Yasei politely nods in recognition of everything that Emma says, when describing her history, but prefers to stand in the background.  Something is fishy about Emma, but she can't quite put her finger on it.

Perception: 24

* What is with her hair?

* Why is she so humanoid in appearance, if she comes from a different world that as more ancient than hers?

* Is she ... dangerous? 

Jill was about to say something for a second, but she stopped, deciding that it would be easier to show how her and Corrin were sisters than to explain it. 

"We would appreciate your help very much, Emma."

"Of course!" Emma smiled, looking over herself and her new clothes. "An excellent choice of outerwear, I must admit. But as far as the task at hand - it has been far too long since I have been productive. Being inert in a cave is not my favorite thing to do. While I no longer have communication with my creators, the least I can do is be useful until I can find a way back home. Shall we proceed?"

"Yes, let us get going." Jill said, feeling refreshed and ready to go now that they had made a new friend.

After a bit, Yasei walks into the commons area of the Belle, yawning and stretching away the long rest she just awoke from.  Feeling refreshed, she agrees with Jill...."Agreed, Jill-san.  Shall we continue on to destroy the next eyeball?"

The Belle has a skiff ready to go, unless you want to sail the Belle into the asteroid this time.

"I believe that we should take the skiff. I do not believe that the next rooms will be any easier to fly the Belle through.,

"Fascinating." Emma said, looking at the Spelljamming engines. "I can see evidence of Acheronian design. Very impressive."

Misha puffed her chest slightly in pride. "Yes! You recognize eet? Thees ship was outfeeted with them many years ago. I ah, I was not aboard thees ship for most of that time, however..."

"No, i'm sure." Emma said, "You had other concerns to take care of, of course. How goes the war?"

Misha startled at the synthetic for a moment. "How..? Ah.. Not..well. Actually." she managed to say.

Emma nodded sympathetically. "I understand. The nature of your war and it's current status is not too uncommon knowledge among the Primary Planes of this reality. My creators took a great interest in this reality - I have a limited amount of storage regarding it, but not too much." she smiled. 

Misha turned and looked at the Spelljamming engine, and her smile faded. Emma tilted her head, observing Misha, realizing she might have hit a sensitive subject. She quickly looked back and forth with her eyes from the engine to the Acheronian, and cleared her throat. "Mi Sha, could you tell me about this? I have rarely seen up this up close. How does it work?"

Misha turned back to Emma and brightened again. As Misha explained in her own way, Emma already knew.

ROOM SIX: EMPTIER THAN EMPTY

For a moment, as the skiff enters the next cube, you think you've sailed out into space again. But this is another colossal cubic room, each square as big as the countryside surrounding a large city. But there are no cities here and no countryside. All you see are blank, black walls. 

In the center of the room floats a crystal like the ones you've seen in other rooms. It's light shines very brightly, bright enough to pick out the borders where one black wall meets another.

Looking back, you see the monolithic tunnel entrance you emerged from. This wall is also dead black. The outside of the tunnel looks shinier than usual.

You see nothing else in this room. Emma looks around. "Isn't it amazing how enormous this place is?"

Emma turned to the group. "Oh! Of course. When the Sazaur constructed the Hive, they build this room first. Then, after depositing the Queen's Eye here, they enchanted the walls with a disintegration field. Thereafter, the Sazaur disposed of the rubble and waste material of construction by throwing it into this room. Not only did the disintegration process tidy up the workplace, it augmented the room's sympathetic magic and strengthened the eyes power. We should be very careful to not touch the walls, or let the eye's beam hit the ship." Finally, she added. "Or us, for that matter." she smiled quaintly.

Misha made a face of complete acknowledgement, as if she just heard very good advice. She rose her shield and scanned the cube, looking for anything dangerous.

But there was nothing in the room. Yet.

Emma's innocent question finally solved the mystery for Jill. So that is what has been bothering her. Acheron is losing the war. She feels sad for her friend, but remembers that they all have a mission to complete and sets her feelings to the side for a moment. "It is amazing Emma, but I would be more in awe of it if it did not contain so many things trying to kill us. Like disintegration."

"I completely concur." Emma said. "While my chassis could easily withstand such an effect, I have the feeling your particular flesh could not. Not to say that I am boasting about better construction, no, not the case, but caution is greatly advised. It would be a shame to lose new friends."

"You cannot be disintegrated? How nice. Perhaps we should all have chassis bodies."

Sana gives Emma an approving smile at how the robot is fitting in so well with the team, sensing when to distract and when to provide information. "Well, let's see if we can make it through a room without losing the skiff, then," the changeling says wryly. "And anyone with range, I'd recommend being ready to use it. Those of us without are going to have to have some really good timing."

“Can I be turned into a robot too?” Corrin asks with a tilt of her head. “That’d be sweet! But, yes! Aye, aye, captain!” The tiefling gives the changeling a salute and readies her bow as requested.

"Anything is possible with enough time." Emma says to Corrin positively. "In fact, i'll have you know that m-" she then stopped mid sentence, as if she detecting something wrong.

A massive eyeball, orbiting the star crystal in the middle of the room, rounded it's curve and rapidly levitated towards the skiff. It's eye stalk wiggled behind it. 

"Look!" Misha yelled out. "Here eet comes!"

It was approaching fast. We had one chance to attack it from range before something terrible happened.

Corrin shoots because she’s a BAMF!

Attack: 20 Damage: 10

Jill pulls out her crossbow and fires two shots.

Attack: 16 Damage: 3

Attack: 9 Damage: 11

Emma made an arm pump at Corrin's shot. A hit! Jill's first bolt connected as well.

Misha swung her hammer at the eye and a radiant ball of red light rocketed towards it.

Guilding Bolt Attack: 9 Damage: 11

"Oh my, it appears that you m-"

"I know.." Misha growled, annoyed with her aim, lowering her hammer.

With lightning speed, Yasei twirled her bow off of her back, flipped it around front, nocked an arrow, and flung it at the approaching eyeball ... and then proceeded to repeat the process quickly with a follow-up shot.

Attack #1: 18 Damage: 5

Attack #2: 21 Damage: 3
