<span class="mu-i">Lagomorpheus shakes off the pain and rides the adrenaline high over the edge of the cliff, down on the sand and up the ramp in a fluid move. The quiet professionals up top twitch, move to intercept, and meet him in the air with a boot and a glove. Almost made it.
Riv slides past the Watcher, contraband up his sleeve, and uses the sharp of the bayonet to pry open another crate. This one too is heavily reinforced. It made scant sense while transporting bayonets.
But inside this crate Riv finds something else entirely, if no less warlike. Free College Resonance Interaction Conjuration Emitters. These are rare. Hard to make. You slide a wrackshard, those odd, precious gems that contain the essence or attention of an Icon into the fittings and the glove can maintain a low power output without channeling the wrack-stone through your body and soul. It is one of the few grand and appreciated things that Forenisic Archeotheology has wrought. Used to be, wrackstones wielded by shardsouls chewed them up their lives bit by bit, every use of their possibility paid for with a slice of the self.
You saw a Scaleheart in the park during your last Dance, a man with the pristine shard of a grand Leviathan, slowly metamorphing into a creature out of legend. But shedding humanity to do so.
Interaction Emitters lower the cost of such artifice tenfold. You can't buy them at any price, because anyone would pay most any price to prolong the possibilities from their acquired wrackstones. They're rare here in the city, because Shardstones in general are more numerous and more powerful the closer one gets to the Aikan interior, the Golden Paths. Where Mistil said the wind sings sometimes and the other grows close.
Riv also finds a clockwork sparkstriker attached to a class two demolitions charge, put there earlier by a passing professional. It goes "click".</span>
