[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.

"If you promise not to break it, I could let you look at my Kyutama. That's attached to my soul and allows me to transform. I can also probably test my blaster against Claudette, as long as she gives her permission. I can turn the power down so it is little more than a light show."

[sciencegirl]

Thank you! Her shields should be pretty high quality but power levels are so inconsistent here that 'high quality' sometimes ends up outclassed quickly. I'll leave it at 'just don't break her and be sure to tell her she's good', and she'll be alright!

And thanks! I have a magical scanner so I might be able to get some readings off of it. What exactly is a Kyutama?

[washibot]

"A Kyutama is a gem that is used by the Seiza blaster to either turn into a Kyuranger, or to use special powers. I just have the transformation one right now though."

"Um... I don't know how much you know about magical transformations though..."

[sciencegirl]

I know about magical transformations on two worlds! [Hers and Nozomi's, thus far.]

But I'm always happy to learn more! Such incredible power and matter transference. It's so incredible. Plus they're just fun to watch! Like fireworks but with dance moves.

[washibot]

"There are a lot of sparkles and posing... That is true. If there is an area with enough space for me to fly, or at least stretch my wings, I can transform."

[sciencegirl]

There should be sufficient room in the gym car currently. The open area is pretty large. Unless your size change exceeds twelve times train average after transforming, then there might be a slight difficulty. I know Adora grew to approximately eight feet after hers. She never did stand still long enough for me to take precise measurements.

[washibot]

"Hrm, no, I fly, it was Kotaro who could change to be up to 8 meters tall. I just never quite figured out the physics of the inside of the train vs the outside, so I like to ask."

[redmeguca]

What about souls that are items? My Soul Gem is pretty much exactly what it sounds like, my actual soul removed from my body and crystalized.

[blitzcheer]

I can't help with the soul thing, but if you're thinking about those illusions with the mental block, I know a few spells and items that could help? You can borrow and study them if you want.

But they worked with those illusions some. [ So!

If that'll help any...! ]

[helborn]

[He was going to respond about the target practice, but -]

W-wait. I need to know about the souls thing, too. Without hurting what it's currently attached to. Please...

[He does his best to keep his voice steady, but it's shaking by the end. He's always held out hope, but maybe...]

[sciencegirl]

There's not a whole lot of room, but the space provided should be suitable for a test run.

If you're not sure, Willow has wings as necessary. If you ask her she could probably tell you the optimal areas for spreading them.

[sciencegirl]

Was that painful? That sounds painful.

How did that happen?

[Souls that are the items aren't exactly what she's looking for, but they are something she might be able to work with if she finds the right information.]

[sciencegirl]

No, that's great! Especially if I can find multiple examples of what works and observe a general pattern of effectiveness. We could distill the effects in our own customizable spell.

Also, hi, Tidus! Sorry I didn't catch up with you sooner. I've still been researching but I need conductive resin.

[sciencegirl]

Well.... yeah, sure. That's kind of what I'm hoping to do. There are a lot of resourceful people here and since I have experience with people bonded to objects, I believe there's a high probability I could be successful.

[Given time and information. It might take a while.]

Why are you interested?

[cureofmanyworlds]

I'm always willing to help you, Entrapta! Just tell me what you need and I'm sure I can help out!

Honestly, I'm not entirely sure how everything works with how I am, sooo...

[helborn]

I... um. My soul's not in my body. My mother took it and stuffed it in... something else. I've been trying to find a way to fix it for years.

I'm... really tired of puppeting my own body. I want to be whole again.

[sciencegirl]

Hey! I just met someone else with a transformation sequence! Have you transformed on the train and found a particular area superior for it?

[sciencegirl]

Well, I'll need specifics and some scans. I'll also need to record how you interact with the something else.

Hopefully this research has a chance to yield multiple solutions. I can order some research books once I receive points again.

[helborn]

Um. Okay. I can meet up with you whenever, I'm not that busy...

Oh, and is your robotic friend immune to elemental damage at all?

[sciencegirl]

Oh! Yes. The shield design was originally meant to withstand attacks from projectiles and elemental Princesses, so very much yes. They were a lot of fun to make!

[Sometimes designing warbots is fun! And very educational.]

[cureofmanyworlds]

Yes, yes, I have! My magic is offensive in nature, but you probably have plenty of that. It's also purifying magic, too...

I've never tried it on an ally before! Let's see if it heals, too! It can't just be for purifying evil, right?

[sciencegirl]

Oooooh, purifying magic! That's great!

But I'm never one to turn down a good show of destruction, so I'm very up for seeing more of that, too. Not at me, of course. But at expendable resources.

Do we have someone conveniently injured that we can heal? Should I just hang out in the gym until someone gets hurt and let you know?

[schrodingersghost]

Oh hey, I think we talked about this back on the mission. I'm still on board.

[He thinks a moment.]

I can probably help out with target practice too.

[cureofmanyworlds]

I dunno if we have someone who's injured, but if you find someone, let me know!

Ah, but if you just want to see things get destroyed, I'll be down for that, too!

[helborn]

I've got a bunch o different kinds of attacks I can test on her if you want. I've learned a lot over the past few years.
