His path take him towards an odd pillar - it's hollow, with some glowing things inside. As he goes by, he almost seems to hear a whispered voice - no, many whispered voices

"...chained..." "...hungry..." "...cannot leave..." "...want to feel..." "...release me..."

Hi August!

My contests are going well! So much so that I feel ok inviting friends over to watch one! And I saw contests interested you, so I ask: do you want to come to Sinnoh and watch one or two?

Ana ( @reformed-revival )

oh wow id love to see you! *sigh* guess it’s time to ask my mom for money for train tickets…

[rogue-nebula]

The door slams shut behind him. A cursory glance shows no VermilineCorp people, but still a very spooky place regardless. But hey, spooky is better than trying to throw him in a cell and interrogate him

[rogue-nebula]

You have met Kit Fisto? So the Hand of Water was correct: he does still live. Perhaps you may be useful after all

Kortar taps his ear

Prepare a holding cell and interrogation procedures. Our visitor may have useful information regarding a wanted target of interest. ...and potentially on the Ikezai situation

Another tap

I will let you carry out the interrogation. As much as I disdain your methods I cannot deny their results. Just ensure he is left able to divulge information. Aside from that, this matter is in your hands

And faintly, apparently from his comm, a most menacing laugh is heard

Kr333h3h3h3h3h3h3h3h3

He then starts walking closer. Behind him the green glowing door flashes, but Kortar doesn't seem to notice the door - thank goodness

The voice is gone, unfortunately. The guard has started blasting, but lucky for August he's not very accurate. A door in the corridor beyond, some ways away, is glowing bright aqua green. A door off to the side opens, and that blue guy - Kortar was his name from the vision - walks out

You heard that voice, didn't you? But how... you are not a Convytessan, as they are extinct. You are certainly not a Govorduul, as we would not allow one as imperfect as you into our ranks. So how...

He looks at the lightsaber

Ah, a Jedi. I suppose they would be able to hear it, though not with any clarity. In that case there will be no need for my full resource. Nevertheless, Jedi are... inconvenient for our plans. And besides, those who cannot fight for their stances are worth less than dust and should be reduced to such. The Jedi will soon learn their mistake in allowing you the glowing blade. A pity for them, I hear there are not many left.

Ominous Yellow energy - a direct parallel to Quasar's Aqua Green - starts to gather in Kortar's hand, and his brow furrows.

[rogue-nebula]

A voice rings out that apparently only he - and the blue guy watching from the look of things - can hear.

To the right! Under the viewing deck!

And lo and behold, in the direction the voice said, was a door ajar

...was it just him or did that sound like Quasar?

//credit to mun of @servantrunaway for the Twisted Cattiva and Twisted Flopie designs

The cat being hit by the beam begins to warp and change, growling and looking at August ferally. It then brutally attacks the bunny being, which undergoes a similar metamorphasis upon being struck repeatedly by the cat

By far the most terrible changes happen to the guard that was hit full blast, and he seems the angriest, hefting the gun that's now part of his hands toward August

It takes him long enough to get down there that the thing has already fired a dark plasma at the creatures, but thanks to his antics (and overshooting) he ends up moving the fire(?) one out of the way and the the guard holding her is hit instead. The other two creatures and the guard are doubled over, but still breathing, and the two other guards look like they're trying to comprehend what exactly just happened

[rogue-nebula]

They go to a room where there's someone August can't make out talking to the blue guy from his vision

...th1s w1ll 8low you 4w4y! 1'm sur3 of 1t! We shall see... ...Wh4t? I thought I sensed something... no matter. Begin the demonstration

The walls open to reveal a larger and more fortified room, where the guards are bringing out the box. THey open it and a trio of small creatures, all looking terrified out of their minds, fall out.

Machines whirr to life, a liquid black with flecks of blue and gold coursing through pipes on them. Some form of mechanical appendage extends down to reach the creatures

"Ionization 50% T minus 1 minute to blast"

The creatures try to run, but guards grab them

[rogue-nebula]

This may have been a mistake

The "employees" turn out to be armed and armored guards, their faces hidden behind a helmet with the V logo

Luckily they don't seem to notice August, apparently preoccupied with more of their fellows leading a shaking container along

[rogue-nebula]

A terminal next to him flares to life, having caught his voice

Quasar Nebula: Wanted criminal. Reward: 60,000,000 points. Leader of Resistance Group A: Nebula Incursionists. Crimes:

The list is so long and probably inflated that August tunes out. There are footsteps in a corridor beyond the room, and someone talking

"Have to get the stupid terminals recalibrated. They're just spouting random info whenever now"

"Problem for another day. The Shareholders want us in the test chamber"

"...only 60 mil? For the [redacted] who wrecked our mind control array? Chump change, that thing had to have been worth a Quadrillion at least"

THe footsteps fade slowly

[rogue-nebula]

After many more (thankfully safe) Doors, it begins to get ridiculous. Couldn't Ana have provided some semblance of guidance???

It gets to the point where August decides to turn around, but at that moment the room he went into (one resembling an elevator) decides to move away from the Door he opened - looks like this is an actual elevator. The doors open into a room that was not the one he left - some kind of brutalist-futuristic office building with a red V logo plastered on many surfaces - the same logo as the one in his vision some time ago

[rogue-nebula]

The room beyond is safe, at least. And thank goodness decay does not seem to be a thing in any of these rooms - they've all been eeriely spotless

There is another Door at the end of this Room though

[rogue-nebula]

THe Koraidon panicking alerted the Shadowglass - a Spike who proceeded to blast at them with a great beam of darkness. Fortunately they could still scurry back through

And here, in the first room, there's only one other Door that doesn't involve water of unknown but likely large amounts - the one with the loud AC

He heads out into a multi-leveled room. THankfully, the glass is beneath him, attacking the worms - which by the way are moving - and not noticing him. There is a door on the same level, but it would require him moving under a worm

[rogue-nebula]

The Room has some other Doors dispersed throughout, and by the look of things, none of them are locked. Through one, as he gets close, August can hear rushing water. Through another, August can hear an AC going way too hard. As he listens to a third, the noise of a Shadowglass is heard beyond it. It might be a good idea to get his pokeballs + the lightsaber if he doesn't already have them on him

[rogue-nebula]

Growing bored, August opens a door at the back of Quasar's classroom - they still haven't replaced the door the Shadowglass broke - fully expecting more cleaning supplies or fuse boxes or something, but discovers... not that

The space before him is much larger than could be contained in a closet under any other science besides dimensional

[rogue-nebula]

Oh right where are my manners? Baron Twyst Von Jokewyld at your service. I've been told my current role is as the Astronaut Lost's "Warlock Patron", though the moniker is not fully accurate I would say

hey. hey are you alive. I am poking you with a stick.

-@ho-oh-mosexual

The Astronaut Lost is still missing. None know where he might be. Well, I do, but I shan't tell ;) If you have a question of Convytessan nature, the Variable Free over at @freeroaming-curiosity knows somewhat of such matters, and she is still intact
