[Annabeth's face pops up, curls a mess as usual, but considering the turtle developments, she doesn't look nearly as cross as usual?? There's the sounds of water splashing around somewhere in the suite, but she doesn't appear to care.]
It goes without saying that the turtle's health started improving at last. [Because powers! And it's swimming again!] I know various numbers of us were tasked by Evandau into investigations, and I don't know how all the other situations turned out, but Doctor Soranik Natu, Rogue, Percy Jackson, and myself found something probably worth sharing.
We were assigned with investigating a string of robberies initially, but really, the important part is we discovered a series of incomplete archways in several different homes and attempted to recreate one in its entirety.
The whole "world between Life, Death, and Dreaming" thing everyone gets on arrival? Start taking it literally, if you weren't before. Keeliai as we live in it here is the Life plane. The archway opened up a portal of a kind, and said portal took us to the Death plane.
[A blob of water floats across the screen, blurring Annabeth's face, but it's still possible to see her turn around in a huff, and from somewhere off screen there's an "Oops, sorry!" before the water flies off. She continues unperturbed.]
It was basically a version of Keeliai gone awry and ruined, everything rotting away, and we found markings in the form of some kind of blood magic, directly over where the Emperor's Palace is in this plane. Scans proved it to be kedan blood in origin, some of it fresh, and the pattern was being drawn by - you know, what we're here to fight, in a magical attempt to kill Tu Vishan. We were able to wipe the incomplete blood slate clean and stop this part of his illness before leaving the plane. [By 'we' she mostly means Ocean Jesus did A Water Thing.]
Unfortunately, or fortunately, the way in seems to be gone. The archways all disappeared once we got back, as did that particular methodology in creating them. [Melted pins ahh. A pause.] The Death plane is probably where our infamous threat is hiding. Its domain, so to speak.
Tu Vishan's health is picking up, but this - this situation here, with this thing we're up against? It's definitely not over.

Sorry. [Faint wince.] Guess that's not really something for polite conversation.

[Rhetorical questions. Scott gives himself another half-second to process all of it before letting himself sigh and rubbing at the side of his nose.
So much for this place being all fun and games.]
Thanks for the answers though. I'm sure you're tired of explaining things again and again.

Sometimes it gets annoying, but it's always better to share information like this, and I'm in a position to do so; I've been here almost a year.

Still, he doesn't comment on it, electing to focus instead on the breadth of information she's managed to gather over the course of that year.]
You ever thought about writing all of it down and making some sort of, I dunno, master record book?

And there's no way to record anything on these consoles and--save them for later use?
