*Fireworks explode around us without damaging anything*

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

*Grins widely and makes a heart with my fingers*

@Nimda

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

-Ruby- We were a great team! Thank you so much for helping us, Vex. And Misty, Maddie, and Spirit!

@whizzball1

Alright. Now we just need to return to Existence and get this thing into special storage.
*The ship’s speed begins to increase and seal up again with everyone on board*

-Ruby- *Cheers*
-*Lowers to the ground*
-Maddie- *Reverses the work of the device safely as we all reverse our effects*
-Violet’s soul is both safe and sound.

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

-Ruby- Thanks, Misty!
-Your help to retrieve Violet’s soul has been invaluable.

*Gets up and heads to the cockpit, returning the Spacial Displacement machine’s output to what it was previously*
All of you, absolutely brilliant. I don’t mean to brag on your behalf, but there’s a solid chance that’s the first time something like this has ever been done.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

*Dances back and forth*

@Nimda

Unbelievable. Absolutely unreal.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

*Takes it out of my mouth and puts it in the orb*

@Nimda

... Interesting. Good job!
*Seals the orb and pulls out a pen from my pocket, completing a rune of some kind. Once it’s finished, an energy seems to coat the orb for a moment before disappears, and I slump into the nearest chair and sigh in relief*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

*Pops it in my mouth and goes back onto the ship*

@Nimda

*Is standing in the passenger bay, with the orb in hand*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

*The duplicates disappear and I toss it back and forth between my hands*

@Nimda

If the job is done, can you bring it up and place it into the device I dug up a bit ago as soon as possible?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

*Moves it around the bubble*

@Nimda

*As it continues to shrink due to Maddie’s efforts, it eventually becomes small enough to hold in the palm of your normal hands*

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

*Analyses the soul as much as I can in the extra moments—due to the slow-time—that I have before I let go, including its stability, wholeness, and harms, and then I extract my grip and heal myself^

@whizzball1

*The soul is entirely intact and stable, with the only discrepancy from normal being the presence of the Surgespace*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

*Two large blue ethereal hands close around the storm*

@Nimda

*With the storm “shrinking”, it becomes easier and easier to handle*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

*All of the copies turn and stare at it*

@Nimda

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

*I immediately stop in front of it and attempt to reach for it and grasp it in a soul grip*

@whizzball1

*You meet heavy resistance in restraining it in combination with an unfathomably strong degrading force eating away at your arm the instant it crosses the storm’s boundary*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

*Breathes in deeply and breathes out a swirling mist of light and shadow; the light flows out of my body and my eyes darken* This will be the greatest test of my new ability--but I believe I can.

*The tendrils from my coat thread down to the machine and act as the conduits for my energy as I rise into the air; the ship becomes translucent so that we all look into the storm; I stretch out my arms to either side of me and a brilliant white aura forms around my body, brightest across my arms* Bend. *The storm begins to slow in turning as its flow of time and space lengthen and it starts to contract*

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

*I look toward one of you sharply* Go. My soul will follow you. *Light pulses from my chest and shoots into the space around the storm, leaving a trail of light as it runs around the storm in rings, searching for any trace of Violet's soul*

@whizzball1

Remember, the space around it will be easier to manipulate! Within the storm itself you might encounter resistance to your efforts!

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

*Several velociraptors also begin to search*

@Nimda

If the thing giving the radio signal is the soul, it should be approaching an edge now!
*A light blue light immediately becomes visible for a moment at the edge of a storm, like a fish nearing the surface of deep water*
