You prepare yourself and command: "HoloRec, play!"

The image that forms, looks remarkably like you. Well, like the you in the mirror, anyway. You look tired and distressed.

You—that is, the other you—speaks: "Very... Very nearly lost all data access there. Something's wrong with our brain. Something's wrong. I keep forgetting things. I think I'm missing entire years by this point. No, decades... Centuries... It took me three days to remember the data access password. We can't afford to lose that, so I changed the password to a simpler one: her name. I know that's not the most secure, but we're not gonna be using it for that much longer, are we?"
She shakes her head.
"Data access is additionally important because in case you forgot: I had to lock down the elevator," she continues, "I kept... wandering down there without meaning to. Tripping over cables and wires and making a complete mess of it. We can't afford to break anything we might not remember how to fix! So the elevator needs

That's it! That's your login! You turn off the HoloRec and turn the lights back on.
You have a login and you have a computer terminal right here in your room. Now all you need is a keyboard and you got 'data access', which sounds pretty important!
But you're not going to find that here.

You step up to the door and hit the triangle button. The door slides open. Finally, you step out of your room and into the hallway beyond.

From here you can see no less than eight different doors, not counting the one you just came through. To your right, three doors cluster at the end of the hallway, each marked with a different glyph. You know these. Maya has shown them to you. The most ostentatious one belongs to one Serenity-100, who you assume was the guy in charge of the History Unmade. The captain perhaps?

To your left there are five more doors, two of which are marked with glyphs. The closest door appears to lead to a bathroom. The door at the very end of the hallway is open. You can hear indistinct chatter coming from there.
The hallway also continues around a bend to the far left.

What now? Follow the voices? Or try some doors?

>>1131202
Ah shit. If anyone was listening to that, they know your login too, since you told them about your identity issues.

>>1131205
Why is there a bathroom? You don't eat solid food. I guess just for peeing? Well, go if you gotta go I guess. Kindof surprised you haven't had to since being confined to quarters.

Eavesdropping could be useful, but aside from that... maybe the captain's quarters has a keyboard?

Serah’s illusion is wearing Dotti’s fancy underwear! That way Dotti still does her job of distracting everyone:

Speakin' of otherworldly things, what's even the deal with Lutricalia? Why're you so needing on someone to squeeze for it? Hopefully there's more to look forward to than the women.
Other than that, though, the spider must be pretty out of place around here, yeah? Must be something to do with the captured riches from Axath and Astglith. A foreign stowaway, perhaps?

There're handholds in the wall, with each step roughly textured and gently inclined away from the sea. I will... probably survive.
I start down.

>>1129213
The beach is narrow and rocky, but pleasant. I think some sea caves line the bottom, reflections off the water quite pretty at the right times of day. Nice skerries to swim out to, as well.
Otherwise, just the docks. Some ships, a few buildings.

Maybe. Or maybe she's just nervous. She does seem a bit... I don't know. I'm not great at this. I'm sure I'll see her again sometime. I can get to know her better then.
I'm sure mom'd be proud if I managed into a family of status like the Dubhlochs, but not much chance I'd make it past their approval. Might be better served looking for other options.

After a harrowing journey in not falling down the stairs I come to the docks. Few around, given the lift's out, but in spite of the ocean's breeze faintly smells of many people. Other people. Other... kinds. Do other kinds come here? I suppose the captured ship, but I tho- wait a minute how is he down here already?!

“Will a year be enough time?” Casey asks. She stretches a bit, feeling her body settle back into its natural state after converting itself to mana. The mouse plops down in one of Cecil’s patio chairs, the cool cast metal feeling soothing on her well-pounded butt.

Cecil shrugs and states, “It will have to be. I’ll use what connections I can to speed up preparations. But I’m of the opinion that keeping the aegis long term just isn’t viable: it’s too high profile and powerful.” He sighs, ruffling his feathers as he continues, “And this way, Clio and Nemo can finally come out of hiding.”

“Would something like that work? An exclusive contract?”

“It came up during my research while planning our heist. It’s a somewhat uncommon practice, but fey law would have to respect it.” Mr. Ochre adjusts his glasses as he recalls, “From what I could tell, it’s mostly used to establish a long term, er-if you’ll forgive the term- ‘cat and mouse’, rivalry.”

“What about dealing with… you know, non-fey thieves? They already hired Nemo once.”

Cecil chuckles and looks sideways at the mouse, “Oh, I don’t expect that to be a problem anytime soon. You have yourself to thank for that.”

Casey stares blankly for a second, trying to catch the bird’s meaning.

“Don’t you remember? You caught Ometra double-crossing Nemo, and they got branded and exiled for their trouble. The barista made a song about it!” He shakes his head and smiles. “More importantly: the thieves guild isn’t going to be taking any contracts on us from fey clients anytime soon. Especially when we have two of their top former members allied with us. “

Though, of course, we won't be making it easy. That just won't be any fun!

...I say that, hiding it after we use it will either be a difficult, last second endevour, or it will be almost impossible to retrieve at all.

The Aegis is too powerful to keep, but also potentially too important to get rid of permanently (e.g. yeeting it into space). There could be cataclysmic disasters that it's needed for, but also villains who become unstoppable with it.

The exclusivity contract, if its not limited to just the Aegis, might also mean the mice have a permanent band of shapeshifter thieves who devote themselves to pretending to be the mice (with personal training, no less) for thievery, fey shenanigans, or just to have surprise sex with the mice / mice's friends whenever they want. And fates help the worldc if other Changelings get tips and start to do it on a mass scale - horny mice guardians everywhere.

Also, Mr. Ochre is quite the info broker it seems.

1. Snake dagger. It can poison opponents with its strike. Costs 6 emblems.

2. Cursed dagger. It is much more effective against ghosts and other similar opponents. Costs 8 emblems.

3. Clown Dagger. It doesn't have any additional abilities. It only makes the person who gets stabbed with it makes them laufe. Costs 5 emblems.

4. Flame Dagger. It can add a fire effect to the attack. Costs 8 emblems.

5. Piercing Dagger. It can go through defence, but in order to work, the user has to inflict pain to themself. Costs 8 emblems.

6. Mirror Dagger. It is a strong weapon, but it can break after being used. Costs 9 emblems.

7. The Living Sword. It is an enchanted weapon, but it needs a good relationship with its user. Costs 10 emblems.

8. The Bloodthirsty Sword. It gives bloodlust to the user of this weapon. Costs 10 emblems.

Bats can hear much better than the rest of the company here. You might be able to whisper her a message without anyone but her hearing, while both being in your 'role' or not causing disruptions (or pain, for her).

But we also need to establish if we can trust her, with that device and the King controlling her. She could be lacking memories of her time before Cadvere, or prefers this... Role over her old life.

>>1131067
Might be a bad idea to do directly. The King / device might be actively forbidding that topic of discussion in favor of a fabricated royal backstory, or she might not know her past at all anymore.

A potential approach could be asking about her 'lineage/family' and then discreetly asking if she has/had any siblings, relatives, heirs - estranged or otherwise.

And maybe spin a tale of becoming the mouse you are today "after watching a bat cloak herself in grief and Sorrel-*cough*, sorrow after a tragedy."

You should also ask about the 'duels' topic. Surely not one to the death? That seems a brash way to settle arguments or end a lineage.

As for the 'health tonic', could ask if it is a bitter medicine as most are, or if it is one that burns the throat like a strong spirit.

Milf detected, time to imitate the captain and try to seduce her. Start by trying to make her smile.

i dont think we should pry too deeply, considering that most everyone here is being controlled to some degree, but being able to gleam some info would be good

Ask if she were in charge, what would she do with you?

Possible answers to the question that was asked:

A) Accept his suggestion.

B) Refuse his suggestion.

C) Other suggestions.

B)don't be ridiculous. have a death mask made of the deceased like a normal person. So much easier to keep clean.

if you don't know, a death mask is when you take a plaster cast of their face and use that as a mold for a face replica

A) We need for him to steal the necklace and if that means that he needs to use the dead head of our opponent for a wierd fetish purpose, it is a small price to pay.

Too much information, Robert. I'm starting to think that we're the only mentally stable ones here in this world. But then, would that mean we're the odd ones out? Maybe we should lean into that crazy?

A. I don't like this guy (don't let him know that), but beggars can't be choosers, and he did help us, and has shown to be very professional. He's just lucky he's really good at his job.

But I ask that he waits before he starts trying to burgle Iron Dredge so we can send our spies to gather intel for him (find traps, hidden blindspots, plan out routes, listen in on our enemies). Iron Dredge is on another level, and while Robert is outstanding as a thief, I want to make sure we plan things out to make things safer, or at least easier on him. This is a pretty big task after all, and anything worth doing is worth doing well. For now, ask what info he'll need that our spies can gather.

and before we send our spies, we will need fear feaster Fearaia to eat the spies' fears, considering what happened with Shadow Taker.

What do we do with Kenku's body though? would Migreveo (and the worms) want it? or do we keep it hidden? can't give to skull lips without the head.

And Bobbie, I know it feels wrong to call yourself a monster queen after killing a monster, but he and Shadow Taker wanted your entire kingdom to suffer and die. Unfortunately, we are going to get monsters that will hate you and want you dead no matter what you do. It's a big world after all. It's your followers that you have to think and care about and protect from humans, and yes, sometimes other monsters alike.
Also, human kings and queens kill other evil humans from time to time, this isn't different.

...what is wrong with us...

>>1131110
You know you've fucked up when kome is the one to tell us somethings wrong

>>1131112
We really to tone down ASAP.

Let's selflessly find some prostetic legs for the new priestess from the local blacksmith, then wholesomely agree to take them to her for free from the altruistic blacksmith (without engaging in dialogue, for we know the blacksmith will understand), then unfetteredly attach the legs to the priestess so she can walk and she'll help us (again, no dialogue, the surprise will be espectacular for her).

After that, we unite the priest and priestess in marriage so that...uh... actually I just kinda think they'll make a good couple (and that'll help with the Golden Ending. Maybe. I don't know. Who cares, man! It's True Love!)

>>1131104

Wait, this isn't magical absorption at all! The real boobie priestess is still in the snake's gullet, stretching her out into a boobie'd shape!

that sounds more intense than what we have. is it always survival drills? don't you have any sports?

Honestly, that WOULD be a cool reveal.

Milk is filtered blood.
Aim for the titties.

2) Let's wrestle the homeless for their blood! Each type of homeless has special abilities to gain.

Bums sleep a lot, so they increase your recovery efficiency during resting periods!

Drifters travel a lot, so they increase your speed.

Squatters give you sneaking and defense bonuses from all the houses they occupy.

Junkies are particularly edible and teach you how to cast mass halucinations.

The sky is the limit!

(If we lose, we buy them first need products instead *yawn*)

>>1131172
Let's just kill all the homeless people, all that blood will make us unstoppable and the disappearance of all the undesirable people will benefit the society.

Don't be a dick.

Aim for the rich and famous. Randomize your targets among the upper 1%.

2. The classic breakup ultimatium. It's either me or the drugs Maeve!

3. Split timeline action kicks in, but what happens helps start anchoring things nicely. Breakup Jason busts up the local drug dealers to slowly eliminate her access to them while sober couple jason kicks their ass to keep them away from Maeve while she tries to sober up.

4. It gets rough though, she relapses! Jason works to get her into a rehab center.

5. Chapter ending with meeting her coming out of rehab.

Then, perhaps sit and have lunch with Roy or send a flirty text over to Seb and see how his days been going so far.

A classic "they argue, get drunk and high while arguing that they need to stop getting drunk and high, he rants about seeing infinite timelines, she thinks he's finally lost it, but then the little pieces of irrefutable evidence of his crack theory add up over weeks and she loses it thinking that either Jason is completely insane or the world itself is".

Can't go wrong with a classic crime spree!

Polycule route.

What if...

-Jason spends some time learning above Maeve, then realizes meeting her folks is essential to learning why she is like she is.

-Maeve's dad/stepdad (or Mad, for short) is super rude, says it's all Maeve's own fault. Jason fights him. Mad breaks a bottle on jason's head. Jason is starting to strangle Mad but the hit in the head knocks something lose and he sees that him bruteforcing change is what ends up ruining his and Maeve's lives longterm. He stops the fight and runs

-Later Maeve confronts him about bearing up his step/dad. Jason heartfeltedly apologizes, saying his attempts to help Maeve just keep twisting the knife.
He decides it's best if he stays away for a while and try fix his own life before continuing to mess with hers. This descision will affect the story deeply near the end of the movie.

You fire a scan down the line, and get pinged back 4 paths, one of them has to lead to the giant door, but you're unsure of which one. You're not splitting up with Tien that's for certain.

Which path do you take?

Let's try B again.

Do you think you can create a false path down the tunnel you don't go down? Might be overkill but you never know if enemies could be sent to follow you.

yeah B

scout the docks. the big ships may have life boats you can use.

Well, you don't need to rebuild a fully-functioning boat yet, just something that represents the concept of a boat and can move large quantities of stuff without disintegrating from the inertia.

Take every boat you can and just... move them, I guess. Don't worry about any damage you inflict.

Grab some fruits, but also try to extract a tree with the roots and dirt attached. If you can grow a fruit farm, you're basically set for the rest of the decade.

Also, consider calling up the florafolk to investigate independently. They might know more about harvesting and replanting stuff from this biome.

>>1130973
Let's try some of the fruit on our way to some kind of town with a dock. Smaller boats would have docked there.

Nice.

Some good boats and structures, but theres a lot of interesting plants too.
Might be able to diversify our seed stock and crop base too.
Worth a quick look.

Can we reshape the magic cap into something different looking, but still functional (e.g. cowgirl hat, tiara, valkyrie headdress, laurel..)? The current cap doesn't inspire godhood.

Golden ring jewelry, a goddess-like toga and a laurel-wreath version of the magic cap for the proper 'goddess' look.

A priestly/cult-like for Aloe, with her staff's symbol.

Both outfits have exposed knockers / a boob window, to allow room for the enhance knockers spell.

Oh yeah, you have to let her know when the bear is out of earshot. tell her to stop/slowdown and let her know now.

A few things stick put about the criminals.
- The weird gargling water noise from the sink coincided with that happening to Lana's sink. In the bar the water was suspicious. In Lana's house, the water bubbled and she passed out - was there gas or poison in it?

- Kaari had her water turned off and it lead to her flea troubles.

Do the criminals have access to the water piping somehow?

- SOMEONE at the bar spiked the champaigne, either the whole bottle or the drinks. Not to mention sabotaged the bar in general, probably to get the band to quit early or something.

While Luanne does know about the fleas issue and her bartending, its not a stretch that Kaari was watched by the criminals at some point.

Dente wouldn't know about the fleas unless he heard it from the talk with Judith. And Judith seems too legit in general. Luanne seems to know both but why would she help Lana then?

I think the bear bugged Judiths office. That would let her keep tabs on the rangers to evade them. And would explain how she knows about bartending/fleas as it was talked about with Judith.

Another note with the criminals, they were entirely too willing to get civvies to kill them or finish them. Either they're spiteful enough to get civvies in trouble for murder in non-self defense (implying a cop is in on this) or they fear getting caught and 'bailed out'.

When you get back home, probably best to double check your sink and check if there's any sign of intrusion or theft (or surveilance bugs).

First priority, tell Judith poachers are pretending to be Rangers, have badges, and were listening in on the frequency you were using.

The wolverine you chased away earlier also had a radio, so its clear the poachers were spying on the rangers or have someone on the inside who knows how things work. Make sure anyone using the radio can properly ID themselves as an actual ranger (ID number, full name, etc) or switches to another frequency.

And if you catch the Wolverine or other poachers, check their frequency, it might be the one used by their criminal group to spy on THEM.

First off, tell her that these aren't just random poachers that she's dealing with. This is an organized crime syndicate with ties to a drug cartel. They also know way too much about how the rangers operate; enough to impersonate them and spy on them at least, and possibly to infiltrate them at worst. Some of her coworkers might be compromised; they're clearly not above blackmail after all. This is probably something that is going to require a coordinated law enforcement response.

Before you say anything about Dente, pause for a moment. Mention that Rosary knew that you had fleas for seemingly no reason. Then bring up the fact that Judith also knew you had fleas without you having said anything to her about them, all the way back at the ranger station. Play it off as a fit of paranoia — "first the water pipes, now this" — but ask her how she knew.

Can we convince Branu to work with us on fixing the system, or should we usurp control of the watermoon and jury-rig the hardware from the ground up?

>"I formally accept your hospitality. By your leave, may I attend to my peoples' medical needs, set up their sleeping arrangements, and make use of the ceiling entertainment console?"
She lets her flames linger for another moment before she drops her shroud. Snarling with her eyes turned down, Paprika speaks in a low voice. "Go on, Princess."

>Reiko angrily taps the contract.
"Drop it, Reiko. She can read the fucking contract after she's settled in, if it's really that important to you."

>"Your majesty, I do believe that is enough punishment, thank you."
"It's a good start, at least. Fuck."

After relocating from the CIC, across the short landing in the the still-flooded hangar bay, to the living quarters, Zalkezia rapidly taps codes into the edible-hockey-puck dispenser, persuading it to instead produce, first, a pale orange sponge which exudes acrid-smelling bright purple goo when squeezed,
then a roll of what initially looks like black electrical tape on a thin ivory-synth spool, but which, as soon as it gets wet, swells up into a lacy green ribbon embedded in clear gel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0sjRG34DlA with the consistency of chewing gum.
That sponge is packed into Enkelados's wound, and wrapped tightly in place with several layers of seaweed-tape all the way around his shin.
Remaining tape is wrapped onto the princess's own burnt forefinger and palm, then distributed across everybody else's less critical injuries. Last third or so of the spool is stashed in Tacito's medkit, seemingly filling a slot where some already-exhausted stock of bandages were previously stored.

First aid successfully applied. Notably, the thumb on Zalkezia's burnt hand was completely unscathed.
>break out her own first aide kit
Devyn has been provided with a 'pocket sauna' - simple breath mask with the intake tube threaded through a small self-heating water bottle, originally intended as a portable source of warm moist air for mountain climbers. Seems to be helping with his cough. Hopefully he'll adapt.

Reiko does a triple check on the systems and ensures Princess Zalkezia can't override her authority.

Then she puts on that frilly maid outfit she was planning to show off to Azure.

And puts on a comically-serious attempt at negotiations to get Zalkezia to start rambling over the cutie.
If she's lucky, Reiko might chance upon some important personal information that someone like Zalkezia (such as one of her past iterations) would totally use as a simplistic password for something important, like her bank account.

>Notably, the thumb on Zalkezia's burnt hand was completely unscathed.
Possibly she has some kind of implant- the thumb might be a logical place for identification-tech. That, or Paprika's treatment is transferable. Probably best to keep quiet about it for now.

>Doesn't take much reading between the lines to realize she also doesn't trust you much, and is trying to avoid needlessly spilling exploitable secrets to folks who might be evil, or just crazy.
A regrettably understandable reaction when your first interaction with someone is snapping and yelling trauma in their face.

>she also sneakily starts up a completely separate conversation in Uxphonese hand-sign: passes Nat the note in Cricket's handwriting, >>1130726 gesturally asking "should I?"
Is this the manner of politics Cricket is used to? She makes it sound so dire.

Natalina can't imagine that Cricket intends to harm Malia, and a common background seems a solid basis for establishing a new diplomatic channel after the arkus herself made a mess of directly approaching the princess. (Even the idea of attempted 'cide of one's own family feels foreign to Natalina, but well, she knows very well that not everyone's situation is the same). She signs her assent.

Apparently assisting in first aid improved on her poor first impression for Malia to have asked her in the first place. Although the arkus isn't sure how the exile knew they shared that language- an assumption based on her communication with the

Clearly, the memory wiping was intentional on the part of the other slime (evil slime) so it could do something the animals wouldn't agree with while we (good slime) have the alibi of first-contacting with the humans. Thus, to figure out what the evil slime is trying to do, we must think of something that would be repugnant to the animals, such as... blowing up the research base! Yes, that's what evil slime is trying to do! C: Ask Guy what the most explosive area on the base is, and set up a trap there!

>>1130938
This is a stationary artic base. Why would it have engines? Plus, a bright and cold passage way up is probably outside.

>>1130936
Let's try to think why we would split up. The only reasonable explanation would be that we needed one half to distract everybody, (comms slime) while the other half (vent slime) does some sort of subterfuge. Thus, vent slime should go deeper into the base by choosing option F.

A) As a viscous, fluid-like slime, you are likely affected by the basic laws of physics and thermodynamics. High temperature will likely make you more like a liquid (flowing uncontrollably, but also much faster), but could also kill your offshoot if it pasteurizes or sterilizes you. Low temperature will likely make yoy more like a solid (sluggish, or possibly freeze). Humans can wear full hazmat suits since you prpbably can't cut or stab things.

B) Could be achieved if you get heated up and effectively forced into a puddle-like form, or tricked to pass through a sieve or mesh-like opening to split into a ton of small fragments. Could also have it enter a pipework that loops a lot.

C) Keep broadcasting so the offshoot hears the message from you and is given proper directions, or tell the humans to try diplomacy with it / that 'slime prime' asked to wait.

E) Seems like it could be a refridgerated. sciency area. Probably more people there too.

F) Could be some empty engimeerimg area, boiler room or such.

As such my votes are A) Fire extinguishers, liquid nitrogen and hazmat suits, C) Keep the message on repeat but make it clear its from slime prime, or to backtrack to comms.

For offshoot, go to E). Probably more interestimg stuff there.

>>1130939
An artic base needs heating - lots of it. It's probably a boiler room, power generator or some other kind of basement machine that produces heat. And possibly has drones working there.

Cool and bright is either outside, or a well-lit area that needs cooling (freezer closet, science lab).

>>1130938
Ideally the container is big enough, can't be opened from inside with force (i.e. no corks, bottlecaps or screw-lids) and is airtight. A gas tank or mason jar, for example.

As for getting the slime into such a container, maybe a water-washing vacuum cleaner? It should suck up the slime and safely deposit it into a liquid container (and the centrifuge effect inside will confuse it).

A) Janitor with a hazmat suit and a wet (uses a water container instead of a paper bag) vacuumm cleaner.

C) A wizard did it.

Sam spots McGregor drifting over and instinctively starts to hide the box.

McGREGOR J: "Be not afraid. This one arrives only to inspect the Raven.”

BEAK?: “Hello, Leslie.”

The Jurist scowls. They look as though they’re waking facial muscles that haven’t pulled this expression in years.

McGREGOR J: "Beware. The University is still looking for you and your old friend.”

BEAK?: “Is that meant to be a threat, wee judge? They’ve already found me. Or, more accurately, I found them. And Leslie? Don’t worry about Shelley. I know what I’m doing with him.”

McGregor looks at Sam as though she’s some kind of science experiment before quickly adjusting their gaze to be more appropriate for a human being.

BEAK?: “Close me up, Samantha. I have nothing more to say to you in the presence of this Obstruction of Justice.”

Sam obeys.

SAM: “Want to tell me what that was about?”

McGREGOR J: "It is Clerk’s Raven. A contemptuous but allegedly necessary part of the University of ‘Pataphysics’ plans.”

>So one tube is marked with will and the other with will of the crown. Is that not trouble, them being so close together?

SAM: “Anyway, so, Leslie-”

McGREGOR J: "The daughter shall address this one as Justice McGregor or Your Honour. Or Les, if she must.”

Sam is unused to this kind of formal address, but is eager to remain in the Jurist’s good books after that incident.

SAM: “Right. Your Honour. Those tubes, one marked with the Chaos Star, meaning Will, and another with the Broad Arrow, symbolising the Will of the Crown, is it a problem that they’re being kept so close together?”

McGREGOR J: "Lay Will and Executive Will may often partially or fully coincide. Unless at least one of the two are immensely powerful, and unless they are diametrically opposed in purpose, there shall be no issues. Although, in the case of a malformed Executive power, some fragmentation of Will, or some distortion of the barriers between the two Wills might occur… That is not the case here.”

>the thing in the blue tube matches the diagram found next to Hella's letter

Sam peers extra closely at the thing in the blue tube.

UBERTO: ”Ah, welcome back.”


>Ask what alternative plans they can think of for uncursing Mary.

SAM: “You seemed unsatisfied with my plan. Did you have another idea for how we could free Mary?”

SIMONE: “...no. It just seems pretty sudden, you know? We don’t even know what Hella’s capable of.”

UBERTO: ”Right to business, then. Hmm. Well, it’s risky, but I don’t really see any other way around this. Surely with the lot of us, and expecting her, we can win.”

He’s being intentionally optimistic.

>Scry a bit, see if you can find any readings similar to the Feather.

An inscrutable sound bursts into Sam’s skull and there is suddenly a new map behind her eyes.

No readings come from the left clearing. Two from the right clearing, both dark aligned.

The blue and red arrows from earlier point in the direction the group came from.

>>1130892
The blue and red readings are probably Miller and Mary.
>contained figures both dark aligned
Huh, I think you can spot doppelgangers this way. That is incredibly useful. Well, unless the dark alignment is due to the containment devices. Speaking of those... I wonder what the attached tanks are doing. Are they draining Will? Or are they fueling the containment?
Hmm. Freeing the robotic doppelganger is slightly tempting. She can't possibly pretend to be anyone else, so if she helps us with the fight against Hella, we could agree to shelter her somewhere without worry of her managing an impersonation. On the other hand, we do not know where her allegiances lie, not without a deep understanding of how the minds of doppelgangers work.

Looks like the reading to the "north" is related to the Feather, so we could go that way later.

>Hella's letter, pictured figure in containment, pore?
Ok, I think I know what the problem is. The letter that was in the envelope, regarding the pore, was not present. It's probably in Hella's desk, which obviously we weren't able to search.
The other scraps of paper were nearby by coincidence and are not necessarily related to the pore or letter. At least we now know that Miller's photo was taken of him wearing the mask and coat... and holding a staff or spear? Or maybe that's someone else in the same getup.

>seems sudden, we don't know what Hella is capable of
True. How would we investigate our opponent though? Maybe we can ask the captive doppelgangers? Or do Miller and Mary know anything about Hella?

That symbol to the north, is it related to the feather? it looks similar to the large symbol we interacted with, but that was seven pointed while this one is five. but we have seen this exact one before, on one of the wall carvings in that same room. I don't think we determined what it meant.
and are we sensing, a house?
