Exploration

[geniusrita]

[Rita is exploring outside of the city today, following the beeps of a small mechanical firefly. It has led her to the shores of a crystal-clear lake; when Rita spots what has gotten it so excited, she dashes forward into the water.

Embedded in the shallow water of the shore is a large blastia shaped like an arrowhead, as if thrown down from the sky

Miss Mordio? What are you doing all the way out here?

[geniusrita]

Hmmmm... your core is intact, but the conversion rate is way below optimal... could it be the lack of aer in the surrounding areas, or damage caused by the impact?

[laserofjustice]

What are you talking about?

[geniusrita]

Would you quit bothering-!

... oh, it's you. What do you want?

[Jazz was wandering about the island when he came across this lake in question. He notices Rita up ahead and picks up the last bits of what she was saying]

Is everything all right?

[geniusrita]

Your body seems to be holding up okay, and the core is intact... so why is your power output so weak? Is the aer conversion process being disrupted...?

[jirubajazz]

[core, aer, what? He moves to one side to get a better look]

What is that?

[geniusrita]

Would you just be quiet and let me think!
