[Someone has been in the Luministi Research Labs.

To the untrained eye, everything is still in its place despite the undetected intrusion. Not a paper has stirred. No chairs have been pushed out of their original positions in the slightest. Not even a single blade of grass in the town square has bent or crushed. Yet something
has changed.

Perhaps it's a slightly different tang in the air. One check of the life support systems, however, will tell one that the oxygen mix is the same as ever. The strange objects and rooms from the old citizens are still there as well, so still and untouched as the rest of the things in the town generally are. Even the remnants of the old Neptune sundial outside the library and the stone sundial in the park have been left alone.

The intruder smiles, knowing it is only the beginning. If the test goes as planned, then perhaps...

As quietly as the intruder came, the intruder now leaves without a trace. There are several observations to be done.

No sooner does the intruder leave, a video begins to play on all CAT units that shows a rather beautiful montage of the town while a kind gentleman's voice speaks. Some will recognize the voice as belonging to Mayor Caligin.]


    Hello and good morning! It gives me great pleasure to be able to greet you and welcome you to the Town of Luministi. My name is Constantine Caligin, Mayor of Luministi. I am sorry I am unable to greet you in person, but there is always something to be done here in town hall! Surely you understand.

    While I have a minute though, let me give you the highlights of our great and beautiful town.

    Here in Luministi, we strive to maintain the integrity of our quiet small town life while slowly bringing in new blood and new technologies. One look at our fine, eclectic town square and you will see how well we are progressing! There are many new and exciting places in town for you to explore, like our fabulous restaurants, recently renovated cinema, and our famous library. We welcome any feedback about them, from convenience to pure aestheticism. Our latest additions are identical housing developments situated in the west and east of Luministi's town borders and we hope you enjoy the accommodations! They have been built with the ideas of comfort and ease in mind.

    Unfortunately, that--
    [there is a slight disturbance in the audio, as if the original has been altered]--will be all for today. This has just been merely a test. Soon, you will see what joys your stay in Luministi will bring you. And it will bring you plenty of joy and happiness. So much so, you will never want to leave.

    Not ever again.

[And on that note, the video ends on a rather ominous shot of the town hall, and unintelligible voices begin to whisper to fill the void the video broadcast has left...]

[For a peaceful, tranquil vacation planet such as Fremercury, things have been anything but recently. For a few weeks now, more and more people have travelled to the planet in hopes of spotting three very famous and admired people from "Program: Luministi". The resorts are practically booked, suddenly filled to burst, and the beaches are not quite as sparkling any longer. People are, however, still getting lost in the deep, lush forests though... One can usually navigate the forest paths, using the various memorial statues as guides, but the memorial gardens have...changed, and only very recently. In some, the statues are no longer as musical, and some have been silenced altogether. In others...there seem to be more and more. But there had been six members to the ancient musical group named after an old Earth bug, right?

The disappearances have been kept out of the public eye. After all, why worry patrons, and Fremercury's three illustrious guests, with such trivial matters as disappearances? They've happened normally for the past twenty plus years anyway, so what's a few more? There are so many people around these days, it's not very obvious that there
are people going missing.

Nothing comes out until, one morning, when a whole group of regular fans disappear from their hotel rooms. This particular group enjoys standing vigil by the TARDIS at all hours until exhaustion forces them to retire for a few hours rest. The Doctor is surprised to find them gone when he notices that the crowd around the TARDIS is noticeably thinner than the other day, but he mentally shelves that issue for the moment. Someone on Fremercury must know Filippo Resarci's location, or in the very least, know something about him or the family. One doesn't become the CEO and showrunner of a very popular programme without some kind of information getting out about that person.

So after he parts ways with Jamie and Xion, he heads off towards the nearest resort, trusting them to their own investigations. He knows if there is any sort of trouble or if they find anything, they'll contact him over the CATs.

Besides...he wants to look into those missing people as well, and he knows most of them were staying at that particular resort: the Clapton...]

[At first, Croix was nervous about going into space. That was immediately laid to rest by the time the Longsword left the loading dock and Washington and he were flying on their own. What was left was excitement - subdued a bit by the knowledge that they were on a mission to find Resarci, but definitely still present.

The Longsword did move a bit like the airships he was used to, though it was certainly much... bulkier. He'd read the manual cover to cover. He was able to follow most of it, asked the proper questions when he wasn't sure, and Washington's mini-lessons filled in a few more of the gaps. At least if something went wrong, Croix knew he could take over well enough to get them to safety, if nothing else.

It only took a few days to reach Hyne-Savage, a journey that Croix treated as an opportunity to relax just a bit before getting back to business once they landed and began their search. By then, he was definitely ready to be back on solid ground. When it was safe to stand, he did so, taking a moment to roll his shoulders and collect himself. He kept quiet, though, and thoughtful. He had no idea what to expect from this place aside from the information given to them by Nathan, and he wasn't sure just how comprehensive it was. Well... expect the worst and hope for the best, right?

[For a long time now, he has remained silent, moving quietly from place to place, and observing. Always observing. He is the one who watches the watchers and knows, somehow, when things do not go the way he wishes them to. And he has gotten angry many times in the past, oh yes, but has yet to raise his voice even once. He doesn't need to. His associates' guilt and fear of him has kept them in check for a long time, but after too many disappointments and loss, he has no choice but to do everything himself. As he should have done from the beginning.]

[His presence, however, has not gone unnoticed. The other has been careful to mask its own presence, but has been hasty in past months. Then again, who else could break what he has created? This added difficulty has made him cautious and slow to make repairs, but now...he's almost ready. A test is what he needs now. He smiles, awaiting their reactions, and using a system he helped create, he sends two lines of text to those whose lives he can still touch, even from afar...]

[So, no matter where you are or what you are doing, a familiar device will chime. Perhaps you didn't even know you had such a thing on you, but for some reason, kept it on you at all times. Or you might be one of the lucky few to retain ready access to your memories in exchange for not being able to return home yet. Nevertheless, everyone with a CAT receives the same message at the same instant across the various worlds and universes:]


Soon, you will be returned to me. You will not escape again.


[The text remains on the CAT's screen before it saves itself to the device's text directory and replaces the top screen with the Town of Luministi directory, a list of familiar names and pictures suddenly displayed before you. What will you do now?]

[Nathan paces in front of the many screens in Caligin's office, waiting for the remaining inhabitants to report to him. they'll note that none of the picture frames remain in the office. at all. once they all arrive, he immediately launches into his spiel. he doesn't seem to have the same vigor as he did when he first turned up to send the others home. in fact, he seems rather strained and tired but plows through everything anyway.]

By my calculations, his transmission was coming from this sector of nearby space. [he taps one of the screens, highlighting a cluster of a planets orbiting a sun about the same size and color as Earth's.] Thankfully, there aren't too many planets here in the Eta System--only five, and only four are habitable. [he points out which ones are, ignoring the one planet closest to the sun, Eta.] There are a couple neighboring solar systems around there that he might try to flee to, but chances are, uh, that he hasn't quite made it that far even if he has escaped from this particular system. No ships in this time period can possibly make a trip that quickly. The technology isn't advanced enough for such things.

[he pauses for a second, heading over to a printer which has been spitting out copies of the coordinates and other details about the planets in the Eta system. silence falls during that moment, but then he suddenly looks up as if he's forgotten something.] Oh! Uh, speaking of travel, everything should be all done with the transport I wanted to provide for you. So your, er, TARD-IS should be back together again and completely functional. [turns to the other group] And I've arranged for a vessel from one of your worlds to appear in the lower level's docking bay. The on-board AI is probably a bit confused about the change in venue, so insert this data and it'll get it up to speed about this galaxy. [holds a data chip out to Croix and Wash as he passes out the copies] And I have one for your ship as well if it needs it. [hands it off as he passes copies to Jamie, Xion, and the Doctor]

That should be it! The CATs should be able to work outside the lab, but do not, under any circumstances, lose them. They're my only means of contacting you--and you contacting each other and Ichijou here in the lab. And I'd advise not using them in public. The people in the Eta System... [sighs, shaking his head] Just trust me. I don't want you getting separated from each other in case the fans get too crazy. I think you've all seen the comments by now... [gestures to a stack of papers on Caligin's desk] All of you are galactic stars of varying degrees, especially to those in the Eta system. Their level of dedication can be...scary. So just be careful.

[he looks like he wants to take a seat, but settles for leaning against the desk] Ah, and one last thing! All of the planets should have atmosphere and gravity comparable to this station, so you won't have to worry about, you know, breathing. There are some space suits down in the docking bay if you want to bring one just in case. [though he doubts the guy in the armor has to worry about that]

Contact me if you need anything or get into trouble. Just...don't call to shoot the breeze or anything, though. I have a job to do too.
