Artifact Gallery

You have entered the Artifact Gallery, a room in Wataru's base that houses the various objects that have been acquired on his travels to other dimensions. Denryu Wizard manages this room and its contents. [[Talk to Denryu Wizard.]] [[Examine the artifacts.]]

You approach the familiar who is stationed at its desk. (text-colour:blue)["What can I do for you today?"] [[Examine the wall behind its desk.]] [[Examine the wooden box next to its desk.]] [[Examine the artifacts.]]

You approach the shelf where all the artifacts are kept and interact with a console next to it.

(text-colour:purple)[(b4r:"dashed")+(b4r-colour:white)[OBJECT DESIGNATION: C001 Corroded Metal Plate]] //Acquired from: Dimension MS2021-ZDR// //Strix's report: A large plate made from a metallic substance. Initial research suggested that this substance was once considered one of the most impervious metals in the known star system of origin. However, due to exposure to extremely high heat and damage, the integrity of this plate is similar to known Terra-0008 metals. Damaged parts may disintegrate into metallic powder, please exercise caution when handling.// [[Return to console main menu.|Examine the artifacts.]]

(text-colour:purple)[(b4r:"dashed")+(b4r-colour:white)[OBJECT DESIGNATION: C002 Hakkyokuken Energy ZERO]] //Acquired from: Dimension RGG'-σ1988// //Strix's report: A bottle of a commercially available energy drink. This specific brand did not appear to exist in the actual dimension it was obtained from, but was transformed upon its transfer to the Terra-0008 home base. Regardless, it appears to have the same effects as the energy drinks in the home dimension, which have curious restorative properties as well as the ability to induce intense bursts of combative energy.// //Additional instructions: Do not consume the contents of this bottle, as there is only one of these in the base. The formula has already been studied, and can be replicated using the onboard drink dispenser if needed. - Strix// //Wataru's note: I've changed the formula for the Mezzano's onboard drink dispenser. It should have 99.3% less caffeine now. Sorry about this, but I'm doing this on account of my own health considerations.

Unlike most spellbooks, it contains instructions for only one spell, called "Explosion". This spell is capable of instantaneously combusting a large area comparable to a castle-like structure. Handwriting analysis suggests that it was once owned by a person named "Janus".// //Additional note: This object was obtained from a dimensional anomaly. Traces of another unidentified foreign dimension were found while analyzing this object. This object shows properties similar to a grimoire owned by a young female "archmage" who apparently only knows how to cast one spell. - Strix// //Additional note: A request has already been sent to HQ for further inquiry.

Interacting with it transports one to a small pocket dimension that appears as an endless garden of flowers. Visitors to the pocket dimension report sightings of the image of a young girl dressed in red who perished in the home dimension's distant past. Analysis of the home dimension's history reveals that the girl once lived in the city of Therome during the time of the Theroman Empire.// //Additional note: Avoid placing this object in the close proximity of any Terran soil-like substance as it will cause plant life to inexplicably grow on it. Analysis is pending as to how effective it is as a terraforming agent, which may cause it to be classified as a potential hazardous object by HQ. - Strix// //Wataru's note: Should I still be keeping this in Denryu Wizard's room? Ever since we stabilized the Tricolor Sun it seems that a portal to the flower garden dimension keeps opening randomly in the Mezzano.// //Strix's note: It doesn't seem to be doing anything that is compromising your ship's integrity.

The temperature of this branch seems to be always relatively cold compared to its surroundings regardless of the actual air temperature of the area. Despite this, the curator notes that it possesses a calming and revitalizing quality, not unlike Object #4. Unlike Object #4, however, it is a physically tangible object, and it doesn't seem to present a hazard to nearby plant or animal life.// //Wataru's note: I don't know what's happening, but holding this in my hand makes me... feel strange things. Particularly feelings of caring, sadness, or regret. Something oddly specific, like the feeling of wanting to make things right again, whatever that means.// //Mei Li's note: This is noted.

You look at the wall behind Denryu Wizard's desk. There is a shelf with books on it, likely magical spellbooks. One of them is labeled "Wind Blade".

There is a wooden box next to Denryu Wizard's desk. In it is a baseball bat. You look at Denryu Wizard and notice its unchanging expression. (text-colour:blue)["That baseball bat is used to hit things. Or people."] There is something rather unnerving about the casual way it mentions hitting people with a baseball bat somewhere..

You notice a small burn mark on the wall. For some reason you think this may be the result of a magic fireball, but there are strange... dark traces on it. Denryu Wizard stares at you intently, as if dissuading you from examining it further. [[Closely examine it anyway.]] [[Go back to the desk.|Talk to Denryu Wizard.]]

You may have seen burn marks before, but something about this one seems oddly... "dark" to you. How could a burn mark be darker than it usually is? Does it mean this piece of the wall is more burnt than usual? However, the color of the burn mark is objectively the same as a normal one. Your mind sees it as there being a color somehow darker than it is. Denryu Wizard moves in front of you and blocks your vision. (text-colour:blue)["This is just a burn mark. A mishap from a few days ago caused this. There is nothing out of the ordinary about it."] You keep your thoughts to yourself for now.

The medication is effective at reducing the occurrence of muscle pain and inflammation, although it places some strain on the recipient's cardiac conduction system for reasons that are fairly easy to identify. The inventor was only given a very short amount of time to come up with this, and suggests that this is only an ad-hoc solution for the time being. Regardless, it was seen fit for the methodology to be recorded.// //Tenchou's note: Before anyone asks, I will not authorize Wataru to be the test subject for this.
