New Avalon

[yamikuronue]

"Wait, sorry, hang on, isn't the keystone out front?"

[CalamityJade]

Dr. Harrisburg scoffed at the statement. "The Keystone. The founding piece of New Avalon, and you'd think we'd pry it out and make it a sort of tourist attraction?!? Don't be daft, woman. That is a recreation of the Keystone using what we believe it was made of. Rather interesting material, only found in the surrounding rock formations of the city."

[Hammer Sister]

"What sort of material is it?"

[CalamityJade]

"Quicksilver Quarts. A lot of the buildings have some worked into the metal. it's part of the reason that the buildings don't tarnish even when we're right next to the sea."

Erika also knows its something that is used for Pulse lights...thought that more of a small thought...and that gear is STILL bugging her. Maybe after this, Dr. Harrisburg would let her fix it.

[yamikuronue]

Erika flinches at the censure, chewing her liip.

[Hammer Sister]

"You mentioned Mordriana was interested in where the Keystone is supposed to be; does that mean it's in the wrong place?"

[CalamityJade]

"It's hard to tell where the center of the city is. The structural center yielded neither the location or hints to the location."

[yamikuronue]

Erika nods. "Back home, what used to be the center of town isn't anymore because we grew lopsidedly over time. So maybe that's part of it?"

[CalamityJade]

Dr. Harrisburg scoffed. "Well, there are also...." He sighed. "This symbol is something I have seen before, but it was rather old. It was at a ruins site several miles south of the city. it's believed to be one of the places that the materials for New Avalon."

[Hammer Sister]

"Would you be able to provide us with the location of the site?"

[CalamityJade]

"I would rather not, for several reasons. Besides, the area is under observation, so I doubt that they could sneak a derigible in there....so I'm guessing they would have to have some sort of backing, yes?"

[yamikuronue]

Erika nods. "If we could follow the money trail, we might get more answers.."

[Hammer Sister]

"True, and it's something we'll look into." Rob turns his attention back to Dr Harrisberg. "But I'd like to return to the matter of the symbol if I may; does it have any special meaning? Maybe something related to the ruins you've seen it on?"

[CalamityJade]

Dr Harrisburg...for once didn't grumble at a question. He seemed actually concidering and weighing things in his head. before answering. "Bloody hell...you really mean to look fully into this. Just know that you won't be able to unhear it." And with that, the atmosphere suddenly became a little heavier.

[Hammer Sister]

Rob feels an odd sense of unease; this wasn't going to stop him though. After all, the GRD expect results; to fail them now...

"The symbol was on the uniforms of the people who tried to kidnap Mordriana; it must have some sort of significance."
