[RANGER] Meet the new Goo, not quite the same as the old Goo - Embassies

#1 Added by Bitttymacod 6 years ago Multilingual

The following letter appears in the usual places, the walls of stables, lamp posts and the like.

To Wuaoi Yai-Zhio, Orphie Dradius, Melga Folgore, and to all others to whom these letters come, greetings.

I woke from a nap that I took near Staring Stronghold in Void to find myself surrounded by Goo clouds where there had been none when I laid down. I looked around and compared what I saw to what I had seen in the last Goo incursion.

The clouds were nearly motionless, unlike the roaming clouds the first time, but as I investigated further I noticed an itching and burning sensation that continued as long as I was in the cloud and faded as soon as I left the cloud. It did not feel as if it were endangering my health, but with Goo you can never be too careful.

I then proceeded, as I had before, to investigate the boundaries of the Goo incursion. What I found was that the depth of the incursion of the Goo was greater even than in the previous case, but that I could feel the damage only when I was actually in a cloud, unlike the usual Goo damage which extends over a wide area whether clouds are present or not.

I investigated the distribution of the clouds and found a significant difference from the previous incursion. The extent of the new clouds was greatest on the northern and western edges of the Void and least on the southern and eastern edges. The southeast edge of the Paramount Stock plateau was free of the clouds, but the northern edge of the Mull of Despond was covered almost to the cliffs (and in one case the Goo lingered atop a cliff).

The amber deposits of Paramount Stock seem to be unaffected, but the tunnel into the Stock suffers from the Goo.

As of the current date, Pluvia 23, 4AC, 2599 the damage of the Goo clouds can be ignored by any healthy homin, despite the discomfort, but care should be taken by any homin venturing into the Void, for Goo can change at any time.

I note that the Theocracy and the Matis botanist Cuirinia are aware of the problem, but they have apparently not studied the extent of the problem in depth.

Kyriann, sitting at FH's bar, tries to catch her breath between two coughing fits.
- The psykoplas barrier didn't last long....
But there was something else that worried Kyriann most.
- I'm gonna ask Jyrvie, she's a ranger and a tryker. Maybe she'll recognize him.

Ny-Jyrvie
I'm sending you this izam as an emergency because I don't know what to do. Earlier, I was in Void, when I heard screaming. Stupidly, I must say, I rushed into the goo clouds and there, in the goo clouds, I saw a blond tryker running in the goo. Dumbfounded, I stopped because I couldn't see anything anymore as the goo cloud was so thick and I heard clearly what he was shouting:
- GOO!!! Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!
Is it a madman, Ny-Jyrvie or that homin, whom I hardly dare to call a tryker, has anything to do with the reappearance of the goo?
I'm waiting for your advice.
Seelagan ny-Jyrvie!

Kyriann pets the little izam.
- Fly fast and make no mistake!

Bittty is transferring some notes to his ledger, preparing for a report to NTCS.

5 Nivia 4AC 2599
Did some research with Gidget and Widget in the Void. Only had to suffer full coma three times. Not bad.
Observed:
Fifty meter aggro range for both plants (cratcha and psykopla) and beasts (gubani and najabs).
Plants leave combat at 70 meters. Beasts chase for at least 300m, possibly more. (Hard to tell when running like mad.)
Beasts aggro in groups of 4 or 5, similar to the goo-ified igaras many years ago.
Plants are acting as if they are social on a much greater distance than usual. Is the Goo making them grow a wider root system?
Beasts seem to be hitting harder than usual, and also are much stronger when attempting to kill them.
Still have not observed anything that would indicate why the plants are springing up. Beasts can be explained by summoning from the Goo contaminated psykoplas.

Journal Entry:1 Gerrminally, 1 AC, 2600

While harvesting in Void saw a Matis and a Tryker run by in the Goo yelling Goo!!Yeaaaaaah! . I followed as fast as I was able, and when they briefly left the Goo, I was able to see that they wore the Badge of the Goo Heads, the same tribe that was responsible for the Goo-contaminated jugula. Could they be responsible for the goo-contaminated psykoplas and cratchas?

Hmmm, a Marauder event on Sunday near Masters of the Goo camp. I bet they have something to do with it! Maybe Akila Ash storm and her cronies are experimenting on goo mobs like that kipesta. Maybe other things too I bet!
(OOC, sadly, i will be on a road trip that day and cannot attend, please tell me what happens!)

I have been touched by Goo. You can read my background story. :) (Sorry, I do not know how to do a link to a forum post. All I can say it is under Roleplay, post #298 "Of Goo and Weapons." Yes, I am an evil Matis with an agenda).
