Inheritor Alliance Soularium Activation

Celestial / Cosmic

Dr. Jasper Artemis and Oron Lyons are present when the Soularium is activated for the very first time. Two captured Terminals are transferred into mechanical bodies, though the long term effects of this are not known at this time.

The atmoflyer lands in Northfields main camp. As their newest companion is escorted to receive medical treatment Jasper asks @Oron Lyons to pack his bags while he goes to speak with the Garrison commander for Orons reassignment.   Shortly thereafter they are back in the atmoflyer and heading north to a large facility next to the lagrange gate leading to Hauvis. As they fly closer the large grey building can be seen with the large lettering spelling out: Artemis Institute of Metaspace Sciences   They land next to a Merchant ship with the name Chrysanthemum, The Inheritor Alliance and AIMS logos painted onto the sides. As they disembark Jasper speaks to the crew and looks fondly over the Roundabout ship before escorting Oron to what would be his quarters during his stay at this facility.   The night passes and Oron sees little of the doctor as he prepares for the process, the exception being during dinner where Oron and Jasper share a simple meal of Mac and cheese.   The next day starts early as multiple Metapsions from Dremlas academy arrive at the facility for Jaspers demonstration. Orion is directed by one of the employees to a large chamber in the center of the facility. Inside he sees the large group forming a semicircle around the north end of the room. Oron is lead to one side where he is given a clear view of The Soularium, Jasper, and the two Terminals strapped to tables positioned at a 75 degree angle.     Jasper stands before the terminals looking over their mutations.   “Please forgive me my friends, soon I will offer you a choice, a chance at a new life or oblivion. Though you do not understand now. Please, may your soul have faith in me. “ he says to them before putting a modified rebreather on both of them, a large tank attached.   As the last of the people enter the room the lights dim. “If everyone is ready, then let us begin”   He presses a button and the masks fill with gas and the terminals quietly pass on, Jasper steps past them and turns away from the crowd. __   Jasper stands before The Soularium no longer suited in his power armor he looks to be wearing some variant of a wetsuit exposing his arms and legs, his glowing veins on full display. The Soularium’s central crystal body pulsed cyan rhythmically in slow motions and the large device thrummed in harmony awaiting its true purpose.     Jasper places his hands onto what looked to be a control panel along the outer ring of the device: though lacking any physical buttons it instead consisted of several psionic resonance nodes Jasper wrapped his hands around.   He takes a deep breath and begins channeling all of his effort and begins to breath in rhythm with The Soularium. With each exhale the inner light glows brighter, as do Jasper’s veins before dimming once more. After a few moments the pulses have reached their peak. Thrumming in and out nearly mimicking a great heart. Jasper turns around, his eyes now glow magenta and both his eyes and veins glow in rhythm with The Soularium. The loose hair not tied into a bun blows wildly in a Wind that isn’t there.   “ THIS IS OUR CANVAS, METASPACE IS OUR INK, AND WE ARE THE PALETTE “ Jasper says through many voices, all seeming to be his own. “ WE CAN TAKE THESE COLORS “   Jasper steps forward towards the recently deceased Terminals and places both of his open hands on their heads and pulls back making a pinching motion with his hands. As he does this he begins to pull stands of colored light from their bodies, one yellow, one blue.   In each open hand he now holds dancing wisps of these colors and begins to speak again   “ IN THEIR PURE FORMS AND PAINT ANYTHING WE WANT WITH THEM, IF WE MIX THEM TOGETHER WE CAN CREATE ENTIRELY NEW COLORS, EXPANDING OUR PALETTE. IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO MIX THEM APPROPRIATELY, WITH CARE.   IF WE MIX WITH CARE WE CAN PAINT A PORTRAIT LIKE NONE OTHER, IF WE ARE RECKLESS WE COULD RUIN THE CANVAS FOREVER. “   Energy begins to form around Jasper arching between his limbs, threads of light begin forming around him and begin to stretch outwards in every direction: like spiderwebs dancing in the breeze. The wisps he held now dance around him. Jasper seems to struggle for a moment before bracing himself.   “THIS IS OUR INHERITANCE, WE CHOOSE ANOTHER CHANCE… WE CHOOSE NEW LIFE!* “   Jasper turns around again to The Soularium and places his hands upon the great crystal, funneling all of the energy into the great machine. The first of the souls, the last to enter. The light quickly grows to immense levels and with a clap of thunder a psychic shockwave radiates from the great machine. Jasper buckles under the pressure and collapses to the ground, he quickly sits up now no longer glowing to make sure the crowd is unharmed, after confirming this he smiles.   _ [3:26 AM] He gets up in a hurry and turns back to The Soularium now slowly pulsing once more. Inside the two wisps dance around, no more than an inch in size. Despite this Jasper looks worried.   “Come on… what will you choose?…”   For a moment the wisps slowly float about before The Soularium gives a confirming hum. The two colored souls then coalesce then break apart each now multicolored and dancing freely within the large crystal.   “Ah ha! Yes! Okay, okay…. Now…”   Jasper reaches once more for the control board, suddenly on both sides of the control board compartments open and two magenta crystals that are connected to the device are elevated into view, each one pointed like a diamond on the bottom but completely rounded and smooth on top.   Jasper points his open hand at the center of the control board and begins to pull the new soul from the device, he then pulls the multicolored strand of light and channels it into the crystal and does the same for the other crystal. Both begin to glow steadily, in harmony with The Soularium.   Jasper signals to someone and a panel in the floor opens. Two dark metal frames begin to rise from the ground. Their design was almost biomechanical: they were humanoid in appearance with clear musculature, but their height was above the norms being a bit under three meters and were far too spindly for anything organic. Across their chests sat the large Inheritance Rune. Their heads were almost triangular in shape and were marked with a single large eye and a vocal opening towards the bottom.   Jasper grabs the crystals: The soul stones, and brings them over to the Shells of The Reclaimed and inserts them just below the nape of the neck. He lifts his hands up, grabs his staff and walks in front of them with his back to the crowd. Like fluid, magenta light begins to flow through their joints and chests before finally their eyes begin to slowly blink into a solid light.   Jasper leans heavily on his staff the whole process clearly wearing him out “Welcome home” he pushes out.
