[ 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.

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! ]
no subject
...Are you saying I should test it on you?
no subject
[ Though... ]
What's wrong with your shoes?
no subject
[Grumble grumble]
My shoes have heels

Talking animal. Supposed to help with this whole Guardian thing.

Lucky you.
... but that power didn't include walking in heels, huh?
no subject
No, it didn't. And the female androids back home fight in them!
[Who has a new appreciation for 2B and her heels? This guy.]
...Does that mean you don't know how to use your powers?
no subject
Come by the training yard, if you can walk that far. I want to see what you can do.
[ And he wants to ask him about this whole 'Foster is my familiar now' deal. ]
-> action
Roger that. I'll see you there.
[Sure enough, 9S at the training yard, rocking some heels and floating lasers. His sword and pod are noticeably missing, though that's because they're at his trailer.
Thanks to Scout, 9S is absolutely strutting his stuff in the heels, far more comfortable in them than when he first started out. No wobbling, even! He'd still prefer boots, though.]
no subject
Huh. Suddenly, I feel a lot better about myself.
no subject
What? Why?
[Is it the shorts underneath the skirt? Are they going to need a booty off?]
And when did you get a motor vehicle?
no subject
That's Pig. [ Yeah, that's right, that's his horse who normally towers over 9S. She's still pretty big like this, but at least she's below his eye level for once ... though the heels definitely help. ] Creation decided to turn her into a familiar, apparently.
