PARADISA

[Success! After over a month of scouting, Bladewolf has finally found an ideal location for castle-wide evacuation. Though he can't express "happiness" as a human might, he nevertheless feels a sense of accomplishment, just in being able to cross the item off of his current list of objectives.]

I have discovered what I believe is a safe, secure location, for use in the event of a castle-wide evacuation. In my efforts to scout the grounds, I found a large outpost to the west of Cair Paradisa, which is currently being used for observation and experimentation by Aradia Megido. I believe she uses a piece of technology known as a "Transportalizer" in order to access the Outpost from the castle. If it is possible, I believe another of these could be installed in Avengers Tower in town, providing both castle residents, as well as those who live in town with a means of evacuation, should it be necessary. I do not believe that the entire population of Paradisa could reside here indefinitely, but a large number of residents could use the outpost as a shelter for a week, if not more. Further investigation is required.

I assume that you have settled in well? I have been preoccupied with other directives, so I have not had time to "check up" on you.

[Those outside today will find Bladewolf out by Alexstrasza's tree. Though he can't feel any of the health benefits, he nevertheless appreciates a good bit of shade, and a place to lay down and relax.]

[Bladewolf didn't require much sleep, which is why he's surprised to find himself "waking up" at all, and it only takes him a moment to notice the half-dozen tiny LQ-84i's currently snuggled against him. He knew that there were a few models that shared his basic body shape, in the form of the LQ-84 Fenrir, but they had never been so small. Spotting his journal on a table nearby, he pulls it over with his tail.]

I do not know why the castle has done this, but....I am currently the caretaker of six LQ-84i's.

I...was not given any education regarding the care of children.

[Hearing their "father's" voice, the LQ-84i's begin to wake up, stretching themselves out, before they proceed to leap all over Bladewolf, and each other. High-pitched versions of Bladewolf's own voice can be heard, spouting things like "Exterminate!" and "Superficial damage."]

I require assistance. Anyone with knowledge or experience regarding not only the care of children, but knowledge of robotics and artificial intelligence would be appreciated.

[Those with their journals open may hear the screams and violence of the victims of the Event Horizon in the background for a few seconds, before a monotonous, robotic voice pipes in.]

Castle residents aboard the Lewis and Clark, this is Bladewolf. One day ago, the Gravity Drive on the Event Horizon was briefly activated, drawing a small number of people into it, driving them mad. Since then, whatever was experienced by it's initial victims seems to have spread to everyone else, with visual and auditory hallucinations of a traumatic nature being the most commonly reported symptom, driving many to extreme violence. There are a small number of individuals that have been killed, and several more that have been severely injured, and anyone capable of administering medical assistance has been incapacitated. We are unable to open the docking bay door to escape.

Whatever is being done to help us, I would ask that you expedite your efforts considerably, as I fear that we may not last much longer, at the rate this mental illness is spreading. In the intervening time, I will be standing guard over the Gravity Drive, to prevent it's reactivation at all costs.

[A pause, as this next bit sounds surprisingly human, with a small touch of panic noticeable in the tone.]

Please...hurry.

[Anyone aboard the Event Horizon will find Bladewolf standing in front of the door to the Gravity Drive, a high-frequency knife clutched in his tail manipulator. He's not spoiling for a fight, but he'll give it if anyone tries to get past him.]
