RaijinslayerFor now, the Dark Outliners were to stay on hold until advancements were finally complete involving their Terminal research and establishment within Arcadia. The Quincies, albeit somewhat archaic in their methods, were doing quite well in spreading their Reishi in various continents, only to create their new 'empire' within the 'shadows' of that world. Thanks to this, the organization could remain as inconspicuous as ever while directly placing themselves in the midst of the chaos. Conablum labs were essentially fusing with the Ethereal workforce to combine various data and achieve faster productivity. Other than that, they simply had to wait, which would leave the prisoner Grimlock to consider his position in this world as of now.
The Ethereal was the dinobot's main audience as of now, observing of what use he could be, but more specifically what potential such a species presented. It was clear as day this thing came from somewhere and there'd be more. All they had to do now would be to retrace his origins in Arcadia and eventually find the right coordinates to enter the universe he was from. They didn't want to invade it, but rather research it and possible expand their own robotic thanks to this advancement. And then Conablum showed herself, congratulating the alien for blasting the scientist to the deadzone. Unimpressed by her remark, the overlord questioned more and more the rationality of Cyano. Sure her resources were great and her intelligence at the peak of what it'd expect, but otherwise she was very much a loose cannon.
"Perhaps selecting a more mentality dampened workforce would be a wiser choice than endless punishment. You humans have this weakness that constantly obstruct progress in which we've remedied a long time ago. It would also be courteous that you ... Arrange the decor and presentation of these labs for our superior's arrival. Surely you've seen how she is. Another social case, much like the general executive force. In any case, you may not meet the Envisioning One as of now, but Eto is a mere echelon under and the immediate replacement in case of the One's absence."
It would inform with its monotone yet overwhelmingly creepy voice, making sure she was well aware of Eto's position regarding them and as a fair warning to her rather eccentric personality. The alien knew clearly well why she'd come, and it wouldn't be for a routine visit in her new labs. She wanted to hunt down some people and see how her new toys fared in the field. In that case, Cyano was the most likely candidate to accompany her on a heated excursion, and depending on the amount of destruction required, she'd also take the initiative to test out Grimlock.
Then came Biollante with the knocked out Kolon. Examining it for a few seconds, an arm-like vector would swiftly snag the cat critter and swiftly pass it to Cyano without even warning her. It could easily deduce that she knew him, mostly because it was friends with Saber, so in conclusion she'd probably be aware of its existence. Considering it was a very peculiar species and most sentient creatures in the labs were human, it'd be sensible to also conclude it came from these very labs.
"Conablum, perhaps you know of this creature? As for you, Biollante. The Goa'uld have recently established contact with our friends in New-York, at least that is the report from your clones. Keep a focused eye on them while preparing for your upcoming mission. Your ... Talents would be perfectly suited for our next Grand Scale Operation. Understood?"
It told the two, giving Biollante a heads up as to what was expected of her in the near future. It was clear that the Ethereal considered her the best tool to inspect Arcadia-2 once they'd break through. The question now was what to bring along in such a mysterious world. It would ponder the idea whilst witnessing progress regarding Grimlock. One thing was for sure however, they were merely hours away from making a huge leap toward their main goal. A goal few were fully aware of.
