XIII. [Rocket-only video - Joint post with Agnus ([personal profile] tickleironysjudgment)]

[Hello, and welcome back to Rotom Channel! Yup, that's still Rotom in the lower right corner of the screen. At least, this time, Gorthan has figured out a way to put this tendency of Rotom's to some use - you'll see how in a moment.

The laboratory is dark - quite frankly, Gorthan would not have it any other way. Atmosphere is important, and the Evronian scientist is, at heart, more of an aesthete than he usually gets credit for.

What seems to be the only source of light is meant to illuminate a very peculiar device, shown at the center of the video that is being broadcast. Decidedly circular, for it is made of rotating rings with a round core in the center, and, all in all, not unlike a gyroscope at all. In fact, that is exactly what it would look like at first glance - a somewhat fancier kind of gyroscope. Could it be that what Agnus and Gorthan have been working on is nothing but the kind of expensive, yet tacky ornament you would find in the house of someone pretentious, extravagant and with money to burn?

Of course, that's what it only looks like. It is, in fact, their first joint brainchild. To be fair, Agnus was responsible for most of the work, as Gorthan had been busy with the Rocket mutations, which included his own. Dist helped out, too, by the way!

In spite of the little light, Gorthan can be seen in the feed as well, pensively staring at something on his wrists - two bracelets that he has never been known to wear. After a moment, he raises his eyes, showing his companion a small smile. Judging by his words and by the way he seems to sometimes look into the Gear, he seems to be aware that they're being broadcast.]


The moment is solemn, Agnus. Is there anything you want to say, before we begin testing? I used to know someone here - testing was literally the reason she lived and breathed. While I doubt that you are exactly the same way, surely the trascendence of our work is not lost on you.

This project has come far indeed, and your mutation is quite fortunate. This prototype is the culmination of our efforts so far, the materials we have synthesized to produce the greatest reactions all molded into this opus. Artistic design and scientific prowess, married into these glorious devices. [Agnus' gleeful smirk does little to hide his enthusiasm for the current endeavor. He eagerly prepares his notepad for the data they will accumulate and record, a steady hand despite his excitement awaiting the first round of testing.]

To see my knowledge of alchemy, your knowledge of biology, and Ser Rose's knowledge of design and mechanics all married to produce such results is glorious indeed. Let us go forward, then, you may proceed when ready. We will start small. Observe the reaction to low-level abilities before we move upwards.

[[OOC: This is a joint post with Agnus! ([personal profile] tickleironysjudgment). Obviously, turquoise is Gorthan, orange is Agnus. Much testing and experimenting - all public for Rockets to see, unless stated otherwise - will be in their thread together.

Edit - Also IMPORTANT: This is backdated to before everyone loses their powers.]]

I plan to try, at least. I was fortunate enough that my previous line of work provided a means to this end. It may not be quite so simple to expand it further.
