For those who do not know, several Outsiders have vanished into rifts. The first was Ereshkigal, during the kaiju battle in Egypt. As far as I know, no contact has been established.

Since then, three other Outsiders have also vanished: Ratio, Godzilla, Tsurumaru. I have been investigating but coming up mostly short.

There were no witnesses for Ratio's disappearance, but Nyuu and Hayakawa have confirmed that a rift opened and took both Godzilla and Tsurumaru. Only they were taken, despite not being alone at the time.

I may have a clue as to who is next.

I do not wish to cause panic or alarm, and I am not sure what can be done to prevent anyone else from being taken. I will bring these findings to LILITH as well.

During the mission in Egypt, we were inserted into the dreams and memories of other Outsiders. I saw one of Ereshkigal's. In this memory, she was speaking with several other Outsiders. Seven to be exact. Among them were Ratio, Godzilla, and Tsurumaru.

The other four were Yzak, Hiyori, Kabru, and Silco.

Kabru is already gone, though his name is gone from the network, a glitch. Those taken by the rifts are still listed, but unable to be contacted.

I would encourage those others in then memory to not be alone until this is solved.

If you have any other information you would like to document in this post, please do. We need to share what we can in order to get to the bottom of this. I pray you all stay safe.

[OOC: Raidou's theory on this player plot might be shot very quickly, but he doesn't know that. Go wild with the speculation in the meanwhile!]

[She "already knows"? Creepy. Does she stalk the network, or did Silco tell her that directly...?]

Right, cuz your old man is such a paragon of non-violence.

[He doesn't even know a FRACTION of the shit that Silco's done, but trying to egg Dearka into stabbing a dude and then offering to do it himself when he refused is enough for Dearka to feel justified in saying that.]

Believe it or not, I actually didn't come in here looking to start shit. And even if I don't like the guy, that doesn't mean I want to see him stranded on the other side of some interdimensional alien rift.

I can get a lot of harder to find machine parts and tech resources from my civilian job. Just fyi, in case you have a hard time finding stuff for your own efforts.

[He's fully expecting a "fuck you" and an end to the conversation here, but he figured he should at least try and offer.]

[ yes and no. noctis' post was a wake up call. she can't trust these people. not when this is all they ever go on about. there are many reasons to hate silco. jinx even has her own. but this constant belabouring of attitude annoys her. ]

He's the worst. Still my dad. You're just a guy with a receding hairline going faster than his morals. So I'll pass. You might step on him with your robot and call it a day.

Also the ideas on top? Won't work. You can't stop the rifts. Focus on something else.

Leave me alone. I lost my dad.

[The ironic thing is that he really wasn't trying to harp on that point. What he WAS doing was making some very tone-deaf observations that were highly inappropriate to the moment because he's kind of an idiot like that. He tends towards being over-familiar, and he talks to everyone as if they should already know and accept that he's kind of a wise-ass sometimes.

Silco's gonna Silco. Dearka's long since accepted this, and he usually doesn't waste any energy being irritated by it unless Silco makes it his problem, which... He can keep the count of times where that's happened down to one hand. If anything, he's more of a menace to the old man by occasionally attempting a little network bullying and pot stirring.

That's why it's really tempting to defend himself by denying the robot squishing accusation, because seriously, he would never. But by now it's obvious that he's really cocked up this whole interaction and done MORE than enough damage, so.]

You're right.

Sorry.

[Making a note to himself: maybe try to apologize some other time. Preferably after they've managed to sort this whole mess out.]

[ at least someone has listening skills. she's not going to bother with a retort. tired of doing this over and over. losing her mind. jinx knows why silco prods and pokes people. for him, it's entertainment. he wants to unravel them all, but jinx just — feels tired of all this. fear clamouring in her head. losing, always losing —

she doesn't care if no one likes silco. she just needed him to stay. and this?

this is her worst fear come to pass. ]
