[color=DeepSkyBlue]“I guess you could say that it’s a bunch of very small artificial workers reassembling the basic components of things, like someone turning a piece of wood into a table or chair.”[/color][/quote] "I [i]think[/i] I understand?" Peter says in a tone that indicates he probably didn't, and begins trying to squint at the thing, as though expecting tiny elves taking apart things and putting them together. Sarah just giggles at him. [color=ed145b]"I don't think you can see them; it's in the name after all,"[/color] she explains. [color=ed145b]"Nanotechnology is too small to be seen by the naked human eye; you'll just strain your eyes."[/color] [quote=@Ponn]A moment later, the holographic display flicked to life, and Steph couldn’t help but give voice to a small gasp. [color=DeepSkyBlue]“Mom…”[/color] she whispered as she felt her eyes begin to moisten. She watched in silence, while her mother described her work on Project Prometheus.[/quote] Sarah notes Steph's sorrow, and lightly puts a hand on the other girl's shoulder, squeezing gently to reassure her and give her a warm smile. [color=ed145b]"It's nice to meet your mother,"[/color] Sarah says, looking at the fading hologram. [color=ed145b]"What did she work on... back then?"[/color] [quote=@Maglar] In the archive the girls found a map of the world as it was known: [center][hider=World Map][img]https://i.imgur.com/rsrBXtV.jpg[/img][/hider][/center] [hider=Legend] Circles are for villages, Triangles are for Castles [list]MAP LEGEND: [*]Amazon: A City of all Women Warriors. [*]Brynmaer: A Village in the center of a poisoned forest [*]Goa: A Castle of Warriors who Study the Secrets of Martial Arts. [*]Joel: A village of caves hidden in the sea. [*]Leaf: A Simple Town of Religious folks. This is where the Mystics live. [*]Nadare: Land of Ice, the people are fisherfolk. [*]Oak: Poisonous Swamp land, it's people are strange and not to be trusted. [*]Portoa: Land of Waterfalls, a paradise. The people there are prone to vice. [*]Sahara: A Dessert land. The people call themselves the "Fremen" [*]Shyron: The Castle of the Kingdom of Thunder. They are isolationists and their army uses strange weapons. [*]Swan: A Harbour Town filled with Pirates. [*]Castle Solace: The Capital of humanity. [*]Draygon's Fortress: A dark and ominous fortress. The people of Solace have no knowledge of the inner workings of the citadel. [*]Tinkertown: A village of Tinkerers and Archeologists who live in an excavation site where they seek to understand the mysteries of ancient technology.[/list][/hider] Asra blinks into existence in Sarah's eyes. [color=f6989d]"The map of the old world does not correlate to the map of the new world,"[/color] she comments in her pretty voice, [color=f6989d]"I am unable to decipher any patterns between the two. The number of Oracles which were created is uncertain too, whether or not they existed in the facilities which worked on the Prometheus Project is uncertain."[/color] Asra's voice took a more serious tone, [color=f6989d]"We should follow rumors of people using incredible powers like Kensu used the lightning. He was powering the battery with Pip's electro-energy and then channeling that through the sword. Someone else may have discovered the same use of such a power. If we find another battery I can talk to Stephanie as well. Tell her that it is good to see her alive for me would you please? I was dearly worried until she picked up the sword of stone."[/color][/quote] Sarah wasn't expecting Asra to pop in on them like that, and looks around to see if anyone else can see her. Sir Gravy and Peter showed no reaction, which shows they probably can't see her, and Steph seems a bit busy - and maybe her 'receiver' isn't yet fully powered yet, and getting a battery will help her see Asra more easily. Still, despite what Asra tells her, maybe they can spot a pattern. Even if the facilities had shifted in the meantime, they could still follow their general locations and narrow their searches down a bit. [color=ed145b]"We should also be on the lookout for rumors of strange powers and such,"[/color] Sarah speaks up, deciding to voice what Asra told her. [color=ed145b]"The Oracles and their equipment had powerful biogenic energy abilities linked to them, so we could follow such rumors on the road. I mean, some of them must have woken up already. Did every Oracle have a Wizard guarding them, or are there some Oracles still missing in the various ruins? Maybe they woke up a long time ago... and had to live by themselves."[/color] The thought of being alone in such a world saddens Sarah as she thinks about it. That could have been her; lost in the wirlderness, not even a Wizard to guide her, and trying to figure things out on her own. It would be a lonely existence.
