No problem; I'm glad to.
*Continues moving capsules to the side*

@Etcetera

*Looks at the muted television*
Oh, you’ve gotta be kidding me. It’s going on in multiple places at once?

Myriad Reality

*Smiles*
See you in a bit.

@Etcetera

*Comes back after a strangely short time through another portal, instead of the hallway*
I’ve got what I need.
*Unstraps my rifle from my back and reaches to my side, where a device teleports a magazine into my hand. I load it into the gun, cock it, and restrap it*
Thanks again for the help.

It's okay. I'll have these charged up in a jiffy.
*Touches a cell to the crystal and then moves it aside*

@Etcetera

*Takes a deep breath, then exhales, seemingly having cooled down now*
Thank you, it’s much appreciated. I’ll actually check out the armory and leave Sips and Sjin an IOU if need be. I know they don’t mind and you lot don’t really use it.
*Heads off down a hallway*

E-Crystals!
*Takes a rhomboid pale-blue object and places it on the table*

@Etcetera

Ah. Maybe not. I dunno how those work.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Of course, I'd be glad to.
*Picks them up off the ground*

@Etcetera

*Picks the bag itself up off the ground and sets it on a nearby table, then starts sorting the spent energy ammo from the empty physical ammo magazines*
How are you charging these, by the way? I can help plug them in or whatever as well.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

I see. I'm sorry about your vacation. Do you want me to recharge your energy cells?

@Etcetera

Hm?
*Looks down*
Ah, why sure, if it isn’t too much of an inconvenience. I’m completely spent on personal resources after defending the planet with the admittedly pathetic forces the IA sent to save them, save for some of my larger tricks, and having them topped off will help me out should anything happen while I am here. At least, it’ll help should I not have time to return home before moving out again.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

What do you mean?

@Etcetera

All I'm trying to say is that we have no way to know unless someone spills the beans. Either he himself, or one of these commanders he has running the show here. And they haven't. Yet, at least.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Why is he causing war?

@Etcetera

Huh. You want to ask him?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Where is Ireme Aktes?

@Etcetera

It's just another IA world. Great place for vacations, but nothing too major on the surface otherwise. Which, I should add, makes me want to go back and see what may be hidden there to spurn such an attack. But not now.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

No, but I also need to better catch up with who that is.

@Etcetera

Some dude from Outside or whatever. Never seen him myself but he apparently loves stirring up trouble everywhere. I was just enjoying some real time off on Ireme Aktes when suddenly... War. Nuts.
