Quetzalcoatl. [k] @Altria Alter Meanwhile, we remain weakened. If we attempt to approach the device without a plan, we will surely be cleaned up. [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 4] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Caster of Storytelling I really don't want to die...[sr]Do we have no other options? [k] @Caster of Storytelling Maybe we could persuade her to let us out,[sr]or win her over with a bribe. [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk G] [charaFace G 12] [charaFadein G 0.1 1] [wt 0.2] @Oda Nobunaga If only it were that easy. [k] [charaFadeout G 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 1] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Enkidu Actually, that sort of approach might just be your best option. [k] @Enkidu For example...in addition to myself, I've heard there's another maximum security prisoner who happens to be a master of disguise. [k] @Enkidu I presume you can take it from there? [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk H] [charaFace H 0] [charaFadein H 0.1 1] [wt 0.2] @Babbage Now I see.[sr]That does seem worth considering.

[k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 3] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Ishtar I don't doubt that you're telling the truth...but I can also tell from your wry smile how embarrassed you are to be praised like that. [k] ?2:Nope, sure haven't. [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 12] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Mash Me neither. A master of disguise, huh... How could someone like that help to resolve this situation? [k] ?!

[k] @Helena There are just two things we need to confirm.[sr]First, is Quetzalcoatl authorized to do that? [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 0] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Enkidu Definitely. I've noticed that the Prison Field's[sr]range and strength are adjusted occasionally... [k] @Enkidu ...and it has happened at times when Medb is far away from the prison. In fact, the most recent adjustment was made right before you all arrived. [k] @Enkidu I'm guessing she contacted the prison to inform them she was bringing in a group of powerful prisoners so that they could strengthen the barrier a bit before they arrived. [k] @Enkidu And it could not possibly have[sr]been Medb who made the adjustment. [k] @Enkidu While Medb is surely the core of the barrier's power, the fact that the barrier is rooted here in this location tells us something important. [k] @Enkidu It is impossible for one person to manage alone. [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 5] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Helena Good. Now here's the second thing: if we're going to trick Quetzalcoatl into following false orders, those orders will naturally have to come from a false Medb. [k] [charaFace A 4] @Helena Is that going to work? I mean, can this person really disguise himself as Medb well enough to fool her? [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 0] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Enkidu If this master is as good as they're rumored to be, that shouldn't be a problem. [k] @Enkidu I'm told that they can transform into anyone, male or female. [k] @Enkidu Supposedly, they can mimic their target's Spirit Origin somehow. [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 4] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Professor M This could be a problem. I know only two people with such skill in disguise, and one of them I would very much prefer to avoid. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 0] [charaFace E 0] [charaFadein E 0.1 2] @Professor M I will just ask directly:[sr]Is this master of disguise a detective? [k] @Enkidu Hm? No, I don't think so. [k] @Enkidu For one thing, detectives usually send people to prison, not get sent there themselves. [k] @Enkidu If this person is anything, then according to the rumors I have heard, I would say they are...a phantom.

[k] @Ishtar ...Okay, I've officially made their cell the next checkpoint. If you want to get rid of the Prison Field, you'll have to get this phantom person to join you.
