Fierneceal waves vaguely. "I'll be there in a minute, need to uhm, recoup a bit..."
Zeiss:
The orb is clearly messed up in some way, even with your limited understanding of magic that is clear. But otherwise it just looks like some kind of magical artifact.

"Sethos, Hanuel, could you take a look at that orb? It looks like it is messed up in some way. I can't really explain it..."

Sethos nods and reaches out and grabs the orb, instantly jerking away and flinging it to the ground where it thuds dully. "W-what the... hell?"

"You stupid Frog!" Rory shouted. He darted for the orb and scooped it up, being sure to withhold it from any insensate being's grasp. "Go find a glass vase and shatter that!"

Zeiss looks at Sethos with an expression of disbelief.
"Never touch strange artifacts. I thought we learned that by the time Kez touched that crystal."
He turns to Fierneceal.
"I don't think you should touch that thing. It seems really dangerous. As for giving us the ability to operate scion technology..."
The word "scion" sounds strange to Zeiss.
"...Just tell us when you can do it again."
He stands there, waiting for Fierneceal's next action, ready to go through the process Snarg just went through.

Fierneceal is still shaking her head. "I'm not sure I'll be able to for a while, that took a lot out of me." She actually looks like she's about to pass out, leaning against the wall.
Hanuel, meanwhile, has more sensibly decided to examine the orb without touching it and frowns after several minutes. "This... was Materia. It doesn't look or feel like Materia as I know it, something horribly wrong happened to it."

"He-here, sit down and take a swig." Snarg pulls off his pack after taking out a waterskin. He offers it as a seat and offers the waterskin to Fiernaceal. "M-maybe we should just sack that up for now. I've got one in here, hang on." He reaches into his pack and pulls out a burlap sack and offers it forward.

Zeiss ponders for a few moments.
"...Maybe we should focus on Araiguna's problem for now. And the artifact that might have changed him."
He points to the equipment he is talking about.

"Materia?" Rory echoed. "Like that Exit spell you mentioned. Can you figure out what it does, or what it was supposed to do before it was changed?"

"No it's... not Materia anymore. Something ripped the life out of it. Which, uhhhh, shouldn't be possible. Like, literally, you can't destroy Materia. Or, I guess, we can't."
Meanwhile, Zeiss has found one of the strange devices that transformed Araiguna, disassembled on one of the research stations, clearly being tinkered with by whomever was there centuries ago.

Thinking that someone should work on getting Araiguna back to his normal state, Zeiss goes examine the device to see if he could put it back together. If not, he plans to finding some plans that may be laying around.
- Spoiler:
- knowledge engineering of course. Appraise to find a plan?

"Uff, alright, alright, the room isn't spinning so much now." Snarg shakily stands up and observes the room. "Now, let's see..."
- Spoiler:
- Looking for any info panels like I've seen Fier use. Trying to use them to get info on the devices.

Fierneceal, those of you who have bothered to notice, has passed out completely against the wall and is snoring lightly.

- It takes you a very long time but you do find some research notes. It will take you some time to translate them properly though, as their thoughts are discordant and you have issues mentally accepting them.

"I think I found something. Hang on, I'm going to try and understand this." Snarg focuses on one of the tablets and closes his eyes. His ears continually twitch every which way as concentrates.
- Spoiler:
- Doing that for right now.

Zeiss approaches Snarg and prepares himself to follow his instructions on how to reassemble the device.

"Han, you wanna see about getting Fierneceal back on her feet? I'm gonna try this out."
Without waiting for a response, Rory absorbs the orb into him with bated breath.

- Spoiler:
- The orb absorbs into you and within an instant you feel a monumental screaming abyss of pain yawning before you. You cannot see or feel or think anything anymore, just the roar of horror that seems to be stretched out like someone is constantly slowing it down and never stopping, doomed to slow and slow for all of eternity. All around you is a pitiless, violet light and you get the sensation of millions upon millions of others like you nearby, equally trapped, equally lost, before abruptly and horrifyingly your gut lurches as the ground falls away from you and you plummet, for miles and miles at inhuman speeds before within an instant you find yourself back in the research facility, hurtling across the room. You have about one second to realize where you are now before you slam into a wall hard enough almost knock you unconscious. The not-Materia is laying over where you tried to absorb it, apparently having not moved from the spot.

"What the frell were you trying to do!? You are... You know what? Forget it. Yeah, just try to absorb it again."
He ignores Rory and turns to Snarg.
"If you can, tell me how to reassemble the device. You can figure it out, right?"

Reeling from the impact, Rory lays against the wall in silent, abject horror. For a while, he doesn't say anything. "...Don't touch it."

"I'm ... trying," Snarg grunts, eyes still shut. He visibly jumps at the sound of Rory's impact, but remains focused on his task.

- After some time you finally reach the point where you realize what you are staring at is in fact a series of journals by whomever was working here before. Apparently this entire facility was under command of Warlord Anetheron, who was loyal to someone known as the Gold Lord, who had invented a new secret weapon to use against something called the Shadows. This device, which you see before you, was in fact something that would forcibly change the 'lesser races', which you understand to be any sentient that is not a Scion, into a Tusker, a race the Scions enslaved regularly. These Tuskers were specially 'designed' to be non sentient, mere beasts, but very susceptible to mental control. Thus one Scion could mentally command an entire company of expendable Tuskers to battle.

Snarg's brow furrows deeply. "Uh-oh. I think we've found our device, but..." He seems to search for words a moment before continuing on. "I'm looking at some notes here. This device, this whole facility, was under that Anetheron guy. They were building stuff to use against something called "The Shadows", not sure what that is. Anyway, this was used to transform any non-Scion into a Tusker that could be easily mind controlled and used as soldiers; as slaves." He pauses a moment. "Antheron was loyal to the Gold Lord. That's the same guy that Baigen was talking about, I think."

"Yes, it is."
Zeiss thinks for a few seconds. Then looks at Fierneceal who is still asleep.
"Transform non-Scion into Tuskers to mind control them... The Scions seem to be a charming race."
He returns his attention to Snarg.
"Can you find a way to reassemble this? We do not want Araiguna to transform into a Tusker. It is afternoon already."

- After considerable more searching you do learn that there is a 'de-Tusker' option that Anetheron insisted be put in. Apparently this lost him favor with the Gold Lord, who insisted there was no need for wasting resources on such trivial concerns of lesser beings. Nevertheless you do learn how to do it, but... it requires a Scion to utilize.
