Wanna play a game?

The Mission at hand: Kuja's been accused of murder. In relation to 1 Dr. Epstien, a psychopath and former chemist/biologist.

From Axel:
"We were called by Harrison to do some searching of Twilight Island when Dr. Epstein broke out. We checked out the university where he used to teach. He apparently rigged his office with chemicals and dragged someone in the back of the closet too. Tink found a couple of busted beakers there, and the professor who used that office was killed. This guy's an expert on chemicals."

"We then went to a waterfront tavern that he frequented and he was there, but too close to the embassy for anything to be done directly. We tried to pass as a wine tasting group but he figured us out. He pretended to give up and Kuja showed him his badge of authority. Apparently he shot Kuja with a custom poison dart that froze him in place...and next thing we know the ambassador was shot. Kuja was framed for it and the do

"He also made off with Kuja's UMN pad. I realized it when I actually tried to take it myself so that they couldn't get a hold of Kuja's ID, only to find out it was the pad of the professor he just killed."

The dead ambassador has caused high tension between countries with the blame for the death falling to the DW and Arcadia. A diplomatic mission would now be the chance they need to solve the issue all the while watching out for this mysterious new foe.

The group gathered aboard a massive zippilen style aircraft that would they got a grand tour of before meeting Rathbone to begin talks about how they would proceed with negotiations. He informed the party they would have dinner with emporer of the Galeron Empire. They only had 10 minutes to prepare as things where going down right now!

Upon arrival they came across the shocking discovery. What was suppose to be a technologically 'behind' country that arcadia could curbstomp in the event war broke out ended up being a mako driven enviornmental hazard nightmare of an armed force. Calculated being able to go toe to toe with Arcadia and even exceed it if needed.

Despite this new fact the group pressed onward and entered the halls of this empire to speak with its king. The king and his 4 generals as well as the psychopath Dr. Epstien where before them with Epstien gorging himself on a grand meal.

They all sat down and began talks with theories flying back and forth. Epstien goading kuja and trying to instill the sense of impeding war amoung them. Genesis easily broke down these matters and Mac called for the evidence to be shown. Upon examination it was discovered that it was ...ridiculessly not worthy enough to be called evidence and the generals investgation team had made a major blunder. At the same time dragons meat was served to the team which many choose not to eat. The king went off to have his cooks prepare another meal. As tension in the main dinner hall escalated Epstiens safe haven was destoryed in an instant but the young psion Aziel usual paranoia paid off to late as he realized the king had been gone a really long time. Williams rushed to his kings aid only to declare him dead moments later.

It only took a few moments but rathbone also began suffering its effects. Aziel psionically held Epstien in place while others delt with the impeding difficult situation. You see Epstien's heart was rigged that when it stopped bombs would go off the location of which was not entirely known by all. What was once his safe haven was now out for his blood putting the dimensional warriors in a bottleneck of an issue with rathbones now unknown condition. Upon probing his mind aziel discovered the culprit, it was no kind of poison.

Epstien had created a micro organism deadly to other organic life and in his mind he felt it had the ability to destory everything. So fanatical in this sense even in his wildest dreams even he dies as the organism becomes the only life left on gaia. Its name, Penance the current iration of the organism had also evolved being able to infect by touch. At the same time the kings daughter ...and now queen rushed in and in a rage also tried to kill the king..she was slept to make life easier as she was easily very irate. This seemed normal for her

With the party now realizing this tension rose even higher with the call for the young psion to rip how to aid rathbone right out of his mind. Aziel trembeled at the notion, Genesis realizing the DW had previously created a set of special parameters that limited aziels use of powers finally lifted a 6 year restriction but would he give into those dark desires? With the generals attempting to put everyone behind bars, some out for Epstiens blood, and the warriors inbetween it all.

Unknown to the group within the mental domains Aziel attempted to get Epstien to fix rathebone offering him his protection. Epstien however goaded aziel and mocked him , though it had little affect it did make aziel hesitate. Listening to the cries of his team mates in the chaos he acted. A decision they all would come to regert.

A powerful mental barrier existed in Epstiens head and in an instant his mind began to implode. Aziel was only able to gather the following before putting everything he had into maintaining Epstein brain functions acting as a mental life support.

'Penance, the bio organism epstien created was not contagious and only infected someone upon initial contact with the organism. It evolves with each attempt to destory it. Epstien sent the bombs out 32 years ago to random locations'

Arguing with the generals the DW argued for a sense of urgency to leave so they could aid Rathbone before the situation between the two countries got worse. General grant refused to allow them to leave. General West however gave them permission to do so. but with grant refusing to accept this sent the Might of the airforce after the DW.

It was now a race against time. In his best state with nothing to bother him aziel could maintain this mind for hours. But theree where many factors that could tire him out alot faster. With, bombs set to go off the minute Epstien expires, and the military force behind them the crew races to arcadia in the hopes of healing rathbone, finding the bombs, and avoiding destruction before Aziel's "timer" runs out. Can they do it?

Continued report:

As the young psion took Epstien to a mental landscape in the outside world a high stakes airbattle took place! Axel, Develin, and X took to the skies with the arcadian forces for a high stakes airbattle. The 3 quickly took out much of the enemy airforce before encountering a new high speed flag model craft. Before it vanished over the coms they where given information about a mysterious 'diffuser' drive responsible for much of its mobility. But before the battle could continue the group exited operation space and the battle ended having safely exited the territory.

At the same time Aziel and Epstien spoke as a lifetime went by in his mind. Epstien spoke up about the actual motives and creation of penance. Epstien was approached by the 'Witches' (he indicated there are over 30 some actively involved in world manipluations and uses of there powers, others sitting in the shadows, others not even aware they have them) which came to a surprise for aziel as it was indicated there was only ever 1 witch at a time in possession of that power and currently that was suppose to be misha. 32 years ago he was given the notion to create it and with the aid of magic and his high intellect in chemistry and biology created penance and at random sent off the biological microorganism to grow and mature inside of bombs attached to his heart on a timer. Aziel tried to gain more insight but Epstien offered none. As the psychic reality around them (aziels power to keep epstiens mind together) began to crumble Epstiens final momments where at hand. Just before his passing he gave the exact address of his home ....perhaps more clues could be found there and ..an eerie cryptic message 'Its a pity you dont know which mother you serve'.

That message had been heard before during the romp threw time and space by a mysterious Ing-esque entity that had the abilities and knowledge of The Jackal while not being the Jackal.

With Epstien's death the timer has started ....curing Rathbone to prevent war between nations and finding the bombs in time before penance can go off. Will the mysterious powers sitting behind gaia all this time emerge to stop them?

Mission report continued:

Some time has passed, the new Queen has taken no quarter and blamed Arcadia for the kings death. Taking to the throne with the notion of divine right, and being above all, has taken the Scaraba desert as a staging front to strike at arcadia. Mysteriously Rufus Shinra is present...though his role is unknown besides providing the country an extreme amount of new weapons technology. At her coronation she is seen with 5 generals ...but only 4 where present. With some reasearch it has been shown that this 5th general "General Zyn" is an engimatic figure but in charge of the security Internal Security & Police Forces. Could he be the reason Epstien was allowed to stay with such shoddy evidence?

Sidenote Information: Research reveals the countries religion has from his history worshiped a being known as "The Great Hyne" a name known by those in Eshtar as the entity responsible for the creation of the first witch. Given everything in this mission uncovered by the witches and the Queen's claim of divine right it is assumed much of penance and starting a war has a great deal to do with behind the scenes actions of another power. Selphie & Irvine are two people who can be asked about "The Great Hyne".

Unrelated: Wilhelm makes reference to Hyne in his own texts.

A medical team is gathered to remove penance from Rathbone. Aerith, Edward Elric, Kuja, Ghenna, and Dr. Carson Beckett and met with a resistance no one in the room had ever seen. The creature attempted to cast magic to prevent Edward Elric from finding and destroying it while it shot out lasers threw rathbones body cutting up pathways. After a few hours of heavy work the group managed to remove the organism. But after seeing it realized if millions of patients where infected with the penance organism there would be no hope of removing it without death or causality from surgeons and hospitals across the globe. Epstien's dream would most certainly become a reality rapidly.

The war on arcadia with the galeron empire has pressed into arcadian soil, and the warriors press on to stop the next bomb in the Aquas region. Knowing it's location within a pinball machine the group searched the area finding it in a children's pizza place. After dealing with some annoying brats and pulling the fire alarm the group moved to disarm the bomb which had its counter sped up by such actions as pulling the plug or moving the machine. Things that had happened often ...with great care it was disabled. 1 down ...3 to go.

Lezard's careful scry have saved Ghaleon some time as found the second within Galbaldien territory at the Presidents Residence within a pillar. With the zone having a no UMN policy and a militaristic style government ........this random place was going to be difficult. How would they proceed?

Sidenote: Aziel visits his uncle who tells him that the Arcadian empire cannot lose. There is something mysterious going on with timelines as they are all being forced down a signular path. Aziel has informed the team that the arcadians cant lose. This alludes to the mysterious amount of technology the galerons massed in almost no amount of time with no able to detect its happening.

With an attack on Nocturne boards looming and arcadia set to lose its most important supply route. The dimensional warriors loadout in there new and improved vehicles aquired over many a journey and do battle with the Galeron empire. The new and improved Seraphim Crusader holds its own while Axel and team on the ground handle enemy armies forces with speed and style....and in Nabeela's case cutthrought ruthless chainsaw action. This pushes the Galeron empire back from Arcadia's most important supply route.....with the DW's aid will it be enough to save the arcadians. It is also learned that several dragon clans have been kidnapped.

A televised video of Drafalos capture has been released and the Queen of the Galeron empire wishes to do battle with it for glory and sport. Meanwhile the team follows up on the mysterious information left before Epstien passed away left to Aziel. Upon investigation its discovered not only did epstien not kill his victims he did so to protect them. He had been put under a geas (a magical command that one must obey) and the bombs out there are his acts of vengence on those placed. Though his actions are no longer evil ...Epstien still was driven mad, he left his experiments on VHS. His goal of survival against the witches procession is quite literally killing everyone. However..the mystery of the timing remains...as well as the Queen's intentions...is she one of the witches? A figure head? Or simply a mad queen. With new mysteries abound ...the battle continues.

Note: Epstien's Videos: https://board.dimensionalwar.com/viewto ... 145&t=3501

Given what we had just learned I thought it to soon to go. But Daedalus was..in his fashion furious for his dragon-kin. I couldnt blame him but I just have a feeling we are going to miss something if we rush in head first. Regardless thats exaclty what we did moving threw the Aremethian ruins we found an unlikely ally in the current leading coordinator of black arms. The identity of which remained a mystery with their aid we where able to enter the Galeron empire undtected and come up with a plan.
