monolith revisited | mingle

[mythbuster]

One fine morning, a boyish voice broadcasts to everyone around base:

There's a lot left to explore inside the Monolith, so I'll be visiting it today. If anyone else wants to come along, feel free.

Once all interested parties are assembled and traveling arrangements sorted out, they're off to the Monolith! Given the length of the journey, this will be a real time investment. A one-way trip takes nearly two hours by flight. Traveling in silence? Boring. How should they occupy their time? Travel games? Joy rides in the Seamoth? Maybe even some old-fashioned chit chat??

Once they arrive, there's plenty to explore. With some sniffing around, they'll find a map revealing that the Monolith contains a cafe and common area, crew quarters, lab, med bay, and "special alien containment" room. However, it'll take some ingenuity to actually reach each area. And by ingenuity I mean bombs.

Which is why the group will need a demolition crew! Get to blasting those walls in logical places. Or illogical places. No one ever said it had to be a good demolition crew. With enough willful destruction, surely all of the the Monolith's secrets will be laid bare in no time.

(( Here are the full details on what can be found in the Monolith! Create your own topics and go nuts. ))

[He's rummaging for food and comfortable furniture that they should somehow ship back to the base. It's Important.]

Really? Is that the same as purifying something, or a little different?

[mythbuster]

Something like it. Anger, enmity, despair -- whenever people are consumed by such things and a different face begins to take hold of them, my job was to exterminate that evil.

[imsorey]

[The sugar substances are going into Sorey's bag if Loki doesn't get to them first. Sugar is important!!!]

That sounds a lot like purification. Maybe it's not that different, then. We certainly wouldn't say no to more help if you're up to it.

[ Loki has no bag to speak of, so he'll wordlessly deposit anything he deems of value into Sorey's bag. Congratulations, he's Loki's mule now?? ]

Good. Another thing: I can always make use of the evil afterward, so if you can hold off on destroying them, I'd like to keep them. Circumstances allowing, of course.

[imsorey]

[Loki has +1 Protagonist Pack Mule who is only too happy to help.]

Make use of it how? I don't mind, but it seems kind of dangerous.

[mythbuster]

I can store it in my staff. If I ever need a power boost, I'll be able to absorb what's there and level up. It's only temporary, but it helps a lot.

[ Vague much?? That said, Loki seems genuinely happy at the prospect of a "level up". ]

[imsorey]

[A level up is fine in Sorey's book as long as it gets rid of the malevolence and doesn't turn Loki or anyone else into a hellion or a dragon.]

If you're sure it doesn't hurt you at all, then it should be okay. Just test it out before you decide to store all of it.
