"You would be surprised. People kill sometimes, without planning to, in blind rage."
Meepo sighs. He looks older than ever, his scales gone a muddy grey, his eyes looking very, very tired.
"I have to go."
A number of baatezu are spotted a short way off from the gates of the Sanctum apparently discussing something, but when Sunny G sends out someone to investigate them, they make themselves scarce.
A short while later the politician is discovered to have vanished.
There is a note which it looked like he was writing where he was last seen which starts:
...and it abruptly ends there.

"Oh crap. The Yugoloths are not going to be happy about this. Remember, Rio, do not go after Alaina. Even if you spare her, she may not do the same, in the state she's in. If you are too selfish to avoid that risk, then clearly Serafina needs a better guardian."He takes out a scroll and, speaking some words, vanishes.
With Alaina and the other away at the Bazaar, Sunny G. Takes time to continue some neglected personal projects. Bouncer and G.E. Roberts continue to administer security and customer service respectively.

"Sunny G has no problems with them. He employs two or three. One the other hand, I think they burn quite well."
Serafina sits on a beach chair, despondent. The laughs and cries of the folks staying at the temple resort seem to have no effect on her

Rio sits next to her, holding her hand.
"It's not going to be easy. But there are others who know you were not yourself, and will stand with us to convinve those who don't. My dad let you prove that you were willing to set things right, didn't he? That alone will carry much weight. I will always side with you, and fight hard till everyone understands."

"Serafina, we should leave before Alaina comes back. Let's go to the Oasis, we can enjoy the waters there and think about what to do next."
"Serafina, we should leave before Alaina comes back. Let's go to the Oasis, we can enjoy the waters there and think about what to do next."
Serafina sighs
Yes, it was premature to come here.
She stands up and walks towards the omniportal

Sunny G. takes a seat in his office and begin to thumb through the operation's manual for his cyberdragon.
"Hmmm, I think some modifications are in order."
Waving his hand across the table in his office, Sunny G. pages his cyberdragon.

"Open port 3-0DC and UBS port X-7. I'm going to activate your personality subroutines and access you vocal processor. Soon you'll be able to commincate with myself and other residences of the Sanctum. Then there is a few things for Alaina too. Oh no, my metallic friend. It's all good news."
Alaina pops through the omniportal, shopping bags in tow
I'm back boss! She calls out

"Welcome back, how was your little shopping expedition?" she hears him telepathicly. "I'm in my office tinkering on the new cyberdragon. Come upstairs, I have something for you."
Alaina comes up to the office
"Shopping was OK, but a huge street brawl broke out at the local jewelers, and this drow biotch kinda put a damper on my fun. So what's news?"

"Press the ball against your chest and allow it to merge within your body."
Once she is finished, he continues...
"I believe Allura, the Dalesman, and the others are due back anytime now. It will most likely have something to do with the robbery at the Bazaar. I'm not at liberty to say, but they will need definitely need your divine gifts very soon."
Sunny G goes back to tinkering with the cyverdragon and with a few minutes....
"..,Snap this into usb port 4T..."
"....That looks right...."
"Okay, activate A.I. logrhythms to 40% capacity. Now cyberdragon speak."

"Okay, activate A.I. logrhythms to 40% capacity. Now cyberdragon speak."
"I can't do that Sunny."
The metallic dragon tilts it's head to the side.
"Hm, guess I can. Thank you Sunny Godhead."
"I can't do that Sunny."
The metallic dragon tilts it's head to the side.
"Hm, guess I can. Thank you Sunny Godhead."
"Your welcome," he chuckles. "This is turning out better than I thought."
He shakes his head in disbelief. "Excellent. Now, I'm going to bring your A.I. logrhythms up to 80% capacity. Tell me of any sensations or even inconsistencies you are experiencing. I want to see your subroutines and file programs. To get ant bugs out of your systems. I have several questions I wish to ask of you in the future."
Picking up what appears to be a spare tool, he continues. "Say hello to Alaina, I think you're going to be working together very soon."

Picking up what appears to be a spare tool, he continues. "Say hello to Alaina, I think you're going to be working together very soon."
The dragon turns toward Alaina and nods.
"Hello Alaina. I am Cyber Dragonborn."
It turns back to Sunny G, and begins to run system scans. When the scans are complete, Cyber reports only one inconsistency
"It seems I have inadvertently gained acces to the Temple's security wards."
Several images flash on the screen that appears on it's chest, ranging from the day of his arrival to Sky talking to JH at the bar to the incident between Alain, Serafina, and Rio.
"I can delete the program if you wish it."

"No, it way prove valuable at a later date. Limit your access to the temple's security wards to observation and recording. Allow classified access only to myself, Alaina, and Bouncer."
"No, it way prove valuable at a later date. Limit your access to the temple's security wards to observation and recording. Allow classified access only to myself, Alaina, and Bouncer."
The image on it's chest screen changes to a mass of data streaming upward.
"Limiting access, granting specified clearance to entities: Sunny Godhead, Alaina, Bouncer... process complete."The screen goes blank and retreats back into the metallic dragon's chest.
"Is there anything else needed?"

"What do carry in the way of personal armaments? Are you capable of exo-planar sensory perception and mainstream spectral analysis? And you do have any alternate forms you can assume?"
The omniportal flares to life as Devlyn, Allura and Oroth enter the courtyard of the Sanctum of the Sun.
"It's nice to be back."
"Well, let's see who we can talk to about the situation in the Bazaar."
They start going through the proper channels to speak to Sunny G or one of his Heralds.
"Hey, long time no see. What brings you back to the Sanctum?"
"Hey, long time no see. What brings you back to the Sanctum?"
"Hi. We came to ask Sunny Godhead for some advice. Involving a drow, something about an ur-priest and a whole bunch of people trying to kill a little boy that we've taken under our protection. So, you know, the usual."

Bouncer rolls his eyes.
"Heh! You guys get all the fun. Boss is upstairs tinkering with his robo-dragon. I'll tell him you here."
Bouncer proceeds to an solar-activated intercom.
"Hey boss, you have visitors. Send them up. Okay. Take the gravity lift on the next right."
Oroth glances at Allura with a small grin on his face.
"I wonder if I should take the fast way down when we leave..."
Oroth glances at Allura with a small grin on his face.
"I wonder if I should take the fast way down when we leave..."
"Sure thing, kiddo. At least this time you won't give me a heart attack thinking you're going to go splat at the bottom," she said with a smile and a roll of her eyes.

"I wonder if I should take the fast way down when we leave..."
"Well there went all the fun of that idea."
They walked into a large room where Sunny G and the cyber dragon were.
"Thank you for seeing us, sir. We've got a bit of a situation, and we could really use some information."

Devlyn just nods. Another day, another disaster... :P
Cyber Dragonborn scans the trio quickly, and their pictures show on it's screen.
Identities confirmed. Names: Devlyn. Allura. Oroth.
Greetings, fleshy ones.
