Chapter Two - Session 13

Legendary Ally - ST3-4M

ST3-4M has recovered from his stay at the Scrapyard's hospital and has never been more excited to help his new friends. There's still a lot of mystery surrounding his origin and his memories don't seem to all be there, but that hasn't dampened his enthusiasm.

The Staff of Shadowed Fog

Ryshard has upgraded his staff with the help of Naila's alchemy to utilize an old vial of Tenebre-infused rain. Whether Naila's unstable magic will help or hinder moving forward, however, is anyone's guess.

Byeol's Car

Fixed up and ready to go, this little car should make navigating around the Outlands just a little bit easier.

Signal Jammer

Marian's hardlight prosthetic has been cleared of NeoCity's trackers thanks to Byeol's hypertech knowledge; though there is still one lingering signal being sent and received... With this knowledge in mind, Byeol has also helped the Scrapyard take advantage of similar protocols to help protect further NeoCity refugees.

Just My Luck - Part 2

Fio has set Tabor up with Phasticaar's top researchers in the hopes that they can help him fix his curse or track down the mage who cast it on him in the first place. It also gives him a small bit of income he can acquire that's a tad less dangerous than what he has usually ended up doing.

The Runaway - Part 2

Byeol disables/modifies the trackers found in Marian's hypertech, allowing her to live a bit more comfortably without fear of her mother tracking her down. Fio offers Marian a place to stay either with her parents or Ser Thornburg while she's in Nexus.

ST3-4M

Formerly some sort of experiment 'owned' by V.E.N.U.S. Tactical, this large cyborg boasts an impressive physique and a friendly attitude. While he was likely an Orc at some point, ST3-4M's hypertech parts give him dire wolf-like qualities and obscure much of whatever organic parts are still left. Personality wise, he seems quite loyal with a strong desire to be helpful and a love of the simple things like enjoying the outdoors, physical activity, and eating snacks.

Tabor Hazard

While a bit pessimistic, Tabor is genuinely grateful that Fio is going out of her way to help him out. At least now he has an avenue for resolving his curse.

Marian Swann

With her arm fixed, Marian seems to have increased confidence in her ability to defend herself should that need arise. With Fio's assistance in offering her a place to stay back in Nexus, she should also manage to remain safe while she hides out from whoever her mother may send to track her down.

Bastion Progress

Bastion progress remains at 5/7 Pigwiggle has been left at the Bastion. ST3-4M has been left at the Bastion. Sprout seems frustrated with Pigwiggle, concerned the creature will eat his precious crops. Astra is delighted with her new companions, their energy a welcome change to the otherwise quiet atmosphere. Mineralis is happy for the company, and continues to recover.  

Notable Moments

• While everyone else has things to wrap up, Dwell and the Garages essentially re-create Blaseball sans the horrible horror murders. By the time they're done, it doesn't really seem to resemble baseball anymore but everyone has a lot of fun.
• We learn that, Adora is interested in educational podcasts as well as this universe's equivalent of Hatsune Miku; and that she has created her own cassette tapes explicitly for listening to these things in Byeol's car.
• We learn that Gertrude Robinson and Piperit Mentha have both been guest starts on some of Adora's favorite podcast episodes (much to Fio's rage and Ryshard's delight).

Quotes

"I am not normal people, I am small people." -- Ryshard on how it will be easier to fit in the car despite it being over capacity.

"Please do not fill me with shrapnel." -- Ryshard, on Dwell's plan to weigh him down with rocks and scrap metal so he can avoid a booster seat requirement.
