[b][u]Brilliance 3.2 [i](10)[/i][/u][/b] Primary Text: [None] Secondary Text: Owl Sector Internal, OS-I6 10 QUI: Good to have you back, you hair-grayer, you cleft of the Traveler. Don't do that again. RAM: You don't know how happy I am to see you. SHU: What did I miss? RAM: Nothing much. QUI: Everything. You missed everything. Eva’s cooking, dancing Cabal, the man in the moon setting up shop in the Traveler. [b]Quist is delirious with happiness at seeing his friend awake again.[/b] SHU: Hm. I'll have to ask Ikora for an update. RAM: Wait until you're walking again. [b]Shun does not yet have full motor function after being administered the Transmission Cure. I wish Owl Sector marked it's entries with date stamps as to ascertain the recovery process of Shun.[/b] QUI: So she can cut you down at the knees. SHU: Ha. Ha. [b]Shun ... seems actually worried.[/b] [b][u]Fortitude 3.1 [i](10)[/i][/u][/b] Primary Text: [None] Secondary Text: Report of Geographer Quist, OS-I6 10, for Owl Sector, on TRANSMISSION. [i]Z. SHIRAZI CB-PZ-16.4 "Thank you," he said. He walked out of the facility, a thin, slight shape against the red light reflecting off the dunes. The last to recover, and the last to leave.[/i] [b]Yaris is the last to recover from the lethal experiments he was a subject for.[/b] [i]After I sent my research staff home, I entered Clovis Bray’s data isolation chamber with borrowed credentials. I had to know. My predecessor’s annotations are sparse, but I believe the data from previous trials show mortality rates of 50-60% for the last generation of injectable biotech. I should have been informed of this.[/i] [b]Clovis Bray fed Dr. Shirazi false information[/b] [i]My report will begin with the words: "Unacceptable, demonstrated risks preclude further human trials at this time." I must make Willa Bray see that this way lies disaster.[/i] [b]The SIVA scientist attempts to seal the experiments from Willa Bray and Clovis Bray as a whole, and will attempt to persuade Willa Bray to discontinue the experiments.[/b] Our own disaster, meanwhile, has been averted. The Owl Sector relaxed the comms prohibitions today. I called my children and told them I'd be home tonight. They look no worse for the time apart. Guardians are being treated at the Tower as they arrive, much to their disappointment. And Shun— [b]Sanctions are still in effect, however, communications are re-enabled, allowing Quist to finally be able to see his children and tell them he will finally be able to come home.[/b] [b][u]Glory 2.1 [i](10)[/i][/u][/b] Primary Text: [None] Secondary Text: Owl Sector Debrief to Ikora Rey, OS-I6 10 IR: Ramos. What's the news? RAM: Here to say goodbye. I am stepping down as Acting Liaison to the Vanguard. Liaison Shun Li will be resuming his duties shortly. He is in good health. Says he knew you'd be worried sick. IR: It's been a pleasure, Ramos. [b]Ikora shows no emotion. I wonder, how will she react to speaking to Shun after this debacle?[/b] [b][u]Magnificence 2.0 [i](10)[/i][/u][/b] Primary Text: [None] Secondary Text: Report of Bypass Authority Berriole, OS-I6 10, for Owl Sector records, assigned to incident TRANSMISSION. Overjoyed by your last communication, Ramos. Almost at the end of the Shirazi logs, which I will finish transmitting for completeness of Owl Sector records. [b]This likely refers to a communication of Ramos informing Berriole of Shun's recovery.[/b] [i]Z. SHIRAZI CB-PZ-14.1 At least this much of my conscience is clear. Susan left our facilities today, walking on the ground. Not quite smiling. None of us are smiling. We don't know what the long-term effects might be. But she appears healthy, for now.[/i] [b]Dr. Shirazi will remain haunted by this experience. Perhaps she changes professions, leaves Clovis Bray for other pursuits, or perhaps Clovis Bra has her erased, like Jun and Kit's pact to reveal Clovis Bray's true essence? Unfortunately, it is impossible to know.[/b] [b][u]Splendor 2.6 [i](10)[/i][/u][/b] Primary Text: [None] Secondary Text: Records of the Vanguard, OS-I6 10 IR: Neutralization is ongoing throughout the Tower. We should be clean soon. ZAV: About time. These prototypes contaminated too many of my Guardians. Infiltrated their systems. Altered their behavior. CY6: Brought joy and delight. Ruffled Ikora. Put a bee in Saladin's bonnet. What more could I ask? ZAV: All told, I prefer corporeal threats. Enemies we can fight. These particulate, self-replicating, amoral things disturb my soul. CY6: I still think they're cute. IR: The misfortunes of Liaison Shun aside, Zavala is right. We should be exploiting Golden Age technologies. We've never had Golden Age technologies exploit us. We did not know they possessed such capabilities. And I worry. CY6: Even though we've solved this problem? IR: I think in terms of unifying theories, Cayde.
