Empathy.
Sorrow.
Fear.
Hatred.
Doubt.
These are merely bindings that will slow her down. To cast them aside once more will allow her to not be hindered by thoughts that plague people into hesitation.
-Xil. Wake up-
[Yeah?]
-Fourth fragment-
-Found it-
Her eyes reopen.
The two serpents are moving above a ravine. Beneath them is a large chisel like object that is jammed in between the rocks. It is purely made from metal, with rows of holes running along the length of the vessel. The front has a row of barrels while the back has a single barrel that blooms outward like a funnel.
[That giant chisel thing?]
-Yeah-
-It’s definitely in the Kodachi-
-We’ve searched everywhere else-
[Kodachi?]
—Retired watercraft from the Crusher sector. A few decades ago, it was transferred to Great Sorrow to be cannibalized to make the steel lotus automatons—
—When it drifted too closely to the island of faces, it was infested with the malevolent objects in the island and became abandoned—
—We can cut it open to speed up the search but all the entities will come pouring out—
—Or you could go search there alone.
They haven’t seen people in a long time.
If you could remain undetected, they won’t be a problem—
Xil decides to..
>>Venture into the Kodachi aloneIf she can remain undetected, she’ll have plenty of time to search for the fragment.
>>Let Nin and Wan rip apart the KodachiWipe out all the malevolent entities in the ship before she searches for the fragment.
Those serpents can shoot out water jets which will cut through steel.
>>DisengageNah. She’ll deal with this problem later.
Ask the two serpents for a ride to the hoard of lotuses at the water’s surface instead.
