Blazing sun research

From what i understand you lot are finally fighting at Bastion, and from what i Know the Blazing suns grand Cathedral is there. Please do me a favor and let me know when you have finished the fighting there and ill bring you to exploring Krystophsky's "Secret Sub Lab"... How do i know Krystophsky has a "Secret Sub Lab? Simple all mad scientists have a secret sub lab, remember mind was under your town, you all blew it up, released Icarus, tried to kill me? Good times.

Regardless i have no interest in trying to get you there with a war raging on so figure I'll stop by your inn after you have this all settled.

It’ll be good to se you Alexander.
I’ll be ready.

Count me in

Father, that sounds interesting! I'd like to come too!
~Eden Heimdell

Good Doctor Heimdell,
Thank you for that piece of knowledge regarding the Secret Sub Lab that is most probably underneath this Blazing Sun Cathedral.

And be sure to remove everything useful from this subterranean room quickly as I intend to knock down each and every brick of that unholy heretical house of traitorous and spurious schismatics one by one, by my own holy hammer if need be, from the very tallest spire down to the cornerstone lying upon the foundation if it takes me until the next feast.

Where's that Lux Malleus anyway! I could use it for this holy endeavor.
Save the bricks, though. We'll use them to build a real church.

If I'm not on paperwork at the time, I'd very interested in joining.

Secret lab you say... You have my interest in the matter. I will be sure to join the investigation of it.

If I am able, I will join you. Any information about Krystophsky's work is another tool to free his victims from the Blazing Sun and try to undo or stop his atrocities.

Heimdall, you old son of a gun.
Can’t wait to see you again and no doubt help you cause a hefty amount of trouble for the unforeseen future.

Hm if im not on paper work i too would like to join.

Sometimes if you come across a substance, further study needs to be done to identify it. When you are in the laboratory and take a direct sniff of the chemicals you are using, you run the risk of damaging your mucous membranes or your lungs. When it is necessary to smell chemicals in the lab, the proper technique is to cup your hand above the container and waft the air toward your face.

Today I learned that further safety protocols need to be used when examining unidentified substances found in any of Krystophsky's labs. If you find a blue glowing vial, don't let any part of it touch you, and especially don't inhale it, because it's an airborne pathogen.

~Eden Heimdell

I unfortunately was unable to make it back from the battle lines in time for this expedition. Would anyone be able to give me a full, detailed, account of what happened?

Annora,

Im not sure any one of us knows everything since the lab was very large and we mostly split up. I know, for example, that I saw scenes from both Mother Mary's past and Father Harem (Herem?)'s past. I also found papers detailing dissections of angels of various light gods. I do know, however, that Joanna's psionic form has been discovered by the Doctor and likely her father. She appeared to us while we walked through the lab and seemed to be as herself as normal. However, at a certain point, her psionic form seemed to be overcome by pain and she was compelled to released captive celestials that then proceeded to try to kill us all. I saw marks appear on her that indicated electroshocking was occurring at that point in time and discovered she was awake- she can now be in her psionic form while awake. It is my belief (and was confirmed by Heimdall) that they know about her psionic form, discovered she was helping us in the lab, compelled her to betray us, and then proceeded to still torture her to try to turn her. I connected with her mind very briefly and my concept of friend and foe was immediately altered with regrettable side effects. I can only imagine what state she is in now.

They have upped the ante so to speak.

I've got this tray thing that WAS holding Celestial blood in it. The blood all kinda evaporated but I wanna try and poke at it to see if there's maybe any residual god stuff and see if it's only Light gods he was messing with or if we have anything else to worry about.

The celestial abomination things we ran into looked like he just kinda rummaged around for parts and went "This will do!" They were still strong and uh... well the lab is sealed off but we estimated about 40 or so of them in there. Not sure how long that's gonna hold them so we might want to obliterate that area just in general to keep those from becoming a problem. Even when Caelvan and I tried to stealth into one of their enclosures it saw us and almost killed us if we hadn't been quick enough to go back the way we got in.

Khala Stormbringer

As of right now the only way that people SHOULD be able to get in is sealed tight, locked by Hiemdall and reinforced with, golem glue(?). Only way in there would be a lot of time to dissolve that and just bypassing through the cracks in the wall.

If you need to get in there for any reason let me know. I can get you in. But I wouldn't go without a lot of back up plans to deal with the freed experiments.

If anyone is planning on entering the lab now they should be fully aware of the dangers contained within. Father Ephram conducted a thorough inspection of one of the caged celestials, and according to him it had the durability of at least sixty Warriors such as myself. Some time later we were set upon by at least five of them. Each blow they struck was devastating and they were able to overwhelm our defenses in seconds. Had Ephram not been ready with his rune of passage we would have both been killed.

Should you decide to return, either bring strong warriors and stay together for support, or move quickly and remain unseen. Either way, be sure you have the means to escape quickly.

Caelvan the key word in that statement of yours is "should". Who knows what else is down in that lab or if there's a way for them to break out further in.

I'm thinking we obliterate that place. As much as I hate destroying any possibility of more information from in there, the threat they pose seems much greater to me.

Khala Stormbringer

Obliterate that heretically made house of false Light and those vial travesties of creatures in there.
Darius and I barely escaped with our lives, though. They might survive the destruction of the building.

It was actually Selby who locked and sealed the sub lab, I dont honestly think those will he getting out for some time. It was also mentioned to me that these are the mass production versions of something you fought previously...

As powerful as they are, something produced that quickly must have some sort of weak spot. I wish you the best of luck in finding it.

Oog you can all send me messages with research questions

I do appreciate how many of you don't trust the job I did of sealing the lab. The faith you have in my work is astounding. Perhaps next time you lot stab something I'll repeatedly suggest that you did it poorly and that we bring a building down on it, just in case.

As to what I found in the lab, if you trust that I'm able to read parchment or see projections properly.

Firstly, I found a projection of Procter's past. Reach out to me privately for specifics if you want them. (Needs an OOG Content Warning so I won't be posting it publicly).

Secondly, I found four scraps of paper in the incinerator at the lab.
1. Discussed that they studied Enzarond's ritual and think it can be used to control celestial soldiers.
2. They were moving labs to Lab 7A.
3. Discussed that there was a familiar celestial.
4. Mentioned the existence of "Plague of S

Now, if you trust my scientific expertise.
Research showed that the "Plague of S" is the "Plague of Sins"
Its made of Galidelean celestial and makes the person see their worst sins in the form of nightmares.
It also seems to be that Kristophsky has learned how to split up celestials into multiple people instead of shoving one whole celestial into a single person. It seems to have increased the success rate dramatically.

My professional opinion: He's building an army; we best be ready.


If anyone needs me, I'll be locked in my lab trying to figure more of this out.
And before you panic, I know how to lock that door too.

Plague of Sin is the glowing blue vial I wrote about earlier. If found, open in an area where you can't inhale it. Or better yet, just don't open it.

Selby, would you like me to help you with your research?
~Eden Heimdell

Honestly I'm less concerned about whether or not you locked the door than I am about the structural integrity. We came across a part so collapsed I had to use my talents to bypass through areas to get through. We didn't even go all the way back. So who knows. Hopefully it's far enough underground that that isnt an issue.

Khala Stormbringer

Ok Khala,

Sure. Your comment "well the lab is sealed off but we estimated about 40 or so of them in there. Not sure how long that's gonna hold them" definitely referenced that.

Perhaps next time when we go to seal a lab; it would be wise to inform those who can seal it of another possible entrance/exit.


Eden,
I would love your assistance.
Thank you for the offer.

Sorry about my wording. And honestly I forgot to mention it since I was a little preoccupied by trying to keep my god from getting angry with me. There were other people with me as well.

I do have this thing that was holding celestial blood though... Can I bring it by so we can see if we can get anything off it?

Khala Stormbringer

Khala,

Speaking of the vial of evaporated 'god stuff,' has your own connection to Eodra brought you any closer to an understanding of what it contains?

~Nalick DeMarche

I agree with Father Ephrem, it needs to be destroyed. I was in that lab, it must be eradicated...and The Blazing Sun has to meet it's end!

Nalick,

Not sure what vial you're talking about? I have this like... basin/trough thingy that they had Celestial blood in. It's what I was asking if Selby wants to help me with studying it. Although I figure getting some others who are divinely attuned to help out probably can't hurt? Not sure if we can even get anything since it all evaporated... but wondering if there might be anything residual on it. I'm not really sure how to go about figuring that out though. Not something I've ever done before.

Khala Stormbringer

TWAS ATTACHED TO A DAMNED ANGEL GRINDER. IT WAS ANGEL BLOOD.

MS. SELBY, I'LL TAKE A LOOK OVER THEM NOTES YOU FOUND, IFN YOU DONT MIND.

THANK YE
YOUR NAYBOR
