I meant wouldn't assume, what's wrong with me?...
*Jogs up behind you to catch up*

@Valiance

We could always aim for mass destruction and eliminate this, along with whatever is inside.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

I assume that much.

@Valiance

*Moves toward the structure to get a closer look*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

I'm pretty confident our attention should be focused on the big shiny object in the room. Whatever this is about, the center of attention is surely in the big temple, wouldn't you say?

@Valiance

It’s worth investigating. The question is why nobody is there yet.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

*Stares in bewilderment*
I don't get any of this. Not even a little bit.

@Valiance

We could clear the area and risk drawing attention, or we could avoid combatants altogether and risk a crowd later.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

It's a very real possibility. Should be obvious by now, but working with one isn't something that's off limits.
*As we walk into an intersection in the road, not far to the right we can see a small group of people dressed like the guy before in a scuffle with what looks to be humanoid robots, trading blows both at range and in hand to hand combat*

@Valiance

Androids too? I wonder what caused this chaos.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

Isn’t our target, but had no problem with us being theirs.

@Valiance

Could the target be working with a Hidden Elements user?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

They can if you do it right. The weapon has to be pre-powered by someone who is a user.

@Valiance

Who isn't our target. Strange, to say the least.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

Things have moved away from channeling elemental control through a medium. It’s much more convenient to just channel the elements yourself with no middle man, and it has no reliance on having possession of anything specific.

@Valiance

But I presume the weapon can be given to a non-user of the elements?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

There are so many possibilities. But guns utilizing them isn't something you see at all. Not in the modern day.

@Valiance

Why is that?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

The feeling is different. It’s not something you’ll be able to catch with the naked eye.

@Valiance

Who would be supplying legitimate weapons empowered by the hidden elements? More of your practitioners looking to stop this threat?
