30th Detonator [Text/Audio]

[nameofexorcist]

[A certain commander has spent his Valentine's Day writing reports. Yep.]

...I've recently completed two reports, one on the "darkness" incident and the other on the situation with the cutting lines. If anyone is interested in these writings, I'll send them to you. They're not entirely complete, so any additional information will make them more substantial.

[He repeats his message in text before ending his post.]

A wise idea. [Please hold while she reads through the reports.]

These are all based on your own observations, yes?

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

Yes, they're based on my observations and information that I gathered through others. If there are inconsistencies or missing data, inform me and I'll include your input.

[the-phantom-m1.livejournal.com]

Everything appears accurate from what I know. The first report is very thorough; good work.

[Continues looking over them.] Nothing else is known on the more recent incident?

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

There haven't been many messages regarding the recent incident.

...No one seems to be asking about it either.

[the-phantom-m1.livejournal.com]

The logical assumption would be that fewer people were affected. This may have to do with the shorter time period of the incident. [Pause.] That, or no one found it alarming enough to speak up.

May I ask how long you've been here?

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

Yes, it seems that fewer people were affected.

Approximately one year and three months.

[the-phantom-m1.livejournal.com]

I see. I arrived only a bit over a month ago, myself. Would you mind if I asked you some questions?

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

Alright, what questions do you have?

[the-phantom-m1.livejournal.com]

First of all...please explain what you know about the "chips" and their function in detail.

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

I only have basic information on them.

They're small devices created by the scientists that can suppress all abilities. A doctor that removes these chips might be able to expand on these details further.

[the-phantom-m1.livejournal.com]

By "abilities," you are referring to those considered superhuman, yes?

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

That's correct.

Even magical abilities, which aren't considered "superhuman" back in my world.

[the-phantom-m1.livejournal.com]

Hm. I see...

In your report, you mention a possible connection between these chips and the second incident. Have there been other such incidents in your time here? Ones that were definitively related to the chips.

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

When a chip is removed, the person's powers temporarily go out of control.

...More specifically, there's initial sickness that lasts for approximately one day. Then there may be temporary loss of control over one's abilities for a few days before returning back to normal.

There's been several incidents where individuals lost control over their powers and in turn affected Discedo. [Including himself. 8|;;;] Buildings are sometimes destroyed and some people are even killed.

[the-phantom-m1.livejournal.com]

[She takes a minute to think that all over.]

By all accounts, there is a very high frequency of dangerous incidents just within the limits of this city. From what I understand, very few of them seem to be connected to one another. However, such a large number of varied, unrelated events is unlikely... Is the chip generally considered the default explanation for all happenings?

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

For most incidents, yes.

However, sometimes the blame rests on the scientists... or from an outside source, such as the invasion of the Hollisland soldiers.

[the-phantom-m1.livejournal.com]

Ah? An invasion?

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

In November, a group of soldiers from Hollisland suddenly arrived at Discedo, killing anyone who crossed their path.
