-[@PKMNB0Y]- [quote=Satori Komeiji]"That's fine and all, but you still haven't answered my question about our families and close acquaintances. Won't there be chaos if people begin to spontaneously disappear from existence? Adding to the problem that you've created won't make it smaller, you know. Unless you provide sufficient proof that they won't be wrapped up in any of your side of this problem, I shall assume you have the intent to wrap everyone up in this whole ordeal. After all, you brought this many in already; what is there to stop you from dragging more into what is essentially your personal army of 'volunteers'?""[/quote] "Don't you worry about that, Miss Komeiji. I have procedures prepared for those things. Granted, I haven't actually tried any of them yet but we have done simulations and the success rate is around ninety to one-hundred percent." The Entertainer answered though you feel his patience was being tried, probably from your attitude. "Though if things really get out of hand, I can always just do a mindwipe so that no one remembers that you were gone. That's a universal solution, that one." "Also, there is nothing stopping me from dragging more people in this brouhaha." He admitted. "But having more isn't merry as I would need to keep tabs on even more people." He then added quite nonchalantly. "Unless you die in the middle of this and I would need replacements." -[@Hammerman]- [quote=Victoria Luxemberg]"But are you sure about choosing me? There are others stronger than me in my world, you know? I'm just a school teacher after all~"[/quote] "Dearie, everyone's a soldier in war." The Entertainer solidly stated his reply. -EVERYONE- Hearing the almost unanimous decision to help out, you all feel The Entertainer almost leapt with joy. "Splendid! Splendid, splendid, splendid!" He got down from the stage and walked towards the hall's exit. "Now then, if you would all follow me." Following The Entertainer out of the Assembly Hall, you would find yourselves in a large corridor. It was not empty though, human people in dark military gear or uniforms went about their businesses, walking and scurrying to their destinations. As you walked through the corridor, any passing soldiers stopped and saluted you before heading off. They were probably saluting at The Entertainer but it still felt otherwise. You all emerge from the corridor into a huge atrium where there are even more soldiers doing about their businesses or simply hanging out. You were at the most lowest floor and there appeared to be ten floors to this structure. A silver sphere hovered at the center of the place with a single flight of stairs leading to its entrance. "Welcome to IDEC, ladies and gentlemen." The Entertainer said but he didn't stop walking. However, you do notice that there were absolutely no windows of any sort in the place. All the light was from the artificial lightbulbs. There were multiple corridors leading out of the atrium, some were labeled while others were not. The Entertainer lead you to one that said 'PORTAL GATE CHAMBERS'. "I suppose now's the time to tell you how IDEC gets to places." He said as he continued walking. "IDEC has these 'portal gates'. These lead to all the universes in the Multiverse." You now notice that his voice was not coming from him but rather, from inside your heads. It was the reason why you could clearly hear him despite the ambient noise and your distance from him. "Each universe has a combination of wavelengths that designate that universe. Those wavelengths can be used by a portal gate to enter that universe from another. However, an extra wavelength is needed to link two portal gates together so that travel can be safe. Otherwise, you might get deposited into a... an unfavorable area." After another large corridor and into a large pair of doors, The Entertainer lead you into an enormous hangar filled with machines and people. You spot two pairs of tall, steel arches on the hangar's walls. These were probably the portal gates The Entertainer was talking about earlier. "I want all of these turned on right now!" You hear him yell which made everybody in the hangar scramble to their positions. After a moment, the portal gates lit up. The white mass of light in the center of the arches shone brightly. The Entertainer lead you to the center of the hangar. "Impressive, isn't it? Anyway..." He then snapped his fingers and suddenly you all feel something in your wrists. Looking at it, it appeared to be a watch of sorts. "IDEC has at least one outpost on each world and thus, one portal gate. Those watches will give you the general direction of that outpost so if you need to exit a universe or get lost or something, you have that." He explained. "Don't lose it." "Now then, to the main topic." The Entertainer produced a small black box. "Your main task is finding the universe where the rogue Agents' main base is. This black box can record the wavelengths I was talking about earlier. You can either connect this to a portal gate's computer to record the past three universes that portal gate has entered or you can have someone manually input the wavelengths should he or she know the exact numbers and letters." He explained the main objective. "A black box will be issued to you by IDEC operatives as soon as you arrive." "Now then without further ado, let's get this show on the road!" ------- [hider=A World Of Magic] "This portal gate leads to a world of fantasy. Of magic. Of dungeons and dragons. However, our sources there's suspicious activity happening in a kingdom called Razelia, the magic capital of this world. You will be emerging from an IDEC outpost just outside the capital city of Zauberheim. If you need more info, you can ask the operatives stationed there. Though I heard there's been some sort of unrest happening there. Tell me all about it once you get back, okay? Please don't bring any sort of modern technology. Just... don't, okay? It's going to be a headache if you do." [/hider] [hider=The World Of Arcana Heart] "This world is a sort of modern fantasy. There's a Celestial Realm, a Hell and of course, the Earth. There are girls there who's got all sorts of super powers. You will be emerging in an outpost in the remote areas of Japan 'cause that's where all the action is. Our sources have reason to believe that the rogue Agents have made contact with some of the locals. I'm sure you know what that implies so be careful. Also, report to me or to the operatives anything that happens to you there." [/hider] [hider=The World Of Hyperdimension Neptunia] "This entire world is known as Gamindustri. It's a bunch of lands floating in the sky. The people there might recognize you and if you are an avid video gamer, you might recognize them as well. Or at least figure out what they represent. They're also... quirky to say the least. However, sources have indicated that there might be rogue Agent activity meddling with the affairs of this world. Also, there are suspicions that some of the locals have had contact with the rogue Agents so again, be careful." [/hider] [hider=The World Of Gyossait] "...or what's left of it anyway. Well, there isn't much you can see here since Gyossait, the goddess of Earth, got mad at humanity and tore the planet asunder. Now the sun is red, the water is acid and monsters rove the wasteland. Still, somehow our beleaguered sources in the world has detected non-IDEC portal gate activity there. I want you to go there and investigate as well as retrieve any wavelengths you find. [/hider] -------- "Oh before you leave! I have one more thing you should know." The Entertainer quickly stopped all of you. "I have... well, let's call them my 'children'. These guys can be a big help to you and they'll most likely do if you just ask them." He then sighed. "But... they don't like me or IDEC very much. It's... complicated. So should you encounter them, just keep me and IDEC and the Agents out of the conversation as much as possible. But if that fails, just tell them that Mister Peculiar is also in on this. In fact, just tell them you are acting under Mister Peculiar should they ask." "What do they look like, you ask?" He paused to think for a bit before answering. "Their appearances vary but you'll know them once you see them. They usually stick out in the worlds they're staying at."
