Breath of Fire Arc

[Dracos]

Again the shrine grew smooth, not a trace of the distortion as the sun shone down on Ryder and the approaching Hotaru.

As Ami could once again see the shrine it looked perfectly normal in the desert sunlight.

Fearless Leader

[RangerShade]

This time she had a plan.

Whipping out the mercury computer, she set it to run an area scan.

Then she taking a deep breath, Ami closed her eyes and concentrated.

[Dracos]

The mecury computer displayed an error:

"Unidentified User.  Shutting down."   The screen went blank.

Fearless Leader

[RangerShade]

Ami opened her eyes...and her jaw dropped.

"Unidentified user?!"

She tried imputting her passcode in again.

[Dracos]

"Error, Administrating defensive systems."

Suddenly an electric shock ran through Ami's body.

Another small wave appeared in the stone, lasting slightly longer this time.

Fearless Leader

[RangerShade]

"Cough!"

Her hair now fritzed out by the electric charge, the violently twitching Ami stared at her traitorous computer.

"How could you do this to me? I'm your owner!"

Then she turned towards the others and raised a finger.

"Not..one...single...word...about..this."

[RyderHakubi]

"I know the problem..."

Ryder mentioned, with his eyes shifted over to Ami...

"You have masu DNA right now, remember?  And the Mercury Computer was only designed to be used by a single person, with one set of unique DNA..."

[Asrana]

Shaking her head and raising her hands in surrender, Hotaru backed away from Ami a bit and towards Ryder.

Hotaru nodded as Ryder spoke, "That would make sense...can you think of any way for us to use the computer, Ryder?"

[RyderHakubi]

"Honestly, no clue... I doubt the thing has much life left in it anyway.  Remember, it works off energy from Mercury itself, and well, I don't think there's a Mercury around here.  Same reason I think you can't transform anymore..."

Ryder then returned his attention to the stone, watching it ripple every few seconds or so...

[Dracos]

The stone stopped rippling.

Fearless Leader

[RyderHakubi]

Ryder blinked when the stone stopped rippling, and told the girls, eyes still on the shrine, "Please girls, I'm trying to concentrate... if you really want to talk, leave me be..."

[Asrana]

Hotaru nodded, quietting down as she turned back to the stone slab, her eyes searching for any disturbance in the smooth surface.

[Dracos]

No sign of any disturbance marred the smooth surface of the stone.

Fearless Leader

[RangerShade]

There was something she was missing here.

The stone seemed to be...reacting to something.

It was time to try a little trial and error.

Ami closed her eyes and concentrated again.

[Dracos]

OOC: Concentrated on what?  Details people....
