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.

[OOC: Raidou's theory on this player plot might be shot very quickly, but he doesn't know that. Go wild with the speculation in the meanwhile!]

Too late.

Modus operandi for you guys.

[the_fourteenth]

["You guys"??]

What happened?

[powderkegs]

What do you think?

He's gone. Vanished. Poof!

When's the parade?

[the_fourteenth]

[There's a pause. He's about to ask who, but with that final comment, he gets the idea. He wants confirmation, though.]

Who?

I can assure you that any personal feelings for the particular Outsiders involved are irrelevant to me. All equally deserve to be returned home safely.

[powderkegs]

[ liars. they're all liars. ]

Take a wiiiiild guess.

Hey, if you disappeared, would anyone notice?

[the_fourteenth]

I figured, but I wanted to be sure.

I would hope so.

You noticed, right? How long ago did he disappear?

[stonehearts]

So she didn't just stop at taking people she likes, huh? Kinda pathetic for a so-called 'goddess' if you ask me, that she can't find enough people who like her

[powderkegs]

[ he thinks it's ereshkigal huh? jinx isn't sold. ]

You think it's her?

[stonehearts]

Who else would it be? She vanished first, and Ratio had some sort of connection with her and he went next, and now with everyone else--

[powderkegs]

[ jinx runs it through her head. point A to point B. no, she's quite sure ereshkigal would have just killed silco. no fuss. transporting people just to do that? time consuming, pointless, discrete. none of those things line up with her. ]

There's something. Probably. She's Patient Zero. We start with her. Everyone else is a symptom.

[stonehearts]

That's the spirit. Now, I have a reputation for being a gambling man, but I'm willing to bet nearly all that I've accumulated here that if we find her, we'll find the rest of them, too. It's just a shame she had to grab the Doc first -- he'd have been our best bet on tracking her down.

[busternaut]

man what the fuck

should've guessed something was up when he wasn't in here immediately saying something snide

[powderkegs]

Looks like your bf is next!

[busternaut]

not if i have anything to fuckin' say about it he's not.

[watch this message turn out to age VERY BADLY.]

[powderkegs]

Yeah, I'm sure the power of love and your bad hair will save the day.

[coordination]

[ hELP ]

How about we assume nobody is next so we have more people on this side of things working on a solution!

[powderkegs]

No thanks. I saw some of the solutions. Won't work. Also stupid.

@greatvalue

[newphew]

We'll find him.

[powderkegs]

I'll find him. I don't give a shit what any of you do.

[newphew]

I'm saying i'Ll help you Jinx.

[powderkegs]

I didn't ask.

@durante

[followyourstar]

Silco too? Did you see what happened?

[powderkegs]

Pretty much what the post says. Blink of an eye.

[followyourstar]

Kind of like how it happened for Dr. Ratio, then. And if Raidou's theory really is the one that's correct...

[powderkegs]

Waste of time.

You want to play prevention? Fine. Make theories. But I've got to work on the chase.
