Fellowship of Animus | First Council of Sages

[sageprincess]

Characters: THE FELLOWSHIP OF ANIMUS aka pretty much everyone
Setting: Floor 38, early afternoon - forward-dated to July 29
Format: Party style - pick your poison
Summary: After repeated delays, Zelda and Gandalf have finally called the populace of the Tower to discuss productive means of dealing with their situation.
Warnings: None yet, will edit should something come up

It's taken far too long to get to this point.

Come Sunday, the various couches and armchairs of the uppermost lounge have been arranged in vaguely semi-circle-like patterns, with chairs from other floors scattered amongst them to increase seating even more. The semi-circles face inwards towards a central point to facilitate discussion among a large group of people. Though this is by no means a party, small slices of Lembas bread are available on tables around the perimeter - though there is no shortage of food, the hungry tend to be less cooperative, all the same.

Outside, the sun shines brightly without a cloud to obstruct it, but the atmosphere inside is much less carefree. Considering the purpose of gathering here this day, it's to be expected. Should this council succeed, it may very well change life in the Tower as everyone knows it. If not, well... one should certainly hope individual efforts begin to bear more fruit than they have in the past.

Hei stands up. The information may not have been 100% relevant, however, such tactics might be useful in the long run.

"My name is Hei," he spoke, tone calm and strong, loud enough for everyone to hear. "As most you have heard and seed, several people in this tower, including myself, have arrived from a similar place, a facility within the depths of space. However, there were differences..."

He looked around him, seeing if any occupants from that place were here before continuing. "Our purpose was that of clones, nothing more than that, and possible defects which resulted in termination. I bring this up because I believe the two may be interlinked, yet still lack evidence to prove such a point, aside from my own memory."

"Scientists operated similarly here, however, experiments were conducted on a weekly basis, with perhaps one week free of them each month," he continued. "For those that are wondering the point I am trying to make is that perhaps the Consortium, our creators, may have had a hand with this place somehow, or are involved in some way. Those that travel to the so-called end of our world, it's possible it is all an illusion, created with machines. Such a place had been known as Facility 3."

And if they were linked, then maybe--no. There was no real evidence for that either. But something was off alright with everything.

"Of course, what I say is but a theory that they are linked. There is the small possibility that this is incorrect, but even so, the fact remains the scientists have made themselves known, and we do know who is in control."
