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!]

It can never be a simple answer, huh? Would've been easier if it was related.

Everyone whose been snatched has interacted with a kaiju directly-? Not sure if that narrows down the pool of possible next kidnapees or what.

Most here have had direct contact with kaiju during battle. Though I cannot speak for Hiyori-san, who is a doctor and maybe not have been in the battles directly. So I can't say for sure.

Another theory is that those being taken have gotten strong hits or KOs against the kaiju. I don't believe Hiyori and Tsurumaru are among those, but that doesn't mean there isn't something else they could have done to boost others into doing more damage.

You'd think we'd all be fighting in giant robots, but guess that's not in the budget.

At this point, we're all just kinda guessing. Maybe it is about whoever got the biggest hit or amplified big hits? Maybe it isn't. We're just trying to solve a puzzle with missing pieces.

[the_fourteenth]

I think we're lucky to the giant robots we do have. At least one of our pilots has experience fighting kaiju, as well.

You're right. It's hard for me to confirm my theory, but I wouldn't put it out there if I didn't think there was a reasonable chance it could be right. I'd rather be wrong and have warned everyone.

[makesascene]

I won't disagree with that. Just, dang, we could've used a bit more.

Yeah, yeah, I get you. I won't discourage discussion or anything. I'm just wishing we had more! This whole situation sucks on a variety of levels. Suckatiude levels like you've never seen before.

I concur. I knew someday, something like this might happen with the rifts. It's just hard to be prepared for it now that it's happened. So much of it is a mystery that it's hard to speculate.
