Ahead lies...?

[Anastasia]

Amdi cries of alarm from air elementals and others, one gigantic hand comes down.

Xandra merely waits, unconcerned.

The hand scoops the two of you up gently, enfolding you into darkness. There's a momentary ripple all around you, a feeling of plane shift, something you know well.

[Nephrite]

Moore simply waits!

Surely there's going to be a good explanation for everything that's been going on behind the scenes...

[Anastasia]

You are put down. You seem to be in an open plane, nothing but grass and sunshine as far as you can see. The figure before you shrinks down to a mere Hanna sized version of himself. He's big and burly, clad in plate armor and a horned helmet. He has eyes of pure blue, like the sky.

"You're Moore?" he asks, "You're Xandra?"

[Nephrite]

"That is correct." Moore says, simply.

[Anastasia]

With an openly exasperated expression, "You went out of your way to bother me why now?" he says, bluntly. "Do they not pass out common sense in Celestia any more?"

[Nephrite]

Moore takes in a deep breath.

"Because I was told to seek you out, unless there's another 'elder titan' you're aware of that knows why he's back." He says, slowly and calmly.

[Anastasia]

Are you immune to fear?

[Nephrite]

I am, in fact.

[Anastasia]

It's a terrible gaze, yet you don't break under it.

"Contrary to what you may know, there are more than a few of us," Brani declares, looming over you. "More than that, IF Medi was back, you'd be meddling in something best not meddled in."

[Nephrite]

Moore stands -- well, flies his ground.

"I am aware that he is under some sort of... non-interference agreement that I am making very difficult." Moore says. "I..." He looks over towards Xandra. "Surely, they must know about... 'that,' right?"

Since I realize I am being even too vague for my own good, he's referring to the Ao/Shar stuff they spoke to Io about.

[Anastasia]

Xandra shakes her head minutely.

"Whatever you're taking about," the titan rumbles, "I suggest you talk about it amid yourselves and kindly stop chasing up hills. There's enough trouble in Creation without making more of your own."

[Nephrite]

"Let's pretend for a moment that he is alive, and you know how to find him and speak to him." Moore says. He withdraws a few pieces of paper and holds them out. "In that incredibly, hypothetical scenario, that probably doesn't exist, would you have him look at these? I am... well aware of what I am asking of an elder titan, so I would please, humbly ask that you understand that it is of dire importance, and I would not ask such a thing foolishly."

They're what Moore has collected so far on Calley's research, to be clear.

[Anastasia]

Diplo check, -80 circumstance penalty.

[Nephrite]

[21:37] <Nephrite> roll 1d20+50 let's get a 20
[21:37] <Kobot> Nephrite rolled 1d20+50 let's get a 20 --> [ 1d20=4 ]{54}

[Anastasia]

Brani looks less than amused, "After all this, you want me to look over your...what is that, research? You have a titan's balls, I'm amazed you're flying with them weighing you down." he cracks his knuckles, "But do you have a titan's power?"
