- Elevator descends into a black cavern, purple lights that glow
- Mining camp, robots digging continuously throughout the day
- Obiado knows what they are, or at least that theyre similar to a crystal he has
- This seems to be solidified memories or smth that can happen. A powerful creature died here, its memories were in the crystals. Most are inert, but we could try to reactivate them
- Obiado spits his crystal out and puts it in his pocket. We all notice. Its glowing
- We all start questioning him about the crystal and he confirms he has it
- Z: why are u so sad about it?
- O: i didn’t want u guys to see it

- M: everyone??
- O: everyone. It’s better to be in the trash than to be with them
- Party: miku ur ok it’s ok
- 26 sends miku 10 minutes of happy thoughts but it’s actually logical explanations of how she’s not trash

- A: Luka, we found Hatsune Miku the starlight idol
- Luka: Korr lied?
- A: No, Dr. Korr did not lie. But Hatsune Miku the starlight idol is ok
- Luka follows Asper to see Miku and is so happy she trips down the stairs
  - They hug and cry for the next hour

70 hours of downtime
- 26 hanging out with the bug and vespucciano

Approach the aetherion capital, Tharkun-Zar
- Ask “name and identification of ship.”
- We pay our way in
- Meet her at the reception
- Go deep underground to a beautiful city, far beyond the muck that obiado had been in
- Before we can pass, a man looks at us
  - “Ay they were right! You are here!”
  - “You dont have the best memory. Salvi Alboresi. Vesentis family. Would u like to meet 2 of my friends on the board?”
  - O: YES! YES WE DO!
  - 26: we would love to
  - He leads us over, 2 members of the board sit on the couch next to the man
  - “And where’s the bodyguard you were assigned?”
  - Weve been separated
  - “He is going to become secretary of defense. Im the acting board member of offense and board of defense. If he were to appear, itd be a shame if he appeared there wouldnt be someone to stop his more aggressive moves.”
  - We say he was last seen auver system Remembrance Streams
  - (unlikely based on witchwarping that he didnt go far, he can escape from our reality.
  - “You’re oddly forthcoming
  - Z: we want to find him as much as u
  - “Even if he likely wishes for ur death?
  - A: that is exactly why
  - Woman can hear our groupchat “we are worth the knife. However its unwise to do so.”
  - A: how might we assist you?
  - “You have already. If what we’ve understood happened happened, youve gotten rid of someone who… is favored by the CEO. with his absence, we might be able to act freely.”
  - (zmena, these ppl are high enough rank to sit next to persanare so they dont have the brain chip thing, but there’s no love in capitalism.)
  - Wont tell us persanare’s role
  - Woman is Haibram Braeveni, in charge of magical operations. Highest both can cast is 10th. Main man is current runner of disposal unit known as Hozanic Lavaerex.
  - A: you may want to know this. The last we heard of him was that he dismembered The Spider.
  - “And how did you hear this?
  - A: he was not very quiet about this information
  - “And where did this happen?
  - A: it was in Aedryn space.
  - “And the Spider, in his recklessness, did not attack any of you?
  - A: he tried
  - “So it was you all who killed the spider?
  - A: we did not kill him
  - “A pity, i would’ve paid you his bounty. Now Almado will receive it
  - Z: we have somewhat of a common goal, if youd like some contact. We’ll let u know if we hear anything
  - “Of course. Send it thru official channels.”
  - “Its bad to associate with pirates such as yourself thru direct means.”
  - O: pirates?
  - “How would you describe your actions?”
  - O: correct? Morally justified? The right thing to do?
  - “You could be on the right side, all u need to do is a little investments become venture capitalists. Shes doing adventure capitalists.”
- Go to Meiko
  - Meiko hugs miku
