The New Guardians(Earth-47)-IC

Darklite used the hour to relax and closes her eyes for a bit. When Watcher announces that the translation is complete. "Alright.. let's here it."

She listens quietly as the message plays out. "That's not good....Echidna made her and sent her to make contact with the gahral.."

"It sounded much worse than that to me. It sounded like a threat." Trissa stood up. "The Gahral declared Echidna a rogue and exiled her." She looked down at Pandora and shook her head. "This vessel, this girl, can free her greatest achievements. You remember what Echidna is famous for right? Creating monsters."

"The message mentions loyalists. Echidna probably has some who are still loyal to her within the Gahral hierarchy. If they find out about Pandora, they might be able to use her to bring Echidna back. And it could be any of them."

Trissa turned her back on Pandora to look at Darklite grimly. "We can't let that happen. We can't give Pandora to the Gahral under any circumstances."

"Move aside!" Taking the lead, The Enlightened One takes control of the ship, pushing Arkanaount to a side. "Watcher! To me! Ic need to reach se precise coordinates, while avoiding enemy fire. Is sere a way to conceal sis vessel?" calls out the wizard. His mind goes through the spells that might help in this case.

OOC: Thinking of using Illusions in the Sand. It has an Area 125 cft which I'm not sure would be enough to conceal the ship. Hazid would make it look like an asteroid. He can affect three senses, so visual, tact, and... Sound?

" Plotting a course", Watcher mutters, " though I will need help since the layout might have changed since the Guardians' last visit. Oh and of course we have a cloaking field!"
A few screenslight up, one of them displaying: Cloaking device active. Please be mindful of other vehicles in your way.

A vehicle check from Arcanaut to help plot the course, please.

Ashley folds her arms and sighs at Trissa. "It is worse than that, obviously. I was already saying that I didn't trust the grahal, I sure as hell wasn't prepared to give Pandora over to them before, let alone now. Even if they pursue legal options, they don't have a leg to stand on with this recording now, not unless they want openly declare they support Echidna. And you can guess how well THAT'LL go over."

She looks over at the sleeping clone. "The question is what to do with her to keep her from them..."

[Neo-Paladin]

For the next 30 or so minutes, not much happens, so our heroines are free to have some rest before, unerringly, Watcher quietly states, " I hope I do not interrupt...but Pandora is awake again...and I am not entirely sure whether I like this new version of her..."

[Shock]

Trissa was off getting something to eat when Watcher made his announcement. Immediately, she stood and started back towards Pandora's room. She spoke to Watcher as she walked. "What do you mean 'new version'?"

[Neo-Paladin]

" Uhm...hard to say without showing you, really. But this new Pandora...she is smart. I have registered a 90% increase in brain activity as well as increased sensory perception. She..analysed me. And she is not afraid anymore, it seems...", the A.I stated, now sounding a bit uncertain itself.

Darklite frowns, pensive in thought. "Think it was triggered at the same time as the message when she heard Mabdh's voice?" She runs her fingers through her long hair and looks over at Trissa. "Alright, let's go, and let's keep our guard up."

[Neo-Paladin]

" Yes, I would say so. As far as we know, most of the Gahral that are currently around are at least as old as Echidna herself - meaning about 20-30,000 years. Since they achieved immortality, they rarely procreate. So, Echidna most likely engineered Pandora to have certain triggers that respond to a known Gahral's voice."
The door to Pandora's quaters slides open - revealing the girl sitting in the chair, looking up at the two heroines completely devoid of her former nervousness. " Greetings, humans", she states calmly and in a voice that is still eerily her own, despite the change in posture and voice.

[Shock]

Trissa

"Hello Pandora. How are you feeling?" Trissa entered the room and stood to the side of the door, making sure she'd be able to block it before Pandora could attempt to escape.

Darklite follows Trissa in, but steps to the side, letting the amazon warrior do the talking, keeping herself ready to respond, critically watching Pandora's movements for ay indication of sudden aggression.

[Neo-Paladin]

" I am feeling very well, thank you. Biological enhancements are at a 100% efficiency. Neural upgrade has been fully completed. I am now in possession of the most critical data about Echidna's - my clone's - experiments."
She pauses for a moment to study both Trissa and Darklite. " I see you both clearly now.You", she said, pointing at Trissa, " share a distant Gahral ancestry, thereby proving that the engineered traits I...Echidna... introduced to the Gahral genetic template are indeed dominant. And you...Darklite...are 100% human, though the genetic blocks have been rendered inert, allowing you to manifest what you call 'metahuman potential'."

[Shock]

"That is correct." Trissa glanced at Darklite and shrugged, not knowing if Pandora's assessment of her teammate was correct. It like was, but that hardly mattered. Knowledge of all of Echidna's experiments could be an extremely valuable resource. If Pandora was cooperative. And if they could find someone capable of understanding any of it. It would probably be best if they just got to the point.

"Now that your upgrades are complete, what do you intend to do? Do you know why you're here?"

[Neo-Paladin]

Pandora slowly nods. " I am a biological failsafe system. While I am a clone of Echidna, my brain has been altered after my creation to resemble a sphinx-type biocomputing device. I also carry within myself the key to the singularity where the Gahral under the leadership of Zeus entrapped Echidna's creations. I cannot access this sequence myself, though. And the fact that i was...activated most likely means that Echidna is dead..."
