So that's why I'm taking the opportunity to call this no-good buggie-bug out!!!
BB-chan Kouhai Special: Potato Peeler Slice,
until I get to the truth and Aldrich-san tells me where the Casino speakers' recording room is...!"
I dont care if youre wrinkled old ass speaks for the california raisins
that shits just plain bad communication man
check yourself
Aldrich taps the cane, unimpressed with this line of inquiry, and a force of energy tips "Reginald" over. BB's attack is misdirected, as she dives to save her dance partner on the floor.
They're both spinning around together.
A low rumble shakes the conduit when Leo provides his answer, then, Aldrich steps back as the seal begins to fade.
A result is imminent.
My question is, what do you know about how they work? Why do your people find them dangerous? And last, but not least... Are you aware of who his business partner could be?
I suppose I'll search on my own as well. Perhaps I can find some records in the Conference Room, an exhibit in the Display Room, or perhaps some educational material on the subject in the Lecture Hall? And while I'm at it, I'll-
You examine the
Conference Room, pulling up specifically records relating to Otto and his presentations in past. You recall him mentioning something about his technology being rejected before at the meeting.
Indeed, though his standard cube-shaped batteries have featured at the event every year, you note there were bids he submitted this year, five, nine, and even fifteen years ago relating to "Mnemonic"-related prototypes. While some of his prototyped devices were deemed too chaotic to allow present at the event by AEAEA, the previous two bids were approved. This year's related to the changed conference theme about "Dreaming For A Better Future". All of them, however, were vetoed by the Noktmathi delegation of Somatacists.
A last minute meeting occurred a few weeks prior to today, in which a delegate named "Atlas" insisted the theme was too dangerous. Compromises were reached by swapping Cassia's event for CYMK's to remain "safer", the result being that Otto could no longer showcase his technology with Display B in the Exhibition Hall, and had to provide standard batteries for the "travel" theme instead. It was too late to swap the other artifacts in the exhibit, some of which had approval from the Findelo main island to exhibit.
Disclosures from Otto indicate this is the most refined version of his prototype yet, a battery that creates a controlled, isolated "pocket" in the Astral Plane, for direct accession of a memory stored within. He claims rooting the power to a memory similar to a Sticker, it remains sealed off, and protected from the rest of the plane.

It seems Moh might be about to speak, but he lets you process the information you've found already.
You examine the
AEAEA Showroom. Otto's display remains modest, and Storm's display is crafted with love. You note Arcane Solutions' most industrial products are related to transportation and agricultural machinery, including engines, batteries, and heavy-duty generators for powering a variety of devices using arcane energy. The most prominent of which are those used in airships previously produced by Solomon. They must have had a direct partnership. Nothing related to his prototype technology is here, unfortunately.
You check the
Lecture Hall. It remains set up for Valerie's presentation, with a sleeping plant and an aquatic species shown. Her billboard has been moved from the Showroom to here. Her cages are stacked, with some fuzzies bouncing worriedly in their cages, spreading... fluff, of some kind. You examine the large, open cage out of curiosity. It curiously has no fluff, and the complex lock mechanism from the exterior remains as Valerie described: as if it had never been sealed.
Examining the projector set-up, you note there is another red USB stick plugged into the device. It matches the one in Otto's laptop in design.
