Warnings: Robot is playing shooty game so violent imagery and mention of guns, I guess?

(The shellphone has been set down on a shelf or table or something out of the way and forgotten. They are not familiar with this form of technology, and are not currently aware that it is broadcasting.

The tiny residence on Elah is, well, a tiny residence on Elah. Legion has done nothing at this point to personalize the starter apartment they've been given, and the only sign that anyone is living there at all is that Legion is standing in it.

Considering that Legion is a six and a half foot tall alien robot, this is probably a pretty jarring sight. They're not really looking at or paying attention to the shellphone though. Instead, they're looking at their arm, which seems to be surrounded by a strange orange glow and projecting a holographic screen, and is that...?

Yeah, that's a videogame. Shooter, from the sounds of it. The alien robot is 100% playing the alien robot version of Call of Duty on their weird arm thing. They seem pretty into it too, with all the chittering and mechanical noises they're making.)

Subject: Answers. He seeks them.
Warnings: Sesshomaru being a grump.

{Silver hair flies in the wind and soft white fur is gently ruffled against a pale cheek. Sesshomaru is quite a striking presence wherever he goes, bearing the signs of his good breeding in the form of two crimson stripes on his cheeks and a purple crescent moon on his forehead. His ears taper into delicate points, too, and his eyes are the color of rich amber. When he speaks, he is accustomed to being listened to and obeyed.

Thus his first appearance on the network is dramatic, yet brief.}

Speak.

{His low voice brooks no argument and his expression is cold. He is difficult to read in the best of circumstances and his current predicament doesn't necessarily signify anything good.}

I am Sesshomaru, Lord of the Western Lands. What have you discovered about this world and the rifts?

[ At first, the Shellphone is RIGHT UP CLOSE TO HER FACE. After a few seconds, she pulls back, and makes a peace sign. Though she keeps the phone steady, she herself moves plenty, cheerful and popping! ]

Suh-weeeet! Super glad this place has the tech. Way too many worlds are stuck in the whole fantasy-medieval-ancient times shtick, and that gets old FAST. Not saying this place is perfect, the whole... ocean... vibe majorly sucks... but, gotta look on the bright side.

But that's way too long before I can say - hey! I'm Della Duck! Don't suppose any of you know my uncle Scrooge? Guess that'd make things too easy... but it's all good! Not my first rodeo! We defeat bad guys, get the magical treasure, have some meaningful journeys and discover the true treasure inside us all along, blah blah blah, home we go.

So, let's skip all the doom and gloom and get right to the learning, shall we? From the looks of things, I'm not the first visitor here, so drop that knowledge on me - what did you wish someone had told YOU on your first day here? What took you way too long to learn?

And, uh, let's see, what else... oh, let's play a game! Best way to make new friends! I got the perfect one too - Two Truths And A Lie! Tell me three things about yourself, one's a lie, and I gotta guess which. Play around! I'll go first!

I'm a mother of three!
I'm allergic to gold!
I'm an ace pilot with my own plane!

Okay, go!

Launch of The Enterprise

Subject: Launch of The Enterprise
Warnings: None

[ Another video by Emet-Selch, but this one is purposeful. The video shows a brand new ship in the dock of the Adamantine Forge. Unlike the first, this one has been built to accommodate its magitech engine from the very beginning. While it mostly resembles a sailing ship, it has elements of more advanced ship design to it: more metal joints and fixtures than usual towards the base where the engine sits, and a sail with the ability to drawn in latent aether and keep the ship powered.

On its side is its name painted boldly: THE ENTERPRISE.

There's a large turn-out for this launch. More than the test-run of its prototype. All the people who worked to build this thing in such a short time, the investor who funded the project, and whoever else decided to sticky-beak when they saw the commotion - it would be difficult for the shellphone to capture if it wasn't somehow floating above the crowd.

And it IS certainly floating on its own: because Emet-Selch is at the rear of the ship to officially send it off into the open sea. For once, the elder mage actually looks every inch a dignitary as he speaks into a hovering, magical orb which magnifies the volume of his voice to those listening. ]

Thank you all for coming together to celebrate the launch of The Enterprise. 'Twas truly a magnificent effort from all of our artisans and engineers over the past few moons. Today marks what I hope will be a significant leap forward in the field of magitech development and research. I won't bore you with some grandiose speech about dreams or aspirations - I shall simply say that anything is possible when like-minded individuals work together. I hope those of you who choose to remain affiliated with the Forge - and even those of you who do not - keep that ethos in your hearts.

[ With that, he waves the orb away. Because this ship can sail under its own power, what better way to demonstrate its prowess than to eschew the traditional bottle shattering and let it start on its own? Emet-Selch raises a finger and shoots magical sparks into the air, which is the signal for the captain and his crew to set sail.

There are cheers as the magitech engine quietly roars into life. The ship slowly eases out of the dock into the open ocean, crew members waving to those left on dry land. For those physically present, The Enterprise will sail around Eltrut before making its way to Atnam, where its new home will be with RAY, the free traders.

The video, however, ends once the ship is out of sight. ]
