((Hold on, where is everybody? I know that my characters, Erland, Kelly and Samson are in the Library, but I've gotten a bit turned around))

"It's nice to meet you, Jesus. That all sounds very interesting, though I am curious about this Emporer?"

Starlight then jumps in, still back in her usual mainframe, "This place is insane. Um, it's nice to meet you...but other then the cousin of this somepony, what is it that you do?"

Jesus chuckles at Kelly before stopping suddenly.
"No."
He turns to Twilight with a smile.
"I don't remember much, but he was a human looking thing like me and Samson. Wore gold armor too, had a flaming sword. Pretty cool guy really."
He awkwardly turns to Starlight.
"Uh, Same as Samson mostly. I livestream tournaments I participate in."

Kelley, in her search for relevant literature, finds a chemical guidebook on the creation and negation of toxic gases.

"I am not human, but the body I am attached to is, and I keep them alive according to my directive. He does not like it here because of some sort of smell.
What happened to the people, and what do the synchs do?"


"The Synchs serve The Master. The Synchs do the will of the Master and help run the Master's Federation. We clean the streets and keep the lights on. We process the metal and ship it to space and return with supplies for the Master. The Master does not like people but he is not lonely."

<Damn.  Glad that was only a sim.>

Seeing Anna and Cadence enter the Training room, he bows his head in recognition. 

Nixil then re-entered the training simulator, this time selecting a melee scenario, vs an Andalite warrior. 

Nixil now finds himself in a new location, one where he is standing in a field of grass next to a shimmering lake under a glorious purple sky sprinkled with stars and planets. It's the landscape that you'd find on a poster in a hippy cafe or a stoner's apartment. Opposite Nixil, another Andalite trots through the grass and stops about ten yards away from him. He respectfully bows before beginning to encircle Nixil, his tail-blade waving hypnotically as he utilizes the most fundamental tactic in Andalite melee combat.

"Yeah."

Anna does so.

At some point in the midst of the squabble/meet-up going on in the Training Facility, Anna finds a switch on the back of one of the pale, humanoid dummies. At first nothing happens, though it suddenly interrupts the ongoing conversation by springing to life. "WHO IS READY TO FIGHT?" It exclaims in a robotic voice without moving any of its facial muscles, throwing punch combinations and spinning kicks in the air like a drunk frat boy.

Vi continues reading. Skimming for passages of interest.

Many of the pages of the compendium contain terms and formulas that are meaningless without background and context in the field. One passage written in vernacular speech does catch her eye:

The point where a phenomena can be undoubtedly characterized as a Miasmatic Anomaly is the presence of Memetic Erasure. Once memetically erased, matter can not be restored by physical, chemical, atomic, magical or even divine means. This is where the title of Erasure originates, as "Damaged" or "Destroyed" implies a shifting of material (or immaterial) state, rather, the material ceases to be. It is theorized that Memetic Erasure occurs on the conceptual level, not only eliminating the matter but additionally any schema it has produced.

There have been numerous cases of sentient lifeforms utilizing and weaponizing Memetic Erasure for their own usage, though whether this is of their own free will or the product of an Anomaly is unknown. Because of its volatile and extremely potent nature, the usage of Weaponized Memetic Erasure is universally forbidden. All data on the subject has been recorded via observation and records....   


Erlend goes into the library and looks for books on the various weird ass vehicles he may encounter in the great unknown.

The section on vehicular subjects is massive, as it seems everything else is. Topics range from the simple and mundane, cars, planes, standard spaceships and whatnot, to battle vehicles, star destroyers and "living" vehicles.

Mega heads on down to the Conflict Zone.
Ramona follows Mega, despite her lack of money.

Mega and Ramona (as well as anyone else who attached themselves to this grouping) teleport down to Conflict Zone 87. They appear in a Teleportation Station not in the middle of a forsaken battlefield, but a rather nice facility with tiled floors and fancy lighting fixtures, it appears to be busy as well. There's a number of restaurants, restrooms, and pamphlet distribution structures in the area, making it feel like a rest stop. Immediately upon exiting the building, it becomes clear that the Teleportation Station has been built atop a tall plateau, while far below firey explosions burst like a lightshow while crowds of running people appear like scurrying ants. A woman in a blouse speaks to a group of tackily dressed folk while gesturing below who gawk at the sight and take pictures. "Conflict Zone 87 is in a perpetual state. You might ask why they don't eventually run out of people or supplies, and to answer that, the Higher Council regularly steps in to enforce ceasefires that allow the people of 87 to repopulate and reorganize. These are the periods of lowered tourism of course." The crowd laughs flatly.

Ulibossk hands the native $200, before heading into the cavern with his thrall.
"I give you more big cash when I come out."

The native does a jig and takes the Zielons like a toddler receiving candy. "Dun get eated!" He calls after Ulibossk as the mindflayer and his thrall enter the dark cave. The water continues to rise until it nibbles at the their waistlines. As they move further inside, the enveloping darkness is punctured by a single light source. Ulibossk identifies the light as emanating from a female human being sitting on a rock that rises above the water, curling golden hair splayed over her naked body like a shielding barrier. When she spots Ulibossk she giggles and kicks a pale foot against the water, creating a small splash.

Because trying to stuff Fate/Whatever's engrish and the title of a 17th century book on statecraft into Pokemon syntax tends to make the content incomprehensible.

<Let us begin.>

Cautiously move towards my opponent, feinting with my tail towards the sim-Andalite, gauging its reactions and looking for openings before striking.

Mm.. Sounds like schools dealing in Voidic. They don't do conceptual deletion to my knowledge however. Just leaves a person shaped hole in experiences normally. Something that you know was there but no longer Is.

Keep reading. This topic is of interest.

Cadence is spooked by the dummy coming to life, but springs into action.

She lunges, aiming for a strike through the head with her rapier.

Mega mutters to those with her.
"So it really is some sort of... zoo country. Ugh. I wonder why they don't just turn around and attack the countries behind the mountains that keep them like this."

"You dare think you can fool Ulibossk, the master mindflayer?!!"
Ulibossk orders the thrall to fire at the lady's chest, and casts mind flay on her.
((90% sure its an illusion. *fingers crossed*))

Starlight stares at Jesus like he's sprouted 2 more heads, become a giant dog, and started guarding Tartarus before saying, "...what?", with an expression of being purely lost upon her face. Twilight then says, "Human terms, I think. I don't know what he means by tournament, at least in terms of specifics, but livestreaming is when they, um...I don't know how to explain it exactly. The Canterlot High version of Rainbow Dash showed me one, but I can't put what it was in words. Jesus, can you, perhaps, explain in greater detail?"

The cat stares at Cadence as she trains, amused. "A fencer, are we? A better sport than baseball, at least."

"Basically, and this really only applies in some places, but basically we take our eyes out and replace them with cybernetic ones... uh, magic ones basically, anyways, they take what we're seeing and send that data to a website that hosts the data as it comes in so other people can watch it. I'm sure Samson can show it too you. Gotta go, nice to meet you all."
As before a hell portal opens, the damned scream, that good stuff. Jesus steps through and they're left in silence with Samson sitting on the floor counting out metal plates... or something. Maybe inspecting them? Whatever he's doing they suitcase is gone and there's now metal plates, circuitry, and a humanoid metal frame on the floor around Samson.
