[ With the Ringmaster cutting off the kidnappee’s radios, it seems as good a time as any to use them again -- particularly since some particularly concerning developments have come to light. ]
As you’ve probably heard, some of our people got kidnapped at CY-Ren’s concert. [ If Lambert sounds incredibly reluctant to talk about this, it’s because he is. ] She’s also apparently managed to turn some -- maybe all of them -- into Harbingers like her.
[ Rita, on the other hand, shows no hesitation as she barrels ahead into an explanation. ]
For those not aware, Guardians and Harbingers both draw power from something called a 'Spark'... a physical manifestation of one's greatest passion or desire. For Harbingers, that passion has been inverted and twisted to serve the purpose of the Void... to destroy all living things. In other words, they've been brainwashed, and with their Sparks awakened, they're also incredibly powerful.
And now they’re using those powers to… [ Lambert pauses again. This is the part that sounds really stupid to him: ] … cause trouble around the city. Funny thing is, can’t say we’ve seen CY-Ren around at all. Can’t be a coincidence.
...Right. I don't know what their goal is, but maybe they can tell us, if we manage to recapture them. There has to be a way to get them back to normal, too.
As they are now, they're too strong to take down with normal means, but we have one new tool at our disposal. Through some sort of awakening, some among us are now able to manifest our own Sparks and fight back using the power of Creation. This should give us the edge we need to beat the Harbingers... and CY-Ren.
[ ‘Some sort’ of awakening is one way to put it. To wrap it up before this goes on too long, Lambert finishes: ]
But first we need to know how many of us there actually are. So speak up. That goes for anyone who’s run into the Harbingers too -- if we can figure out their movements or catch one of them, maybe we can figure out what this next ‘concert’ of hers is going to do this time.

I ran into Yugo and Steven, too. But I didn't learn much more than that they want to end everything. They don't sound like themselves at all.
no subject
Hm... you're a Guardian, though? [There's a thoughtful pause.] ...I guess I'm not that surprised.

You'd think for something called "guardian" there'd be more actual armor.

Seems to me like Creation has a sense of humor.
[Rita doesn't laugh, or even really smile, but the look in her eyes suggests she's deriving some kind of amusement from this.]

[He sounds kind of unimpressed.]
I ran into Lavellan but I couldn't defeat her.
Fighting's not my forte, but I could support someone trying to catch a Harbinger. I have five lasers at my disposal and can make hard light projections. They have a variety of uses, like creating floating platforms or barriers. I could, in theory, trap someone.

We're gonna need better than a theory. [ The way he says that, though, is a challenge and an invitation in one. Prove it to him, Nines! ]

Are you only interested in a count of Guardians and Harbingers? Or do you also want their familiars?

Familiars too, if you've got 'em.

We still don't know what CY-Ren's up to. Far as I can tell, none of them are as strong as she is, but it's like that concert again. Shit doesn't work against them the way it's supposed to.

My abilities appear to be entirely support-based, with no offensive skills. If you need healing or plan on hunting down any Harbingers, please contact me immediately.

[Does Creation actually want them to beat the Void, or what? Feels like they're being set up to be the Harbingers' punching bags.]
I guess a beam's better than nothing. Does it have to be heart-shaped, though...?
