Okay, we are back!

‘It’s big, it’s ugly, it’s dumb, it’s yellow-brown, it’s got big ornate spikes all over, it’s got a large mouth at the bottom of its body, it’s got two lumpy arms…’ Shun Shun begins to relay.
‘Body looks to use some kind of ceramic for its dermal structure.’ Haru Haru notes more helpfully. ‘There’s also a high amount of residual Magical energy coming off the thing. Other than that there are some eyeball sentry things lurking around.’
“Can you capture the main one?” Basilea asks.
‘Easily.’
“Wait, hold on.” you warn. “Remember, we don’t know what such a thing is capable of. Don’t bring it here just yet.”
‘It’s looking at me funny.’ Shun Shun grumbles.
“Send visual feed from a Scouter first, then.” Basilea orders them.
A new screen shows up, this one from one of the goo girls. Huh… well, Shun Shun’s description was spot-on. It looks almost like some kind of… robot? Though not quite, maybe some kind of Magical construct or sentry. The exterior does look familiar, like that broken machines with ceramics and silver-blue metal you’d seen prior. Aaaand it starts casting Magic, Shadow Magic by the look of things. Before it can get whatever spell it was attempting off, Shun Shun freezes the thing in place, encasing it in ice.

>A. I guess it’s safe enough, then. Teleport it over here, I wanna get a closer look>B. Tell the goo girls to just observe it for now, we have this crystal room to check out first>C. Can one of you get me over there? I’d like to investigate that further but without letting it in this room>D. Something else?
