"And why not?" He inquired, sensing he was on the verge of getting more info out of the navi. Quo was certain the navi was definitely hiding something now."Right now I'm looking at two alternatives. Either I find a way of acquiring control of my temporal capabilities and possibly healing my arm in the process, or let myself go on like this, running the risk of killing myself via the use of them one too many times."
"As I said before, I don't care what it takes to get control back. I just want it done so I can use them to protect myself, knowing it won't kill me in the process!"

Resonance glance back to Quo and sighs. He didn't understand just what that move could entail...
Resonance: ...I've seen Navis suffer literal fates worse than death at the hands of this group. If you knew how many deaths, both human and Navi, that they're directly and indirectly responsible for, you would never give that course of action a second thought.

Mirror hears bits of their conversation as he draws near, but stays out of it. Instead he replies to their previous questions.
"Wound up here after getting deleted. But it wasn't some female assassin. It was Juno." |

Quo did a double take. Juno was now deleting navis? 'This... Is not a good thing. In fact, this is the worst possible scenario.'
When he spoke, a serious tone was heard. His search would have to wait. "What happened with Juno."

Data was ripped apart and then forcibly put back together rapidly, thankfully in the right place. It felt like eons for B.o.B. the moments that it spent in the area between deletion and materialization. B.o.B. materialized next to mirror and then collapsed on to its hands and knees. A small part of B.o.B.'s face plate slides up and then begins vomiting out excess data. When Juno had destroyed the network B.o.B.'s data fisher caught up and stored all material data. It was too much, hence why B.o.B. needed to purge the large amounts of excess materials in its system. As the stream hits the ground it splashes and then gets deleted, oddly though some of the data skitters away quickly running away into the wild.

Quo only had to take one look at B.o.B. to get a grasp at what had happened to the navi. "How many others were with you and where were you." He asked Mirror. No cares for if B.o.B. or Mirror were ok, only for how many Juno had wiped out. It was clear that if navis were respawning here that, wherever Juno was, the network had been cut off in some form. It was clear Juno was more than just your average navi, but he needed to try and grasp on how large of a scale he was capable of performing it without the aid of the games.
And he intended to stay as far as way as possible from him afterwards.
"And I really don't care what they've done." he said, shrugging his shoulders at the warning. He was so close to what he needed to hear he could taste it. "I have a potentially lethal problem, I have only a single lead on it. I'm not in a position to pick and choose my options. Unless you know a far better method, then by all means please share it."

Resonance looks up to Quo, a dead serious glint in his eye as he does so.
Resonance: I do. Give up on temporal power. Let your body heal and find something else to use. It's nothing but heartache.

B.o.B. appeared and he vomits data. Mirror sighs internally at this, frustrated with the stress caused to himself, his new friends, anyone affected by this game Juno was playing. Reaching down to help B.o.B. to his feet, he answers the new question. His mind is still racing, and his answer comes out in spurts and poorly formed sentences, jumping around in his train of thought.
"Maybe around a dozen of us? I don't remember to be honest, it was a fairly large group. We were in L'Internet du Soir. There was a sort of makeshift faction forming, we were all slightly differing in reasons, but we all agreed that this game was ridiculous and would cause more fighting than the net usually has. We were going to do something about it, possibly even look for Juno. Maybe look for Nidhiki, figure out why he has 100 points and do our best to protect him. Then Nidhiki showed up there. And then Juno. And then someone named Jin tried attacking him. Him being Juno. Which was stupid. But I can't really blame him. Then Juno binds Jin, and tells us he's used DarkChips and that we're to be the jury and deliver a verdict. But we were "a hung jury," according to Juno, and then he just..."
Mirror trails off, obviously upset about what had happened. He gestures to B.o.B. and continues.
"Needless to say. Now I'm here, as is my friend B.o.B."
Just then, Mirror notices something in his hand... a Shard of Truth. It glows faintly red, and he turns his hand up and lets it rest in his palm, showing the others.
"Well this is weird... I didn't have this before. |

Quo could only laugh at Resonance's suggestion. "In case you haven't noticed, I was deleted and regenerated entirely, yet the arm didn't heal. It's most likely not coming back by standing around." He shook his head, staring at the ground, frustration building up inside him. All that work, for nothing. 'Show's what I get for being nice for once.'
And so he turned and started walking out of the ruins of the mountain. "If you're not going to help me, then this conversation is over. There's no way I'm fighting a monster like Juno either, considering how efficiently he wiped you all out. You'd need someone of equal strength to even have a hope, and even then we'd just be flies in that fight." A dismissive wave to the three behind him as he walked out, hands in his pockets.
However, he didn't immediately log out or switch networks like most navis. Instead, he kept walking. 'He clearly doesn't want me going wherever he got that from. But if I'm still willing to search for it, regardless of the danger, he may stop me and tell me to avoid further endangerment.' Of course, that in itself was a gamble. But it was a far less risky gamble than what he had gone through earlier.

After B.o.B. finished purging the excess data B.o.B. gladly accepted Mirror's help up. Dusting itself off B.o.B. stood next to Mirror as he conversed with the other navis. Mirror introduced B.o.B. to the two navis, who where strangers to B.o.B. The group conversed about the event with Juno and simultaneously arguing with each other about time. B.o.B. thought to itself quietly "Hope Challenger is ok...what happened to the others...what happened to that network...oh no my pieces...they are probably gone by now..." Then Mirror raised up his hand, a strange shard in his palm. A red ? appeared on B.o.B.'s face plate. What a strange thing, it peaked B.o.B.'s interest. B.o.B: "umm...might I take a look...I umm...specialize in data analyzation..." B.o.B. said softly still trying to compose itself.

And then a large stone (now marble it looks) fist suddenly erupts out of the snow dangerously close to BoB. The arm alone towered over him and could potentially crush him if it so chose to, but instead it bent itself in a manner that would allow the rest of... well, Golem, to pull itself out of the snow. Another arm shot out and followed suit, slowly pulling the massive stone entity from it's icy prison. How it got there was easy enough to deduce. WHY it had been put into the snow was another mystery.
After freeing itself, Golem sat and appeared to stare off into space. It paused for a moment and surveyed it's surroundings, paying everyone gathered no mind as if they were not significant enough to draw it's attention. It was in a new place, the area that another navi indicated and one that it personally indicated prior to Juno's arrival. There was a certain... something about the place that appealed to Golem. It was quiet (until Nidhiki's box was opened), and the soft howling of the icy wind was strangely soothing. Golem wasn't even in the slightest bit cold, a perk of being made entirely of stone... or marble in this case. When had it changed into marble?
After determining it's location, Golem returned to staring off into space. It still had more questions then answers. Why did it have no memory of being created? Where did it come from? WHY did it exist at all? What was it's purpose? These were the more pressing questions weighing on Golem's mind, which it began to ponder quietly for a moment or two. Then a reddish glow drew it's attention. A strange shard.
This was... different. Golem stared at it in it's massive fist for some time as if scanning it, which given how it could monitor networks for activity worth mention, it may very well be. The one called Mirror spoke and mentioned his possession of a shard. Golem's shard appeared to do nothing, atleast for right now. It was extremely... absurd to assume that this shard would do nothing at all, it just didn't seem like Juno would do something like that. So what was it's purpose?
Golem concluded that the others who had been "deleted" and pieced back together may very well have one of their own aswell. The one called BoB, did he have one aswell? If he did, then Golem's intuition would be correct. If so, what were they supposed to do with them? Gather them together? That would be easy enough should that be the case, or were only ONE of them meant to gather the other shards? That would be... problematic. Golem clasped the shard and seemingly fused it into his body for safe keeping.

Hearing no response from the navi, Quo decided it was time to leave. It was getting too cramped like before, and he didn't care for hearing about this Juno talk. 'It'd be better to stay out...' Still, for speaking of such a dangerous organization, the navi was rather foolish for not at least giving a vague idea of what the danger was to Quo. Yes death had been mentioned, but death was always a course of action with every shadowy organization.
But now he had to figure out his next course of action. 'I think after everything that's happened I need somewhere nice and quiet. I need to determine a course of action. Just chasing after this clearly isn't going anywhere.' He knew of one network that matched his needs.
And so he switched networks. Nothing fancy, just a small blip, and he was gone, already at his new destination.

Mirror notices Golem has a similar shard, and nods as B.o.B. volunteers his services of analyzing Mirror's shard. He offers the shard to him. Nodding at Golem, he speaks to B.o.B.
"This guy... statue... had one of these shards too. Think there's a connection? Maybe you have one, too... What if we all have one?"
Mirror trails off, thinking. Realizing his rudeness, he addresses Resonance.
"It's been a while, Resonance. Shame we're meeting under these circumstances. I guess some things never change, huh?" |

B.o.B. delicately accepts the shard from Mirror with its right hand. "What a strange object..." B.o.B: "Thank you for your trust...okay...lets begin..." Command Order-Break The shard of truth glows a soft orange before popping out of existence. Millions of zeros and ones fly through B.o.B.'s mind breaking down the code of the shard of truth. A red !? displays on B.o.B.'s face plate... |

Returning his helmet to its rightful place, Resonance returns to a standing position and nods to Mirror.
Resonance: It has. How have you been?
