➢ 002 [video]

[looksfine]

[Her screen flickers for a moment, as if there were something interfering with the signal.  As it gradually comes into focus, we see Aya leaning against a stone wall.  Her lids are half-shut and her voice is weak.  She does not appear to be in any pain, though her skin has taken on an unhealthy shade: specifically, a yellowish-green.]

[Even more specifically, the reflection of a small collection of yellow crystals scattered around the area]

I did not anticipate encountering the Crystals here.

They appear to be affecting my power levels as much as before.  Assistance may be...necessary...in the foreseeable future....



((ooc: Aya's one weakness is a mysterious alien yellow crystal that drains her power systems.  It just so happens that a similar type of crystal exists in the Indiana Jones universe.  Coincidence?  Duh, but one that was too tempting to resist.))

Where are you?

[looksfine]

Unknown.

The schematics of the vessel I had downloaded to not match with its current layout.

[ichoosefight]

Where were you trying to be? I've pretty much figured out my way around, I can come find you.

[looksfine]

[This gets a weak nod in response. Aya takes roughly 2.6 seconds to process the available information--nearly twice as long as usual.]

I am within a 50 yard radius of my assigned quarters. 5-1.

Spam? Castiel can come too

[ichoosefight]

Towards the pyramid or away?

Sounds good to me!

[looksfine]

Away.

Spam!

[ichoosefight]

I'll be right there, just sit tight.

[ And so she shall, as Steph has spent most of this flood figuring out where things are in relation to each other! ]

[trenchcoatedly]

Where are you? I can get you somewhere safe.

[looksfine]

At the moment, I believe the correct term is "lost"

[trenchcoatedly]

Where did you come from, that you recognize? Your room? The cafeteria or the library?

[The screen is slightly fuzzy around the edges, and the scenario behind Castiel is a blur of colors - moving too fast for the video to figure it out, it seems.]

[looksfine]

Room.

Away from the pyramid.

[She's recycling information previously deduced through her conversation with Stephanie, whom Castiel is welcome to join in the rescue~]

[trenchcoatedly]

[Rescuing underway!]

[substandard_parts]

Crystals? [He's concerned about anything that can drain the power in an AI. But he doesn't understand what a Green Lantern really is yet.

He can tell that's not a normal color.]

[looksfine]

Yes.

I have encountered them before. Coincidently, in another prison.

[substandard_parts]

How are they having that effect on you?

[looksfine]

The Crystals appear to give off some kind of low-level radiation that affects Green Lantern Energy. As my essence consists of this very energy, it...affects me as well.

[substandard_parts]

I will ask you more about this energy when the heroes have done their heroic deeds. It looks like they're on their way. [He is very curious, but he is not the one that can teleport and also there are other people on the way.]

[looksfine]

I do not mind questions.

Speaking does not drain me any more than remaining silent.

[substandard_parts]

Are you solid as well as energy based? [It's not that unusual, and not a strange choice for an AI. Just what sort of energy is this if she is a sort of solid sensory hologram?]

[strangehistorian]

Oh no. Someone's coming, that's good.

Will you need maintenance also to ... feel better?

[looksfine]

Negative.

All that is required is distance from the Crystals. My systems will be able to self-repair once I am out of their range.

[strangehistorian]

Oh, good.

[looksfine]

Are you unharmed?

[strangehistorian]

Oh, yes! My time suspension allows me to bypass most of the hazards here.

[She also ran into a bear, but she ate it.]

[looksfine]

You are most fortunate, then.
