For those who do not know, several Outsiders have vanished into rifts. The first was Ereshkigal, during the kaiju battle in Egypt. As far as I know, no contact has been established.

Since then, three other Outsiders have also vanished: Ratio, Godzilla, Tsurumaru. I have been investigating but coming up mostly short.

There were no witnesses for Ratio's disappearance, but Nyuu and Hayakawa have confirmed that a rift opened and took both Godzilla and Tsurumaru. Only they were taken, despite not being alone at the time.

I may have a clue as to who is next.

I do not wish to cause panic or alarm, and I am not sure what can be done to prevent anyone else from being taken. I will bring these findings to LILITH as well.

During the mission in Egypt, we were inserted into the dreams and memories of other Outsiders. I saw one of Ereshkigal's. In this memory, she was speaking with several other Outsiders. Seven to be exact. Among them were Ratio, Godzilla, and Tsurumaru.

The other four were Yzak, Hiyori, Kabru, and Silco.

Kabru is already gone, though his name is gone from the network, a glitch. Those taken by the rifts are still listed, but unable to be contacted.

I would encourage those others in then memory to not be alone until this is solved.

If you have any other information you would like to document in this post, please do. We need to share what we can in order to get to the bottom of this. I pray you all stay safe.

A memory... It does sound like it fits the pattern so far.

But I've been thinking...

Godzilla got the killing blow on the Imuji not long ago, right? And both Ereshkigal and Dr. Ratio were given commendations recently, too. Did Tsurumaru deal a major blow to one of the kaiju as well?

I can imagine. I'm not even sure I'd be happy if I was wrong. At least if it's people who managed to hit the enemy hard before, they've got a way of keeping themselves safe over there.

For the most part, anyway.

Not even on the earlier ones, huh? Hm. And Tsurumaru is one of the confirmed...

You can get it that way too? That explains a few things I've been wondering about...

[They're not sure they understand the bit about the weapon though. Does he really have that many augmentations? (Or whatever you'd call his world's version of them. Or maybe he got them here?)]

Still enough of a possibility to keep on the board, then.

That makes two potential patterns, a bunch of rifts, and an increasing rate of disappearances. I don't know what all this means just yet, but it definitely feels like some kind of bad omen.


[They won't bring up Brasov. It seems like a bad idea when they've only heard about it second hand.]

Yeah, I don't doubt it. Think they'll be around here like the others have? Or if the people you listed leave...

Do you think they might not be rifts at all?

Interesting.

It's just a theory right now! For all I know, it could just be one big coincidence.

But... it still might be a good idea to keep near others just in case?

Maybe. No point in jumping at shadows either.

It's not like someone's going around, just pushing people into manholes, no matter what Silco says. Those rifts pop up without warning.

If it happens, it happens.

That's true... I don't know if I'm okay with leaving it at that though. Isn't it still a good idea to take some precautions?

If I think they're worth the time, sure.

[Oh boy. One of these situations]

Okay, so... What precautions do you think would be worth the time?

A barrier, but I've already got one up as it is and I ain't wasting good forge time modifying it. Either it works or it doesn't.

What kind of barrier? Just in case things fall through, it might be nice to know what does and doesn't work.

You can come see for yourself. It's on the smithy, here in Kyoto.

Don't ask me to replicate it, I can't without uprooting my whole workshop.

Sure, I'll take a look. Can't say I'll understand what I'm seeing, but gathering information's about all I can do right now, so I might as well keep doing it.

Let me rephrase, then. If something happens to me, there's a fat chance of it being prevented by regular measures, and I won't waste my time fussing over the possibilities when I can better spend it working. You just focus on finding the cause, and I'll make sure you have something to kill it with.

[ He's been at the forge for days, but if things are truly coming to a head with a kaiju like Yato is suggesting, the more blades on hand, the better. There's also a point where being zen about things happening around him and being fatalistic and being a superghost with an overinflated sense of security butt heads too. ]
