To Mineral! (Moore, 88 days left)

[Anastasia]

We'll just do it solo in this case, since it's safe territory and a quickie. What's your goal here?

[Nephrite]

Just collect the folks who agreed to come, then make sure Elena has them all vetted so we're not just accepting criminals who are going to betray us and so on.

[Anastasia]

Huh.

You end up seeing about three dozen people waiting for you, of all stripes, races, types and more. One, a semi-transparent humanoid with dark green skin and empty eyes, merely looks at you and says, "The time, it is at last here. The will, it is now ready."

[Nephrite]

...That's a lot more people than he was expecting!

Take 10 for 76 for the guy who kinda looks like a ghost!!

[Anastasia]

What skill are you taking 10 on?

[Nephrite]

Sorry! K:P

[Anastasia]

You aren't sure what the hell it is. Some sort of unique outsider? Possibly something related to a ghost? It's far from normal, and if you had to guess, you'd guess unique outsider. That's basically a catch-all for any outsider that doesn't fit the norms of their race's various castes.

[Nephrite]

Wow, well, uh... ...huh. Maybe Tepen or Vul'lath will know... or want to find out??

How did this thing even get into any debt?! That's an even bigger question!!

Moore smiles and gives everyone a bow. "Before you join, please understand that we will be making sure everyone here is honest and willing to work with us. You may have to wait to get assigned anything specific, but we'll work it out as we go."

He will open a gate for them (with his handy-dandy magic flute) and get them all there!

[Anastasia]

Just getting them over and getting that sorted then?

[Nephrite]

Yep, if the Silverbrow Consortium needs anything they know how to get ahold of Moore so he isn't going to bother them right now. He'll help get people sorted and placed (and ask Tepen and Vul'lath about this weird ghost outsider)

[Anastasia]

Sorting them takes a few hours. Nothing interesting, just the mundane work of being an officer overseeing things that have to be done. Thereafter you manage to catch Vul'lath in the library, looking up over top of his book as you fly in. "Moore," he greets quietly. "You look as if you have yet another question."

[Nephrite]

"You've figured me out." Moore says with a small shrug and a smile. "Better to ask questions and receive wisdom than stay stupid forever, right?" He smiles and clears his throat. "I met an interesting individual in Brightwater... I've never seen something like him and couldn't place it at all." He will give Vul'lath a brief summary of his characteristics!

[Anastasia]

"I can safely say that I have no idea," Vul'lath says promptly, "He is likely a mongrel or unique creature, the simplest course of action is to ask him."

[Nephrite]

Huh. That wasn't the reaction he was thinking he was going to get at all.

"Very well, If I happen across him again I will do so. Thank you." Moore gives a tip of his invisible hat and will leave him to his studies.

If he happens across Space Ghost he'll ask, but otherwise the next thing on his list was to go to Mount Celestia for adamantine. Technically speaking he has no need to go there for adamantine now, but he's fine going if just to see what wisdom the mountain has to offer.

[Anastasia]

Fair warning that you know from previous trips: Trips to Celestia aren't short and can run into the multi day. Are you okay with this?
