Needed to find a new battery for this thing without any money. That was fun...

Need somebody who can run tests on something of a supernatural nature. Don't have any money to pay, but, I can make it up to you somehow.

Again?

It's been here before?

[thefifthmonarch]

It turned Kouji into a Steelswarm and infected me temporarily.

[naturalcure]

So it's already caused some damage...

Are you both still connected to that cafe? I can bring what I have there.

[thefifthmonarch]

Yeah, fortunately I was able to break the ones that were here. But Sullivan crawled off, then crawled back in, then crawled back out again.

I'll let Erland answer for himself, but yes, but I keep that place, uh, for really private time.

I'd prefer if you dropped by my corporate offices or my mansion's gates. Though you'll have to deal with the doorsmen and waiting a bit with the latter.

[naturalcure]

I'll bring it to your office. Where is it?

[thefifthmonarch]

Black Velvet. It's a modest office building at [Address Goes Here]

[naturalcure]

Alright. I'll bring it by soon.

...I was more thinking in terms of the earlier darkification virus, which I presumed was related.

Honestly it's hard keeping up with all the corruptive influences on Earth anymore.

[pureplainpatron]

And yes, "Ascendancy". Though I'd be fine with meeting somewhere more neutral as well.

[naturalcure]

I don't think Darkification is the same as the infestation. The Darkification, we think, might've originated in Meikai and was Ha Des and Dark Balter's pet project. That's as far as we can trace it back anyway.

We still don't know where the infestation came from. I guess they could be connected, but I kind of doubt it. They behave...differently.

Anyway. Ascendancy's fine, I at least remember where that is.

[pureplainpatron]

Hmm. Perhaps you can fill me in on all the details when you get here.

[naturalcure]

Alright. I'll bring it by soon.

::Erland walks in from the back room door shortly after. He's wearing a brown suit like a professor out of the 50s, or Indiana Jones when he's not being awesome.::

Re: Event

[Isabel almost makes a comment about how he ditched the pink, but decides she's not here to talk shop.]

I brought a contained sample of the infestation from the forest and gathered up some stuff from the island where that Antiluminescent Knight attacked and where Juudai and Desde had been fighting him for the past few weeks. Can you figure out if there's any trace of the former in the latter?

Re: Event

[pureplainpatron]

I'll have to have a chance to study them, but if there's any particularly unusual property of the infestation, I shouldn't have any problem.

Did you want something which could be used in the field to detect infestation traces in the future?

::Erland holds out a hand, presumably to receive the samples with.::
