“Teleportatiooooonnn…” The witch mutters as she performs some unknown task on her end, “Excellent choice if I do say so myself…”
As if on cue, the room around you begins to hum and rumble with magical energy! Back to back with your pals, you give them a determined nod. No goin’ back now!
“Destination…. <span class="mu-i">locked.</span>” Murmurs the witch as the lily pad below you begins to glow blue! “Sentries <span class="mu-g">ESKER</span> and <span class="mu-g">VIBALD</span> have been programmed… IFFs updated, virtual intelligence configured for autonomous operation… cores charged… observe, Rodhi, you might <span class="mu-i">learn</span> somethink for once…”

And in a flash, your world goes dark.
