This is gonna sound weird but

[ten_zero]

Characters: Bisi and YOU
Date: Month of June
Location: Wood Sector, Tony's Lab, Throughout Keeliai, and in Hatal as Mag
Situation: Bisi is following up on a strange dream. The Somatic Link is completed. Also a catch-all for the month!
Warnings/Rating: None.

A. Hooked on a Feeling

Bisi found herself following an inexplicably familiar path into the wood sector,towards a very particular patch of soil. Unlike in her dream, she couldn't walk the path, so she wheeled her way through the dirt in her chair, uncertain the spot even existed.

It was hard to say with 100% certainty that this was the place that she'd seen before but... it felt right. She haltingly stepped off of her chair and settled onto the ground and started to... dig. The dream had made burrowing into the ground with your bare hands seem a lot simpler than it was in practice. She'd only gotten through a few inches of topsoil before her hands were throbbing and her nails cracked and bleeding.

"Ow..." She should have brought a shovel.

B-1. 80's Montage

Bisi's discovery of the dreaming medallion, a theory about how to set up the somatic link, and work proceeded quickly from there. The somatic link would function as a beacon in the dreaming, allowing Bisi to follow it towards Mag. There was no cryogenic chamber to freeze Bisi in time, but there was a device to put her to sleep.

Bisi slid the headpiece over her head. "Wish me luck!" Trial run commencing.

B-2. Lucid Dreaming

The device powered on and Bisi woke up somewhere else - Bisi immediately recognized the grand halls of organic smooth walls and bioluminescent plants - an Orokin tower. She took a step - noticing immediately again that she could walk. She was momentarily startled by the nearby sound of gunfire. She turned to herself on the front lines of a battle - Grineer lancers exchanging fire with Corrupted Corpus.

"I'm dreaming," Bisi said, saying aloud the revelation. At her words, all the soldiers and corrupted stopped and turned to her, waiting. It wasn't here, it was...

Bisi rose into the air and flew. She passed twisting hallways and grand galleries, through the gateways into the Void beyond. She was flying to Earth... no, to its moon. The moon wasn't on earth anymore. The Lotus had moved it. She rushed through the void, coming upon the massive satellite, and further down she went, to the Orokin installation she was looking for. The one with The Resevoir. Mag was there.

She floated down in front of a large waterfall, and six pods began to emerge. The first one pulled in front of her and opened, beckoned for her. She climbed into the pod, relaxing as it closed down over her. Darkness. Then Light.

B-3. Full of Stars

Bisi didn't wake up - Mag did. Her movements were lazy, languid. She was waking up for the first time in awhile. Her faceplate was alight - not glass, but translucent all the same. Energy shifted around in complex and mesmerizing patterns.

Bisi was still asleep in her chair - this time, the voice came from Mag and Mag alone. Mature, only the slightest hint of cold otherworldliness.

"Hello."

Mag studied the faces around her. She knew who all of these people were, but she was seeing them for the first time all the same.

C-1. Paint the Town Red

Mag is extremely happy to be Mag again, and is absent the hotel and most of her usual spots while she just roams. She revels in her newfound mobility, springint down thoroughfares, scaling buildings, and running atop rooftops with abandon.

C-2. Ooops

Of course not every surface in Keeliai is necessarily designed to take a relatively heavy humanoid robot running and jumping all over it, and Mag finds herself accidentally breaking off a chunk of building as she climbs along the side. She lands heavily on the ground, debris falling in small pieces nearby, shattering a window and some nearby tables and chairs.

The Kedan inside are reasonably upset and Mag tries her best to de-escalate the problem.

"I'm sorry, I fix it, somehow. Please calm down."

C-3. Souvenir Shopping

Suddenly extremely mobile, Mag is free to visit Hatal! She's glad she had a chance to do so before the turtle broke landfall. Many people have recommended visiting, and it was difficult with a wheelchair.

Mag can be found in just about anywhere in Hatal, exploring, looking all the tourist a strange silver metal woman with a glowing face can look.

D. Is For Distracted

Bisi is very scarce in her usual hangouts this month. She doesn't come by the hotel at all in her chair, opting to sleep in Tony's lab, leaving only to get food near the college.

E. Wildcard!

Comments

[problematical]

Caught flatfooted, and apparently unwilling to maintain the facade in the presence of two Foreigners, the kedan mutter excuses and bow out.

"It isn't your fault," River says to Mag.

[ten_zero]

"I..." She looked after the Kedan as they retreated.

"I'm just confused. Um. River, right?"

[problematical]

She nods, watching the kedan leave. River wishes that she could somehow fix the damage caused so that they couldn't pull the same stunt on someone else, but that's not within her skill sets.

"I'm River," she affirms. "But I don't know you."

[ten_zero]

"We spoke on the console." Well, Bisi did. "I looked different then. Do you remember Bisi?"

[problematical]

River looks Mag up and down, and manages to both shake her head and nod at the same time. "You are, but you aren't. How?"

[ten_zero]

"Ah." Mag was a little unsettled. How did she know? And yet... it was comforting that she did.

"It's complicated. I don't fully understand it myself."
