Central Rift Command (IC, CCD ONLY)

[Krvava Koupel]

*The man takes off his hat, looks at it, wipes it, then puts it back on. He adjusts his goggles, takes a sip of bourbon and clears his throat. He sets the glass down on the table beside him* "I am, as the Kaiser guessed it, The Small Scientist. Shocking, I know... I'm not small."

*Nikolai sets his glass next to The Small Scientist's glass* "I got the news of Depackya's Rift."

"Everyone did."

"It wasn't smart putting those men in there. Let us hope they make it out easily."

*The Small Scientist stares for a second* "I highly doubt it but I had to make sure it wasn't something worse than I presume..."

Wilhelm continued to stay in his little corner and try not to draw attention to himself. He didn't know the full extent of Kyavan's renown or reputation within the CCD and as such, was alone with his thoughts. He did overhear quite a bit from the Small Scientist, a man the K.K had know of but never know his true identity. As the driving force behind Kyavan's military science and reorganization from Siege Regiments into Legions, Wilhelm found the prospect of a conversation with the not-so-small Scientist very enticing...

[Kafair]

The door is opened, and an imposing man, with a large grey beard, wearing a robe an large turban, and hard eyes walks in. He stands, one hand on his blade, the other on his black iron cane. He than smiles. He speaks in English, with a thick accent. "I am glad to see my fellow leaders safe. I have brought gifts." He motions in a man, and sets down 3 large bottles of wine. "For those of you more refined, there is this. This is the best brew around my friends." He looks around. "Any idea where the viceroy is? I would like to discuss something with our leader."

[Kynor]

"Wine now you're speaking my language. Regarding the viceroy I haven't seen him, in fact I've never had a chance to formally meet him."

[Kafair]

"Shame. Was hoping to meet the man himself." He pours the man some of the wine. It is a very rich red. "Any information about the rifts? I have my fleets on standby. My super-dreadnoughts are on the way back, but seeing the news, it might not be enough. I am worried you know."

[2nd Imperial German Reich]

“We are all worried, Herr Sultan.”The Kaiser states. He again pulls out the black box from his pocket.”The Rifts
Could very well lead to the downfall of the nations their within and the ones bordering them.”

[Kafair]

"I have a mountain cutting through my ocean and into 3 of my islands.This is not right. Is that Small Scientist here? I would like to know what is going on regarding these, and if this damage will disappear if these rifts are beaten."

[2nd Imperial German Reich]

"I have a mountain cutting through my ocean and into 3 of my islands.This is not right. Is that Small Scientist here? I would like to know what is going on regarding these, and if this damage will disappear if these rifts are beaten."

“He is here. I hope he has gotten anything regarding the vial of substance from the rift, and what the hell has been beating at my Sarcophagus.”the Kaiser begins adjusting his holster on his belt.

[Krvava Koupel]

"I have a mountain cutting through my ocean and into 3 of my islands.This is not right. Is that Small Scientist here? I would like to know what is going on regarding these, and if this damage will disappear if these rifts are beaten."

*A man sitting in a velvet chair next to Nikolai motions to you*" Late to the party, sir. I cannot promise that those mountains well go away if these Rifts are... Contained. I do know that the Rifts like Depackya will have reversible effects."

[Krvava Koupel]

"I have a mountain cutting through my ocean and into 3 of my islands.This is not right. Is that Small Scientist here? I would like to know what is going on regarding these, and if this damage will disappear if these rifts are beaten."

“He is here. I hope he has gotten anything regarding the vial of substance from the rift, and what the hell has been beating at my Sarcophagus.”the Kaiser begins adjusting his holster on his belt.

*The Small Scientist laughs* "Your Sarcs have energy flowing through them... Or around them..." *He stops and thinks* "your turrets might be causing it. They want the energy... But even with the turrets gone there's no stopping them."

[Kafair]

The Sultan looks angry. "You are telling me that there is a chance those mountains will be there after? They are cutting right through my main trade and combat naval highways. Do you at least have any idea how to kill off the rift?"

[2nd Imperial German Reich]

The Kaiser is also visibly peeved.”Well, how do you except us to remove the turrets? Sending in a manned-team is essentially suicide for them, and using AI or drones won’t work as the Rift will apparently destroy them for their energy. But even so I don’t understand how the hell the rift could detect it’s energy. It as built 1 Kilometer away from the 10 kilometer no-man’s land.”The Kaiser angrily slams a map and blueprint of the Sarcophagus on the table.

[Alpes a Septentrionali Imperium]

The door is opened, and an imposing man, with a large grey beard, wearing a robe an large turban, and hard eyes walks in. He stands, one hand on his blade, the other on his black iron cane. He than smiles. He speaks in English, with a thick accent. "I am glad to see my fellow leaders safe. I have brought gifts." He motions in a man, and sets down 3 large bottles of wine. "For those of you more refined, there is this. This is the best brew around my friends." He looks around. "Any idea where the viceroy is? I would like to discuss something with our leader."

A bearded man in impeccable clothing suddenly runs into the room after hearing the word wine, this man is the Empereur-Roi of the Alpes a Septentrionali Imperium. " Bonjour à nouveau tout le monde, ah right you all speak English here. Well, good day to everyone, I hope I'm not disturbing anything but I just came after hearing the word wine, and may I please have a glass of some. Oh, just forgot to introduce myself to all of you. I am Matthieu XV de Froid-Courrone, Empereur-Roi de Alpes a Septntrionalis. Also quick question, why is everyone suddenly angered, what just happened? "

[Kynor]

"Ah a fellow Emperor. It's a pleasure to meet you, I am Emperor Daniel II of Kynor. However at this moment their might not be an empire for me to rule over if this rift isn't contained."

[Alpes a Septentrionali Imperium]

" Why, hello. It's a pleasure to meet you too. There are quite a few emperors here it looks like, but I hope that this could be the start of long relations between our empires. Also, thank you for semi-conforming my fears. I knew something was wrong when so many of my lords and agents were telling me to take the offer for the bunker. But I need to find out more about this Rift if it is truly that dangerous."

OOC: hey this was my 100th actual post

[MineLegotia and Equestria]

The Sultan looks angry. "You are telling me that there is a chance those mountains will be there after? They are cutting right through my main trade and combat naval highways. Do you at least have any idea how to kill off the rift?"

Prince Jason leaned back into his chair, "This rift thing will most likely all of us someway or another, we either have to adapt, or simply die from refusing to adapt," He then turns to check on Princess 'Shy, who is nowhere to be seen. Must be somewhere else in the bunker, he thought before turning to the Small Scientist, "Any idea on what happened in Depacknya and what might be causing it?"

[Krvava Koupel]

The Kaiser is also visibly peeved.”Well, how do you except us to remove the turrets? Sending in a manned-team is essentially suicide for them, and using AI or drones won’t work as the Rift will apparently destroy them for their energy. But even so I don’t understand how the hell the rift could detect it’s energy. It as built 1 Kilometer away from the 10 kilometer no-man’s land.”The Kaiser angrily slams a map and blueprint of the Sarcophagus on the table.

"it's not the Rift itself sensing the energy... It's the monsters."

[Krvava Koupel]

The Sultan looks angry. "You are telling me that there is a chance those mountains will be there after? They are cutting right through my main trade and combat naval highways. Do you at least have any idea how to kill off the rift?"

"you can't kill the Rifts... Only inactivate them. You somehow kill them and they have the potentiok of sprouting even more."

[Russia Major]

The Sultan looks angry. "You are telling me that there is a chance those mountains will be there after? They are cutting right through my main trade and combat naval highways. Do you at least have any idea how to kill off the rift?"

"you can't kill the Rifts... Only inactivate them. You somehow kill them and they have the potentiok of sprouting even more."

The Czar emerges into the lounge, dressed in his pyjamas and a heavily embroidered dressing gown, with a pair of large slippers on his feet, sitting in a large leather armchair, a straight pipe, already slightly smoking in his hand

"So we appear to have a Hydra situation on our hands. But Heracles killed the Hydra by burning the Hydra's necks where he cut them. So, can we cauterise the Rifts? As it were."

[Krvava Koupel]

"absolutely not! Did you not receive the information that energy feeds the Rifts?" *The Small Scientist studies the czar* "Nikolai, is this the man who suggested light as a weapon?"

*Nikolai gives a slight nod*

"well I'll be damned. A smart man he is."

[Kyavan]

Wilhelm who frankly; was bored out of his mind the day before and had slept in the chair he was currently sitting in snapped up when he heard the Czar speak. Shaking his head to clear his sleep-addled thoughts, "It might work, instead of using flame like Heracles perhaps we could use chemical warfare or atomic weapons!"

"I'll thank you for that, but I would hope you understand that I'm not being literal. I was merely wondering if there may be a way to cut off the rifts from whatever creates them, then we would be able to destroy them freely."

Hearing Wilhelm's words, the Czar turns to him

"Unfortunately Nuclear weapons would only feed the rift with the massive amount of energy they produce, and the Small Scientist has proposed that radiation from such technology could cause mutations among those abominations from the Rift, potentially worsening the crisis. But chemicals could work, depending on the chemicals of course."

"like I said, there's no closing the Rifts, only deactivating them"

"like I said, there's no closing the Rifts, only deactivating them"

"And what would deactivating them exactly entail? Total cessation of all function?"

[Krvava Koupel]

"And what would deactivating them exactly entail? Total cessation of all function?"

"As we speak, I have a team creating Bio-Suits so that we may be able to enter the other dimension without getting utterly vaporized. We created the technology to go into No Man's Land, we can try to make it so we can go into the dimension. Once there we'd need to figure out what to do."
