Alice
To Natilla, ~How are you dear one?~
The_Guild
~Natila-Vv is happy oddness. Why is dark so early?~
Alice
~We are on a different world so the time of the day is different.~ Alice quickly puts together a little demo about planets and sun sets and uses that to explain.
The_Guild
~Is strange and false. Why Alicenest is lying to Natila-Vv?~
Alice
~How do you mean false? Well as I said before, we are really in a projection of a real place, so everyone we see isn't actually real.~
The_Guild
~Is sort of yesno. Confusing for Natila-Vv, but not for Alicenest.~
Alice
~Well don't worry about it right now. It shouldn't hurt you. Want to play a game?~
The_Guild
~Natila-Vv like games!~
Alice
Alice starts playing a game with Natilla-Vv sorta like hide and seek but using her memories. Alice places an image of herself somewhere in her memories and Natilla-vv searches for it.
The_Guild
~Natila-Vv enjoys the game, though she learns to cheat early on, following your own awareness through your memories to the relevant memory.~
Alice
Okay, I continue to play for a bit longer and then ~Okay Natilla-Vv, we need to go on a mission now. We will play again later.~
The_Guild
~Natila-Vv hears.~
Alice
What do I know about wards?
Anything from my information collection so far?
The_Guild
It depends what wards there are. Of magic you know little. Of psionics, little as well, but at least you may have the ability to deal with them. As for technological, you're fairly adept... you frequently worked in heavily guarded buildings.
Alice
~Natilla-Vv, can you connect me to Do-N? I want to find information on magic in her mind. ~
The_Guild
~Yeah, Natila-Vv can do that.~
Alice
~Please do so.~
The_Guild
~A tendril of mind reaches out and connects you to Do-N, fading from your view as it is established.~
Alice
Can I feel the connection and if so I start searching with Natilla-Vv's help for the information she has about magic.
The_Guild
The connection is still there, just not visible to your mind's eye (it's not necessary to see it.)
Alice
And the searching?
The_Guild
You find bits and pieces of magical information, but nothing specifically pertaining to wards.
Alice sifts through for a bit for any extra info on magic and then severs the connection.
The_Guild
Done.
Warning, Manite Mine, do not enter without proper protection. Do not cross threshold without proper authorization.
Alice
Is there any way I can remove the wards from what i know?
The_Guild
No. But you might be able to alter them.
Alice
What is involved in alteration and what could I convert them to?
The_Guild
You'd need something sharp, and you think you could alter them to somehow grant authorization to a more general group.
Alice
Okay, I go about it. What could I generalize for?
The_Guild
Right now only miners and mages are allowed inside. You could make it so that any occupation beginning with m would be allowed in, or even just people... though that might degrade the barrier in unknown ways.
Alice
I go about modifying the wards.
The_Guild
The wards take you less time to modify than the firetrap did to set up. You're pretty sure you got it right.
You find a few places that might need a bit of extra oil, and apply the limited rations sparingly.
More just a matter of perfection than of competence.
Alice
Alice is sudden suddenly seized with nausea at the sight of smashed body. (she actually has a somewhat delicate stomach, she's been toughing it out.)
The_Guild
The smell of all of it in the hut (which didn't smell pretty to begin with) and the mingling scent of cheap oil causes you to toss your cookies. ~Natila-Vv wails!~
Alice
~Sorry.... dear.... I'll be alright don't worry.~ Alice makes soothing thoughts.
The_Guild
It's hard to make soothing thoughts while throwing up... but eventually Natila-Vv calms down.
Alice looks up guild teleportation rules and options.
The_Guild
Teleportation is allowed in most public areas and authorized private areas, but not secure areas. There are no external options except for specially authorized local TransLoc during times of emergency. Otherwise, you have to be able to do it on your own.
