Before the three get ready AAA informs Cecilia about going on to the expedition
Cecilia- I see, even if it is one of the 5 riches of the universe heading there, security will always be a doubt especially because that man works alone and has no henchmen unlike the other richest.
AAA- Along the way I hope I find some clues I have regarding this universe which....I think Bolt is the best option to learn about that.
Cecilia- If what you're saying and believing is really true then believe yourself and go with the flow! Safe journey and I have funded you enough Coinage for the entire journey. So, don't you worry you won't starve.
AAA- Alright alright thanks for the Coinage well then we should be heading out now, so see ya.
Cecilia- See ya.
After AAA returns to the room where both Bolt and Lyria have finished packing...
AAA- Ok guys time to depart to the land of skyscrapers, although its out first time I have marked a bunch of places that we could potentially visit and potentially avoid for our better case...
Bolt- Eh...why do I feel like the places we must potentially avoid will reveal us to the clarifications we seek.
AAA- So according to the UGG, Antharas, one of the five riches, is said to arrive in 3 days time in Echelon. From Tsala to Echelon it will take about 1½ days so we would reach earlier than him.
Lyria- So who is this Antharas....?
Bolt- I was checking the UGG last night and supposedly he is the CEO of CF Corporations.
Lyria- One of the richest, huh that shouldn't be a problem as long as we don't run into the stealthy vanguards.
AAA- The thing is.....we mostly will run into the vanguards. If you think about it news from the UGG is one hundred percent accurate and is also owned by another one of these 'riches'.
So let's get back where I was... So there will be a casino night after 3 days- the night Antharas arrives. Our job isn't to win any cash but observe the movements of Antharas so we could get closer to where we might find clues to the truth of Bolt's past.
Bolt- Then what about the 'overseer'?
AAA- Supposedly the overseer is also going to play in the casino night for formality.
Now for the places we want to avoid; it is the Fortress Dome: Skyveil. It is theorized that the Fortress Dome has supposedly hidden secrets which you guessed- can only be accessed by the Overseer of Echelon. Sam is the overseer and she has a pretty sharp eye so no matter what we should stay out of her sight. Unless we want to get the special treatment....
Lyria- .....
Bolt-...
AAA- Did I make that clear?
Bolt- So, does this 'overseer' have higher authority than Antharas?
AAA- Well obviously. But that is only inside of Echelon...
Lyria- Also, scouting is gonna be a pain in the ass for us as the average building in Echelon has about 300 floors. I also heard that Skyveil's upper floors are covered by...clouds.
AAA- That's the least of worries and when it comes to Skyveil as long as we avoid that place we should be completely safe and be able to get back to Tsala, our camp safely gathering intel.
However we must prioritise avoiding the UGG since they can follow our pursuit back to Tsala and create potential threats. So let's not be the attention seekers this scouting journey in Echelon.
Bolt- Yea you're right....if like you said the owner of the UGG is also one of the five riches then anything that isn't in our favour could also be possible....such as not allowing us to have privacy or trying to create harm to Tsala by using us as scapegoats.
AAA- My biggest concern is the CEO of CF Corporations. Why is he going to Echelon? That too alone without any henchmen. Society depicts him as a weak person with no combat capabilities but then that must require....and insane amount of confidence to walk into a casino night alone with no allies.
Lyria- He must have some tricks up his sleeve. Well there are some rumours about him that he is potentially immortal and stuff.
AAA- Could be the case, because only when you're immortal your never afraid of walking into traps alone.
Oh and for our last part of this...umm..meeting?? Do.Not.Engage.With.Any.Of.The.Vanguards.
Bolt - You speak a lot about these Vanguards....who are they actually?
AAA- They are exiles from different parts of the universe basically criminals. You cannot engage with them in combat as they are nearly unbeatable and your best bet is to escape. Fortunately I can use Quasar 🌌 and enhance it with Drift so we can always escape.
Lyria- The vanguards aren't a joke.
AAA- The only person to have survived a one on one with a vanguard is...Lyria. Although it was close it seems that the vanguards have the perfect defense and offense against anyone. Many of the members are not even revealed so as far as intel we know again.....ugh I'm tired of saying this....but intel from the UGG says that there are 3 revealed Vanguards. They can never predict their movements and neither do they know what kind of prowess these exiles have obtained but it's safe to say it's best to avoid them.
Bolt- Lyria..you??
Lyria- If it was anyone else they would've been annihilated but... something about their prowess...
Anyways since AAA is our expert not only in Driving but also helping us escape...I should keep my ego away and accept that I narrowly escaped death.
Bolt- What about their appearance?
Lyria- Seemed like a young female, the same age as us but there's no chance because the combat 'she' possessed was surpassing my skills. She also seemed to have Blue hair and her body was kind of in a reddish- purple state almost like that isn't her original body.
AAA- Anyways guys, our priority is to gather intel, possibly maybe...and maybe only confront Antharas but in no way do we want to create a ruckus by brawling.
Lyria- As much as I hate to admit it I have to agree with you, if we get into any combat there, well....we will be on the front page of the UGG and noted as potential threats to be erased....the last thing is you wanting to sleep peacefully and then a bounty hunter tries to disturb your slumber.
AAA- Well I think Bolt is pretty settled with us so we should set out...hold up it's evening already....hmmm..... lets just start now...if it takes 1½ days then we should be able to reach during the night time.
Lyria- Well I'm looking forward to see the neon theme they hype about Echelon. What about you Bolt?
Bolt- An average building is 300 floors? As far as I remember there used to be a building with 163 on planet Earth. But now...hearing this lets just see how this area towers the universe!
