... That, I do not know since they were not escorted by senior crew. We have some speculation it may be caused by strong waves creating dimensional tears and rifts, but it's something we need to research.
The mission I was aware of was the one fielded by Thebe, Ganymede, Europa, and Callisto. They debriefed that they went to... Barbie Land?
That is what their report said... Grade 4 storm, surroundings took the setting of a pink city named Barbie Land.
While there were people living in it, they noted that many times they'd break into song... They're mostly high-energy, uplifting, but sometimes a line about existential dread and death would crop up. Sometimes, the denizens would turn into plastic dolls and hunted them in attempts to convert them to their ideology.
... I didn't think I would hear of anything like Abnormalities outside of The City, but that's quite terrifying. A Grade 4 storm... that sounds like a nightmare.
Grade 4s recently are more dangerous... In this example, the report mentioned the dolls clumping together to become a giant plastic horror that attacked them. It bled like tar.
Since this should be a grade 2, we shouldn't be facing enemies on that level. Likely, we were barely face any.
My apologies, Miss du Prix. I should have at least left a message since I very could be a victim some day. We just had a lot of work to do, as you already know.
No no, it's all right. [The chill reminds her — there's questions she'd like to ask. Just not the sort she can in front of other people. For now her smile only becomes a touch muted, her eyes flicking between the other woman's.
But she presses on.]
I'm just happy to see you again. Um, though I'm not sure what's expected of us. Is there another tear in reality in that storm?
[ They took a little ship, so they didn't get slurped by a black hole. ]
For now, we will explore and find anything odd. After a scour, we may figure out the objective... Think of storms being a game. There is always an objective of some kind from the reports I've read.
Sometimes it's as simple as "completing" the experience.

However, we should still stay vigilant.

We are looking to conclude the storm...

[Pause.]
So to shoot this, I pull this button here?
no subject
Yes. While I would not mind letting you test it, I worry that it could cause a portion of the manor to collapse...
no subject
Are you going to be coming with us?
no subject
[ So of course. ]
I would never let any of you go on your own. What if you get lost?
