[The New Velociraptor Empire]

NVE paused before he hit Reginald with the cartoonishly large wooden mallet. To shout back, "I don't remember having a bus, must have come later. But it wouldn't be magic, it's science! And yes I can build one from scratch in ten minutes. Just need to finish something person I don't know for a person that I can't remember." he replied. NVE returned to his spot and lifted the mallet once more as he leapt at Reginald aiming for his head.

[Fvaarniimar]

Rmwtyliin frowned. Fyr. Fire. Electricity. Something. Actualite. Power. Like-gelic? Like? Lihting? Light? A? On? Bliczen. To flash. Fire power like light on flash. Fire power like light flash on...
She cowered in awe, then lay flat on the floor, avoiding the lit area. Fervently, fluidly, and incomprehensibly, she entreated the spirits to give her guidance.

Torii chuckled and approached the light switch, flicking it on and off several times. "It's not magic. It's just a light switch. You turn it one way, lights on, and the other way is lights off."

She gave the girl a curious look. "You're not...from around here, are you? I mean this time...I mean, time is distorted..."

You-er- refers to me, suffix meaning uncertain. Not - uncertain. From - Fram, so from? Around- on something. Here-hreer-here. Are-uncertain. You. Ah-ee- uncertain... But maybe refers to speaker. Mean - mænan? That makes it 'mean'. This-þis, so that thing. Time-tima... Part of... time-' I something from on something here something I. Torii means that thing part of time.' Okaaaaay... Now, 'Torii means that part of time IS - something.'

Rmwtyliin, analyzing, had missed Torii and Bran's discussion. She frowned, looking up. Also, Torii seems to find something about this interesting. Seeing that said had reentered the room, she quickly followed. "Me - Ah-ee?" She indicated herself again. "Ne [she scribbled in the air and wiped it] knnnnow [she touched her head] you mænnan- mmeann?" She touched her lips, then her head. "Taheemmma - taheeme? Heeer?" She exaggerated her frown.

Throughout this, she kept glancing warily at the light bulb now in the dining room.

[Tsuyoi Tekikoku]

As Tsu came to it, she was instantly alarmed at this sight,where she was! It was the apartment that she longed to return to dining room! She last remembered that she was on flight 256 . But this was clearly Bielefeld. Two of her wings shoot out in their pure white skeletal form from the blonde's back and planted themselves in the ground to help her up. Once on her feet Tsu called for a third wing which emerges from her back,this one, it looked like a long black snake that was fused with the girl. It made heavy breathing noises then went off to scan the area, as it pasted under a table the wing knocked a vase off the table and shattered upon it,Tsu welped.


Despite having a wing scearch the area,she was completely oblivious to the two others around her. She started to pick up the pieces of shattered vase but as she bent over,she fell on her face making a loud thud and laid their, like a dead body not moving a inch with her head planted into the ground. Man,this was going to be a long day for her. Tsu could just feel it in her gut and it would only get worst.

[The Fourth Reborn Ophanim Empire]

"Aaaaaaah-naaee..." Venyx breathed, the drawn-out word of confusion hissing from his lips like air out of a popped tire. "Either I've had altogether too much to drink," He started, his eyes foggy. "or this is some kind of dream." He was speaking English, right? It was early - or maybe late - and Venyx was all kinds of groggy. Just his luck, the last thing he remembered was a flash of light. Boy, that really didn't tell him squat. "Eh...nightmare, rather. This can't end well." He corrected looking about at the feet and legs of those standing around him. He didn't know who he was talking to at that point - he was more or less just speaking to hear his own voice. Maybe the people to his right could shed some light on things, though, from the looks of it, it seemed unlikely.

There was a brief second when Venyx wondered if the light he'd seen had been some kind of muzzle flash and that he'd died at gunpoint - and on vacation, no less. Go see Bielefeld, they said. It'll be fun, they said. Screw it all. Conversations spinning around him, however, made him think that there was no bloody way he could be in either Heaven or Hell. Zalgofest? NVE? Magic Bus? Dear Opha, he was a long way from home.

Moving too quickly in search of answers, the Ophanite rose to his knees and knocked his head on the underside of the table. Already a half-a-step away from passing out all over again, the whack on Venyx's forehead seemed to have the opposite effect, re-calibrating him cognitively just enough to stop the room from spinning like a runaway top. Cursing under his breath, he stood, and everything became clear. "Hey, mind telling me what this is all about?" He interrupted, addressing the whole of the room's occupants awkwardly, realizing very quickly that somewhere along the line, he'd lost his cape, and with it, all of his modesty. He was as naked as the day he was born, and though used to the nudist policies of his own government, he couldn't help but feel a tad bit out of place.

Echoes and refractions, memory and nightmares, choice and consequence. All spun wildly at Mezran as he stepped into the corridor with his bat'leth held tightly, poised to strike at the first sign of the Jem'Hadar or Cardassian, or Breen menace. Too long they had plagued their space, too long did they run freely in their territories savaging their outer colonies with impunity. Their ship, his ship, was currently a drift... but that couldn't be, he was on the surface leading another group. No, wait. Closer now, his target was only feet away and Mezran quickly thought of his options. An overpowering tackle would keep his prey off balance, followed by powerful swings that would take his opponent by surprise, furthering the confusion. Those neckbones would look lovely as a trophy on his wall.

He frowned then; this hallway wasn't like a typical Klingon vessel. Where were the oxidation marks? The humidity? The darkened areas and red lights? Did he not have a bat'leth just now? It had since been replaced with a mek'leth, his favored weapon. The air was thinner, dryer, a cool chill that lingered through his armor and seeped into his bones. His throat felt raw, had he been yelling? Why were people in the room? Where in Fek'lhr was his prey?

"What is the meaning of this?" He demanded outright, lodging his weapon on the table. "Where is the petaQ that was running for its miserable life?"

by line:

Commander behind you!

Follow me into battle my brothers!

Hard to port, evasive mark one seven eight point three, open fire!

Today is a good day to die!

[The Knights of Bolza Rovia]

Torii chuckled and approached the light switch, flicking it on and off several times. "It's not magic. It's just a light switch. You turn it one way, lights on, and the other way is lights off."

She gave the girl a curious look. "You're not...from around here, are you? I mean this time...I mean, time is distorted..."

You-er- refers to me, suffix meaning uncertain. Not - uncertain. From - Fram, so from? Around- on something. Here-hreer-here. Are-uncertain. You. Ah-ee- uncertain... But maybe refers to speaker. Mean - mænan? That makes it 'mean'. This-þis, so that thing. Time-tima... Part of... time-' I something from on something here something I. Torii means that thing part of time.' Okaaaaay... Now, 'Torii means that part of time IS - something.'

Rmwtyliin, analyzing, had missed Torii and Bran's discussion. She frowned, looking up. Also, Torii seems to find something about this interesting. Seeing that said had reentered the room, she quickly followed. "Me - Ah-ee?" She indicated herself again. "Ne [she scribbled in the air and wiped it] knnnnow [she touched her head] you mænnan- mmeann?" She touched her lips, then her head. "Taheemmma - taheeme? Heeer?" She exaggerated her frown.

Throughout this, she kept glancing warily at the light bulb now in the dining room.

Torii sighed, but brought back her happy smile and nodded back down at the girl. "You don't understand what I mean?"

She tried speaking more clearly for the girl. "Time. Time...is...
Like a line...and we just went from front, to middle. We have to go back to front."

Well, time was more complicated than that, but Torii figured it'd work.

[Rygondria]

NVE paused before he hit Reginald with the cartoonishly large wooden mallet. To shout back, "I don't remember having a bus, must have come later. But it wouldn't be magic, it's science! And yes I can build one from scratch in ten minutes. Just need to finish something person I don't know for a person that I can't remember." he replied. NVE returned to his spot and lifted the mallet once more as he leapt at Reginald aiming for his head.

Reginald seeeing the danger rolled out of the way and shouted," What in the Name of Queen Victoria is that bloody thing. Wait is..is that a giant hammer! What is this a news paper comic"! Reginald pulled out a colt and said<", come any closer and i will shoot you. Then the song started to play in his head again except more higher pitched Reginald screamed while still pointing the gun," get out of my head damn it"!

[Fvaarniimar]

You-er- refers to me, suffix meaning uncertain. Not - uncertain. From - Fram, so from? Around- on something. Here-hreer-here. Are-uncertain. You. Ah-ee- uncertain... But maybe refers to speaker.

Like a line...and we just went from front, to middle. We have to go back to front."

Well, time was more complicated than that, but Torii figured it'd work.

Time. I'll continue to assume that to be tima. Part of ime is... Uncertain, maybe like/similar to?..on cord/series/row of something/direction... And - and we something turned/directed/went from (will continue to assume that to be fram, so from something in the direction of- wait, that fits with line - middle. We (own/possess/are subject to/experience, if habbvan?) in the direction of something back ( I think)... In the direction of that something. She repeated it out loud, in Fvaarniimarn, using the foreign words when meaning was uncertain. "Part of time - Part of time is similar to on cord/direction. And we - joost - turned from frahnt in the direction of middle. We...experience in the direction of goh back in the direction of frahnt. Our direction... In time has changed? We aren't moving forward, or are doing so differently?" Rmwtyliin's culture had some precedent for such a concept: the spirits were sometimes said to be able to send information taken from the future. Maybe they could send someone back. And given the sophistication of her surroundings...Of course. She froze. I must be in Borkmiclen. Of course I haven't seen my family. They would have separated us. But they acted so nice... She blinked away a tear. She would not react. She would not let down the Fvaa. Wait. We. They don't look Fvaa or Fvaarniimarn, but they've been sent back too. Or maybe they're trying to trick me? They treat the spirit there as if it were a candle, after all...

She'd given some things away already. It probably would be okay for her to ask about the meaning of some words, even if they were Bomic.
"Joost mænnan-meeeaaan? Frahnt meeeaannn? Goh meeaan?" Each time she said "mean," Rmwtyliin touched her lips, then her head.

[The Fourth Reborn Ophanim Empire]

"Am I invisible?" Venyx paced a short distance across the dining room, hoping to be noticed. He had it in is head now that maybe he wasn't dead, but somewhere in-between. "I'm talking to air..." He lamented, running a hand over his hair atop his head in exasperation, fetching someone's fallen tablecloth to drape over his bare shoulders. He supposed maybe it didn't matter at all whether or not he was covered if nobody could see him, but at least he didn't feel like he was in such stark contrast to the others anymore. "Gods forgive me, I am adorned..."

Trying a new approach, Venyx singled-out the winged girl laying face down on the hardwood floor. Granted, it didn't appear that she would be of much help, but she had been close to him under the table and was the only other being not in conversation at the time. "Excuse me," He tried, returning to the side of the table and kneeling down beside the girl. "I think I'm lost. Is this Bielefeld? Or, er, is this even reality?" He didn't want to touch the winged one, afraid he might only make matters worse for himself. "Are you even alright?"

[Tsuyoi Tekikoku]

Tsu heard a voice talking to her,it sounded like a boy. She squirmed a bit and tried to sit up, it looked like she was doing the worm. With a few flaps from her wings she was able to lift off the ground just enough to land gently on her knees with a smile even though her face that had icy cold blood running down it. "Why,yes this is Bielefeld!" She said without turning her head but know who she was talking to. "Sadly,sometimes,I think this world goes far beyond dreams,reality and anything type of fiction..". Two of the wings in their snake form started to sniff the boy next to their host.


"Oh! My wings seem interested in you, They have a mind of their own but are usually nice,just like little puppies!," Tsu petted the third one that came back to her and started to clean the blood off her face. The ones sniffing the boy stopped and dissappeared back into Tsu along with the one she was petting.

[The Fourth Reborn Ophanim Empire]

Puppies? Venyx thought, watching the girl's wings come towards him and then slink away back inside their host with the grace of a Terris Fly. Any other day and he might have been surprised, but honestly, the wings - the snakes? - were not the biggest issue he had to face at that moment.

"So," The Ophanite started, shaking his head as if trying to clear his mind of settling dust. "If this is Bielefeld, then who are all of you?" He paused, realizing how that must have sounded. He had been expecting humans, mostly because, well, he thought that Bielefeld was on Earth, and the winged girl, the walking, talking velociraptor, and words like Zalgofest (hadn't earth converted to English Basic over twelve thousand years ago?) were throwing him for quite the loop. "I mean no offense, but you aren't exactly human..." He had so many questions, and the first thing that came tumbling out of his stupid mouth was to complain about the lack of human beings. He was kicking himself for that one.

Then, something the girl said clicked in Venyx's mind. "Wait, sorry, did you say beyond reality? So...we're not on Earth anymore?"

[Giovenith]

"Like 'The Magic School Bus'?!" Giovenith suddenly got excited, despite NVE's insistence on science over magic, remembering the fun, educational children's cartoon. She clapped her hands together, rocked her head side-to-side and said in a sing-songy voice: "Take chances, make mistakes, get messy! That's how you learn! Huh. Well, I don't much about the more complex stuff of time, I'm not that far in mom's studies yet..." She rubbed the back of her head, glancing backward. "But if Miss Frizzle is right, there's no reason we can't try!"

She considered the girl who sounded like she was speaking an entirely different language. Torii seemed to be doing a very good job at translating her to the best of her abilities, but had also raised up concerns. The Most High was dead in the future? Oh my, but how? Something awful and scary must have happened... but if that was so, then she had to remain here. One thing Giovenith did know about time, they couldn't go around bringing people in different lines all willy-nilly.

[The New Velociraptor Empire]

NVE paused before he hit Reginald with the cartoonishly large wooden mallet. To shout back, "I don't remember having a bus, must have come later. But it wouldn't be magic, it's science! And yes I can build one from scratch in ten minutes. Just need to finish something person I don't know for a person that I can't remember." he replied. NVE returned to his spot and lifted the mallet once more as he leapt at Reginald aiming for his head.

Reginald seeeing the danger rolled out of the way and shouted," What in the Name of Queen Victoria is that bloody thing. Wait is..is that a giant hammer! What is this a news paper comic"! Reginald pulled out a colt and said<", come any closer and i will shoot you. Then the song started to play in his head again except more higher pitched Reginald screamed while still pointing the gun," get out of my head damn it"!

"First you say to stop it, then you say that you don't want me to knock you out, then you want the things in your head to stop again. Make up your pudding brain mind!" NVE retorted as he paused again. "Don't bother shooting me, it is merely annoying. I can take you out before you can empty the clip, all of which would have to be headshots to kill me. And even then a clone will just take my place and travel back to the moment you dispatched me in order to finish the job as you reload." NVE explained casually as he leaned in further towards Reginald with a sly smile. "I don't have all day, so do you want it to stop or not?"

"NVE, leave that man alone. This universe can pop at any moment and you need to build a mass hyper-transit vehicle before it does." The meek voice belonging to Fortu said over the PA system directed at the dinosaur in the suit.

"Like 'The Magic School Bus'?!" Giovenith suddenly got excited, despite NVE's insistence on science over magic, remembering the fun, educational children's cartoon. She clapped her hands together, rocked her head side-to-side and said in a sing-songy voice: "Take chances, make mistakes, get messy! That's how you learn! Huh.

Something awful and scary must have happened... but if that was so, then she had to remain here. One thing Giovenith did know about time, they couldn't go around bringing people in different lines all willy-nilly.

NVE overheard Gio's suggestion from his position. "Okay, just gotta steal a school bus first then add the airplane parts for speed and then install my patented crystal chrono-technology. Sounds like a plan, just need assistants to speed up the work. Clones or friends?" the dinosaur thought out loud to nobody in particular as he leaned on the cartoonishly large wooden mallet in his claws.

[Rygondria]

Reginald seeeing the danger rolled out of the way and shouted," What in the Name of Queen Victoria is that bloody thing. Wait is..is that a giant hammer! What is this a news paper comic"!

Clones or friends?" the dinosaur thought out loud to nobody in particular as he leaned on the cartoonishly large wooden mallet in his claws.

Reginald said," How is knocking me out going to get it out of my head. Wait a minute old chap..Have i met you before because you look familiar". He then placed his colt in his holster then he said," finally it is gone".

[The New Velociraptor Empire]

NVE frowned at the missed opportunity. "We probably did but I definitely forgot, what's your excuse? Nevermind, I need to steal a school bus." he spoke quickly and energetically as he tossed aside the wooden mallet.

"Allons-y!" NVE exclaimed as he threw himself out the nearest window. It was the fastest way to exit the building, and he had no time for doors.

[Torsiedelle]

"Wait, steal a bus?"

Torii started to consider the option. If it came down to it, they wouldn't have much of a choice, and it would provide transport for everyone...

Not to mention, they were fixing time. It wasn't like they'd be in trouble; they were back in Vaffleheim, and that city was wiped out!

Torii raised a hand. "I'll hijack a bus! I mean, it's not like we'll be in trouble. We're going through time, and...oh! OOOOH! TF guns! We can disguise ourselves!", She suggested. "Oh, wait...I don't have it yet. It hasn't been invented...but I do think I know the works, and so does Bran!"

The she got another idea, and scratched her head. "Actually, if we had a TF gun and a scanner, we could just make the bus...no hijacking..."

[Primordial Luxa]

Aegis had grown very irritated in the short time that everyone had been talking rather than acting. He found it to be a very disconcerting problem that the group typically devolved into during times of stress and action. However he had been patient and decided to wait until they eventually got tired of their incessant talking but instead they seemed to merely ignore him. He was fine with that it gave him time to judge Tsu's new arrival and the semi-naked thing that had come with her. Tsu was a familiar presence and he guessed that she had been plucked from another timeline but the other one was puzzling. Fortunately for it Aegis didn't have time to worry about new variables.

Aegis had already slit his wrists and was beginning to draw various symbols in the uppermost corner of the room causing a dull beat to resonate throughout the room. The sound was like a drumming wing flapping though a writhing intestinal track and with it came a pungent smell of fungal rot. As Aegis continued to draw the other corners of the room seemed to twist inwards and outwards like gnarled roots. "As much as I enjoy a good bus" he said casting Bran a knowing looking "I would prefer to simply leave now and not have to deal with silly contraptions."

[The New Velociraptor Empire]

"Wait, steal a bus?"

Torii started to consider the option. If it came down to it, they wouldn't have much of a choice, and it would provide transport for everyone...

Not to mention, they were fixing time. It wasn't like they'd be in trouble; they were back in Vaffleheim, and that city was wiped out!

Then she got another idea, and scratched her head. "Actually, if we had a TF gun and a scanner, we could just make the bus...no hijacking..."

"You and Bran can get the airplane scrap from my apartment and the broken time machine that keeps spitting the parts out. We have no time for subtle subterfuge, ACTION SCIENCE!" NVE replied before he ran towards the nearest school.

[The BranRiech]

"I do know how airplanes work." Bran nodded from his leaning position in the doorway, looking around to both Torii and NVE in turn. "And that's not exactly untrue, Torii. I invented the Tf gun to revert myself back after something ended up genderbending me into a girl, gave me damn fennec ears as well, and a fuzzy tail." He nodded, remembering what he looked like back then when that happened, and how the early version of the TF gun really ended up looking like something a kid would make as a toy.

"I've got it somewhere in the bomb shelter, want me to go and find it?"

[Torsiedelle]

"I do know how airplanes work." Bran nodded from his leaning position in the doorway, looking around to both Torii and NVE in turn. "And that's not exactly untrue, Torii.

He nodded, remembering what he looked like back then when that happened, and how the early version of the TF gun really ended up looking like something a kid would make as a toy.

"I've got it somewhere in the bomb shelter, want me to go and find it?"

Torii raised an eyebrow. What a pleasant surprise, she thought, as an excited grin overcame her. "Really? You have an early version of the device? Excellent!", She hopped up and down. "I want to see it! Of course, even with my extensive knowledge regarding modification of the beam, I doubt we could use it to its full potential. We can possibly use it to quickly and reliably mold pieces into the bus, and as a quick repair device, but we can't possibly create the entire bus or time machine with one shot, am I correct?", She leaned in curiously.

"And if we can, that'd be just swell. Are the inner working similar to the final product? If I can get some copper wiring, USB, and a turn dial, I can do wonders, you know!"

[Kassaran]

Hey, wake up you lazy bum, you've been asleep for nearly a full REM cycle.

The voice was soft, and menacing, and all he needed to realize something was off. Really off. He'd been- what had he been, or moreover, where was he? Thoughts rushed into his mind like water into a sink, and they were draining out just as fast as water from a sink as well. So much was the volume of thoughts rushing into his mind that he simply decided to try and curl into a ball and wait them out. That only made matters worse, I said wake up.

His eyes whipped open and immediately he was facing the pain of the sudden input of light into his eyes and the stabbing pain sent him into as erect a position as he could manage, which also brought him into contact with the low overhead that was the underside of the table. A half a second and a resounding clu-thunk later, Kage could feel the cold of the area of floor he was already in contact with pressing against his cheek as he dropped back into a spread-eagle position, both of his hands pressing down on the knot now forming on his head.

'Mother-fu-' the thought was cut short by the sudden stab of pain that lashed through the front of his mind as the mental block kicked in and he growled in response. Right, he couldn't swear like that. Not that it was improper, but rather he simply couldn't. His own contract kept him from doing so due to the potency of such curses and swears. A laugh resounded through the back parts of his mind as something deep within found amusement in his sudden rude awakening.

'Good to see your'e up now, please open your eyes again so I can at least see what you're doing. You know how much I hate just having to be the observer.'

'You're a backseat driver and you know it so shut up.' his own mind straining against the pain that was now gradually fading to a dull throb gave away the amount of malice he felt for this being inside of him. However, the spirit was right and he slowly opened his eyes. The light streaming into them was now more tolerable and getting on his hands and knees, he began to remember some of what happened. He'd been walking up to the apartment building, and looking on, he thought he could see movement within its windows, and it sounded like a party was unfolding inside, and then the next thing he knew, the door opened and a bright flash of light had him waking up here.

Crawling out from underneath the table, he found himself bumping into something, or rather someone, and he looked up to find himself awkwardly staring at the backside of someone locked in conversation with a strange-looking giant of a girl. His ears caught wind of something that man had said however and he spoke up as well," Weeer, not onshurth'more? Unng."

Speaking hurt at that moment, and he slowly allowed himself to collapse back to the ground, and with his face smushed against the floor, he allowed a long moan to escape his lips as he tried to regather what little sensibilities he had left. All the while this had been unfolding, he had slowly noted that the room appeared to be riddled with bulletholes, and then he stopped his gaze in its tracks as he suddenly became keenly aware of what appeared to be a dinosaur in a powersuit standing in the room. A giggle later and he could have sworn he was also seeing the dinosaur speaking too.

[Tsuyoi Tekikoku]

Puppies? Venyx thought, watching the girl's wings come towards him and then slink away back inside their host with the grace of a Terris Fly. Any other day and he might have been surprised, but honestly, the wings - the snakes? - were not the biggest issue he had to face at that moment.

"So," The Ophanite started, shaking his head as if trying to clear his mind of settling dust. "If this is Bielefeld, then who are all of you?" He paused, realizing how that must have sounded. He had been expecting humans, mostly because, well, he thought that Bielefeld was on Earth, and the winged girl, the walking, talking velociraptor, and words like Zalgofest (hadn't earth converted to English Basic over twelve thousand years ago?) were throwing him for quite the loop. "I mean no offense, but you aren't exactly human..." He had so many ques could be intions, and the first thing that came tumbling out of his stupid mouth was to complain about the lack of human beings. He was kicking himself for that one.

Then, something the girl said clicked in Venyx's mind. "Wait, sorry, did you say beyond reality? So...we're not on Earth anymore?"

"Well, from my past experiences here..I'd say were on earth but not in the right universe!". Tsu turned to look at the boy. "As for who I am,...I am Tsu! A demon/angel half-breed that comes from Tsuyoi Tekikoku!". She proudly put her hands on her hips bit something came to her, she was supposed to be on flight 257, then was this possibly a dream and she was sleeping. But the pain she felt was to real to be considered a dream. Their was only two other explanations, the government is testing some sort of illusion making room on her..or..she could be dead and in purgatory. Maybe,she never awoke again from that murder attempt on her. Now,she was thinkin it did kill her and this is the afterlife.

Tsu started to shiver at the thought of being dead. No one at the apartment would find out,or even if they did,she bet that all of them would celebrate because of it. A single tear rolled down her eye and wiped it away. "Maybe..were dead..and this is where go when we die..". Tsu wouldn't put it past her that she was dead.

Torii raised an eyebrow. What a pleasant surprise, she thought, as an excited grin overcame her. "Really? You have an early version of the device? Excellent!", She hopped up and down. "I want to see it! Of course, even with my extensive knowledge regarding modification of the beam, I doubt we could use it to its full potential. We can possibly use it to quickly and reliably mold pieces into the bus, and as a quick repair device, but we can't possibly create the entire bus or time machine with one shot, am I correct?", She leaned in curiously.

"And if we can, that'd be just swell. Are the inner working similar to the final product? If I can get some copper wiring, USB, and a turn dial, I can do wonders, you know!"

"The ones I made never had enough power to just make things appear out of thin air. Only stuff mine could do were change humanoids into other humanoids, say, if you used it on a dog. You could make it into another dog, but not into a human. Or you could use it on a human and make them a dog and back again, but not the opposite way around." Bran nodded, thinking of the circuitry flowing through the gun, in it's small metal casing that was really quite shoddy. "I think you can change the settings, might take a bit longer though."

"No, no, weer not deeead. Jushreeeely dishcombobulated." The words came out on on top of another as he spoke," beshize that, I canshe a dinerser, so I'm either really high... or shomthin."

Kage slowly made his way to his knees again as he attempted to muscle in on the conversation, however his current massive headache wasn't helping things either.

NVE suddenly returned... by crashing a school bus into the lobby. "Okay, got the base to start working from! I need helpers if we're gonna survive this." NVE said as he jumped out and made a dash for his room. Seconds later he carted out several crates of odd scrap parts and on top was little Fortu the severed head, resting on the piles of junk. A gramophone played a song as NVE dumped the scrap in the lobby next to the bus.
