[Doctor Ciel]

Once the group arrives at Ciel's public library and research center, and everyone inside got ready to go...

“ So Ciel, before we head out, remind me again what we're up against? ”

“ Well, the constant electromagnetic storms in the area we're about to visit pose an immediate threat to all electronics from the past ...four hundred years or so our time.  Everything from the batteries that power your weapons to the chips that control them will likely be destroyed if you bring them along. ”

“ But... me and Roll... will be fine. Reploids, right? ”

“ All reploids from our era are Electro Magnetic Resistant, to a certain extent. I've updated Roll to be compliant with modern safety standards, so she's relatively safe as well. There's not a lot I can do to protect us from a sudden surge in the storm, but at that point humans won't be safe either. ”

“ Wait, humans aren't safe either? I thought this storm was only dangerous to electronics! What kind of storm are we dealing with?! ”

“ Well...  This entire area is highly radioactive. No one is safe, really.  We'll need to run tests on the power source if we bring any back to make sure it won't hurt anyone. As for us, I'm wearing a bodysuit that should keep me safe, and you should be relatively safe from radiation naturally. In the event of a storm surge, we'll have to rely on cyber elves to protect us. In the... worst case scenario, I am prepared to treat radiation sickness. It'll be a good idea to make sure we don't take too long to get out of there. ”

“Roll? Are you ready??” Ciel called out. Producing herself from nearby, DCN-002--not to be confused with her non-mirage counterpart, DLN-002 and DCN-003, jogged down to greet the group. She had a backpack on her back. “Ready when you are, Mom~!” she announced rather light-heartedly. “Did you pack everything we're going to need?” Ciel asked “Yup! I've got the special badge you made, a bunch of items we can use to beat up any bad guys that get in the way, some spare clothes and sandwhiches!” Roll replied, a piranha plant popping out of her backback and grinning toothily at everyone nearby. Ciel beamed at her rather proudly, entirely unfazed by the carnivorous plant. “And did you make sure to leave any electronics behind? They will get destroyed...” Ciel softly warned. “Yes Mom...” roll replied in a somewhat exasperated tone, becoming mildly frustrated with the incessant questioning. Make what you will of a pre-teen girl of maybe 10-12 years calling a teenage girl of 15-16 years 'Mom'.

“ Is everyone else ready? Our first step will be to travel to Sector X. It'll take a while, but we can pass the time with chatter and any questions you might have on the way.  ”

"I'm ready Freya had made sure that her spears were in top condition. The Beurmecian looking over her three robotic allies, her face holding a stern expression as the paid the strange scenario before her no mind. "Any idea what might be lurking there in terms of actual threats. Might be good to know if I should keep an eye on the skies or not."

Heavy footsteps thud against the ground, the wide grin on the lion's face begging to be stretched ever so much. "Oh hi all you and uh uuh ... uh yeah! I'm here ta help walk to the one place," Benny said, sliding to a grand halt. He looked between the three ... machinery people and the rat woman with a spear. Huh. The beastkin knew he was a warrior, and this other lady looked like one as well, but he was not so sure about the three they needed to escort.

Of course, it came to mind that Li was a far different prospect than back home. People of varying appearances did some wild things. He can trust them to be able to take care of themselves. "Yeah yeah, what're we dealin' with and that stuff? Been dyin' ta walk outside ta sphere tingy recently," the man beamed.

This lion was far too energetic for a vital mission.

Ciel paused for a moment, giving Treya a thoughtful look.

“ Unfortunately, no. It's hard for me to say what else we might run into, but due to the weather I have doubts that any birds or other flying creatures would choose to call this area their territory. I imagine anyone we encouter out in a desolate region like this will most likely be migratory enemies from all over Li. ”

Ciel then moved to begin heading out.

“ If everyone's all set, let's head out! We'll have plenty of time for a ... hopefully uneventful walk there. I won't be bringing my bike because I can't afford to lose it if an errant storm or bandit comes for us ”

The group would likely not have much trouble walking. Ciel was a nerd and Roll was a midget, so for our taller and stronger companions the pace would probably be fairly relaxed. The wastes were largely unremarkable, with dead plants and parched, toxic soil being their primary backdrop. A few times they could see creatures in the distance, however for the most part they just left the group alone and gave them plenty of space. Only ... there was one extra person following around.

((Group! Roll 14+ WIS to notice someone sneakin' up on the Good Doctor!))

Freya had remained quiet for most of the trip thus far as held her spear at the ready. The burmecian keeping her eyes focused mostly on the group's rear as they trekked their way across Li. She didn't wanna risk someone sneaking up on her allies. She was starting to finally relax a bit. Maybe she could afford a moment of levity for herself. She opened her mouth to speak as she turned her attention back to the front of the party.

As she turned, the burmecian caught glimpse of someone stalking Ciel, she couldn't quite tell who or what it was but that didn't matter. Whatever it was, it was a potential threat and she wasn't gonna let the creature get any closer. With a quick flick of her wrist, the Javelin in her hand goes flying and lands directly between the newcomer and Ciel.

"Looks like we've got company!" Just as quickly as she'd thrown the first Javelin, a second was in her hands, the dragoon ready for combat as she rushed towards the stalker.
