*Arachnia looked over to Dal'Lumen when he first entered but turned back and finished her examination before standing and noting that the other two had filed silently into the courtyard. As it turned out, they were just there for Arachnia to babysit since they hadn't contributed to the search so far. When Dal'Lumen called to Lirimana the Empress looked over to see the pair gathering with the others*
I see that we are all here. In the name of urgency shall we gather back at the Warbird and fill each other in as we walk? To be honest, I'm not sure how safe this area is and I wouldn't like to see the Warbird tampered with

Resplendent Wood 3,
Oh, hey!
*Lirimana grinned and waved at the Zenith who had beckoned to her*
Did you find anything interesting? Oh, hey, Arachnia
*the Twilight looked over and shrugged when she offered to talk as they walked*
I don't care how we do it. If you're worried then we should head off to the vehicle. Shall we?
*using a flat hand, she swept it out in front of her in an "After you" gesture*
So, back to my question. Dal?
*a dark brow raised in question and Lirimana flashed him an encouraging smile, hoping to urge him back onto the subject so he would answer her*

He cocked his head to the side, wondering if he had been speaking too quietly this entire time.
"Yeah, I got this."
*Dal tossed the rolled up Star Maps to Lirimana, they sailed through the air rather well, as if in another world Dal were an experienced paper boy.*
"You can add that to our collection."
*He stood up lazily, each segment of his body lifting itself to its proper stature starting at the knees, and working their way up to his head. After what anyone would agree was too much time, and an exalt worthy effort - he was on his feet again, and walking towards the others.
"And what did all of YOU find?"
*He said with a noticeable spike of irritation in his voice. If he had to ask yet again, he might just give up and go join Sentinel in the Warbird.*

Resplendent Wood 3,
*Arachnia shot admonishing look at Dal'Lumen. It would seem that their Zenith's patience was spent already*
I heard what you said the first time, Dal'Lumen, there is no need to grow cross
*the Empress turned to Lirimana now, beginning to walk to the Warbird since no one was interested in responding to her earlier suggestion*
He found Star Charts and a scene which I also found, though I must pose the question: Was the man one-armed or was he holding something? There was an argument and a considerable amount of research done in the Library, mostly books that would collect into a way to topple empires just like this one. It appears that they are going to start a rebellion and have already burned any excess documents. The argument carried through the hall and into the courtyard where the one who the argument was with was kicked through the door. The fight continued and a burning agent was used, I've already collected a sample of the burned grass for testing, and then they all ran towards the perimeter
*Arachnia had continued to walk, creating a situation where the others had to follow her to hear what she said. She paused her speaking for a moment to look over her shoulder and see who, if any, had followed*
Lirimana and Dargo probably saw the rest of it
*she was drawing near the Warbird, her senses focused on the upcoming area. She had a feeling that had begun to lurk in the back of her mind that someone would be waiting for them*

*Lirimana caught the scrolls and blinked at Dal'Lumen*
What's the deal, Dal'Lumen? You mad that I didn't hear you?
*the Twilight sighed to herself, feeling like she was back in school. She guessed that the Zenith had some serious pet peeve about repeating himself. Luckily for her, Arachnia was doing it for him. Trotting after their Empress, Lirimana glanced at the charts and rolled them back up. She was following behind and nodded, now having a precursor for the situation that she had encountered*
Yeah, we found a gold hair around the edge, I think it's the same person from the Quar incident. We should have Dargo smell them and see. There was more fighting on the perimeter that started between two men and then a woman ambushed the attacker. After that the defending man and the woman jumped off the side. On the other side of the island four people had been standing around, probably talking since the imprints were deeper but then it looked like they disappeared. Just like that, gone, there weren't any signs of jumping or flying or anything like that. That was where we found the hair

*DalLumens' face turned deceptively calm, a smile creaking across an otherwise stone face, more threatening than friendly. He walked calmly toward the warbird with the rest.*
He fought back further expressions of annoyance from being berated by the Empress, and to the protests of Lirimana. He dismissed Arachnia, and turned to Lirimana.
"No, it's quite all right Lirimana, I'm not one to get mad so easily. At that, It got your attention, eh? None but the extremely vain, wish to hear themselves say the same thing more than necessary."
*He shot a grin at Lirimana, letting on that he was simply mocking himself by toying with tonality. However, his grin faded quickly when he shot a quick couple of looks at the two newest arrivals. He swayed, lazily, but gracefully onward, in the direction of the Warbird.*

* A dazed expression held about Tari's face, as if there were someone probing about in her mind... but a few blinks, and a rather loud outburst shot her back into reality.*
" It was me!! I was the woman at the end of the island!"
* she looked off in the direction of the rim, where the traces of the woman were, then began moving her arms around as if doing something between reenacting a scene *
" I sat right there, my legs hanging off the side.... then someone..... Boots! It was Boots!
Boots gave me a peice of paper before we jumped off the edge!...."
* She blinked as her mind reeled over the influx of once lost information, puzzling over how she is not a pile of liquid right now*
"... but the paper... the paper was that picture... of the man... I am sure of it."
* The formerly quiet Quar followed the group, not shaken in the least that Tari had practically screamed in his ear*
" Its weird... the minor gods were not telling me anything. They even seemed scared that we were searching... and when I asked, they would either run off, or lie to me.... poorly. I don't know what to think..."

"Lets have it here!" *growled Dargo.*
He was still in his wolverine form but could alter his vocal cords to speak.
*Dargo crawled over to where the golden hair was to inspect it, nasally.*
<spend 1 temporay willpower point to gain 1 automatic success /perception+ investigation/ difficulty 2; 3,1,9,6,4,4,10> 3 successes>
*Dargo inhaled the gold hair's scent with all his carcajou might! (go google it) He was able to retain the scent. It was now etched into his mind forever.
"This smell. Oh I'll find these hairs' original owners I will!"

Resplendent Wood 3,
*Arachnia looked at Tari and nodded before regarding Quar-Zagot with a glance, mulling over the prospect of a lower God lying to their superior. Surely they knew he could tell the difference?*
Well, at least that part of the scene was involved. Were you able to see the other person in that scenario. Before you jumped off of the side, of course
*turning to Quar she started her questioning with him*
Quar, did you attempt to use force with any of them to get an answer?

*now that they were back to the Warbird, Lirimana stopped. There wasn't anything here, but maybe she should ask Sentinel or Zeriku if anyone tampered with it while they were gone*
Wouldn't they know that you knew that they were lying, Quar?
*she looked over to the wolverine that was Dargo*
Where did you smell that before?

* Tari closed her eyes and began whispering to herself, trying to recreate the scene in her mind. she frowned slightly as she opened the, shaking her head slowly*
" No, I can only make out the face of Boots... I can not make out the other".
*Quar nodded at the questions asked to him, heaving a sigh and rolling his eyes*
" Yes, I knew they were lying and they knew I knew they were lying... but I left it at that... why? should I go back and force it out of them?"

Dal stopped abruptly, one of his feet was already on its way off the Manse platform and dangling several feet above the top of the Warbirds hull, which hung in the air a couple thousand arm spans from creation below. He stamped his foot back down on solid ground and turned his head slowly to Dargo.
"You know these people brother? Where did you meet them, who are they?"
He was obviously quite surprised that Dargo claimed to know these people.

"Know them before? No.. But I got the smell memorized for sure! What should I do now?"
* Dargo leaned back and began scratching an itch behind his ear with his foot. It was to bad he could not do this in all forms. He then hopped in the Warbird*

Resplendent Wood 3,
No, Quar, I don't believe that you should use force to get information. Mind games and social manipulation for sure, but when physical force comes to play you don't always get the information you really want or need, even if it seems like you do. What would make a lower officer lie to their superior, knowing that that person could tell. Were they attempting to relay anything with body language or expression to you?
*Arachnia's attention diverted from Quar to Tari again and she nodded*
Alright, Tari. Thank you for trying. Now, shall we go ahead in our day? We still have preparations for the trial to attend
*slowly her shape turned silver and then dropped into a puddle before reshaping herself as a raven. A hop and she was in the open and waiting Warbird*

Resplendent Wood 3,
*Lirimana looked over into the Warbird where Dargo and Arachnia had just entered and shrugged before looking at Quar and smiling*
I think we're up top again, Quar. At least I weigh less than Dal.. At least, I hope so
*Lirimana chuckled and gestured for Quar to get on the roof of the aircraft*
You, too, Tari. You should get in and secure yourself. No need giving you a risk of damage
*more than she already was, anyway...*
