Here somewhere? What do you mean? Ahm said this was the control station, thing. Whatever his wording was.

@Audacious

He said if we observed movement, then our target is present. There's clear movement on this console.

*The displays seem to display a bunch of info akin to flight controls and system statuses. Most notably, the controls are clearly being utilized and manipulated, as the inputs are displayed on your screen when they are used*
Hope the others are figuring something out too.

@Audacious

Given that the system is being modified, it would seem our culprit is here somewhere.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Nope, perfectly fine.
*Looks over my shoulder toward you*
Kind of an awkward angle to be standing though. Seems like you had the right idea.

@Audacious

Let's see what these devices have to offer now that they're online.
*Walks over to the terminals*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Touches one pylon, and it arcs a full bolt into my fingertip, but I shake my hand as though it were just a static shock*
Okay.
*Places both my hands on the pylon, allowing electricity to arc across my body rapidly, as well as smooth teal streams of energy, causing my hair to shoot straight up. The console whirs as it becomes responsive and the terminals power on*

@Audacious

How are you holding up? Any ill effects?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

I can funnel both it and electricity pretty effortlessly. The Element of Power is even commonly used in combat, so I have a lot of experience with it too.
*Stands next to the dead pylons*
You were trying to connect them?

@Audacious

Right. The device funneled energy between the two sets.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

I have no idea how it’s mechanically generated with electricity. But I can do it myself… What if I act as a battery for it?

@Audacious

Can you do that without being harmed?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

I am. It’s complicated to describe what it is exactly. Not something that I can explain in a few words, but it’s most aptly described as the Element of Power. Makes sense this place would try to generate it and run off it.

@Audacious

How is it generated?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Electricity funnels across it in heavy amounts, and after just a few short moments, the device radiates a wavy teal aura for a few moments, attempting to funnel a whole new type of energy through the device as well, totally liquefying it*
Ohh…

@Audacious

What a curious effect. Are you familiar with that blue force?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Electricity visibly arcs through the pylons but it doesn’t seem to arc between them like on the other one*
That’s something.

@Audacious

I'm going to do something risky. This device should minimize the damage.
*Connects another wire set directly to the pylon, and pulls a wire from the other side of the device, clamping it to the other pylon and energetically connecting them*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

They could be. You think the system is dependent on the pylons themselves connecting wirelessly like they are over there?

@Audacious

It's possible.
*Walks over to the pylons and connects an auxiliary wire to the other side, adding to the energy flow*
