[Entrapta is in the gym car again. Even if Claudette is complete, she still likes to play, and she leaves her there when she's off mission. The little dinosaur looking robot with purple lighting is running around in the background of the ICPs view when she has it on, chasing a ball with little dancing emu kicks.]

Hi! I'm Entrapta if I haven't met you yet! I've been doing a lot of research into magic to see what similarities and dissimilarities exist between worlds. So I was going to ask if anyone could do me a favor and allow me to record you. If I find more general similarities it might be able to help us block specific types of hostile attacks, specifically mental ones. [Because their last encounter was so specifically mentally targeted she wants to help in the protection department. But maybe as generalized as possible.]

This includes qi, aether, traditional magic, any sort of energy that can be manipulated by living beings into solid objects, methods for healing, or offensive attacks.

[Claudette moonwalks through the background balancing the ball on her head.]

I also really need to speak with some people that might have experience researching souls attached to items. I want to see if it's possible to re-establish the connection to the original body. It's a relatively new idea to me, but in my world most Princesses are inherently connected to their Runestones. It's a trait that passes down through generations. But our Runestones can be destroyed and we still maintain some of our magic, though not at maximum capacity. I still have powers even though Dryl's stone was destroyed long ago.

[She points to herself with three different locks of hair as if to say, 'Yes, this person with these hair abilities, that's me.']

I've also recently integrated an atmospheric analyzer into Claudette. If you see her on mission and she starts making a siren noise? Then you might need to seek safety. I'll write out a list of the new sounds I've installed.

[Claudette honks in the background. And Entrapta looks exasperated.] They all know you can make that one! I'm talking about the ones you can only make when there's trouble.

[Honk honk.]

...Also if someone can take the time to come by the gym, could they use her for target practice? Don't destroy her or anything, please. She was very difficult to make. But she has good shields and can regenerate some injuries and she loves to play dodge. Just be sure to tell her she's a good girl.

[Death has no nerves. Death has no blood vessels. Death is not physically capable of getting a headache.

Headache is a state of mind.]

How widespread.

[sciencegirl]

Welp, now I know four people with detached soul problems. And that means there are probably more.

[Even four people is more widespread than detached souls should ever be.]

[acapriciousthing]

I've seen it before.

[She's ten billion years old and from a really weird universe, she's seen most things]

But it happens because someone meddled in things they shouldn't.

[Meddle is a four letter word in Deathspeak]

[sciencegirl]

In this case it seems very much like the people involved didn't consent to being meddled on. So that's unfortunate.

If there's a way to fix it for them, I'd want to find it.

[acapriciousthing]

Normally I'd be reluctant to get involved myself... but it doesn't seem like it would do as much damage here. And it would be setting things back to rights.

[sciencegirl]

Do you think you might be able to put them back?

[This is such a strange problem for someone to have.]

Suddenly I think it makes more sense that there's a lot of Deaths on the train if souls needing to stay in their bodies has become such an issue.

[acapriciousthing]

I think so. Most of my job is making sure souls end up where they're supposed to.

[Just... usually because a change of that status]

It is a bit of a strange pattern.

[sciencegirl]

Excellent! Good. I'll let some of them know.

I think some of them might have their souls allocated in devices that control their powers somehow. BUT! I will work on that part. I am betting that maybe I can come up with a way to put the soul back where it goes and let them keep their big power moves.

But I'll let the others know straight away.

[acapriciousthing]

[She sighs]

People seem to think that's a good idea sometime. It feels like it's easier to focus, but that power can come from inside too.

[Yes even certain brothers had to learn that one]

[sciencegirl]

I've learned enough about transformations that I think I can make an external trigger for it, too. She-Ra's used a crystal, and Nozomi's uses a device.

So if the power was inside them but had a similar outside control... [She's just muttering as she thinks.]

Let me talk to some people and I think I could manage something.

[acapriciousthing]

A lot of the time people put a bit of themselves into something and then it turns out that was really holding them back. The artifact was training wheels.

[She doesn't know the specifics for any of the people mentioned, but she's seen things]

If you can figure out the power thing, I can move the souls.
