Ness looked over toward the lab assistant and nodded. Well... I could try to learn a little bit more... but I should really try to find that key. "I'm here to learn a little more about how you guys are developing energy. It might help with something I'm working on."
OoC: And I'm going to sleep soon.
@Nail: Is a time bubble cool?

Rita frowned a little, slightly jealous of Jessica's teleportation powers. She would have declined Jessica's offer and would have opted to do it herself, but discretion was key here. "Yea sure, help me up." said Rita as she began climbing towards Jessica.
Seeing Rita start climbing up, Jessica quickly said, "Stay right there. This'll only take a second." She stepped away from the edge and walked back to the most stable part of the roof she remembered. She took in a deep breath, closed her eyes, and pictured Rita's position in her head. Rita would glow with a dull green light for a moment before finding herself where Jessica was standing, with Jessica standing where she previously was. If Rita hadn't stopped climbing on Jessica's word, she'd fall over upon being teleported for not having stable footing, though the experience would otherwise not be jarring as she would be used to teleportation due to Jessica's circles by now. A moment after teleporting Rita, Jessica would teleport herself up next to her.
Rita would find that she could climb up using the scaffolding surrounding the abbey. On the interior of the abbey, there was more scaffolding surrounding the hole, along side temporary support pillars.

Having made his way towards a window, Loki pulled himself up and tried to push the window open. Finding that it was locked by a latch, and unable to reach for his scepter without losing his balance, Loki manifested one of his daggers and slid this between the window, moving it up, he pushed the latch up with it. With the window opened, Loki hopped through, closing the window behind him. Now then. Where to find the Lieutenant.

"Well, that would depend on what the energy source is ultimately used for. You'll need to be a little more speciffic." the lab assistant answered Ness, though he didn't sound condescending about it.

Marcus would find little noteworthy things in the sector of the lab he was in. Only finding junior scientists looking over notes together. There were test tubes, alluminium trays and some caged lab mice on the right of the room, but here too, there wasn't much to see. On the opposite side of the room, there was a door with a cardreader next to it.
OoC @Dot: Sure thing.

Marcus approached the junior scientists. "I was told this place was where I drop materials off for examination?"
It was difficult to look inside the abbey, as there were few lights in within the main chamber. Rita could possibly see a series of stone coffins at the abbey from where she stood, however. Being able to see well in low light conditions, Jessica could defifnitely see the rows of coffins.
[hr]
The junior scientist that Marcus approached nodded. "That's correct. You can leave the materials on one of the trays over there. It'll be picked up shortly." he answered, pointing over to the right of the room.

"Got it." Jessica replied to Rita, giving her an approving nod. She teleported down into the abbey near where she noticed the coffins. After taking a moment to let her eyes fully adjust now that she was engulfed in the interiors lighting conditions, she started to examine the coffins. She looked them over for inscriptions or writing of any sort on them.
Marcus placed the skull on the tray, fiddling with it as he placed it. Putting it down, he left the room and the city.
Jessica would find that each coffin had a name engraved on a golden plaque at the base of the footend. The imagine of the person who was laid inside the coffins was also carved out of the lids. Garzic's coffin was the eight from the right.

Having searched the rooms with where he had last met Estella with little luck, Loki made his way to the palace's medical wing, where he not only didn't find Estella, but that Ardimas was no longer there either. This is inconvinient... Making his way out of the wing, Loki looked around for a lone palace guard. Finding one after a while of searching, he mind controled the guard, then revealed himself to him. "Say nothing. Lead me to the Lieutenant." he curtly commanded. The guard nodded and lead Loki to what functioned as Estella's room. "You can go now." the Loki said to the soldier before going through the door.
[hr]
Rather then that a senior scientist came to retrieve the skull, a GRUNT came, picked up the tray, and carried it outside the lab. He took it to the end of the pier and placed the skull within a stasis field.
Richard watched with binoculars from his office. Now to wait to see what happens... When it was set, he went back to go sit as his desk and and made a phone call.
"Thank you for lending one of the stasis projectors on such short notice, professor Soto."
"Don't make a habbit out of it... And while you're at it, don't let every man and his dog enter my facility without at least some propper background checks."
"Some times, risks have to be taken. Good bye, professor."
Without saying anything further, Soto hung up.
Richard shrugged and hung up also. I wonder what happened to that Roy person... I haven't been able to reach him.

Having located the late most recent King's coffin, Jessica took a few moments to memorize its position. After committing the method to telling Garzic's coffin from the others to memory, Jessica walked out into the area of the abbey right underneath the hole in the roof so that Rita could see her more easily. "Found it!" She called through the hole and up to Rita on the roof while also pointing over at Garzic's coffin.

Jessica nodded and teleported back up to the rooftop with Rita. She took out some more chalk and started drawing a large circle on the roof. By this point the chalk stick she was using seemed to be near its usable limit. "So what exactly is the plan here?" She asked Rita, figuring she must have had some sort of idea going on in her head since she was telling Jessica what to do.
"Easy, I use my magic to lift the coffin up here and into the teleporter, then I hop through while you erase the chalk, and then follow me back later." said Rita as she began to charge her magic.
OoC: Mind if we time bubble this? I really need to get to bed

"You have spells to mimic telekinesis? And you're sure you can lift something that heavy? That's pretty impressive." Jessica finished drawing her chalk circle, then stood back a decent ways from it. "Alright. I'm thinking since we're on the roof, my portal will start drawing attention once it goes live. I'll activate it once you've got that coffin moving."
@Furioso: Sure thing.
@Furioso: Sure thing.
"It's not really mimicking telekinesis, but I have earth magic and that coffin is made of rock. I can lift things heavier than that in my sleep." said Rita as she activated her spell, causing the coffin to lift off of the ground and fly up towards her.
OoC: And bed time, time bubble awaaaay
OoC: And bed time, time bubble awaaaay
When Rita began lifting the coffin out of the ground, the sound it produced alerted the workmen in the side chambers.
"Did you hear something?"

When Loki entered Estella quarters, she turned around and draw her sword with great speeds. "Show yourself!" she commanded, not knowing it was Loki.
Stepping further into the room, Loki made himself visible to her. "It is I. Stand down."
Estella sighed and sheathed her sword, sitting down again. "You startled me, sir..."
Getting straight to the point, Loki said, "First off, I will be neading blueprints of the wing the royals are on. Can you procure this for me?"
Estella shook her head. "No sir. These were destroyed when the construction of the palace was completed. If one still exsists, I don't know about it. However, I can draw you a rough scetch of what the wing looks like. It won't be very detailed, but it might be enough."
"I supose it will have to do... Now, for a second point. Where is the would-be General? He is not in the medical wing."
Estella blew another defeated sigh as she looked down. "He's been discharged, sir. Right now, he would be in his quarters. Sir... I must ask? Can't you simply show him what you've shown me?"
"Out of the question. This would not go unnoticed, and would do more harm then good. Where can I find his quarters?"
"Across the hall, sir. If... If you must do this, at least make it quick..."
"That I shall." If only because I cannot have him survive a second time. "Get working on drawing the map." Having commanded that, Loki left Estella's quarters, and began making his way to Ardimas'.
When infront of the door, Loki pressed his ear against it to listen for movement. Hearing none, Loki carefully opened the door, only opening to such a extend where he could look inside the room. Warping inside, he looked around for Ardimas, finding him sleeping his his bed. There will be none to save you this time. Walking over to Ardimas' bedside, Loki placed his left hand over Ardimas' mouth, and plunged the blade of the scepter into his heart shortly after. Loki watched the life leave Ardimas' eyes, then wiped the blood off the blade on the sheets. Having done what he came to do, Loki left the quarters, closed the door behind him, and returned to Estella's chambers. There, he waited for her to finish drawing the map.
