Tobias slides his figure onto the king's shadow, careful not to be detected.

[Sanure]

((Mkay, Will start combat here in a few hours or at 8 sharp. Need to get some things done first IRL, then I shall be able to devote time to combat :3))

[Kansa]

Titus took in a deep breath and opened the doors to the throne chamber, two thrones were at the very end of the room one made out of sapphire and one of gold. On the sapphire throne sat a man, he was old but quite obviously muscular and was wearing a styled black suit. He brushed away the grey hair from his sapphire eyes as he regarded the group, as the group drew closer the resemblance to Titus became apparent. Tobias using the shadows around the room managed to slip in to the king's shadow, it didn't seem like anyone had noticed.

The king rose to his feet and Titus began to speak,
”Father this is...” he froze as his father raised his hand an obvious sign of him to be quiet.
”Welcome to our land, I trust you have been treated well.”

[Projeck37]

"Your hospitality is most kind."
Linda bows in respect.

[smurfingtonthethird]

"Why is he wearing a suit? Isn't that a terran thing?"

[PrivateNomad]

"What else do you expect me to do?"

"I just appreciate your devotion. It means a lot to me."

[USEC_OFFICER]

Dalia obviously leans towards Kaiser and whispers, _{"I dunno. Maybe he's wearing it to make us feel comfortable? Or he's an idiot. He has to have other stuff to wear besides that."}

[Projeck37]

"I'm not one to easily give up on people easily."

[Akroma]

"Your greeting is too kind, your grace."

[Kansa]

”It is no trouble I assure you.” His gaze went to Titus for a moment but then back to the main group ”Is there anything else you wish to have, I will of course provide lodgings for you here tonight but anything else is also in my power.”

[PrivateNomad]

 "Thank you... Let us begin," Alucard says before he kneels down and joins the three Sigils; they resonate further and begin to glow their respective colors as a low buzzing sound emanates from it. Alucard then places his hands to the Sigils, not quite touching yet near enough to feel a tingle, and channels his magic through it as the air in front of his hands seems to ripple and warp.
Suddenly, an unintelligible whisper sounded through the air and Alucard grunted, immediately placing a hand on his head in pain as the ripples warp further until the Sigils begin to spark and shake. Ashley noted a foreign presence of magic for the minute Alucard screwed up.
Arcs of magic pulse from the sigils, which unite in instability as Alucard's eyes widen.
  "Fuck, it's a resonance cascade! Ashley, don't interfere, I must stave it off!"

Walpurga walks through the open door, as does Winry and the girl, and sees the sprawling lab before her. On the wall opposite of her is a large machine that looks like a furnace that has been re-engineered into a holding tank. Inside the tank is a dimly glowing substance that radiates misery and agony. As walpurga walks forward, she sees an old, dried blood trail leading towards the machine and two skeletons nearby.

Hakim opens the door to the labs. The lab looks abandoned and a thin layer of water covers the floor. Non-functional weapons and ancient mech-armor prototypes line the walls. In the center of the room lies an open bright green glass tank. What water was contained inside is poring out of it and adding to the layer on the floor. Across the room, sitting on a large azure set of armor is a woman. The odd thing about her is the Fox ears and the nine fox tails behind her. She is lounging on the arms of the Armor, holding a tube like object in her hands as she twirls it about. She appears to not have noticed Hakim or the others yet.

[Akroma]

"Well well, what have we here..."

Walpurga looks for documents of any kind that could shed light unto what exactly is in that tank.

[Projeck37]

"As you wish."
Ashley crosses her arms.
Isaac pauses. What should they do?

[Sanure]

Walpurga looks around at the various equipment that liters the lab. She stops when she finds a notebook entitled Function and possible uses of the Giest Ark. Upon opening it, it appears to be a collection of blueprints, notes, and topics of interest written in the hand of Simon Giest. The Giest Ark, as the notes explain, is a generator that produces an infinite supply of energy by harnessing the mana absorbtion qualities of the human soul. By entrapping them in a form that is more reactive to Mana, the machine is capable of turning Mana into a functional means of powering any sort of system.

However, the machine has a certain... drawback. The input soul can only be used so much before being utterly, and permanenty erradicated, leaving behind a sort of glowing ectoplasm like substance. This substance seems to attract lightning towards the location that it is dumped, probably due to the materials properties regarding mana. Weaponization has been suggested by Corp. Surge, and I have to agree with him.

Near the back of the notes is an eerie scrawl, probably written by Simon:

Beginning to think that I am not alone in my home. It has started to be a constant storm outside and the hairs on my arm are constantly standing up, almost like my house has become full magnetized. I am beginning to think that maybe it was not a good idea to reveal my Giest Ark to Surge as this seems to have made him far too ambitious. Maybe it would have been a wiser idea to involve Winterwald instead. She would have been able to tell me what this eerie feeling was, or at least, prevented the turn of events that I have unleashed. This machine, my so named Gie-

Walpurga is forced to drop the notes as another psionic vision overcomes her:

Walpurga sees Simon grasping at the table that he has his notes sitting on. He is faint, having lost too much blood. He mutters to himself, something about that fools betrayal, and begins to scribble something down. A loud clang noise is heard as Simon drops his pen and moves away from the desk, which now has a hole in it. Surge stands in the door way with a large smile on his face. He mutters something about how Simon's betrayal to the fuhrer will be his utter end and how it shames him that he will be forced to execute him. Surge aims his pistol at Giest, who looks fearful, then laughs. He laughs hard enough that even Walpurga can hear the sinister tone in his voice, "I shall see us both dead, Surge! Behind me lies our doom. I will see to it!" Surge appears to scowl and fires upon Simon, hitting him in the chest. Simon stumbles backwards, his hand gripping for something, before grabbing the lever on the Giest Ark and pulling it. The mana in the room swirls out of control, becoming a visible wind as it is sucked into the machine. Simon laughs again as Both his, and Surge's souls are physically removed and forced into he machine. It lasts for a few seconds longer until the machine shuts off, never to run again. Walpurga once more sees the spirit, hanging around one of the skeletons. It point sat the switch and disappears, ending the vision.
