<Snipped quote by 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 whizzball1>

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

@Multifarious

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

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

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

@Multifarious

*Moves it around the bubble*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

<Snipped quote by 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*

@Multifarious

*Two large blue ethereal hands close around the storm*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by 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 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*

@Multifarious

*All of the copies turn and stare at it*

-Maddie- Woah, what happened?

@whizzball1

*One of the duplicates not staring shrugs*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

*Doesn’t notice anything going on outside the ship from where I am*

@Multifarious

*Several velociraptors also begin to search*

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

*The duplicate rolls its eyes and continues*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

*Before long, the entirety of the space it occupies is surrounded by normal space and then some, and I reemerge from the cockpit with the sphere from a moment ago*
Our goal is to get it into this. Can you manage shrinking the space down to that degree?

@Multifarious

*One of the duplicates places her hand against the barrier and is sucked Outside—half of the remaining duplicates and eyes stop and look where she was*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

*Heads back into the cockpit*
Alright, I’m preparing to increase Spacial Displacement output in 3... 2... 1... Now.
*The bubble if space around the ship begins to increase rapidly, and it doesn’t take long before the machine begins to buzz from the stress*

@Multifarious

*Duplicates of myself pop in and out around the ship along with several disembodied bloodshot eyes with red irises*
