[ he rests his arms against the bank, staying mostly submerged. ]
Oh, you visited him again?
[ he thinks viktor is capable of dealing with callisto, but he still looks a little worried. because knives is insane. ]
He did seem intent on getting it. Is it doing something to the... um, CEM waves? [ since those have to do with the cyoa rifts? he's doing his best here but he does not science. ]
I did on Monday before we were locked in the Applebees, yes.
[Sidon has much reason to worry because, yes, Knives is hecking insane. But luckily, Viktor knows how to talk to Knives for the most part, like he knew how to talk to Lucien, to even Baiken.]
He said it went to the other officers for testing. They all... were going on the inclination the notes about the CEM waves would help, so I think they were testing it with those, yes. He had wondered if the rifts were important.
I imagine that is what they had been testing. [He frowns gently.] The tesseract... reminds me of the Core, Sidon. It has the possibility to link to another dimension. It's incredibly dangerous in the wrong hands.
I asked him to show me what it does, and... We can't let him use it on Vash.
[ he's of two minds, sometimes: he has absolute faith in viktor and his decisions, but also has to sit and fret over his recklessness. in this case... it doesn't sound like he got stabbed to death. so he just frowns and listens to his report instead. ]
So they're hoping they can use it to bring us back, somehow...
[ that probably makes it good news that the rifts are showing up, affecting them, but it's unsettling. ]
I think the rest of the staff can be trusted, but I do not know that they can keep it away from Callisto. Not when he was the only one standing, last Sunday. What did you see?
He curls his hands together a bit in his lap, worrying his fingers together to have something to do without them sitting idle.]
Vash. He was... turning into... something--a plant. Like bark was covering him all over. Like what's in the new room this week, the one with all the roots. There were roots everywhere. He was seeing... something else inside. Almost like the places we keep getting pulled to, things that aren't real.
he reaches, taking viktor's non-rust hand with his own non-rust hand, giving it a firm squeeze. ]
I know we've spoken about using Callisto's... interest in Vash to our advantage. Working together, in a way. But that doesn't mean we have to let him do as he pleases.
[ partly because it sounds fucking dangerous. but also, vash is one of their own. ]
If they're connected to the Heart that we've seen, then we need to be even more careful with what we tell the living.
[It happens. Also, I'm sorry, but both hands are rusty. :') So Sidon either gets the searing pain of a thousand suns for a split second before it's gone, or either this bone-freezing and numb Eldritch gripping.]
I know... The Hex Core doesn't function, but I've been wondering... if it could communicate with the tesseract if it was, or perhaps... the dimension the tesseract is connected to. Though... if you and Vash did go to that side on Monday, then...
[ fuck you!!!! he takes the eldritch one, that's actually very bearable for the sake of handholding. he's a tactile person, he's not making it through this week. ]
It sounds like they were already making progress on the revival process before.
[ speaking of massive power sources though, he has a pretty blue stone on his glove now. yay. ]
Maybe we could ask Shoma how progress is going before doing anything... reckless.

Good morning, Viktor! [ wave wave ] What have you figured out?
no subject
Good morning. Sorry for interrupting.
[His morning swim.]
They are using testing the tesseract. The thing from the auction. Callisto said it was active...

He was being opened. Like a portal.

Idly, curiously, he rubs his hand over it while doing Sidon's hand holding. Crystal....]
I know.
[Thoughtful.]
We should get confirmation, yes. We should be on similar pages if not the same page--them and us.
