As the corrosives collect on Zero, any exposed part of the wiring visibly turns green, then blue, before melting or disintegrating entirely. Similarly, any metal plating on the socket will also begin to peel away, depending on how long Zero remains in the cloud. The parts of the wiring that are properly braided may stay more intact, but as the acids threaten to soak through the braiding itself, the change in resistance may, over time, begin to interfere with any signals they pass or power they supply, and any corrosion that is induced will slowly progress over time as current passes through it.
After making several sequential planeswalks to obfuscate her trail, Lettie returns to her work, and waits for her network to report Zero's reappearance. Zero's wiring falls away as the corrosive does its work. She tries to scan the area the best she can while avoiding the cloud, finding evidence of someone crashing through the nearby thicket, but unable to track it anywhere or determine how old it is. [Magical readings: seven point six three five zero percent. Rift density at zero point two zero six zero percent. Elsewhere consumption at one point six two zero percent.]
She goes to
She goes to
She goes to
She goes to
After standing in place for a minute, Zero walks off, confused.
Broken reports pile in through a computer screen."Debug made contact!" "Diagnostics are... inconclusive." "Bring her home." A button is pushed. "... No response. Not even a rejection." The older scientist groaned. "Do we at least have a location?" "Yes, but Debug seems to have gone... rogue. It may not be valid for long." "Hrmph." They walk away from the screens to think. "Send in the dog." "...With all due respect, Hope is still under repairs from her last assault, if we send in Guarddog we'll have no defenses but the walls." The Experimenter turns to stare down the other. "Send in. The dog."

"I already have a blade," Zero says, ignoring the last question. "One that doesn't keep talking in my head after I tell it to stop." Unstable Wiring   Sorcery  Destroy target artifact or enchantment. If it was attached to a creature, Unstable Wiring deals 2 damage to that creature.
Dusmantle Blade - the benefits on this are small enough that i think its safe to make it equip 1 8/10

Anne looked at Zero with a confused but neutral expression on her face. Her foot clicks against the street's cobblestones slightly. Anne, Unreadable and Uncertain   Legendary Planeswalker - Anne  Whenever an opponent casts a spell targeting ~, counter it unless they have you create a 1/1 red and white Insect creature token with "This can't be blocked by creatures with power 4 or greater."  : Discard a card, then draw a card.  : Create X 1/1 red and white Insect creature tokens with "This can't be blocked by creatures with power 4 or greater."  "Well? What brings you here?"
Anne, Small and Meek Legendary Planeswalker - Anne Whenever one or more loyalty counters are removed from Anne, Small and Meek, create that many 1/1 red and white Insect creature tokens. [+1]: Untap up to one target creature. It gets +1/+1 until your next turn.
[+1]: Up to three target creatures must attack Anne during their controller's next combat step if able.

Anne, Unreadable and Uncertain - Anne's passive is real bad, but her other abilities are okay. 7/10

Very interesting counter to equipment / aura decks. The blade scoffs. May it serve you well. And as soon as Zero looks away, the blade is gone, and her mind returns to the regular levels of disquiet. |

Shortly after the fight with Lettie and Experiment[4]...
Karina chased after the tumbling Experiment[4] as best she could with her spear and Sevid's broom in tow. The drone was still planeswalking at random, but it seemed to be drifting further away with time. She focused on the two things, letting them float beside her so she could run easier. It dawns on her that even if she catches it, it will probably just keep blinking away. She stops once she gets closer to it and takes a deep breath. Just reach out and let her out let the lightning melt the chains flow. Deep breath. She focused on Fulmen, not the lightning. A bolt arced out, striking the bot. Its arms flailed, then fell limp. The drone rolled to a stop. She collected the spear and broom, then focused on the drone. --- Zero internally grumbled as her magical readings started creeping up to a familiar value. She steps out of her shelter to assess the situation. It was indeed Planeswalker[10], and she was... dragging the machine... through the air? Was this a threat? She had orders not to hurt this girl. "Hey!" the girl waves. "I caught this robot, thing. These were the things that were looking for you, right?" She turns to look at it, "Except this one seemed like it was screaming, kinda. I think it's broke." Not a threat? An offering, perhaps? "And you have brought this to me." "Well yea, I figure you'd want to know... or I don't know. Someone's looking for you, wouldn't you want to find them?" Karina stops several steps away from Zero, allowing the drone to continue floating forward.
"Indeed I do, but I'm not sure what I can do with a drone you have broken." "I didn't brea-well," she grimaces and rubs the back of her head, "Okay, I did zap it, a little, but it was already pretty broken when I found it." Zero lightly touches the floating drone to turn it about. "Can you do some robot-connecty thing? I don't really know like, machine stuff too good, but you can connect stuff I know that." "Not anymore." Zero says simply. Whatever entity had used that fog attack ensured that. And she lacked tools to do anything of use with the carcass. "Thank you for your assistance," she says half-heatedly, opening a rift near the drone. As before, Karina flinches at the sight of the spell. "Why do you do that?" "Because of all the spells you're doing, its really bright when you do all that at once." "What are you talking about? There is one spell. And it is not very bright at all." "No, really, look, this is one of the things." Karina lifts up her hand, which vanishes as though she had reached into a rift... but none were near her. "And the swirly color thing, and this?" She casts a spell, but nothing seems to happen. "I don't even know what that did." Zero focused on the girl. It had increased the rift density. Somewhere nearby, there must be a rift. That she opened. Her sensors built her a better picture. Beside Zero was the rift she had opened herself, only slightly larger than the drone. Beside the child stood a tear in the plane, taller than the child, perhaps taller than even herself. Quietly, she sealed the rift. “Something only I can do. Or perhaps that is the reason why there seems to be multiple spells. What does it even matter to you?”
“Well, it’s a pretty neat spell,” she waves around her spear and broom, “I’m always carrying a bunch of stuff so something like that would be pretty useful.” Karina tries to give a friendly smile. “And learning spells with people is a good way to get to know them.”“This is not a spell for a child.” Zero immediately cuts her off. “These are rifts of Elsewhere! If not carefully maintained, its creatures will break through them and wreak whatever havoc they please!”Karina and her smile stumble at the yelling. “Uhh, should you be leaving that one open then?” she asks weakly. Zero stares her down for a moment before turning her attention to putting away the machine. “I guess I shouldn’t, then.” The drone passes through the swirling colors of the rift… and cut through it, now floating behind the rift. The two look at it for a confused moment. “What did you do to this?” Zero demanded. “I told you, the zap, that’s it.”“Why won’t it go through!”“I don’t know!”Zero closed the rift, then opened another and tried again. The drone remained. She pulled a knife from the rift. She set it on the drone, then tried again. The drone passed through, but the knife was gone. This was not how the rifts were supposed to work. Anything could go through… just not everything could survive the trip. “It looks like maybe things that are alive can’t go through?” Karina asks. Zero shakes her head. What sense would that make. Where did she even get that idea. She turned to tell the girl off and froze. She stood by a rift, a complete rift, and was kicking a patch of long grass into it, the blades cutting through as the drone had. “But with…” she shows a handful of dried out pieces she had collected and tossed some, disappearing into the rift. “Oh, that’s, that’s not hard to clean is it? Sorry…”The errant programming about Planeswalker[10] rattled in her head. She finally growled. “Have you not been listening!” The child whimpered and stepped back. “Get out of here before you make a mess of everything!” Zero stepped forward. The young planeswalker was gone. The drone clattered to the ground. You didn’t have to do that.It had been awhile since one of them had gotten through. And longer since she had paid them any mind. Zero investigates the rift the child left behind. All the sensors indicated it was like any of her others. It was even a more appropriate size. She reached into the rift. And her hand passed through like the drone and grass. She sealed all the rifts and stormed back off to her shelter, dragging the drone behind her. She needed to think. --- [backup_fix.ins loading…]

Zero's consumption readings skyrockets to the highest value she's recorded since leaving home. Without a word, her sword is in her hand and slashes at the sudden interloper.Beating of Minds Instant Beating of Minds deals damage to any target equal to the difference between the number of cards in your hand and the number of cards in that player's or permanent's controller's hand. I struggle to evaluate this due to a lack of comparable cards. It's very situational - you need to be emptying your hand faster than your opponent's, which means you need to be emptying your hand fast and your opponent needs to be emptying their hand Not Fast. I think this is okay but it would depend on how many free discard outlets are out there. 8/10. The eyeball spills open like a satchel of dirt. The good news is that the eyeball is no longer moving, nor is the rest of the interloper. The bad news is that Zero's consumption readings haven't even hit their highest point yet as the fallen spawn begins to attract more of its own kind. From a distance, The Beckoner mutters to herself. "Such was the concern we faced back home..." Asymmetric Scrounger  Creature - Eldrazi Drone Devoid (This card has no color.)When Asymmetric Scrounger enters the battlefield, you may exile a card from your hand and/or exile a permanent you control. If you do, draw a card for each permanent or card exiled this way. Asymmetric Scrounger gets +X/+0, where X is the number of cards exiled among Eldrazi you control. 0/5 |

Zero sat outside her shelter in the waking light of the day. Her sword rested along the ruined wall, catching as many of the early rays as it could. The fight on the coast had drained her in every way. The flashback ran through her circuits again and again and again.
The planeswalker was helping her. She must not have deserved her fate. Why, then, had she let her suffer it? Her duty was to protect. That was never your duty.
For once, Zero did not dismiss the other voices. I don’t know what all that bastard was planning with you, but it was always bloody. You just hadn’t been paying attention.
She had been doing good though. She had fought that giant creature of Elsewhere You mean that little girl? She had protected people at the coast A front to kill you, they’d have been fine if not for you. She had… She had… Killed a bystander.
Absolutely not. No matter what she had seen she hadn’t directly harmed a civilian. The woman with the bombs. The explosive spewing creature of Elsewhere that had shot her. The civilian terrified of a murder bot. Even if true that would not make her a bystander. Are bystanders not allowed to defend themselves?
Her mind was tearing itself apart. No, they were tearing it apart. She knew her mission. She needed to get back to Nulien. If the drone was correct about the Transition Station, Spark Labs hadn’t just fallen, it was on the run. The creatures of Elsewhere there must be overrunning everything, and here she was running errands for people trying to kill her instead. All for less than no information. Even if she had the location, she hadn’t been able to planeswalk in days. Since the rogue drone.
They did want her back, right?
The other drones acted like they did, but this one attacked her. Took away her planeswalk? It brought back some things, but it may have done more harm than good. That's a running theme with everything that Experimenter of yours makes.
You say that to me? YES. came a chorus of voices.
She didn’t have any fight left in her.
===
The magical readings jumped as they always did. Planeswalker[10]. Zero looked to her, a tiny child decorated in the artifacts of a dozen different planes. She stopped to catch her breath before another planeswalk, taking a brief look around before stopping on Zero.
I'm not sure how I feel about this "extraction" thing. You'd better not extract her. I'll make sure someone finds you if you do.
She remembered, now. Thanks to the drone. It wasn’t the Experimenter’s orders to be wary of this girl. Just the words of another child she’d let meddle to try to fix things. And yet, she had tried to help. Had not sold her out to Wormwood despite her ability to. They had seemed to be allies, even. Planeswalker[10] was a weird, desperate lifeline. But the scared little girl debating if she should run might have been the only one left.
“Wait.”
It was enough to keep her here despite what she had seen of Zero already. For whatever reason, she was ready to assist.
“I apologize for what happened last time. Things have been. Difficult.”
Karina pulls a small device from her bag and taps at it. “Do you want to talk about it, or something? I’ve never really heard about what you do, just bits and pieces.”
Be diplomatic. Do not ruin the last opportunity. “It is supposed to be simple. I protect the citizens. I defeat the creatures of Elsewhere. But it has not been simple. The citizens attack me. The citizens sometimes are creatures of Elsewhere. I am far from home, and I cannot find my way back.”
“I can help with that last thing, at least,” Karina says, sliding down to sit on the wall with Zero. “I work with people called the 7CI, they help planeswalkers that get lost. If you come with me I’m sure we can get you back to where you’re supposed to be in no time.”
“I can’t come with you anymore.”
“Anymore?”
“I can no longer planeswalk. Thanks to that drone you found.”
“Oh no, I’m sorry, I didn’t know it would do something like that. Can it do that to anyone? Ahhhhh I touched it is that going to happen to me?!” she was hysterical all of a sudden.
“No, no, that was before you found it. It did something to me. You should be unaffected.”
The child’s breathing slowed a little as she tried to calm herself down. “Okay, okay, good. Well. You. You still have, do you still have, your spark?”
“Yes.” The voices had assured her of at least that much.
“Then, I can show you how it works. Get you to remember it, or whatever happened.” She stood back up and paced for a bit. “We don’t have the simulation things that I learned with anymore, but I can probably walk you through the basics, c’mon,” she waved.
Zero stood up and sent away her blade. “Well, how do you do it, then?”
“You just kinda, feel where you want to go, like… like you really want to be there, so you imagine it until it becomes where you are…does that help at all?”
Zero shook her head.
“Uhh. What are some other planes you know?”
“Nulien. Lovi. Kamigawa. Ushni. Dominaria.”
“Perfect, we can do Dominaria. Where did you go there?”
“A building at Tolaria.”
“Let’s go there then! Picture that in your head. What do you remember about it?”
“It was… the lab of a Henry Brayden. There was a table where I was examined for a new arm, a machine to create it. A very loud machine. Books from planes all over. Tubes of unknown liquids.” Zero held the reconstructed image in her head, unsure that this was going to be helpful.
“What was the building like?”
“Stone, primarily. A very old material. A very old building. Very dark in the areas the candles couldn’t reach. Very cold, for those who care for such things.”
“Are you ready to go there?”
“I am.”
A tiny hand grabbed hers. “Then walk there.”
Zero hesitated, then finally took the step. There was a rush of energy through her. Her readings fluctuated wildly as the wasteland of the Arena melted away and replaced itself with the cold stone of the academy at Tolaria West. Planeswalker[10] appeared at her side.
“Oh wow, we got deep in here, huh? We should probably get somewhere we’re allowed to be before someone finds us.”
“We will not need to stay long.” She considers her options. “You do not know the plane of Nulien, I take it?”
“I haven’t found anything yet, but I can ask some more people,” Karina whispers. “Even Pidge hadn’t heard of it though, and Pidge knows everywhere. It’s got to be really far away.”
Zero looks away from her. “Find me again if you do then. Still, thank you for your help, Karina. This will be enough to hunt down Wormwood, at least.” She began to focus again on the Arena.
“Why would you need to planeswalk for that? She has her shops on the Arena just fine.”
“So she can’t run away this time.”
Zero was gone.
You're... arming a broken machine!
"Oh no." She followed the planeswalk. Thankfully back to Zero's shelter. Thankfully she was still there. "Zero, wait! Please don’t hurt her!"
“If all goes well her death will be swift and painless.” Zero answers without turning around.
“Don’t, don’t kill her.”
“If I don’t, she’ll kill me. She’s made her choice.”
Karina sighed. “She thinks you’re a monster.”
Zero stopped. This was not what she was expecting. Where was she going with this. “What about you?”
“You’re… someone who needs help. Someone who’s stuck doing what she doesn’t want to do, because she doesn’t have any other choice. Who wants to do the right thing, but keeps messing it up.”
Zero was quiet. Getting her to stop was a small victory.
“You don’t need to hurt her. Just show her we can do better. We keep trying. We can stop hurting people.” Karina pinches at her eyes. “That… that you aren’t a monster anymore.”
“I went to her to try to help you, because, because, everyone saw the monster. And no one wanted to help the person inside. She told me ‘Spark Labs is the enemy, and to help Zero, you would have to break her again,’ and I think she’s right, you don’t—”
“She told you what,” Zero growled.
“They’re the thing doing this to you! You don’t have to listen—”
“Has this been your game from the start, just another pawn of Wormwood trying to cover for her?”
“What, no! She told me not to do this! She doesn’t want you to get better, she—”
“That is just how her schemes work. Pit souls against each other and let them destroy each other. That’s all this is.”
“No, listen!” Zero was running. Karina followed, but she stood no chance to the machine’s speed. She’d gone and done it again.
Maybe they really were just monsters.

Iritola taps her fingers over her pocket. The coins are a reassuring, if odd, weight. When was the last time she used coins? She had her own credit chip at the institute. Absolutely everything was provided. Well. As long as she could argue for it. Coins aren’t that different, really. You just need to convince the right people that you need the money. Or that you’ll get them their return back.
Finding the right people. Well that’s the trick. At least the shop’s helping with that. Healers are always indispensable and… well her skills aren’t that different. And she almost has enough for the probe she saw her first day in town. A mana measuring device, even if primitive, will help her research immensely. 2 more checkups, 3 more poultices or 1 draught administered to the right customer could get her there… She’s so lost in her own head that she almost collides with another person on the street. She hastily apologizes as she backs up. Not the way to make friends, Iritola. That’s not how you influence people.But all the worries drop out of her mind as she rounds the next corner. She’s running before she thinks. “Is that a motorcycle? Is it fueled by mana?” She doesn’t wait for an answer before she’s sliding under the contraption, looking for an engine or any other obvious source of power.

Lettie tries to choke back her tears long enough to have a semblance of composure, with the sternness to match. “...Child. I do not know the means by which you coerced Zero, but they will not be necessary at this point.” Karina nods. “I’ll… give it back when we’re back outside.”
As Zero makes her way outside the bakery, she finds Karina, having already opened a rift. Zero still could not wrap her mind around how the child could do this, but she could not deny it was here. Her hand was cutting through the rift, and Zero's sword was nowhere to be seen.
"Um, okay, so..." Zero's fist clenches. "No, it's fine! Just, I need to see you pull something through first!" Her patience was already being tried so soon. "Why?" "So, I can like copy spells? So if you do it, I'll be able to copy it and bring it back. Easy." There is panic in the child's eyes, but enough confidence to her words. Zero relents and opened a rift, pulling the box she had just been given out. Sure enough, the child replicates the motion, and her sword very suddenly appears. "Woah!" Karina's tiny arms aren't prepared for the sudden weight. Zero's arm snaps across her body to grab the hilt before it could hit the ground. In another moment, it was gone again, back safely in Zero's rift. "Well this has been a day." Zero says. "Let's try not to do this again." She turns to leave Planeswalker[10] hopefully forever. "So, where was it?" She stops walking. She had to admit she also wanted to know. "I do not know." "Where does it normally go?" Karina asks, walking over to Zero. "My rifts go to a protected place on another plane. Normally there is an enchantment with it. I do not know where yours may lead. I am just thankful it is somewhere safe enough." "...Zero Inventory," Karina says softly.
"Zero Inventory?" "Uhhhhhh, nevermind. Coooould you show me that enchantment thing?" Karina gives the robot a big smile and pleading eyes. "Why would I do such a thing?" "Wh, um." She hadn't really thought about that. Usually the people she met were happy to teach her spells. "Uhh, you said it wasn't a spell for a child right? But I'm totally gonna use it! You can't stop me!" "What." is all she can manage. She can tell the child is planning some new gambit, but what it actually is is beyond her. "Yep, caaan't stop me. Buuut, you could show me how to do it the right way?" Another round of pleading. The child's face was doing nothing to sway her. But her... threat? Argument? It was unclear. Whatever it was, there may be some truth to it. Or it may be complete nonsense. She was unfortunately not entirely sure. Karina's copying had already thrown out so much of what Zero thought she knew about her rifts out the window. Zero continues walking away. Karina's head droops. "After the fight with Lettie, I do see the advantage in having multiple locations available to me," she says as she walks. "And there are so many places to hide such a thing on this Arena." A smile creeps onto Karina's face. She runs after Zero. "Oooh, I lived here for like a year, I know some great hiding places!"
So. This has been on the agenda for...Behind the curtain there is still no one, just a big bed and a treasure chest. I look at it, which has the double writing again: "Zero Inventory: Prepare, Pack, Emergency, Replace" a while.it's nice to finally have that done and dusted.
Buried under the corroded metal and cracked lumber of Lettie's collapsed shop, colors swirled inside a tear in reality.
She catches a glint of the vial and rips open a wide rift to catch it. Nulien would have to forgive her. Somewhere on the Arena, an enchantment is cast. A little girl smiles at her newest trick. The colors flicker and vanish. Beside the child stood a tear in the plane, taller than the child, perhaps taller than even Zero herself. Quietly, she sealed the rift. Somewhere, not on the Arena, something notices.
Zero has unlocked mana value 8.

The creatures of elsewhere go silent - at least, for now, anyways. Far away, a mysterious stranger walks away, scribbling notes all the while about how which parts to best slash them with a sword. While the stranger isn't much one for swords, she does know people who are...

Iritola does a thorough examination of the motorcycle before she gives into her baser instincts and just taps the glass. The sound rings clearly and for a moment she’s not on this backwater plane with nothing more than the clothes on her back. She’s in a lab, her lab, with proper ventilation and labeled beakers and the drip drip drip of a titrant… She shakes her head and focuses on the task at hand. She follows the tubes to the fuel tank. The connections are secure but there’s nothing in them. “To start with, it’s empty.”Personal Reflections Enchantment Whenever one or more cards leave an opponent’s graveyard, draw a card.
Make Sense of the Lost - The second mode here is really neat as a sort of delayed rescue for an aristocrats strategy. It seems a little swingy but the turns it enables are really cool. 9/10"Empty?" she merely echoes. "Do we need to put solar cells inside the machine? How would they collect sunlight?" Don't you dare put those on my baby rings in Zero's head. Sorcery Exile target nonland permanent. As long as it remains exiled, its owner may pay at any time to put that card on top of their library.

“Solar cells?” She scrunches her nose. “Well you’d charge them first before putting them in the engine but this looks like it takes gas, or certainly some sort of concentrated liquid.” She pulls out a flat piece of metal with a needle mounted in the middle and holds it in her hand, flat over the engine. Her expression breaks into a smile as the needle twitches.

Before Iritola can answer, a shimmering reddish rift opens beside Zero, and from it she pulls out a large pane of silver, with slightly jagged edges, likely something salvaged from one of the battle-weary buildings of the Arena.

Karina hums a happy tune as she makes her way out of the Atlas Bakery with a glass box of fresh muffins. Something seems off as the door closes behind her. She looks around. One of Zero’s blue rifts was open, but Zero was nowhere around. Weird. Should I close this one?
A dreadful black color takes over the rift. She’d never seen it do that before. She leans in closer.
A clawed hand lashes out of the rift to greet her. Yes, close it, close it!
At her spell, the rift very suddenly zippers shut. The clawed hand clatters to the ground, severed from whatever it was attached to.
In the distance, a black line crawls up the sky. She taps at the comm on her ear. “Seeevid? I think something big is happening.”
The earth beneath her feet rumbled slightly. “I’m gonna go get Reyhsia! And, and whoever else!”
In another spell, she and the muffins were gone.

cajun Fleur The pirate does not respond to Zero's arrival, but her incantations eventually finish while Zero watches, the woman's arms slowly falling to her sides. She turns to face Zero, her face the same as before, but the gaze it gave her different from the brief glimpses she had gotten before. Less fierce, but colder, responding to Zero's presence with little fanfare, merely noticing she was there. Behind the pirate, the air began to warble. "Nothing, unfortunately," the woman known as Kadri answered, her attention briefly turned to Mira on the periphery, who she raised a hand to suggest she stay where she was, before turning back to Zero. "She is silent, either she doesn't care for you, or has other things on her mind at the moment." She stood still within the crisscrosses of marking and etchings in the stone bluff, and seemed to be unarmed. Appearances, however, were rarely as they seemed. "I, however, have no desire to see further ruin brought to this world. My work here, once it is concluded, will mean the departure of Kadri, and you may be assured she will be unlikely to wantonly destroy the lives of those around her, and herself, while under my orders." The air behind the woman continued to bend, as if there was a sheet of material being warped and folded in mid-air. The water at the edge of the shore began to pull back, where before it had been rushing to meet the rock edifice the pirate stood on, now it was rolling back with each crash of the waves, leaving more of the sands beneath exposed with each passing moment. The pirate's brow furrowed. "You will leave me to my business. His Will, and the Unspoken, have been invoked upon this realm, and there must be a tribute to them, lest we all face their wrath and ignominy." For Mira, the beginnings of something pertinent to her research were beginning to emerge. For Zero, though not cleft like her rifts were, the fold that was emerging would seem like the signs of something from beyond the plane, pressing against the firmament and pushing to reach into their world. Something from elsewhere than here. Will of the Depths Instant Copy target spell, then counter the targeted spell. You may choose new targets for the copy. “His will and mine are one.”

While her information lines are nowhere near the Arena's finest, Zero catches wind that the pirate captain had finally made her return. She makes her way to the lonely beach, sword already drawn. Shimmering red rifts open around her. "If it isn't the necromancer pirate?" she calls out. "Do you know how many you left dead the last time you showed your face?"
Electricity crackles down her blade as she gets closer. Can she be better? "What do you have to say for yourself?"

She was very curious about how the summoning would happen but more importantly, about how one might stop a summoning like this one. She recognized Zero from her previous observations - she might know how to stop something like this, perhaps? She watches from afar, doing her part with enabling the ritual but not stopping Zero.

She stood still within the crisscrosses of marking and etchings in the stone bluff, and seemed to be unarmed. Appearances, however, were rarely as they seemed. "I, however, have no desire to see further ruin brought to this world. My work here, once it is concluded, will mean the departure of Kadri, and you may be assured she will be unlikely to wantonly destroy the lives of those around her, and herself, while under my orders." The air behind the woman continued to bend, as if there was a sheet of material being warped and folded in mid-air. The water at the edge of the shore began to pull back, where before it had been rushing to meet the rock edifice the pirate stood on, now it was rolling back with each crash of the waves, leaving more of the sands beneath exposed with each passing moment. The pirate's brow furrowed. "You will leave me to my business. His Will, and the Unspoken, have been invoked upon this realm, and there must be a tribute to them, lest we all face their wrath and ignominy." For Mira, the beginnings of something pertinent to her research were beginning to emerge. For Zero, though not cleft like her rifts were, the fold that was emerging would seem like the signs of something from beyond the plane, pressing against the firmament and pushing to reach into their world. Something from elsewhere than here. Will of the Depths Instant Copy target spell, then counter the targeted spell. You may choose new targets for the copy. “His will and mine are one.”
— Maevah, Empress of DepthsThe beings from elsewhere begin to emerge, and Mira observes intently. She was very curious about how the summoning would happen but more importantly, about how one might stop a summoning like this one. She recognized Zero from her previous observations - she might know how to stop something like this, perhaps? She watches from afar, doing her part with enabling the ritual but not stopping Zero.
Through Twisted Paths Sorcery Devoid (This card has no color.)Whenever a colorless permanent enters the battlefield under your control this turn, you draw a card and lose 1 life. "What are you talking about?" Zero asks to the confusing speech from Kadri.
Trying for answers became a much smaller priority as the Elsewhere readings began spiking. Kadri hoped to do far worse than raid some settlements.
Zero runs for pirate captain, sword at the ready. She tries to seal Maevah's growing fold as she would close her own rifts. Instant Exile target spell. Paralytic Feedback deals damage to that spell's controller equal to its mana value.
