[... Tidus.]

The Gry are fighters, yeah. Mostly spearwork, though, and these creatures attacking us only go down to light!

Haven't been listening to these as much as I should have; any idea if the other teams have been figuring anything out yet, or are we all going into this pretty much blind?

[ Look he has hardly been around Terrans that often! ]

I was hoping you guys would have some idea. Did you ever figure out what those visions were about? Anything?

Apart from them being from the 'Burrower', and it maybe meaning it's afraid?

... Maybe it thinks it's being hunted; no one's said anything about the Burrower's origins so far.

[Grasping at shadows, this feels like.]

[ Much shadows, very blind. ]

Some of the Terrans were talking about it. Or--a Dweller? Sounds like it's the same. [ There's a sigh. ] All I know is...we have to figure out something soon, at least some way of getting rid of the fiends.

I don't know what it's like destroying them when they're in somewhere, but outside, when they turn back into orbs-- it looks like they multiply. And there's a bunch of 'em per orb.

[Nita groans.]

Of course they're multiplying. That's probably how it's escalated so badly in the three days after that first storm, too.

[One becomes two becomes four becomes eight... And then they hatch.]

We have a few people who're good at wielding sunlight, right? Wish Dair was here...

[She could have a word with the sun and fry the orbs into harmlessness - though it might not go well for the planet's surface in the meantime.]

Does Glor count? The glowing guy? Most of us in Red've been using thunder magic for light.

[ Ughhh, what was the answer here? ]

I think you need... some way to stop them from turning back into the orb. Have you seen them change into that?

... Both work.

[Though maybe it wasn't just Glorfindel who could do that trick? ... Nita can't remember just now.]

And no; they're not doing that down here. Wherever their source is, it's not in the tunnels.

[Which was frustrating, but better than the alternative.]

It's sorta like...they drip away to the ground, disappearing. And then the fiends appear. You put the light on them, they shatter...and then the orbs rise from the ground. Or, well. More orbs.

So when you're killing them now, I think they might still...be in the ground? Kinda like how the orbs are. You can't do anything to them when they're orbs. But it's the light that makes the fiend turn back into an orb.

[ Something...something?? Was he still making sense here? Ugh, he hates these things. ]

[That... doesn't sound entirely consistent with what she's dealt with so far.]

So they're made to be indestructible and immortal, basically.

[The epitome of Not Good, right there.]

What if we ejected one into the void? You think it could survive that intact?

Uhh.... Can you do that?

[ Because he has no clue about that in the slightest. ]

I don't think any of us currently have void powers.

[More's the pity.]

But if we try to evacuate to the train while we've got one on us, wonder what happens to the monsters?

I think we're gonna need the bigger train even if it works.

[ A bigger, bigger train. ]

Plus we can't call the train to come back can we?

No; the journey's one-way, from what I know. Unless it's parked somewhere nearby, but it's not like these SCAs are, I dunno, a homing beacon.

[That'd be too easy, if they were.]

More of a homing beacon on us than anything. Eesh, it'd be great if it would come back and, I dunno -- give us more lights? Be useful?

[ To regret not taking one of the hard hats. ]

[Nita snorts.]

I'll second that one, above anything else.

But if we ever need to nuke these things, I've got enough power for that, at least.

Just... it'd be better if we weren't in tight quarters.

[ Hmmm, hrrrm. ]

Seto said about finding flood lights over at the lab. Maybe us in Red can find something we can take down to you guys too at one of these factories. [ Not that it's worked out well yet, but.

Still, jokingly: ] Maybe the Reds are being sent over to a light factory?

[ Wouldn't that be swell. ]

Tell Charlotte when you find something and she can teleport it over, maybe?

[That WOULD be useful...]

Heh. Guess we have to find out. They keep all their factories on the surface, anyway.

[Meaning it's as good a guess as any.]

[ Charlotte?? Oh, right, the Spider. ]

Right. I'll let you know where this is taking us once I know. Don't have too much fun over there though, y'hear?

[ Not without him, of course! ]

Gotcha.

Look out for yourself, Tidus. Taiki and Wen Qing, too.

[Because DON'T THINK SHE'S COMPLETELY FORGOTTEN THAT, OKAY?]

Oh! [ OH YEAH. ] I sent Taiki over with Orange! He's fine--fine as he can be. But it's better there than out here.

But don't worry! Stay safe!

[ LOOK HE'S KEEPING AN EYE ON EVERYONE IT'S COOL. ]

[... You better be RIGHT, Tidus! Or Nita will be angry!

Not as angry as Tidus will be with himself, probably, but still.]

It doesn't sound exactly livable up there even without the monsters, yeah.

I will! As well as anyone can, anyway.

Nita, out.
