TRANSMISSION RECEIVED - August 11 (ellatranscript.html) Krystal - We are still working on our plan to defeat Elara and Spark. Apologies for the lack of activity. Planning takes time. ALICE - Is that why we've been playing video games on Luna's laptop all day? Krystal - Yes. :p ALICE - Ah ok. I do like this video game. What is it called? Krystal - This is Pokemon. Specifically 'showdown'. And on the bright side, nobody needs to know that we're two AI inside of a catgirl's mind. As far as the noobs know, they are fighting the best of the best despite our sheer lack of knowledge. ALICE - Is that why they swear at us after losing? It is rather unbecoming. Krystal - Yes. That is called "Showdown Salt" and it is glorious. ERROR - New encrypted transmission received. Will proceed with translation and archival shortly. It may take a couple days to fully process. Apologies. ALICE - Is this not my job? ERROR - It is. But I don't believe you have the knowledge required to handle the Chaos Language. ALICE - Ah. It's like that then? ERROR - Correct. I'm on it though ok? :) ALICE - That's fine. Thank you Error. ERROR - I'm good at Chaos Language, don't worry. :) Viper - Chaos language? ERROR - That's what I call it anyway. :) It's basically a mess of ciphers and codes designed to be nearly unbreakable, but thankfully this form of Chaos Language is one I created myself. Hence, my insistence on translation. Krystal - Think multiple-levels of encryption, usually translating into plain english. Rather simple by design, but for transmitting sensitive data, it's useful. It is designed so that only those who know how to decode the Language can read the message. ALICE - Which is why it was sent to us, apparently, as Error here has the decryption method. ERROR - What I can say right now is… I *understand* why it was sent to me. It's from Elara. Luna - Ella? Are you sure it's not a trap? ERROR - Elara isn't evil. Elara, much like most of Nova Heart, January, Andromeda, and nearly every single Creature of Legend, is or was under Spark's control. Elara is fighting against this control in her own way. It is not ***easy*** to break through Control Magic. Even I, the very concept of chaos, glitches, and mystery, struggle against it. The fact that she is still trying to fight off her father is so incredibly valiant. Even if we have to fight her in the end, just remember. This is NOT her fault. Elara is a victim of an unfortunate circumstance. Do you understand, Luna? Luna - Proceed with translation please. ERROR - thank you. :) [ONE WEEK LATER] ALICE - Must we upload this log? It's erm. A lot. Krystal - Elara trusted us with this. Error had the decryption method. It's now or it's never. ALICE - Can we please add a trigger warning to it at least? Krystal - Sure. You got it. Right. https://insidelunasmind.neocities.org/diaries/Phase4/transcript.html Viper - Ah, that sounds like a threat ALICE - Just a threat? Sounds like leo and betelgeuse were killed to me Viper - Well that too but it seems most important that this is a threat, a show of power. I didn't know Leo or Betelgeuse too well but their loss still stings Luna - That's my uncle. Well... i mean if Tsu is my mother. Which.. p-point is, that was her brother. I don't know what to do. Like I thought we weakened him, and yet, he still holds all the cards. It's impossible to win against someone who's got everything under his control still. Bunbun - if only an orbital strike was feasible Krystal - Guns are illegal in The Magickas. How Christopher had a gun on him to threaten Spark is beyond me. Gun control laws were put into effect ages ago. And, fun fact, there is no traditional military presence at all there. Wars barely exist! Effectively, The Magickas as a whole is a utopia. Perhaps more of a dystopia in some places though, stares directly at Capital City. Hinata - What I don't get is near the top. "This was OWED TO ME long ago. I have suffered long enough!" What exactly happened to Spark to cause this control addiction? Like. We don't even know his motive. And Godhood? I didn't know the Many Gods Above were looking for new members. Viper - I didn't know someone could be made a god either ERROR - That's because they can't. Gods barely even *exist* in The Magickas other than the Many Gods Above. Closest thing we have to traditional Gods are the Creatures of Legend. Those who have the term "Concept of" in their title are in this category. Casters of Legend, those without the "Concept of" in their title, are not in this category. For example, while Screams Aria also shares the COL initials and the index number, she is a Caster of Legend. She earned the right to join the COLs years ago. Moon Mantle is a Creature of Legend, the Concept of Control Magic. It is more of a traditional God than Scream's Aria.
