2023/11/01: Continued Adventures in Space Part 10 Report
General Summary
Buzz, Aetheril, Johann, Kal'vus, Union, Sith, Zaran, Malakai With the fire elemental dealt with, the party attempted to figure out what to do next. Lots of scrying and talking ensued. Zaran stepped around a corner and disappeared, but at around the same time the party was able to call Malakai to grab his tools and come to assist. In the past, Malakai built a matter annihilation engine from ciricite on Ragnarok. After taking a look at the naked singularity room in the ship, he started building a new one out of material he had on him and parts of the ship. Johann noticed that Kal'vus and Union appeared oddly tired, which he suspected was a sign that something bad was happening with them and time. He pointed it out to Ril. She gave Union a nap via magic, but Kal'vus decided to refrain and see where his deep breathing exercises could get him. He didn't want to take off his mask and leave himself mostly defenseless, and it was not recommended to sleep while wearing the mask. Suddenly, Johann, Buzz, Zeltheon got disappeared. Akia, Kal'vus, and Malakai disappeared together as well. Union, Chatope, and Vortessa found themselves in another group. Ril was left alone with an existential crisis. Who's Vortessa? She's the god-jester in disguise. Each group was still in the room, but everyone else had disappeared from their perspective. The first group found themselves facing the indestructible red ooze. The second fought a bunch of red xenomorph things. The third did something else. Then the groups all trickled back in together after destroying or warding off their opponents. When Ril appeared, she seemed to be struggling, literally grappling time into a sensible shape with her hands. Johann, naturally, came to inspect the result and start taking notes. Union and Kal'vus were feeling even more tired. Buzz handed over a Keurig. While Malakai kept building the engine (which he promised not to bolt to the soon-to-be-inevitably-destroyed hull) and Ril held the fabric of time together, the rest of the party accompanied Akia to the location of the water elemental. The plan was for Akia to swim down, ignore all the defenses, grapple the water elemental, and drag it back out. That plan failed. Akia was fine, but the elemental just turned liquid and refused to be moved or grappled. The elemental, visibly feminine, was also singing what was probably a charm song. Akia gave up and came back out. She did say that apparently there was an air bubble down there, including a campfire and a chair. Johann took this last detail as an invitation to an interview. He cheerfully prepared to dive in to chat with her. Akia volunteered to be there to pull him out if he started acting funny.

Notes
Malakai has giant white wings that don't obey the laws of physics. They aren't always there. 5'9". Red hair (what little he has). Very mismatched gear. Hammers coming out of everywhere. Ril has several swords, shield with symbol. Shield is a body shield, silvery with a bluish dragon head with smoking glowy eyes. Separate holy symbol has image of a setting sun. Ciricite is a specific form of solcite. It/he is/was a very peeved black dragon. The material is also used in Malakai's energy blade, Blythe's energy blade on her scythe, and a containment vessel patch on the Genesis.
