You can consider it as the mirror of the interconnected network of all Machina. The only parts requiring exploration are those closest to the Kernel,"[/color] Eos replied to HR-513. To clarify her request, she produced a holographic projection of the Machina Network, overlaid with a second projection of similar nodes of light. After separating the two, it was noticeable that there was a huge gap in the area of the second projection that corresponded to Hyperion and its closest territories.

[color=f49ac2]"Normally, one cannot enter Datascape on their physical form. This fact alone makes exploration impossible for most,"[/color] Eos made a pause once Endian turned on her heels and spoke to the Harvester. Obviously, some sort of idea was being processed on the High Queen's mind right now. [color=f49ac2]"That said,"[/color] she continued when Endian had said her piece, [color=f49ac2]"Krieg may be able to assist you with this task better than anyone else. Their unique condition will likely prove to be invaluable for this task. You can enlist others' assistance as well, as long as it has no impact on the war effort."[/color]

[color=f49ac2]"There's nothing more I can impart upon you at this time. You are dismissed,"[/color] Eos finally said to the last two individuals who remained in her presence.
[center][img]https://i.imgur.com/KBBwK0P.png[/img][/center][color=6ecff6]"Mmm~ I see it. So you are one of them,"[/color] The Librarian said replied to Saef after he explained his history and why he was consulting her library. She appeared to be thinking deeply —or maybe sleeping— as he spoke but the way her body responded to stimulus make it quite clear that she wasn't unguarded.

That was so much true that The Librarian's ears perked up, shifting slightly just as Zack scuttled close to them. The bell in her tail jiggling softly as her predatory instincts kicked in. Nevertheless, the feline being didn't act on them and pounced Zack like an unsuspecting mouse that got too close to the supposedly sleeping cat only to find too late that it was all ruse from a superior predator. Instead, she turned back to Saef listening as he made his question. A moment later, the jiggling stop, as The Librarian's switch flipped to 'attack mode', if Zack got any closer to them without saying anything, he would have a cat-surprise.

[color=6ecff6]"Mmm~ actually, I know a lot about Deva. A long, long time ago we used to work together before we became enemies. And finally, things got to this point since there's no use in fighting against her anymore,"[/color] The Librarian said nonchalantly. With a gesture, she summoned an ornate dark blue tome with silver runes decorating its cover that seemed to possess an inner power of its own. It didn't see to come just from magic either; the tome itself was a piece of technology made to process magical energy to produce effects. By the looks of it, the book was both ancient and very advanced, the words on its cover seemed to match the language in some of the older volumes above Saef's desk. With a little work, one would be able to distinguish the Tome's name as 'First Apocrypha'.

[color=6ecff6]"We made these together, but they are of no use now. Just dead Tomes, with no master or power of their own. The last memories of a world from long, long ago,"[/color] The Librarian said. Her gaze slowly drifted around some of the shelves, especially the harder to reach ones, before turning back to Saef. [color=6ecff6]"When there's time, I can teach you about it. Right now, it probably won't do."[/color]

The azure demon looked both Marie and Apia from head to toes, before crossing her clawed-gauntlet covered arms in front of her not so bountiful chest. [color=8493ca]"So, none of you two have heard of the tale of the great revolution yet? How Hell's bloody regime was finally vanquished and a dark covenant of hypocrisy and pettiness came to power, huh? Well, hehehe~ don't worry, your very own Absinthe Blue will impart her magnificence upon you."[/color]

For the next ten minutes or so, Absinthe would explain the history of Hell recent administration changes in great detail to her audience. It was anyone's guess she said was an exaggeration or not, but sure as Hell, it would make up excellent material for a novel series.

[color=8493ca]"And, I call it a Game of Couches. After all, Rufus still has one right over there, just bigger and pimpier,"[/color] Absinthe said, finally concluding her Song of Plants and Fire. She looked at the two others intensely, her eyes shining with a cunning, or perhaps a mischievous, glint before adding, [color=8493ca]"Oh~ but you two, ladies, better take care if you go there talk with the Big Four. I heard that even looking at Rufus' newest lewd nest can get a woman to bear the Hell's next black prince."[/color] Absinthe rested both of her gauntleted hands over her while looking at them with a bashful expression in her face. Whether Marie and Apia would buy Absinthe's act or not was on their own, but certainly, the possibility was there, right?
