Radio;
Good evening, everyone. I understand that recent events and revelations have been... shocking, to say the least. I would hope that all of us will reserve any judgment until we have heard the whole story, including Doctor Milyn's side. And that is all I will say on that.
There is another matter that I need to bring to your attention, and one that is quite pressing.
We have been grounded a few weeks. As most of you are aware, the purpose of landing Tu Vishan here was to afford us more time in finding a way to awaken him. I believe a means may be found by utilizing the power of the Xunutane. However, before I go to the heads of the families and the Dexedi with this request, I had hoped to gain both information to see if it is a viable means, and also input and suggestions from other foreigners.
Now something most intriguing occurred while I was making my inquiries- my path crossed with a number of metalworkers who were researching the crystals that caused last month's truth compulsion. I agreed to work alongside them in a number of experiments - one of which involved setting active crystals alongside those that gave no readings. There was a brief reaction in which the "dead" stones gave off a bit of light and I...
[He hesitates here because it's not so much that it sounds absurd, but more he simply doesn't have the words to describe it.]
...I saw many things, all at once. The interiors of caves and homes. It was as though I had hundreds of eyes all in different places.
[To tell the truth, he was rather disoriented after the whole ordeal and needed to go sit down and have a headache.]
Needless to say, the other metalworkers did not share in this vision. I believe it came about due to my soul gem - a hypothesis the metalworkers agreed to be possible, though I would like to repeat the experiment with other foreigners to verify. They have kindly permitted me a secure facility as well as aid in writing up questions.
As I'm sure you've gathered, we would require volunteers for this. I am seeking those willing to sit through the same experiment as myself. I am also looking for people with psychic or magical capabilities for getting a read on things.
I will ask that no volunteers be under the age of eighteen for these experiments as I cannot guarantee there is no risk involved.
If you would prefer more discretion than speaking here, you can contact me privately on this frequency.
I thank you, and bid you all a good evening.

If I may, what would your powers entail in that regard?
[There's a little click as though from a pen, and a rustle of paper. Someone's taking notes.]
Private
I'd prefer if you didn't disclose this information to anyone...
Private
I understand. Nothing you do not wish known will be shared. And if you would feel more comfortable speaking face-to-face, I am more than happy to accommodate.

Private to Action
[She's a bit taken aback, she hadn't realized he was coming straight from the experiment. When he arrives, she is waiting in the lobby.]
Klaus?
Action!
Miss Valdis.
[He greets her with a bow.]
Would you join me for a cup of tea?
Action!
That would be lovely.
Re: Action!
Would you prefer a dark tea, green tea, or herbal?
Re: Action!
[She follows him into the kitchen, checks to make sure no on else is around and then leans against the counter as he preps a pot.]
Re: Action!
[He didn't much bother with small-talk - he didn't have the energy to think of any and he doubted Valdis would appreciate beating around the bush.]
I believe it's safe to speak here in relative privacy. I won't ask you to go into excruciating detail, but I'd appreciate an overview of what you meant earlier.
Re: Action!
My magic is strongly connected to souls. I can see them and...they tell me things, sort of. I can even walk on the spirit plane and interact with the essence of a soul, the memories and emotions. It can do other things...but those are the helpful abilities.
Re: Action!
[He looks quite astonished.]
I can understand why you would not want strangers to know about this. I assure you, they will not hear it from me.
Re: Action!
Thank you, Klaus...I don't want to frighten our allies.
Re: Action!
I understand the feeling. The Kedan and our fellow foreigners have been extremely gracious, all things considered.
And I thank you, for trusting me with this information.
Re: Action!
Action!
I do not think that is something you would say lightly. I hope I live up to your standards.
[As soon as the kettle began to boil, he took it off the burner and let it sit for a moment before pouring it into the pot.]
Re: Action!
[She sighs softly]
It's been quite the learning curve, coming here.
Re: Action!
[He let the tea steep for a time and then poured some into their cups.]
Do you miss your home...?
Re: Action!
It's hard to miss a place where your existence is considered to be a mistake. Especially when you are a mistake that must be destroyed.
Action!
[Klaus said it with such earnestness, as if it were the most matter-of-fact statement.]
[He coughed, realizing Valdis probably didn't need him to tell her that.]
In any case, I am glad that you're here then. Do you take lemon or honey in your tea, or do you prefer it plain?
Re: Action!
[He barely knew her, but it was still nice to hear.]
Plain.
Re: Action!
I know you said before you were looking into the cultists. I take it your investigations are what revealed Milyn's involvement?
Re: Action!
Yes.
[Said quietly, all confidence gone as she swirled the tea around the cup as opposed to drinking it]
